CoW Pet Peeves?!?!

Well i don't honour the bro code, no ring is game on. If the dude is not able to keep her then she wasn't ment to be in the first place. Hell, i like a challenge. If a women, says i have a boyfriend it's like waving a red flag in front of a bull.

I have another one:

-Dying players who apply to a coalition in order to get attackers to leave.

I can't tell you how many times I've accepted players into a coalition... only to find out that they're days from destruction. No army, no capital, no resources, seriously, it gets old...

Mine is when people mix fast and slow units. Tanks are powerful, sure, but their main advantage (when you compare their power for cost) is their speed. The faster your stack the fewer times it gets attacker by arty and aircraft; the faster your stack the less time the enemy has to produce units before you conquer their ICs; the faster your stack the harder it is for their defensive units to patch up the holes.

Let me tell you a story: I once player USSR in 25 historical map. I got share map with France, conquered my AI neighbours, and waited for Germany to move so I could slaughter them on my border forts. They spent the first week with their entire army staring at the Maginot line so I got ROW with Poland and sent my armoured cars through to take 70% of his territory then retreat. Germany starts sending me angry messages about how I'm going to die now and starts moving towards me. There's at least one militia in every single German stack, so I get bored before they even reach Poland and just murder them with my superior army. The crazy thing is that I wanted a big fun USSR-Germany showdown so badly that I actually told Germany several times to separate their superior tanks out from the infantry-and they just never did.

My pet peeve is people going inactive- whether leaving game after 2 days without making a move or near the end, when despite doing well, are not one of top three nations ...

Guilty as charged. I've become a lot more conscious of this over the time I've been playing, but sometimes desperate times call for desperate measures. I blatantly refuse to send any armor units without some infantry backing, and when you're playing as China or Mongolia in the '39 historic map, sometimes you just need to swallow your pride...
