Should you leave the upgrades (for medium spearmen and slingers) at the Barracks untill you have completely filled your pop limit?
I know a lot of people who say that it is more important to get more troops than to get these upgrades but if you are creating LOADS of troops but they are fighting and dieing continuosly then it will take ages to max out on pop by which time I may have created over 100 spears/slingers, so getting the upgrade would have been worthwhile because it would have made them all stronger...
On that note, I have noticed, when looking at post-match statistics, that often create far more military units than my opponent but they kill far more of my units than I do of theirs, even when I win. I think this is due to poor micro (because I am constantly concentrating on economy and all sorts as well as battles) and also because my untis tend to get hurt a lot by towers which makes them really easy for the enemy units to clean up. Should I possibly be holding my units back from battle more untill I know that I can definately win, or are the increased casualties part of simply being more aggresive?
Thanks in advanced,
