Talk:Icehouse strategy

I'm very tempted to trash this entire article (full defense, full offence, and circle of ice all seem basically useless) and start over discussing topics like Diplomacy, Gaining Prisoners, What To Do With a Prisoner (another thing the article simply gets wrong), Fortressing, etc. Any reason not to?

Just do it. If there's something of real value in the main article, integrate it into your own work. Or just put it under a heading like "Basic Strategy" or "Past Thinking" or "Obsolete," if you worry about losing it. --David Artman 13:49, 19 July 2007 (EDT)

Go for it! You're in a much better position than I am to write on the subject. I think this article stood as is for so long simply because nobody who knew better bothered to look it up. - Cerulean 13:59, 19 July 2007 (EDT)

Cool -- thanks. I've revised the basic tips (getting rid of the afformentioned advice on prisoners); I'll look at the strategies section next when I get a chance. If I've not done it by tomorrow, remind me -- 'k? Mneme 14:05, 19 July 2007 (EDT)

TODO: More details on fortressing. Timing (?). Defense vs attacks, actual info on the snowball and the shotgun (though I want to see what people extract from mailing list on that first before playing with it). Other ideas? Mneme 18:17, 19 July 2007 (EDT)
