True... But if I have 500,000 mice, and you have 100,000 mice, you aren't going to break me with mice being a 2/1. And I could have 500,000 mice on the same land somone has 100,000 if I'm massing mice, and they're not...

Zephyrus, I believe you're applying emotional thinking to a rational formula.

[edit]I could be wrong though. That should go in my sig.

Of course, but the idea was land influences the max amount of mice you can produce and support hence my use of the word land.

If I have 1k land and you have 100k land, no matter how hard I try I will probably not be able to produce as many mice as you (if you're massing). However on rwl, I would only need 1/2 of your rats to break you which is fairly easy to do with far less land than you (though on 1k compared to your 100k it is far less likely).

It is! I love it too ^_^

You have my all time favorie Ringo pic in your avatar. I love his hair and stache there. I bought a big Let It be poster for that pic..but it doesn't ammount to the 6 foot long Abbey Road I have. I should take a pic of my room for you, you'd find it educational ^_^ There's a lot of Elton and stuff in it, though.

I like Elton now... I got some of his CDs. I'd have to say so far I like his 'Saturday Night's All Right' best, but haven't listened to him enough.
Ringo looks a little bit like Che on that avatar pic, doesn't he?

The equation for ballistas assumes that it's ballista vs. ballista. Using squirrels in defence just messes it up a bit, I think. Not sure.
Back. I think.

It says to throw out standard.

You mean ballistas are now only against other ballistas? But wouldn't that overpower them? (or I'm just confused...)

I think it's Ballistas vrs. Ballistas. But maybe I'm wrong...

They weren't at some point?

I don't know, I haven't been following military developments. Disregard what I said then.
