    Default Re: Why Turtle

    I'm an old school TWer. I consider Blitzing to be the TW equivalent of playing FIFA on "easy" with all the cheats, and then going "look, I won 88-0!"

    I play with my own set of Iron Man rules - never break an alliance, always go to an allies aid, no reloads etc.

    As for the Blitzkrieg itself - that can still be done. Indeed, part of the fun of turtling is to suddenly unleash an all-powerful army on the enemy and lay waste to their lands before they know whats happening . Took me forever though playing as Bactria to win my RTRPE game - I promised myself Rome would be the last settlement I took to win the game and capture my last objective and 50th settlement. I furthermore promised myself I would do it with elephants in my army. Do you have any idea how long it takes to get Elephants from India to Rome...?

    "I request permanent reassignment to the Gallic frontier. Nay, I demand reassignment. Perhaps it is improper to say so, but I refuse to fight against the Greeks or Macedonians any more. Give my command to another, for I cannot, I will not, lead an army into battle against a civilized nation so long as the Gauls survive. I am not the young man I once was, but I swear before Jupiter Optimus Maximus that I shall see a world without Gauls before I take my final breath."
