I agree. They taught me a lesson.

Are mercenary swordsmen as strong as Skiritai Commandos? I think metal is more significant than other resources, because it is harder to procure. Therefore when counting 'total resources', we should take a weighted total instead of summing them up directly, and the weight of each resource should be dependent on map. However, I do agree with you that mercenary units are significantly more cost effective than citizen units if you have enough metal.

In my opinion, the Skiritai Commandos of the Spartans are the 'best' units, for the following reasons: They do not cost ridiculous amounts of resources like elephants so that you are always able to afford quite a few of them. They are significantly stronger in attack than other citizen-infantry and have more health than them. On top of that, they are able to work for your economic boom between battles, unlike the mercenary units. They walk as fast as archers and are more durable than pikemen. If you have a large number (more than 40) of Skiritai Commandos, you can use them as siege weapons. They are quite resistant to arrows from fortresses or towers. They do not need special buildings or expensive technology to unlock and train. You can mass produce them from barracks. In a unit vs unit battle, they will certainly lose to champion units and hero units. However, considering the cost-effectiveness, they are excellent.

Hi, I am not sure what I did wrong but for some reason my ratings and statistics have been obscured. It has been like this since I logged on today. Is it a bug or is it an issue with my computer?

Oops, sorry about that. I will move the files to the section created by KKaslana.

Another brutal yet spectacular 1v1 with Trashy, unrated this time: elena vs trashy.zip

Hi everyone! I would like to share some of my replays! These are some rated 1v1 games that I played in the past few days, and I think some of them were really interesting and they taught me a few key lessons. Hopefully you will enjoy them as well! :)) Elena's 1v1s.zip By the way, I would like to try my hands on a few 4v4 team games next. Looking forward to playing with more people! Also many thanks to the developers for creating such an excellent game for free!
