How do you harass someone after you've lost your castle and provinces? You're dead.

Re: What do you like to do when you're not dead yet?
Not if you still have dominion and clerics, and can keep a steady snatch/pillage going on his provinces.

Re: What do you like to do when you're not dead yet?
Oh I didn't realise you could survive as long as you have dominion. I thought 0 provinces 0 forts would do it.

O provinces does do it.
I'd guess he's talking about raiding enough to always have at least one province, even if you can't hold it. Thus the "steady snatch/pillage going on his provinces."

Re: What do you like to do when you're not dead yet?
Sometimes I would even consider burning the world altogether with me like casting Burden of Time and hiding the caster somewhere among the people in a minor castle.
Well... That seems like a terrorist.
Edit: Oh I see this should be grouped into "ravage the world".

Re: What do you like to do when you're not dead yet?
I think there should be sticky in MP forum section with rules of ingame bahaviour, such as: all the insulting speeches should be adressed to the nation, not to player controling it; never threat a war to player in another game for some actions he made in current game; never give gold, gems or items to another player in one game in order to receive gold, gems or items from him in another game; and finally, if you do not want to play anymore, please respect all other players enough to inform them about it, so they could find a sub, or at least put yourself to AI.
Personaly I never set myself to AI yet - I try to fight until I can do at least minor damage to my opponent(s), when I have noone left to fight I send all my money, gems and items to people who helped me, or to enemies of my enemies, and continue to send money/gems every turn until I lose my last province.

Re: What do you like to do when you're not dead yet?
You remember in Scooby Doo when at the end of every episode the bad guy says, "And I'd have gotten away with it if it wasn't for you pesky kids!". I like to be those pesky kids.
I often play nations with sneaky troops, so I like to be the thorn in the side of whoever has gotten too big for their britches. Even when it looks like the end is nigh, I just might have a few hundred troops sitting 10 provinces away from your conquering army. Kinda like a LOLcat, "I'm behind ur linez! Infiltratin' yer provincez!"
But yes, I would definitely screw with whoever was killing me as much as possible before they finished me off.

A few hundred troops = a light snack to a teleporting SC.

Re: What do you like to do when you're not dead yet?
But a few hundred stealth troops are hard to hit, even with a teleporter.
