Agreed. Early harassment can delay both the enemy and us (if our harassment 
is like err ... chicken shit?). We either harass to be successfully delay 
the enemy or we don't harass and take chances.

You should be stacking up gold while teching. Donate the gold to me first 
(at least I can get Statues or something) and when your castle is almost 
complete, I'll donate it back. Keeping the gold with you won't earn you 
interest.

Of course, I'll do the same whenever if I have extra resources. It's a team 
game and we need to play like a team.

This week lets try to our skills on the use of the transporter :)

You'll get the hang of it,... eventually :p

Hey, so far my so called Jedi powers had never failed before. Whenever I say 
they tech, they tech! :p

Of course at times, it gets confused and can't really decide which units to 
build but most importantly this is a game of skills.

There is no skills whatsoever in just building one kind of units and expect 
to win, right? So, if possible get a mixture of this and that to make the 
army strong.

I know and I'm not blaming you for that as I do that all the time. :P
(Hence the question of whether we can specify our TP 'landing' area.)

If you do that I'd complaint (I think I already did many times :p) of your 
building position <g>

That sucks then. Should've just walked to your base and you not attacking 
the army until the calvary arrives. Please, never attack 2 armies alone 
unless your troops are of equal numbers. This is not like Rambo whereby one 
lone person can conquer Russia on his own!
