leave? and dude, dpes it matter? the raiders are jsut for treasury stuff. its also quite fun to raid you, without you knowing what iv taken.. also, i wont rely on them totaly.

Raiders can be useful if played right... Like anything, they can be useful if done right.

 

I mean like you could use propaganda tactics and bribe nobles, then you have a huge mutinous army at your disposel.

If you really want to use them, then I'm not going to argue with you, and I'll stop trying to persuade you otherwise; It'll just make it far easier to win should a situation arise where somebody needs to fight you.

yeah, but rocco, how can you beat me that easily? i mean, jsut because your the HRE doesnt mean you will win.. oh, and ross.. the raiders are jsut to raid NPC and enemy countries in time of need.. and to have a bit of fun before i go on a major campaign.

Raiders cost money correct? In that case you are weakening yourself for a major assault. At any rate if that happened see above posted figure.

er, traps much/ that and the fact i can build more ships than you. tis a staple that islanders have to make, scince if you want luxurys, you need to trade for em. but anyways, why talk of war when wee are at peace?

EDIT: who said id use my entire army? id have a seperate raiding force.. idiots. im not THAT dumb.

Well my budget is about to rise 14 million if I conquer these guys, and then I'll probably go on to conquer southern Italy, maybe, I am not sure, have to hold off agaisnt Khan first.

 

Doesn't mean I can beat you guys, I mean I am alright at tactics, but I am so damn forgetful it is my main flaw.

who said i was raiding you? who said i was going to use my army to raid you.. god, you guys dont think straight right about now, do yeh?

... dude! for gods sake, i didnt mean i was raiding you now! im raiding england! god damnit!... i hate it when what i say comes back to annoy me.. in forms of people using them in the wrong way.

true, but how can you survive me raiding you so much? i jsut tell the raiders they can go and atatck you.. and keep msot of the loot, and you lsoe some infrastructure, some gold, and some of your valuable workforce.

Not quite sure how this can be taken any different way than how rocco took it...

simple. i meant it in the way of a posssible course of action. if he atacks me, or we go to war over something, how could he survive if i raided his supplies often enough to weaken his army? thats another way to take it, aint it!

... again, that actually makes sense! i said "who said i was raiding you" because im not raiding yuo now. how does that make me an idiot?

Earth, if you want us to understand what you're saying then use proper grammar and spelling. Please do note that's coming from a Norwegian who's typing fast at 04:30 in the night.

I was offering advice, take it or leave it.

 

Icu, keep a copy of The Art of War handy. It helps, believe me

Theres a pdf of it floating around on the interwebs somewhere.

wasnt talkign to either of you two. and im actually being a good speller right now. also, the advice was great ross, but theres no reason to use it now because i have a sperate raiding force, and a standing army.

I shall give it a read, there is everything on the Internet

wha? dude. its a hypothetical situation. i said im not raiding you now. that makes perfect, logical (god help me) sense. so.. why does that make me an idiot? it jsut means that it was clarifying into a hypothetical situation. your actually being a bigger idiot than i am, rocco.

Earth is the new hex, I fear :(

Wasn't talking to either of you two. And I'm actually being a good speller right now. Also, the advice was great, Ross, but theres no reason to use it now because I have a seperate raiding force, and a standing army.

That was an epic fail.

how so? dude.. it makes perfect sense. it wasnt tue.. so.. who said i was raiding rocco now? this is what happens when people dont think things through.

EDIT: mather, epic fail how? i said spellar, not gramatasist.

? dude! im jsut agreeing with you. is that a hard concept either?

Yeah, cuz talkign and sperate were proper spelling... :rolleyes:

This calls for

man. im not having a good day with you guys, am i?

No, take my advice and call it a night.

 

Can't go on tomorrow, I have grade 9 'grad' stuff all day. Ill try to sneak on in the wee hours o' the night.
