I was Mongols vs Persians
I found it interesting early on that my oppenant had went for stables, 2 of them.. so i went ahead and added in some extra spearman for defense, and went on the offensive with spear/skrims..
then i find myself getting raided at the same time on all sides, up and down the map by scouts.. my spearmen are to slow to catchup.. i didnt want to make scouts, as i wanted to castle and go for knights, which i did..
i decide not to tower as well to use the extra stone for a towncenter to add added fire when garrission vills on his scots.. well everything fails, i cant keep up with him on his redicolous raids, i found my farming going to shits, and my economy badly harrassed.. i managed to put in some harrassment of my own on his side, but i got much shorter end of the stick.
my question is what do you do in this situation..
after reviewing im thinking i should of walled off my map, and used a tower near my wood..
we both 1500ers btw :D
