10 things to consider...
1) I speak for myself and I give only my opinion. I am not denying that there are other points of view on this matter and I am not discrediting their validity. I think you are too used to your usual propaganda attack/defense that you didn't even notice that none of those comments were directed at you, I was just giving my point of view.
2) Depending on the style you play, you may depend heavily on having precision timing. In this scenario, you might have a target strike time that your aiming for on a city takeover and you miss it the first launch. The initial attack having LS, I don't find it so suicidal to recall your attack and relaunch it later on without LS as long as you aim after LS clearing. That is if you feel like you will absolutely need the attack to clear a stacked ground defense. And especially for Catapults too, if you need to get the wall down.
3) Compared to launching a CS as the initial attack without a revolt in place, I cannot imagine a scenario where that would ever be to any sort of an advantage. I would recall it without a doubt. In comparison, it is the dumber of the two scenarios. bcae your scenario is less likely as well.
3) Yes the cost of resources difference between these two is enormous when you compare the resources used to build the CS (w/o the cost of mandatory LS, Transports and Troops required to even be allowed to launch a CS) versus the cost of a failed unescorted attack. Anything can look good if you chop it up, repackage it, and have pretty dancers sell it for you.
4) Let’s try and avoid patronizing. Stop with the "top members" mumbo jumbo, everyone has the same capacity to be a great player. It just requires time and effort. If you're fishing for a compliment or validation of your own skills then
YOU ARE A GREAT PLAYER MURTIUS BUT YOUR JEDI SKILLS ARE WEAK haha, more people than you think see through your propaganda.
5) Why are you concerned with and speaking for "Evo senior members" when you are not in Evolution?
6) Alpha members are honorable and dignified. I am the exception to the rule. It might explain why I make people uneasy. I like riling people up and getting under their skin. And I know I get under your skin old friend despite your future claim to the contrary that is immediately going to follow this post. In any case, the majority won’t come out here and start slinging mud to appease their leadership like Evo or wait Cosa Nostra requires. The ones that do come and post here come only to give a noble opinion.
7) Quit trying to use your BS political tricks on an honorable warrior like Aksak. That trick is old and would never work on a player like him. I guess you wouldn’t understand since you don’t concern yourself with things such as honor.
8) Now valheru, that guy’s a beast. I think he would find a good fit on the good guy’s side. What do you say val? There are all sorts of gorgeous women and the best of the best beer available on the good guys side. It’sa 24 hour party! Consider it
9) If you leave the forum Murt, who will I have these verbal jousts with bodnapa? bcae? TGI? I will chop them up, slice and dice, and serve them up as tomorrow’s sushi. My words cut deep man, I have to carry a license in certain countries. Please dig up bli zankity, he used to rap…
10) What’s up with the whole Evo/CN thing? Did you get kicked out for being a donkey? Did that embarrassing scandal involving you, W*Arms, bcae, bodnapa, TGI and an industrial sized tub of Vaseline finally get out? Jeez man, I understand if you want to deny it. Back to the subject, maybe it’s that you’ve found another dumb alliance to be your Maelstrom or MHA or TS or TAU or TA? I’m sure I left a whole bunch out but you get the picture. You promise them the world and send them in as kamikazes… I hope they don’t fall for it.
In conclusion, quit being a diva bro, let’s have a healthy debate. I joked towards bodnapa because he’s asking for it. Just like W*Arms did. TGI is next but I’m going to let him warm up a bit before I put a knot on his head. My point on the matter is clear, I agree with the thread that the attack that is being referenced in this thread is a strong candidate for dumbest attack.
