ATWAR WEEKLY
Here's Hugo's system that Chrome referred to in his article:
http://atwar-game.com/forum/topic.php?topic_id=11575

A VERY BIG THANKS TO CHROME AND ANDERTES FOR WRITING GREAT STUFF
ENJOY AND GIVE FEEDBACK,

again, so sorry for the delay!

edit: oops, just saw that I wrote take that Meester twice, my bad. oh well, take that Meester!
edit2: Here's the full interview with Clovis, as he wrote many elaborate responses I couldn't fit them all in the article:

"Hey, thanks for the interview.

"However I'd like to know your specific thoughts about PD, and how it counter-acts RA, as that was an argument made to not nerf RA"

I'd say PD had troubles against RA even on it's own niche. The problem back then was that RA had a highly efficient unit which was able to out expand. 90 cost tanks with 9 attack grave the strategy an efficiency compared to GW marines or IMP Infantries, with the plus that tanks also had better defense, more critical and bigger range. PD is good at defending, but couldn't match RA in expansion most of the times.

I'd like to also know your opinions on GW, MoS, and stealth gameplay in general nowadays.

GW is stronger than ever, although I don't think it is so much as some people says. MoS remains the same for quite a long time. As for the stealth game-play I think it is still strong enough but his niche is pretty weak. Among high ranks I don't think it is so useful to have the hidden factor since most of them walls their cities or use sentries. However it seems like the style is not dead at all. There was recently a player called AlphaB who used MoS to beat both me and Mauzer in a whole world game for the Flash Tourney. It was a very surprising game indeed.

After that, I'd like to know your opinions about LB on the default map.

Let me count you my history with the strategy. At the start I couldn't use it but I was very interested to know why it was so discouraged from use. I read in Desu's guide to simply not use it and decide to ask, getting this answer: "Good rolls doesn't equal being good [...]. LB can hit hard but the cost for both short term and long term is too much". I lost the interest for a long time on it. I also missed the famous "golden times" of the strategy back in Mathdinho's times. I recovered the interest after meeting AlexMeza, which had a couple of theories about LB being still strong. If I remember right, he said that 5 infantries and upper can outcome the same number of militias, att vs defense. He also taught me the LB Spain Rush to Rome (which I still consider better than the PD one). After that I've only played LB in some very specific situations.

To sum up, I'd say that LB is still strong in the default map as AlexMeza once said. However LB's niches are very few and very restricted. It can only be played when there is enough crash. The most recent cost nullification made it a bit more playable but it's still a long way until this strategy can be played efficiently in the default map."

If you want,I can make an extra page on this weeky for mk "accidents" this week

Once again, I am looking for people to interview. If you would like to be featured in the next AtWar mag, pm me!

i want to be interwieved as someone who was in a lot of clans and who was in jna

What a fantastic idea. Just a suggestion though- maybe an off topic magazine too? At War has a diverse group of players, some informed others not. The former category- those informed- I think could be great at discussing current events and keeping people up to date. Maybe do a historical event of the week or something, I don't know, just a thought. AGain, love this idea

I like this idea, I just don't know how to incorporate it though..... And we would need good sources....

You could expand on the magazine (or do your weekly magazine but every issue at the beginning of the month has a bunch of extras) and add in varying topics (perhaps do a different topic each week? Current events one week, historical event the next week, economics another, etc. just some ideas).

Agree, I have no idea how long it takes for you all to make a magazine but I think if you get a couple or a few people willing to dedicate some time to write something (I'd be more than happy to ), you might be able to do a special edition once a month. Regardless, myself an d I;m sure many others really like this idea and I'm sure as you all get use to writing this weekly magazine (getting glitches fixed, knowing time management, etc.) you'll be in a better position to expand (should you want too).

That's a great idea! I'd need someone who's willing to write about this though, so PM me if someone does!

If I didn't supply your writers with intel you would have 2 less pages.

Take that Mee... Tact!

I would recomend you to do some sort of tracking of the events happening in the forum and a review of the best posts/comments from that week! It would be simply hilarious, specially on certain weeks XD/

Find an English speaking friend (like me) to look over the grammar... It isn't that much work....

Okey... so... are you willing to be my friend/slave/teacher who corrects my noobish grammar mistakes?
Also, does the mean boss agree with this??
