and oh yeah, of course attack and plunder advances us faster. You're making an advantage for yourself at the expense of others.

Imbalance moves the world ... equality slows things down.

One of my favorite RTS gaming strategy's is to steal enemy resources or prevent the enemy from collecting their own (so they can't pay to build an army).
It's like a 4-move checkmate when you just want to get the job done (rather than having hours of fun-filled gameplay).

That said, the Soviet-Finnish war of '39 is the first instance I've seen where an army will target the enemy food kitchens
in an effort to destroy enemy health, morale and encourage disease.

where an army will target the enemy food kitchens

It's just all previous attacks on army supply wagons were not recorded, largely due to absence of video recorders. Each was had its own episodes of attacking an army's food supplies, down to stone age probably.

I like muffins.

 

[Iwateguy]

Found this city while visiting yesterday. Any guesses as to what the player's strategy might be (if any)?

 

[Ati2]

That's the "finish two 24-hour productions" recurring quests to gather lots and lots of FPs in the Bronze age.

 

[Emberguard]

hmm. That actually looks pretty.

But I'm thinking that'd be amazing for daily quests if you wanted to build up a supply of wishing wells and other DC buildings. Just would be horrid for main events later down the track

 

[Ati2]

I would change those huts to Tower of Babel to save even more space for the blacksmiths. (I did... )

 

[Emberguard]

Cool. And if you're age camping that's great. Otherwise not worth getting babel

 

[Ati2]

Cool. And if you're age camping that's great. Otherwise not worth getting babel

My problem with Babel is that it only gives very small amounts of extra people on higher levels.

 

[Emberguard]

yeah. Because it's a low age GB. But if you're in low ages then that shouldn't be a problem. You can only get a limited amount of diamond and medal expansions then anyway

Limited medal expansion? What do you mean? Aren't all of those available in all ages?

 

[DeletedUser111589]

1140 on lv 10
1196 on lv 11

@Emberguard has common misunderstanding. All medal expansions are unlocked for even a bronze player

 

[DeletedUser110179]

Medal expansions are pretty much unlimited (by age) ... but you're still going to struggle with big-medal expansions
(even if you have many Arc's that you can invest in).

I'm facing 105k Medal expansion (after 1 year of play) ... don't know if that's good, bad or ugly.

 

[Emberguard]

you seriously going to have the medals to pay that in lower ages? (and yeah I'm thinking of reward expansions)

 

[Ati2]

I'm planning on unlocking all medal expansions in the Iron Age...

You know, my Chateau experiment... (Which hasn't even started yet, LOL. )

 

[Emberguard]

lol. That would be quite a nice experiment to try

 

[Deep the Fried Potato]

I've seen a few awesome experimental cities around and maybe some of them aren't experimental - they're serious. We should share them here. I don't know how to find the one which was shaped like a snake but I'll share the one like a donut...

Before that though.. can someone tell me if a new open thread has started yet?

 

[Ati2]

I don't think so.

 

[Emberguard]

Can't see one in the thread index

 

[Ati2]

There IS one now: https://forum.en.forgeofempires.com/index.php?threads/week-40-2018-02-05-or-thereabouts.35155/
