Use every advantage possible to win every fight.
Now, on the surface, that seems crazy to say. There should be limits to warfare, like not causing excessive suffering. If you’re going to kill someone, make sure that it’s clean, quick, and painless. While I’m tempted to call that stupidly idealistic, if I’m going to get killed, I’d like to die cleanl...

A monster.
The King of Wisdom plucked a monster from the depths of hell and set her upon me like a creature of nightmares in the guise of a young woman.

The predatory gazes of the soldiers of the camp wandered over them.

Then, the true screaming began within the camp of two thousand soldiers.

Alright.

I like the Warden gameplay style.
There’s just something fun about leading a nation with unbreakable morale that’ll throw themselves endlessly at the enemy for you at practically no cost. Sure, if you’re a coward, you play the Wardens of the Caverns with a cultural victory in mind… but playing them as an endless crusad...

Generally speaking, you can tell you’re winning against a crisis, if the crisis in question isn’t breaking through your defenses, raiding your improved tiles, and sieging your cities. Extra points if your armies stay over 80% health after each engagement with them. The rough idea is that as long as you can produce units, as long as you’re only taking damage ...

I had the good fortune of working in a company where brown-nosing wasn’t necessary to get to the top, where working overtime was frowned upon, and the benefits were great.

According to the studies conducted by the Academy, it was something that didn’t exist during the time of the Ancients.

The Ancients took it, changed it, and turned it back against them and then fou...
