A trader costs 60wood and 60gold, and have +/- same income as a villager that costs 50food.
A market only cost 100wood, compared to a town center costing 350stone+400wood

Assume you make 13traders per market, and 20villigers per town center:
trader cost 68wood and 60gold
villager cost 50food 18stone and 20wood (excluding farms, wood- and miningcamps)

Most important: gold and wood deplete in the lategame, and requires micro to update wood- and miningcamps

This is for Siege weapon only army composition



Similar to Big bombards only Ottoman, who have free janissaries from military schools for anti cavalry. But need to get wood from villagers.

It also have a baron you put in a castle that makes farms and houses generate food without villagers working.
They also have Ballista elephant, if that thing tank

Golden Horde
50 food costing light infantry that increased nearby unit armor.
Maybe it even costs 17or33food after a upgrade
They also have a battling ram (200wood cost) that can be turned immobile and start shooting arrows

I remember when this genre of games were all the rage. There are still people who love these strategy games. One day, I must try one.

Pretty sure after all these years you've dedicated you are not even in top 50% of the players.

Thats what kapitals say

I not play to climb

I made rules:
only 4v4
only 1 type of military unit
must be ok to a-click and not watch or micro
must rebuild full army within 1 min
needs 1v4 power
infinite resources
sadism first
