His point remains. I don't know what the point of the topic is (to rant, vent, etc.) but more often than not people who are stripers (and usually lieutenants as well, ironically), do terrible moves. Who were can't say they've been frustrated by a cook that suicides into them? And how consistent does it happen? Fairly, I'd say. Well as you move up you'll realize that if you're only a private or sergeant or something, you're probably doing the exact same thing (hanging someone), you just don't realize it. Not all people. But a lot do. The skill difference between cooks and sergeants is noticeable no doubt, but neither will generally hesitate to throw the game from my experience. More often than not, I'd say at LEAST 75% of the time, in sequential world 2.1 games, sergeants have a poor (less than mediocre) strategy. They will merely break borders for the sake of it, attack who is ever next to them, fortify armies in another person's territories... etc. They fail to realize the very simple fact that if you have 8 people, and two people attack each other, the two that attack each other are worse off and the other 6 players are better off. This is talking about midgame of course, early game I find competency.
There was a point where I did the same thing, but I figured it out almost right away... about 150 games of shittiness on all maps for me before I started realizing what to do.
