a small update if ya need it:
since with tiny factions, I tech up before striking.. here's what happened..
since I tried different things, all of them failed, I went back to boost econ.. since I figured I'd need better troops sooner rather than later..
so I did +80% farm to boost income up to 110/tick, not bad for scotland...
I then built in order...
watchpost + town guard (for militia seargents - decent early def troops)
Spearmen, Armorer, Swordsman, Spear Wkshp (Good troops finally)
So it is 1132, what kept me alive I think was that the Irish attacked Wessex & took it & kept it... so keeping the English on the defensive for the next 25 years (1105 -> ~1130)
The troops I now can get...
Highland Warriors (a lot like Joms Vikings.. a tank!)
Scottish Spearmen (basically your armored spearmen.. DEFENSE)
So you can an offensive weapon (HW @ 105 support) and your defensive weapon (SS @ arm spearmen support cost), so with 108/tick.. you have choices to make.. Offense or Defense..:P
The army will be small, but definately capable in a fight![]()
So I hope this little tidbit helps: I know I am really taking a risk by teching up and depending on folks not hitting me, but for the game I had, it should give ya some ideas...:)
Good luck with your games
