Yes I have to agree that some people never learn or make any progress. Some so called veterans were lucky enough to start in a good/strong alliance and didn't have to do much to win. They consider themselves good players but all they had was not skill but a good team or bad enemy ;) GROMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15960171048611605602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3502335933802407081.post-61412032186455844122013-03-18T03:05:59.095+00:002013-03-18T03:05:59.095+00:00im also glad they dont post your ideas in their fo...im also glad they dont post your ideas in their forums, those that really want to learn seek out and read sites like this. very informative and i found everything easy to understand. maybe some are reading advanced tactics before knowing much about the game. iv been playing about 8 mos. and spent more time reading before playing at first.<br /><br />some people are noobs longer than others, depends how seriously they play. i know some 2 yr vets you might consider noobs :]<br /><br /> thanks alot, keep up the good work please!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3502335933802407081.post-2388374293205245792013-02-16T01:04:56.258+00:002013-02-16T01:04:56.258+00:00Now, if only i can find a way to counter this...Now, if only i can find a way to counter this...Zero chancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07214395630677664820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3502335933802407081.post-62917610517173081752013-01-31T15:20:08.735+00:002013-01-31T15:20:08.735+00:00Great work...

I...Thank you for this supportive and nice feedback.<br />Ive just quickly read it again and I make many typos or my sentences could be better but honestly dont have time to spend on fixing every guide. Therefore Im happy that you still enjoy to read them and find them helpful. <br />As you said, guides are not recipes and can only "guide" people, equip them with knowledge and show how to address common problems, cope with different challenges. Basically I believe that to become a better player, one need to understand the game and its mechanics, so I always try to provide logic explanation for everything I suggest. Im glad to hear that somehow I managed to do that.GROMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15960171048611605602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3502335933802407081.post-38832114416657397272012-08-05T10:59:13.970+01:002012-08-05T10:59:13.970+01:00Thanks for nice commentThanks for nice commentGROMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15960171048611605602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3502335933802407081.post-8084283562604297532012-08-05T04:34:25.053+01:002012-08-05T04:34:25.053+01:00Excellent work and thanks so much.

And I ...Great guide, long or not, I don't care. And I actually thought it wasn't all that long. Also, fantastic English. Before I read the post that said English was not your first language, I had thought you were a born speaker. I personally don't mind your guide not being on the forums on Grepolis, because it being out here makes it so that only those really wanting more advanced tactics and searching for them will find it. But I can see why it irritates you that the mods will not let you post on the forum, and delete your posts without reason. And I'm sure if I put the effort into a guide like this, I would want it known more, and posted on the Grepolis foums.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3502335933802407081.post-473596929665291582012-05-20T21:14:37.124+01:002012-05-20T21:14:37.124+01:00..and sorry, I didn't mean to sound defensive......and sorry, I didn't mean to sound defensive.

I replied to them that at the time when the idea came to my mind and later when I was testing it, I didn't know about anyone else using this tactic. Nobody told me about it, not even mentioned the "tea time" thing. So basically I did discover it myself.<br /><br />I don't claim to be the only one who discover it. I don't say I was the first one, although I had to be one of the first cus I used it 1.5 years ago on Delta. It is very likely that somebody before me and many after came up with the same idea but the fact stays - I did discover and developed it alone. So this is what I can say about "taking credit for it". <br /><br />I share it with all of you but apparently it is something that active players wanted to stay secret. If you don't know, many of the most active and knowledgeable players become Mods on grepo forum. I will not build here a conspiracy theory but all my posts trying to direct people to this guide were deleted many times, even recently...While they were deleted, the mod who did that didn't contact me saying I did anything wrong, nobody explained me why they were deleted and which rules were broken. I was only flamed by the other mod and our posts were again deleted.<br /><br /><br />The only trace of this tactic on the public forum you can find here:<br />http://forum.en.grepolis.com/showthread.php?26082-Battle-strategy&p=582920#post582920<br />posts no #33 "Correct...although...although don't go telling everybody"<br /><br />As I said, I wont go further with any "conspiracy" ideas, but mods controlling information on the forum and being active players is an obvious conflict of interests, isn't it? <br />PS after many weeks/months I keep trying to post my guides on the grepo forum - the first mod took it off, then got banned, new ones don't really reply to my messages. Ive been waiting for 2 weeks now for any answer since the old mod was banned. All I got was: I will look at it...GROMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15960171048611605602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3502335933802407081.post-86984781387993623222012-05-20T17:53:19.911+01:002012-05-20T17:53:19.911+01:00Grom you are crystal clear to me and your articles...Grom you are crystal clear to me and your articles, as well as being informative are also interesting to read.<br /><br />Strangely enough I executed a GROM Manoeuvre myself the other day before I read your article but out of respect for you that is the name I shall now use to describe it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3502335933802407081.post-27814638981541067582012-05-17T00:00:23.752+01:002012-05-17T00:00:23.752+01:00Your comment sounds more like a complaint than a c...Your comment sounds more like a complaint than a constructive feedback but thank you anyway. <br /><br />To answer it I can only say that I always try but English is not my first language and its hard for me to make my guides shorter. I need long sentences to communicate everything that is on my mind. <br /><br />Ive just read this guide again and even though there are some parts I could correct, in general I would not change much. I don't think I repeat myself anywhere and things are explained to the point where no question need to be asked - that is my goal. There are way to many guides out there not explaining things at all, just throwing some random numbers and ideas without any logic backup (explanations). I believe authors of those guides have no clue why they propose those things.<br /><br />Anyway, if you are referring here to my guide about "attacking", I was actually thinking about rewriting it as it was one of my first guides I ever did and I agree it might be to long and not straight to the point.<br /><br />After all I only try to provide some quality information to people who seek for more. If my guides can help them I'm happy and I hope the knowledge they can gain by reading them will outweigh my imperfect style.GROMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15960171048611605602noreply@blogger.com
