These were fun. Thx for the games ! Those were my first two rated games since buying RoR (dabbled inrated for AOE). Was surprised how easy it was to get a game with my pristine 1600 rating.
Scarab had me squirming with the tower/slinger war. Luckily, had the dock right there on a small inland pond that had several fish spots. But since I kept pumping scout ships to assist in the battle, my wood supply was short. When the battle ended, I had enough wood to build stable and market, and had 2200 food (many ships elsewhere). So upgrades came easy and had plenty off food for numerous cav and more villagers. In saying that, the question is, why didn't I build more villagers in tool !!!
