[quote="Terminator"]I realize that most of you don't care, but I just wanted to take a moment to vent. I have never been so frustrated as I have been recently with my current stable of warriors. On paper, Victor & Maxentius should be awesome. Their stats are great and in the right spots and they are both learning at over 2 skills a turn. Despite that, they are 18-19-1 & 9-8-0 respectively. <sigh> I honestly thought Victor would likely be the best warrior I'd ever have in 81 (thus the name), but thus far has been a complete disappointment. He is only a couple of skills short of having 4 Master ratings. How the heck is he not better than 18-19-1??? Can knack (or lack there of) play that huge a role in a warriors performance? He seems WAY better than Lutherius was, whom I graduated at 18-7-3. In addition, I just lost Hadrian this turn who was a 15-15-6-15-15-6-15 WOS. I thought he might develop into a great warrior one day. I also lost Flaccus to the DA as he was a chronic underachiever who wasn't learning well. I finally lost patience with him and DA'd him despite having 28 FE and being a style needed to complete my round robin. Anyways, sorry to whine and cry. I just needed to vent a bit. I guess I kind of feel better. Now I just hope I can turn this group of talented under-achievers around and get back to my old winning ways! Happy Holidays everybody! Jeff (aka Vanek)[/quote]

If you run anti-offensive, then you are vulnerable to others. Speaking of which, did you see what has heppened to Big Bones Billie since I put some losses on him from my bloodfued.
