FINAL THOUGHTS

We should not have capped it. The Atlantis player was part of a coalition that held governor. I can only speculate that complacency let everyone to believe the bot would handle things, even with the comfort change that had been introduced and exploited leading up to the assault.

Where was the rest of the Alliance? Ignoring war reports. They didn't do anything until Loyalty 2, and the first thing should have been to call for a governor raise (the governor was apparently out drinking but I'm sure some folk had the logs). What about besiege, ambush and anything to send capping waves home?

Why did the bot not Speech text? Perhaps the failure was in the scripting of the bot itself. Does the bot have the ability to speech text?

Why did the Atlantis Player not Reinforce more heavily? Perhaps the beating he took earlier made him gun shy, but had the forces in the support city been in 0,0 we would not have cleared the city in time. We did not have enough firepower to get to the rams fast enough. Too many people were sacked out.

Its really an example of a dedicated, focused and deliberate team that took Atlantis down. It did not take us one day to take Atlantis...it took us eleven months (and a few long needed adjustments from the Evony developers). From the time the coalition lines were drawn, BOB attacked 0,0 twice then merged with PHNX because they were most in keeping with our style of play and because BQ ran a stable and tight ship (with people we wanted to game with) that would allow ALL of us together to seek and grasp the Brass Ring - and have a hell of a ride along the way.
