There are two basic ways to run an offensive: blitzkrieg and slow, crushing pressure. Blitzkrieg has the advantage of extreme speed and surprise. The disadvantages are lack of supply lines and exhaustion, as the relentless assault cannot be maintained for too long. Pressure has the advantages of steady stream of troops and supplies as well as never giving the enemy time to really regroup. Disadvantages to this method include susceptibility to blitzkrieg-style counter-attacks that bust through the lines and cause mayhem and a longer war that drains the economy and can seriously sap morale. The way for the Euros to climb the chart is to turn their large numerical advantage into slow, crushing, relentless pressure. When the higher ranked empires cannot keep up the pace and go into remission to recharge, there should be enough Euros left to keep the games coming. Just be wary of those Ringwraiths. They seem to have magical endurance spells and never get tired of playing, especially on maso.

Don't worry, we still have 133 other members to compensate this slight drop for the time.

                    
#854  by Veteran Gerakken - 11/25/2003 4:40:11 AM

Um, there are currently only 127 Euros in the empire at the moment, to be exact. I should know. It is my job to know. Are you also dabbling in spells like those Fellowship folks, such as making mirror image or illusionary members?

                      
#855  by Citizen Primus Ordines Aaberg - 11/25/2003 4:44:59 AM

I thinks its the paper work, you know sometimes does form-duplicates gets filed the wrong places

Thanks to the Spymaster i have now gotten my games submitted. We are only 36K behind now

It's been a good day for the European Empire Update thread, we all know it has had its down period (9 days without posts) but seeing its usage increase along with our forum is a real joy.

Go European Alliance!!

Hail the Emperor - for bringing the Empire back to live.

I'm sad to see that we lost 20K overnight

                        
#861  by Citizen _G-Force_ - 11/26/2003 3:13:39 AM

I hate loosing points, isn't 20k a bit much?

#862  by Citizen Primus Ordines Aaberg - 11/26/2003 6:35:42 AM

It probably aging of points from members that hasen't posted the last month.

                        
#863  by Citizen Merilokki - 11/26/2003 4:26:11 PM

Hmm, not me this time. Gotta try to post at least one game per month even though my games aren't those 60k games you keeping bringing in

                    
#864  by Citizen Primus Ordines Aaberg - 11/27/2003 2:05:01 AM

Well....something happend to MWC overnight...they lost 70K and now we're in 4th spot

                        
#865  by Veteran Gerakken - 11/27/2003 2:47:20 AM

Two things are happening: A couple of players moved around between major empires and scores are getting aged across the board. It seems to be happening in increments over a couple of days, but even GROSS, an empire that has neither lost or gained no players recently, got hit with a large penalty that can only be explained by the Metaverse aging and old points getting slightly reduced.

                      
#866  by Citizen Primus Ordines Aaberg - 11/27/2003 3:12:19 AM

Of course - who else than our beloved Spymaster would have the answer.

I thought i felt somebody watching, but you never know - one minute he is here - the next gone again

                        
#867  by Citizen _G-Force_ - 11/27/2003 5:07:39 AM

Right now we are in 4th place with 9093 points ahead of the MWC. It is time to widen the difference between our 2 empires so that we got a buffer of say The Jedi Republic between us.

#868  by Citizen Primus Ordines Aaberg - 11/27/2003 7:44:20 AM

sure why not - lets go

                        
#869  by Citizen Merilokki - 11/27/2003 8:04:49 AM

I'm in it. When do we leave? Now? Excellent idea.

                    
#870  by Citizen villalji - 11/27/2003 8:42:36 AM

All right!
4th now!
Is there a chance of getting 1st? I mean, how many active players do we have?
Anyone nows?
BTW, I´m learning, last night I submitted my firs serious game, 10.6K, aaberg, I need tips to keep going without getting bored...

                    
#871  by Citizen Primus Ordines Aaberg - 11/27/2003 10:41:38 AM

Hi villalji,

I'm still at work, but hopefully only for a 1 hour or 2 more. I will post whatever tips i have on the EU board tonight.

If you are looking for activity report here is a nice link http://www.galciv.com/forum.asp?BID=GF&id=113288#113546 Link (thanks to kasualkid)
But we are actually the empire with the highest number of active players. We will soon rise further up the ranks

Dream on......

Congrats. to my Euro colleagues for the recent good results and metaverse ranking. Special thanks to G-Force for keeping the big idea alive. You will suffer before reaching our target, but this is a necessary step for all ruling entities. We need to learn and acquire the power derived from great suffering - this is what is keeping as in the run, united.

"To those human beings who are of any concern to me I wish suffering, desolation, sickness, ill-treatment, indignities - I wish that they should not remain unfamiliar with profound self-contempt, the torture of self-mistrust, the wretchedness of the vanquished: I have no pity for them, because I wish them the only thing that can prove today whether one is worth anything or not - that one endures."

(The Will to Power, p 481)

"You want, if possible - and there is no more insane "if possible" - to abolish suffering. And we? It really seems that we would rather have it higher and worse than ever. Well-being as you understand it - that is no goal, that seems to us an end, a state that soon makes man ridiculous and contemptible - that makes his destruction desirable. The discipline of suffering, of great suffering - do you not know that only this discipline has created all enhancements of man so far?"

(Beyond Good and Evil, p 225 )

"I do not point to the evil and pain of existence with the finger of reproach, but rather entertain the hope that life may one day become more evil and more full of suffering than it has ever been."

Friedrich Nietzsche
(1844-1900 )
