I recently finished last in this game: *
I played Giza with Rhodos left and Hali right, it's tough for me to choose a tactic, as I have seen many times a blue-focused play would lose easily against two neighbors who just need minimal military cards. There was a hope that Hali would focus on science so that I could earn battle points against him. However in front of me is Babylon threatening to play science, so Hali opted to play half red half green in the 1st and 2nd ages.
That's the reason I snapped red cards at age 2, looking to get 8 battle points against Hali. What happened next was legendary, I ended up being the war champion.
(Post-mortem: Should I have taken two blue cards instead, they will count 9 VPs and with -2 for the losing against Hali at ages 2 and 3, it would be only 7 and also helping Hali. So I still think that was the reasonable choice at that time, do you have other ideas in playing that position?)
What bothered me was the behaviour of my opponent, *, who played Rhodos and his tactic was aso ruined by my military choice, although his result is still better than me. Right after the game, * blamed me that my play in the 2nd age was a suicide, and he said I'm a toxic player, should be banned from Arena. Well, if I played following what he expected me to play, then that's not the game. I don't know if he understands that he should respect other players' choice in the game, even if they play incorrectly.
I saw some players being muted for chat during the game, should I also report this case to mute this guy?
