@You3, I don't know if that was a joke, but omg you made me laugh!
He's not a developer, btw, but Triumph should ping him for thoughts on balancing the game.
Jomungur was the top ranked AoW1 player, very few people came close. There were a few very very good players back then who have all vanished, like Jesta, Silverleaf, Der_Waggs (I played my first multiplayer game ever against him, damned near won as well!), Mikail...
He also did a guide for Aow2 when that came out, which is still well worth reading.
Take an old, dirty, hungry, mangy, sick and wet dog and feed him and wash him and nurse him back to health, and he will never turn on you and bite you.
This is how man and dog differ.
