Hey guys!
After the great success of episode 1 I figured, the quicker I get the challenge out for episode two the better.
Naturally I have a tonne of ideas for this and am going to keep them fairly straight forward and set for the moment. Soon as I see lots of interest and heaps of recorded games getting sent in I will start to vary the challenges as much as possible. For the moment I think this one should work just as well as the episode one challenge.
Anyway... The challenge for this week is to wall your opponent into their base as soon as possible, with as little resources as possible. I haven't seen this happen a lot at all, but where I have it seamed to work amazingly well. Something I would like to say right now is, Land Nomad/Nomad games are most likely not going to be accepted, mostly for the fact in early game you can wall your opponent in quite easily so it won't be as much fun.
AoC has a lot of fast hitting high risk tactics that lots of people don't know about, or say 'this will never happen to me' so now is your chance to show just how aggressive you can be early on in this game.
As usual I will supply a recorded game to demonstrate what I mean so hopefully there is no 'gray' areas in the challenge.

The game was also covered by Mr Danish177 so you can always watch that -

Thanks to everyone who sent in recorded games for episode one, it turned into a massive success and the feedback from the community was great.
Have Fun!
