So basically, i've got this friend who's pretty new to the game. He's been improving pretty quickly, but he's got this one annoying habit of constantly making Longswords in the castle age, in situations where he should just go for knights. Now, i'm only a 1700 HD player, so i can't teach him everything about the game. I've explained to him that pretty much only the Goths could go for Longswords, but he seems to think otherwise. So what's the deal with Long Swordsmen? What should i tell him? Keep in mind he's a below average player still, but he's a skilled RTS player, and he's gonna get a lot better for sure.
