I played my first "HILARIOUS" DM game, with many mistakes as I'm used to RM. 2x2, I'm Zeus with a RA teammate versus two Norse (bad idea).
I make it to Mythic but can't pump out mil units fast enough so Norse hit me hard. I lose TC (and everything else), grab 20+ Villis and head for nearby open TC. No good, Norse right behind me. I grab Villis to run but now only 2 left. I had the Villi upgrades so they're fast, actually outrunning the Norse hordes. No open TC's and my 2 Villis are not willing to assault one. Halfway down the edge, I find a spot and pump out Archy, Stbl, house, house, start on Tmpl but Norse find me. Grab my 2 Villis and run behind teammate (across map). Start mil bldgs and houses but again Norse, and my teammate can't hold them off. Grab Villis and run to corner, hide behind trees, Norse must not have scouted this corner (now 10+ mins since I lost TC). Build mil buildings, houses, Tmpl. My teammate thinks quick and builds a wall across my little corner, my Villis won't stop kissing the wall builders feet. Pump out mil and Gold Colossus as fast as possible, but now gold low. Norse hordes at the gates, wall giving away. My teammate had put a side gate (good thinking). Grab Villis and run but Norse also coming from the direction I run in. Villis trampled under the feet of large mooing and bellowing Norse herd.
As my 2 overworked Villis passed on, I swear I heard them exclaim a loud sigh of relief. I think that I must have been running with them, as I felt wasted even though I'm pretty sure I was seated the whole time.
