The 2nd game was a marathon game. I basically sucked up, I went for a yamato scout/slinger rush and while building up the force I got bowmen rush from the opposite direction, to make things worse the person I was rushing scout ship rushed me and took out my fishermen, this added with the fact that the bowmen hit my elephant hunters meant I had 0 food coming in. Well my allies thankfully tribbed me enough food to bronze but then the enemy found me and nocked me down to 8 villagers. At this point in the game I had 8 villagers, all in hostile territory, no resources, almost no non-military buildings and a small outpost where I was going to rush from, I had hurt the enemy I rushed a bit though. I came very close to resigning since my time was limited and I wanted another game, but I decided since my allies were dead without me I'd stick in. Well I ended up hurting two of the enemies in bronze with tributed resources and killing the third enemy in iron, even though I spent 20 minutes in bronze with single digit villagers. Pretty much had I resigned we would of lost. I even ended up with 213 kills and only 113 losses.
Don't resign until your allies tell you to!
