to be frank the computer was taking it VERY easy on me since i clearly did not have big enough armada to be worth fighting.
and that led to me just overdoing defences and hilraious wall of towers .) because why have JUST a wall when it can also fire arrows at anything hostilr?
terrible strategies on my end naturaly and yes very predictable slow simmering build of economy with never realy focusing on milita? like i never needed to just plonked down few walls and first few towers and kept expanding on that since the point.
very resource drainy way sure but i did expand over my ally'S territory seemingly completly killing its computational ability to grab sufficient resources and yet simultaniously making him brezerkr demmanding i attack.... which i technicaly abided by building bunch of defnesive towers within enemy base (somehow said enemy did survive that? i dont understand things).
