I played a game of Isis vs. isis (oasais map) last night and made a nice little classical army and tried to rush my opponents base. However, I couldn't attack any vilagers without getting slaughtered by towers (there were no vilagers gathering outside the range of his towers).
In such a situation what is the best thing to do? Should I go ahead and attack the villies and retreat, attack the tower and suffer loses but know that I can destroy his economy when it is down, attack other buildings e.g. houses (not that that was a possibility in this game either) or simply wait with my army outside his base untill such times as there is an oppertunity to attack (either he tries to come outside with his villies or I have seige weapons)?
I was also wondering what are generally good tactics for raiding? How many troops are optimum for a raiding party? (a few spearmen get killed pretty quickly but a larger army takes longer to train). Should I attack at two different points? When is it best to pull the troops out?
Thanks in advanced,
