I played my first Forum Party 2vs2 game and didn't really know what I was doing and am wondering how other people play when they don't know their teammate?
I played with three much higher rated players and was given benefit of highest ranker as ally and a slight handicap. My score was top almost the whole time and managed to start raiding early. My ally dropped and look out. One huge army descended on me with eclipse and ancestors. Beat that off. Then came meteor and two big armies. Beat that off. Then they just kept coming and after about ten minutes of getting whooped I resigned.
I took the approach of attacking my closest enemy and assisting my ally when they called for help. What other ways do people play?
