It is broken. The players riding the luck wave at the moment might not see the problem but as we know the luck wave breaks at some point.

And what does that mean to us common folk?

I think it is the translation of PaulMcNeil's cryptic statement.

Indeed so. Great tournament. Thanks to my opponents.

The traditional devoncop place in the middle of Division B in splendid mediocrity has once again been reserved needless to say for next season :D

I wish I could voluntarily be demoted to Division B so I don't have to keep ending up in the bottom third of the table.

I could give you strategy tips....

Believe me you would get demoted very quickly 😉

I managed to be one off the relegation zone in all 3 Divisions. I'm bad but just not bad enough

Outstanding as always Pete! to you and RBS and all the gang....i think my money spend on the FOG series is the cheapest entertainment and most rewarding of anything i've ever done....i don't dare even calculate how many hours i've put into this rewarding experience. there is always something new to be learned, a new army, a new strategy, a new gambit. GREAT FUN!

I agree completely with klay. Kudos to Pete and RBS and Slitherine for my favorite challenging and historical online game. Looking forward to next season.

According to Steam, I am approaching 1200 hours...damn cheap entertainment!

Cheers to all for another great season...and another wooden spoon I think.

Yes, that would definitely work for a Themed Event in the future. :wink:
Pete it appears that the future is here with the Wolves at the Gates DLC! :D

Although I didn't catch the release date, it may be a bit late for season 5.

Will the Wolves at the Gate armies be included in Early Middle Ages?

I am consulting with Anders (hidde) and Ian (ianiow) at the moment about this. The difficulty is that the release date of the new DLC is a secret and we won't know it until it is announced by Slitherine on the forum. Also with the DLC is the option to choose historical allies with your army choices for the first time. There are at least three ways that we can go at this awkward situation (from a timing point of view, I mean), and as soon as I have heard from Anders and Ian I will post again.

We are also going to be trialling the use of larger 1600 pt armies in one of the sections following a poll we did towards the end of last season.
