I've lurked around on this forum for the past couple of weeks, and I'll say one thing, its made me realize how bad I am. Seriously though, I don't play on the Zone much, but I do play quite a bit of multiplayer with my friends. I've like the Sumerians, Macedonians, and Romans, and on High resources ( + Reveal Map ) I bronze in about 10 minutes. But, I always wind up attacking in early iron. When I try a bronze attack, I always fail. If I hold of to early iron, I usually try a mixed assualt ( Phalanx / Long Swordsman + Ballista / Heleopli + Cats / Heavy Cats ) and do fairly well. Am I doing something wrong? Everyone here seems to disdain an iron attack, but I seem to like it, and it works for me. ( I wall and tower HEAVILY until then. ) Also, I'd like to try some new civs. I like having some extra resources, therefore Macedonia isn't helping much. Thanks, and I hope your advice can help me become a better player. Kurt
