back in the day before atlantis cap you could do some pvp, cap your hcs build them up get your account the way you like it and then take atlantis and some 16s

nowdays its a race to get the 18 and the 16s before other alliances. on 43 it truly sucked as all we did for the first 2 months was plan build and camptime on hcs. got old quick. although once all that was done the fun did start, unfortunately for me i didnt get much done in the way of pvp before i quit, rl got too busy

but for the 18 our main inhibitor for time was resources and reaching lvl 9 barracks in time
on na44 we had some of the same problems ... taking 16s got boring. not enough lvl 9 racks or resources and honestly we overestimated our opponent. At the time atlantis was taken, we were within 6 days of being ready to take it, and had we not taken a lvl 16 a week before, we would have taken it 2 days before potestas (now 314) did. But that is how the game goes. I dont doubt that eventually RL will get too busy for me too and i will have to step down. however the fun has already started to pick up (a little) and we will see where our server ends up.
