I don't think he was doing this because it we only start with one
peon/peasant and just above the amount of resources to build a town
hall. I have timed myself it takes atleast 2 minutes to build the town
hall and every upgrade needed for it and you have to have a
castle/Stronghold to get dragons/griffins. What is really funny if he
wasn't cheating is he can kick me and my friends butt but he can't
beat the game and the computer doesn't even think like a human. Well
hoipefully I got a plan that will stomp his ass into the ground.
