I'll be damned if I know...

Bah, whichever!

Que?

Yeah well, rarely does an enemy army not consist of some kind of heavy
melee units...

Yeah well, the alternative is footmen, so I have to rush to Knights. I
can get to Castle pretty fast if I set my mind to it.  :P

And the point is that, with your build, the only sensible thing for me
to do is to go heavy melee. You're getting ranged and casters, if I
get casters as well all we've got for melee is the puny number of
footmen I'll be able to crank out of one barracks. Our front line will
get creamed, and out casters will be left standing around healing
themselves and generally looking very uncomfortable.

>Oh, now you realize how important the towers are, eh? :)

I've never doubted towers to be generally useful, but every time I've
built them, I've been called a total n00b by my allies. (In random
games...).

Yeah well, assuming he is anywhere near the base.

Gah! Training = production, morno. I wasn't talking about upgrades. I
don't get them until my mass production is up and running.

Oh, those...

TP out of battles less.  :P

If you say so.  :P
