There was no mistake in attacking LLJK, we were winning that war comprehensively, there was only one very minor set-back which was losing a Remnant army to them - leaving their army crippled, barely more than 100 men. In every other arena we have out-maneuvered, out-fought and out-thought LLJK. We had destroyed their armies, raided their trade caravans, raided their city, taken a village from them and were capable of taking more. This war was ours for the taking and we had the resources to do so. PhantomZero knew this, which is why he agreed to our terms when we approached him before the battles; Slim Vs Auphilia and myself Vs Shariz - Notice that we won both via LLJK retreating without a fight.
I am going to stop reading the strategus forum after this post and this is my final word on this matter: The Shogunate had defeated LLJK, anyone who disagrees is misinformed of the situation. There were no "Superior Goon Tactics" and they were not "unbeatable". We proved this.
LLJK were good opponents, but opponents whom we have bested. I leave strat with the best war record of any Ninja to date, knowing that if it were not for the demands on my health that strat requires, all would see that I and the Shogunate were victorious.
Thank you again to everyone who made this possible, it was a pleasure (relatively) to play with you and I do hope that we will all keep in touch.
As I've said many times before I fully respect The Ninja with its accomplishments and staying true to their convictions.
I can understand why you quit and I am sincere when I say I hope the best for your health, but I dislike this gloating "I'm better than you" attitude you're giving off so let me treat you with a reflection of the behavior you're exhibiting.
Let me know when you unlock the Steam Strategus Achievement "Single-handily disbands a faction" and then you can step into my shadow. That shadow will be hard to see at first, because I'm the best ninja and even my shadow is hidden.
