I Lost 3 matches, won 1, then lost a bunch more, then another cherished victory. At least though i've gone from decisive defeat to close defeat. I do try and play the higher ranked players and ALWAYS attack. I can't stand, well, standing around. You vets make a good point, its all about practice and if it takes 40 crushing defeats before you feel the game then so be it. I try to look on the bright side, at least I'm making the game more enjoyable for some other guy by providing him with a better opponent than the computer, and a well deserved victory. Most of my games end the same, me routing and maybe 3 of his broken bloody units staggering after my fleeing army haha.
For the purposes of both my network as well as multiplayer newcomers for any TW game, including the upcoming S2:TW, can you elaborate on your feeling of intimidation? Does it thwart you from keeping on playing? This is a very important issue, I think, to address. The last thing any admin wants is for the MP community to hurt because newcomers are feeling intimidated by vets or highly-skilled players. Thank you.
