Just would like to get some feedback on the development of my norse team. I have picked 2 Dirty Players early and find that I'm having a very hard time finding games LOL. Do you think it is too much of a risk for a low TR team to play against this team? hereis the link to my team if you want to look.

hey man. I still think you can get games. After that team totally wrecked my Necrosmantics, I am thinking twice about playing against Norse and letting my Necros play any race. but I'm sure there are plenty of coaches who would play you! Good luck man! I hope you get some games, because my Orcs are looking for a revenge match for my Necros...

You are a little high to play my stunty teams, but retire a player or two, and I'll tear you up!

Well ALOT of coaches here fear DP´s, many won´t play even one DP.
So having two implies that you rely alot on a foul the oppositon off the field tactic, which many coaches don´t like.
The games you will get are most likely against
a) inexperienced coaches.
b) coaches who play everyone, and there are few of these.
c) Teams who are bashers themselves, and probably have 1-2 DP´s.

Nah, I'm a coward...

And actually prefer someone who can play ball instead of wrecking.

And never play vs a DP below 150 TR as a general rule...

DP is a waste of another skill at low TR. Makes you easier to beat!

I would have no problem playing them...with a healthy team.

the only time DP makes me say "no" is if I am already low on players...If I only have 8 guys, I certainly wouldn't accept a game against them. 12+ healthy guys...I would play...no prob

With a nice orc team I'd sure go for that.

And I'd probably play you anyway since you are a really nice coach to play against. Smile

i wouldnt play that team. Taking 2 DP so early to me shows a clear intention just to foul and reduce players. Which can ruin the fun of the game especially for an AG team.

Saying that i dont like DP anyway. I kind of see it as an unnessecary skill (maybe apart from stunties). Bashy teams have the bashing advantage in the first place so why do they need another method of hurting players? It tips the game too far in the bashy teams favour.

The reason why you are struggling to find games is the kind of coach who would play your team has probably just had to restart from scratch again after seeing all his players killed , so hes probably at tr100 again Razz

I would, and I have (vs another 2 DP norse team though). Not with my bashy teams either. And not even vs some noob.

If the casualty ratio was more normal (more BH isntead of SI or RIP) I wouldn't have complained afterwards. If you know what you're doing, you can still deal with 2 DP.

Coaches look for teams they can maximize their SPP with (TDs CAS etc). I have a hard time finding opponents vs my Undead or Orc teams, but post a Woodi or Halfling team, and they get lots of offers.
