Magic...so Bash on Josey Wales saying he isn't that good is "FOOLISH" ima set the record straight
i Have talked to Josey at Length a few times...he is a "super Nice Guy"(Other Experts should take notes on his Character) not only that be he will give u "Helpful Tips" if you "Ask him"...not many even bother to even talk to you like Josey does
Did i mention Josey can "Play ALL CIVS"..and not Just Isis or Oranos or Kronos?...he has beat top 10 competition with Gaia and Set for crying out Loud...the man is on Top of the Triple Random league...it proves for itself that he is the "Best All Around Player" in AOM..bottom line...the record does not lie...if he Played Exclusivly Isis or Kronos...he would prlly be number 1 right now...but he would rather play "All" the civs...this is the reasons he can adapt to his opponents regardless of the civ he plays lets look at your list
PG_Fire-RA FH guy, SET FH GUY, good Poseidon Player
Salska-Norse Player mostly...now is playing Kronos and Isis
im not gonna get into the others except Hope
I will give Hope Credit Hope is "Good" he can also play "All Civs" Sucessfuly...which makes him right up there with Josey just because of his "Versatility" but to say Shiatuaz, and Halens, and such are better players is absurd
Look who those guys got to the Top with?...OP SET...they couldn't get their with any other Civ...when Josey was in the Top 20 with Greek/norse i say that shows he is alot "better" overall then the people u mentioned...Same with Hope...he was top 20 with greek and Norse in regualr AOM...he is very good as well
But don't even try to bash Josey...you have no idea how good he is...play against him soemtime...u pick your "Fav Civ" and he will go Random civ and i bet he still "beats" you that my friend is Skill...
