    It applies to everything. There is not a finite amount of things to know about anything. At least, so say the epistemologists.
    There is a finite amount of things to know about evony. Or almost any computer program for that matter. It is a written code. It begins and it ends.

    I know the saying, the specific way in which you worded it leaves room for an argument to be made that it is a different message. Specifically in your use of the word "most". But im not going to sit here and argue semantics. It does not apply. Battle mechanics are limited. Game mechanics are limited.

    You confine it to the mechanics and not the strategy of the game which has lots of room for ignorance.

    sure. I was clumsy with wording. that I agree!

    There is a lot of room for ignorance in pacman too. But that doesnt mean you can't learn it all. Strategy is limited in that the game is limited. There are only so many things you can do. Are there a lot of possible scenarios? Yes. But they are limited. If you attack me it can only play out a certain number of ways.

    Just like chess. There are millions of possible move combinations, but they can all be learned. We'll ignore account building because thats even more limited.

    Equate unit types with chess pieces, its a simplified comparison of course. Each troop has specific mechanics, very limited by themselves. Any one chess piece can only perform certain moves, some pieces more versatile than others. Putting movesets together requires no more game knowledge than making a single move.
    Strategy is not knowing the game. Knowing the moves certain pieces can make is knowing the game. On any given turn you can only perform a certan set of moves. A beginner doesn't really know any less about the game than a chess champion. Strategy is a matter of knowing how to use the mechanics of the game to your advantage. It's about applying pressure.

    Just as in evony. It's not hard to know the game. It is VERY limited. What makes good players better than bad ones is generally not a matter of game knowledge. It's a matter of stress and pressure. Im known for being a pretty good player, but I dont know anything that other people dont. I defend well because I dont panic. I dont rush, I accept that I will lose some stuff. I'm good at attacking because I make people panic, I make them rush. I apply pressure using the average players fear of losing something they spent time and money on. People who dont care about evony are generally better fighters. It very rarely has to do with game knowledge.

    I feel like I went off on a tangent, but it's hard to keep a single idea at 3 am typing on a crappy phone. Tl;dr -the game itself is limited, how you use the game to get inside someones head is the strategic part.

    i agree, Particularly the part i bolded. Ive seen players with zero mechanics knowledge tear players with some skill apart, Because they simply dont care if they lose troops, and will just bomb troops till the enemy makes a mistake. While its not my style cant complain if it works can i.

    Remaining cool under attack is one of the hardest things to learn, I still stuff up from time to time.

    I was merely implying that he used to be rather jovial and decent to talk to.
