O_Captain,
This is a forum, and a place to throw out ideas. However, there are some around here that have a vast amount of experience and knowledge of this addictive game.
It is an honor to have some of those players respond to your posts, though they may not be in agreement with your statements. Listen to what they say, you can or cannot agree w/ what they say, though 9 out of 10 times they will be right.
Now, to try to out logic them is plain silly. This isn't for the most part a place to dominate and start up wars though I have on occasion done so. However, my arguements had sound principles, which differs from your statement that people don't make CA's in iron.
First of all, people do in fact make CA's in iron for priest killers. Second, the upgrade for CA's, the wheel, does not impact only CA's. The wheel besides the economic gain (that in itself makes it one of the top three must get upgrades) does allow one to create an iron unit, the scythe chariot.
Please do us all a favor and think about what you are saying versus reacting to someone said I'm wrong, but I'm right. I mean no disrepect, just realize there are those out there that are more knowledgable, wiser, and better, and you will become more like them if you learn from them versus complete w/ them.
Why do you think the experts are willing to share their secrets? So that they can have more challenging games, if they don't tell us, we wont figure it out. LOL.
Oh wait that's what YOU said.
Hey look buddy relax. Oh no I'm not a good player i suck i should be gagged and never allowed to talk on the fourm. Did i not thank you guys for the Input? Also didn't i admmit to their side of the arguement.
"An honor to have experts post to the fourms". I had a friend of mine say he saw some stuff on the web about interviews of Starcraft players. He said that was just sad and wondered if these ppl had a life. He laughed that they were looked on as "sports heros" or something. It is sad! and i've done it myself! Good land it's just a dang game. we discuss it. Some stuff works for our playing styles. Carth works for mine i guess and i'm explaining how it works for me. Whatever. maybe i am wrong. who cares? tell me then! don't philosocize (spelling?) me about this. I probably wouldn't say all this since i did see an apology in another reply, but you did it again to elijah. seesh. relax buddy. and you seem cocky in your intentions.
Anyway, i have seen ppl use CAs in iron. Mainly ppl worried about gold. But hey, i've used Slingers in iron! those can be fun w/ tower shield and siegecraft. I ran out of gold as minoa and started using them. Though i honestly haven't seen ppl use camels in iron. Lust i do understand where you're coming from w/ having "money well spent" Cause i don't like to put a big investment in if i'm not going to use it. But the range upgrades and archer armor carry over to the EAs and HAs. I think they are fun. Maybe just an infatuation. They're cool looking! half naked! jk like short swordsmen. have you seen those guys swing? their sword is bigger than them and it looks like it stretches out. Prob just me but... oh well.
