Originally posted by treetalkUrm, not to long to be honest. The first game I lasted about 20 weeks (I think) and then I played a veterans game, which had some of the best players in it, and started off by attacking the most experienced played in the game after 3 moves, with an overly ambitious naval attack from Kent to Zeeland (holland). I got my ass kicked by him and his cronies.
How many weeks/months have previous games you've been in lasted?
Bit off topic but:
Anyone know of a game where you have a map with lots of neutral provinces and initially send diplomats out to try to 'turn' them to your side.
I played it about 10 years ago and can't remember the name ... you can choose to play as the good (blue) player or the evil (pink) player ... the neutrals change colour depending on the efforts of your diplomats.
There were elves in their somewhere and I think at the bottom right of the map was an island with two troll provinces; one of which was Kern.
As it was a while ago, it was quite simple (I think).
Sound familiar?

Right, what if he attacks in phase 1 and wins, but i only arrive in phase 3, i have more troops what happens then, because he conquered it I guess i would be the guest? Or do I usurp him?

Hmmm - commoners can't recruit heroes but I just tried and have no problems with my hq plans ... will next turn say, 'Bad luck buddy, no hero and you lost your gold'?
Also, how does the battle calculator work? I put in everything for my army and my enemy's, and the fact that he's in a fort ... now what?
Is there some way of finding out the projected battle scenario/losses?
