I have an idea. Let's do a kickstarter to hire TheSponge a personal caster who would cast every single game of his. It seems to be desperately needed.

Now he's proposing games he lost, so that's an improvement :P

Watching that cast makes me wonder how I could possibly have lost that. I had some big advantages a lot of the time and never used them. I didn't actually mean to torch my own base, but the planes were on fire at will. Great cast!

My line of thinking after I noticed that he only bombed my units was to take the beating and contain him in his base because I wanted him to make too many planes, and and if he started bombing my base, then I was going to spam AA using my metal and reclaim leverage making so much as to make his planes useless.
And yeah, if he was more active with killing my base it could have turned out differently.

Self burning by phoenixes at fire at will was a nice though somewhat anticipated surprise.
