Oh man, I guess my sarcastic sense of humor doesn't come across so well in text, that quote was from a movie and ive always wanted to use it and that seemed like the perfect time, it was only meant as a joke. You know Ive always been very supportive of everything you've done for the game and how much I love the Grog Toolbar.Neither, just covering my ass. Seemed like the diplomatic solution at the time since things were getting somewhat unfriendly and I felt it was a neutral route to take to comply with a request without taking sides. Did it work?Is that a dare or a double dare?And there 'ain't no way' anyone is going to beat one of my scenarios with a one click formation move, regardless of the formations design.
I still don't necessarily agree with putting this formation in the game, but having seen it now, I don't think its that bad. In my mind I envisioned it was going to be a one button fortress formation. The fortress is a formation I created awhile back and what Mike was describing sounded very similar. The fortress is a broken formation because the AI has no idea what to do against it and invariably will just walk or gallop up to it and get itself slaughtered. Your formation is different, but not to different. All it will really do is make creating the fortress a lot faster. And as long as its there Il be happy to abuse it.
I wasn't trying to be unfriendly and I don't think Mike was either. I may not agree with everything as far as his point of view on the game goes. But I don't question his love of the game and I thought we were just two wargamers discussing our different points of view. I never meant any of it as a personal attack and I hope he knows that. I certainly never took anything he said personally, just as a difference of opinion.
