I just watched WCL7 Group C R2 Immortals vs RVK A (POV) G3 Islands, and it got me thinking. Why don't the japense player stop producing galleys when he hit castle age, get both sling upgrades and sling the Viking player?
Pros:
33% more Galleys
One player controlling all fleets make it easier for team work
(If Jap lost his fleet he doesn't need upgrades)
Cons:
Viking player must build extra docks (jap docks idle)
If Viking ages up slower it's better to just produce yourself until he is also castle age
Extra micro for one player
Seems like a much better, right? How come it isn't the norm?
