Oh loosen up some, both of you…
I have not sneered at anything Martok (I don’t sneer that way, that was nothing, rest assured), I was simply pointing out that sticking to Buddhism is obviously a viable alternative as well. The monk-example is/was some simple basis for that alternative (for those of you who are curious; I decided to put my own example to the test; no upgrades, default values all over, 1 monk-formation vs. 3 musket-formations, 5 battles, open field, overcast and fine weather all the time – I won all 5 battles on expert level. I even tried an additional zero-honor battle as well and still I won regardless – hence monks don’t need any upgrades to pull it off. I’ve done it, so can everybody else. So, 1 monk can obviously beat 3 muskets, regardless of any upgrades. Thus the basis for the monks is real alright - it’s pretty much a matter of fact if we apply some decent tactics. If we try it the other way around the AI simply retreats as far as I can tell). We have so far have had a pretty heavy focus on Christianity and much detail about it (which is great BTW), much thanks to you two, how about we examine the other option as well, drawbacks and advantages etc., shall we? Broaden the perspective a bit? After all, people can choose either way, so why not?
And Caravel, kindly leave me and my supposed capacities to play the game out of your analysis and this thread from now on.
