Well this whole "getting bored" with getting absolutely thrased thing is certainly not going to be the case with me. I have deciede I want to be good at this game and I accept that it will take me some time (particularly because I won't have the chance to play it often)
I read the "do anything to win at any costs" aritcle but I don't really see how it aplies to AoM... there aren't that many cheap tricks in online play..are there?
Thanks a lot for the advice guys. It's encouraging to hear that The1337JC has just played his first few online matches with success (even if he had been stalking the game for a long while).
Anyway, more to the point, yesterday I played my first online match on Midgard as Poseidon against Hades. I lost.. but that was kinda expected.
I went to Classical at like 8 minutes or something which I hear is nowhere near quick enough and I left it FAR too late to start producing military units. He had built a foward base to my side and massed like 40 toxes and even though I managed to squeeze out a few hippokon (which should have been effective) it was too little too late.
I'm pretty sure learning to manage my economy a bit better will come with time and practise. I also think that I underestimated the importance of fishing on such a map.
Can anyone recomend some good rec. games? (for poseidon)
When is it best to start researching food techs?
and does anyone ever build wonders in online games?
Returned to AoM after about 4 years
