Especially since on the previous page the tone of the post was as if the Great Guru had deigned to teach mere mortals a thing or two.
But it turned out he himself didn't manage it often, actually only once and that was on a money shuffle. The fact that someone had 14 archers is admittedly a brilliant example worthy of respect. But that happens once in 50 games. (if even that often)
4. I, personally, believe that Castle with a horses build is complete crap, even worse than Tower, which is unanimously considered the weakest town in 8mm6.
and that one really made me smile.
of course, who needs them.. who needs tempo and taking Dragon Fly Hives, conservatories, and money banks to build those same archers, right?
Angels are of course the main priority when playing Castle. But I think most people get them by week 3 anyway.
P.S. I wouldn't stir up this stink, but it seemed to me that in the criticism of Stickey's (and not only Stickey's) game there was more desire for self-affirmation than pointing out actual mistakes.
Newbies read this thread too. And what can they think when some guy lays it out so confidently and authoritatively? - they take it as a manual for action.
In short, what came out was a desire to pass off a subjective opinion as dogma.
