After practicing quite a bit with Egypt in these RM games, I've finally managed to beat 1v6 a number of times now, although it's still quite difficult for me--as it often lulls into the iron age, and I'll have to use priests to get rid of hoppers and elephants--I still though it would be a good time to move on up to Hardest.
So, I went for 1v2 against Greek and Persia...
Don't ask why I took a screenie. I'm just like that.
But anyhoo, when I first started it seemed to go quite smooth. I had plenty of fauna, so I was good to go into Tool with just a pit and barracks. I just kept going, and bronzed at about 15-16mins. I had alot of resources and all, so I went ahead starting pumping out chariots and priests like mad. It wasn't long though, before red started to attack me... Most of my chariots were used up eventually! I kept pumping them out, and managed to blot out a bunch of his vils. Then blue attacked, and almost knocked me right off my feet... I managed to throw it back a bit, thanks to camels, but then right after that, red attacked again with an enormous mass of hoppers and STs... I was dying, and then blue pretty much came by and finished it.
Quite nasty, really.
I tried it again in 1v1, trying a tool rush this time, but only ended up dying quicker.
While I assume I could handle a 1v2 on a gigantic map or something of the sort, can any of you do anything on hardest? I find it ridiculously difficult... If you can do farily well, whats the best you can do? Looking at the stats, my enemies bronzed at8 minutes. Frightening...
