My Online Gaming
PostPosted: 02 Nov 2012, 22:16
Hey everyone. I went ahead and tried to play an online game today. I'm glad I did! It was great fun. For my first game in a long time, I didn't do bad (but I didn't play great either). It was a rather chaotic game. My team played 3 vs 4 since one of our own (white colored player) quit after he blocked some of his resources with building sites (how rude!)
There is no way my team would have won if the people we attacked didn't quit. At least I don't think so. They had to have been able to come back. I was so weak until very late in the game and one of the others on my team (aqua colored player) never made an army so it was basically 4 armies vs 1.5 armies. (with me being the .5)
I looked at the map (Same Rocks) before I started the game so I could know how to build my base. I was situated safely behind my allies, but with no iron. I figured that bowmen and lancers would be crushed during the battle right after PT so I decided that I would build a huge farm production before I made weapons. My plan was to reinforce my allies late into the game after the armies had crumbled. However, with my flank exposed (white's side) i knew that I had to train an army. I started too late though. I had only 30 some militia and 15 bowmen by the end of PT!
With aggressive tactics, my one ally that had and army (blue player) and I sneaked into one of our enemies base (red player), provoking him into resignation. My aqua colored ally (remember that he had no army) had only one thing to help: a tower defense. It only consisted of about four towers, but it was enough to scare the enemy into finding another way in: through our exposed flank (white's side). I thought it was over. I couldn't defend myself, but my blue ally sent some pikemen over to help. With a 2 scouts and a few groups of militia, I ambushed the attacker's bowmen and crossbowmen. We barely survived that. Shortly after, another enemy (yellow) sent some militia after my aqua ally, but they couldn't handle my bowmen that I sent to help. Strangely, he quit during the attack. Perhaps he ran out of gold?
That was when I first thought that we could win. It was short lived; however, because a large army attacked my blue ally because he sent his men to my base. He lost his barracks, but it wasn't a big problem because he still had plenty of pikemen, and I finally started reaping the rewards of a huge economy. I easily replaced my fallen militia and bowmen, and was able to protect him until he could build a new barracks.
Soon, the green enemy would quit after losing another fighting battle. After that, me and my ally (aqua quit) defeated our one remaining enemy. it was quite the game. I can't believe that my team won!
