Hello all
I bought the definitive edition and after knocking some rust off I am back to playing some multiplayer games on the new "Zone". I was playing back in late 90's on the Microsoft gaming zone and was active in this community back that as "Jehu".
Anyway, I was a decent, but not great, player in random map, standard settings back then. Pops were 50, 75 or 100. My experience is for the decent bronze time with significant bronze fighting at the expense of quick iron times.
Most of the games I see today are unranked random map with a pop of 250 and set to fast or very fast (fast is fine but very fast accentuates my inexperience at high pop games)
I am looking for a guide or YouTube walk-thru for POP 250 booming while being able to defend against or attack a pesky neighboring opponent on my way to 100+/- villagers. The best tip I have found curtesy of the oracle at google is that Government Center is the first bronze age building when you are booming the economy. That has helped but I still have a long way to go before I am an asset on a team in 3x3 or 4v4 random map pop 250 games.
Thanks in advance
