For your future reference... tips from Vanya's legendary...

SURVIVAL GUIDE TO BEATING THE COMPUTER AT MTW
=============================================

1) Do not play lightly. Play as if your LIFE depended on the outcome.

2) Ignore your kids or loved ones, and yell at them menacingly if they interrupt your concentration during battle. This is best acheived by letting a well-practiced battle cry rip from your throat. This will serve to both chill their blood and incite your own lapsing concentration levels.

3) Wear armor while you play. Nothing helps "get you in the mood" to go head-hunting that wearing thick armor plating. Just make sure you have the AC on in da house when you try this or you may find yourself in the midst of "heightenned realism".

4) When the music changes as the two armies are about to collide, thump your chestplate like an orangutang eyeing some sweet newbie poontang And holler like a madman (Do it right and your neighbors will not DARE knock on your door -- even at 3am)

5) When your general closes with enemy general, spew forth verbal taunts as you would to your priest during those "one-on-one tutoring" sessions you had as a kid.

6) If you accrue a vice... LIVE the vice If you accrue a virtue... LIVE the virtue. Unhinged loon? Start drooling, quoting Rainman and dancing like a queer porn czar in Utah Born Again? Dust off a bible and read a few lines 6-toed? Get a knife and cut a toe in half

7) If you win a battle, scream with joy and prance around the house brandishing your medieval weapon of choice recklessly If you lose, stab yourself in the gut with your weapon of choice (note: Vanya never suggested you actually REMOVE your armor for this. It's the intention that counts...)

8) When you sack a city and you are clamoring to pillage the womenz and plunder the horses... go ravage your wife/girlfriend/neighbor's mom while you celebrate She will love your "intensity" and you can call it "roleplaying".

9) If YOUR city gets sacked... if youz are REALLY into it, drive to your nearest undesireable urban location and drop yourself off amidst the hoodlums wearing nothing but a pair of pink bunny slippers and a hundred dollar bill nudged snuggly in your anus.

10) Yell into your monitor as if your subordinates can hear you If you yell loud enough, they might just actually heed your words of wisdom

Vanya sez... these wisdoms that Vanya has compiled over the years will help you successfully navigate the trials and tribulations that await you in the next level of your MTW play. In this case, that is NORMAL. But, these work on all levels...

So it has been said. So it shall be.

Nice

It should be an easy enough battle. Care to upload it for others to play. That'd be cool.

Also, there is the possiblity of just accepting the defeat. There will always be tomorrow.

Many thanks, Vanya

Hmm, a bit too expensive for now, so my Burger King happy meal crown (for the strategic map) and a cardboard box helmet (for the battles) will have to do.

Quote[/b] ]6) If you accrue a vice... LIVE the vice If you accrue a virtue... LIVE the virtue.

This is not a problem for me in some cases, such as Drinker. Others, such as Butcher, might result in incarceration, the main problem of which is I understand access to MTW in jail is quite limited.

Congrats... we knew you could do it.

[katank]

congratulations.

height advantage is very good.

more missiles in a sure defensive situation is good.

[Oleander Ardens]

True - a fine missle army can defeat a inferior enemy host often with ease without loosing many. If you pull this of often you will get full high-valor units increasing your chance of your nest win with the same tactic...

[SwordsMaster]

After Vanya´s advice, ther isnt much to add...

[ROCKHAMMER]

Congrats, Rufus. We knew you could do it.

Now let the victory celebration begin
