Hey list. I just downloaded Sound RTS yesterday, and boy is it cool. I've got the hang of the mechanics, now I have to get the strategy. I think what my best option will be is something like this:
--First, start off by recruiting peasants and mining gold. I like to get some gold first, as wood is easier and takes less time. --Build a farm to accommodate the new soldiers I will soon have. --If I get lucky, build a sawmill where the woods are, taking even less time for wood production. --Build a barracks. --Begin recruiting archers, all the while still exploiting gold and chopping wood. --Build up a strike force of 6-7 archers. --Upgrade town hall to keep. --Build one, possibly two, more farms. --Immediately begin work on stable once Keep is complete. --Recruit a force of five knights. --Finally, begin recruiting footman--my number is ten. --Once your force has been mustered, then it can be time to think about acquiring upgrades and getting some of the more powerful units (like dragons.) The reason I recruit archers and knights first is that I want to have a strong and easy way to make sure the enemy doesn't come near my territory. Often, the passive computer will enter my territory with knights. Now, in my experience, it's best to have your own knights, as well as some footmen or archers to hold them off so they can be slaughtered. Once my entire force is complete, I can go after the enemy in full. What do you guys think of such a strategy? Kelby Doomed Dragon It is quite easy for me to think of a God of love mainly because I grew up in a family where love was central and where lovely relationships were ever present. It is quite easy for me to think of the universe as basically friendly mainly because of my uplifting hereditary and environmental circumstances. It is quite easy for me to lean more toward optimism than pessimism about human nature mainly because of my childhood experiences. It is impossible to get at the roots of one's religious attitudes without taking in account the psychological and historical factors that play upon the individual. --Martin Luther King, Jr. If the people who started wars didn't make them sacred, who would be foolish enough to fight? --Rhett Butler True or false, that which is said of men often occupies as important a place in their lives, and above all in their destinies, as that which they do. --Victor Hugo It is not true that the saints and the great contemplatives never loved created things, and had no understanding or appreciation of the world, with its sights and sounds and the people living in it. They loved everything and everyone. --Thomas Merton --- Get FREE High Speed Internet from USFamily.Net! -- http://www.usfamily.net/mkt-freepromo.html --- --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] You can make changes or update your subscription via the web, at http://audyssey.org/mailman/listinfo/gamers_audyssey.org.
