Game #993 | phirpo vs rrrrookie 3

we played a long game. i didnt get a t3 early on. priority of modding should be nothing but:

- dreadnought
- water mp- and defense-penalty
- scorched earth
- roads
- city / base defense

because that's where the dog lies buried (to mistranslate a German saying)

i ll send you another email soon and you may delete the last one i send to you. 

Ok, Large maps tend to facilitate what happened to you but I think we have an issue with the Quests. It's not the first time I read a lot of powerful rewards from Quests and I experienced it myself on a recent game + to a lesser degree the Top 8 game with a lot of T4 rewards.
Do you remember the difficulty level (displayed in game) for the T3 Quests?

I think we need to make sure T3 are not rewarded in Easy Quests and Medium Quests are not provided early on, see https://forum.paradoxplaza.co...

mc was not as present as rrrookie makes it sound. i was offered 1 or 2 shock troopers by a vassal quest, a gryphon rider by a vassal quest, 3 shock troopers by fulfilling the 8 city eq, i got several fairies and hunters as reward from structures, i bought a dwarf firstborn. i also gained two wyvern from my dragon vassal, and summoned two frost elementals.

i only had one stack with 3 evangelists in it. i had a flying stack under my leader, and with that one i was quite productive, also converting some units a long the way. 

we played a 50 turn game on a large map. i had 9 or 10 cities and also build impalers nonestop in one city to be ready for an exalted attack from rrrookie. 

at least for the beginning i didnt have a strong game. i rather accidentally ended up in front of rrrookie's base. i destroyed one city and but then had to retreat. rrrookie lost one city and couldnt clear many more structures. i united troops, added more units, and then just came back from the same direction, supported by another strong group coming from the south. 

if you lose one city and must return to your base and then cannot clear many more structures, then, after a while, you ll lose the game. rrrookie did lose to mc, rather to flying mobility and lack of clearing structures. mobility and aggressive playstyles - what aow3 is all about

Did the MC mainly occur through heroes/Leader or Evangelist?

Phirpo snowballed out of control in a strange game. Our thrones were not opposite each other on the map whcih threw me off a little bit. Phirpo was able to MC many units and had built a lot of exalted by the time the game was over. I could have held out a few more turns for him to defeat me in a big battle but even if I had beaten him once he had many more powerful stacks.

As you can see the game was over many turns ago: Also wow look at his score.
