didn't think about that back then:P        but it would be tricky anyways, he had the whole river filled with ships and he could easily replace them

I have a worse defeat now.

I was Dutch with Otto (noob) vs Otto and spanish. In great plains

The otto rushed me, but with colonial militia and early skirms I stopped him. Later in the game he kept making hussars and spamming great "b00mbards", I had some culvs and ruyters so his first wave with cannons with cav were nothing, I took his "boombards" very easily, and he even told me:"how do you manage to always beat my cannons". After an hour of spam nassauers and ruyters, I destroyed his town, but being in the battle I forgot about my base, and when I looked in the minimap I seen a yellow spot in my eastern wall and thought "What the f...." and also seen thet they destroyed my ally's base, and they did one near mines, wtf he destroyed my double wall and he entered in my town, and then.... MY CONNECTION WAS LOST! 

After, I was angry about my connection, and also with my ally, wtf, even he didn't request help whan they went to his town!!! and when they attacked me at last, I told him to help me (he had army of jannies and hussars) and he said "I'm there", his army was destroying the wall of the opponent otto that was left....  I had spies and a monster eco out there, but that small base of 2 stables and a foundry ended at the empire..... and the Spanish guy also was a trouble that I didn' think about very well....

At least I learned some things: Skirmishers are great , watch the minimap, keep some soldiers guarding, and for second time don't subestimate enemies, have map control (spanish guy had about 65% of map), Great plains natives can only be countered with great plains natives... And that Dutch are good in turtling... 

Me and a clan mate were in a 2vs2 lobby, and a Captain and a Lieutenant Colonel come in. I'm a Captain and my buddy is a Master Sergeant. Teams were really unfair, and my buddy asks for no rush 10 min. I don't really like no rush of any kind, but I go along with it. Everyone agrees to no rush 10 min.

But then, the dumbest thing ever happened. Me and my clan mate were rushed before 10 min.

Excuse me? The teams were completely unfair, and they still feel the need to cheat?

The Lieutenant Colonel in particular kept calling us noobs, and the Captain insisted that he "thought the no rush 10 min was a joke". But he kept on attacking, despite claiming that he thought it was a joke.

What the shiznits. 

I just had THE MOST embarassing defeat ever...

Basically, it was a 4v4 nr 40 (dunno why, just fancied it for a change), and on my side was Indians, Brits, Russians and Ottos (me). The other side was French, French, Russian and Japanese (so they were gonna spam OP units, great. Must have been sabotage or something, coz after the 4th minute the brits lagged out, leaving us 3v4. However, we kept our cool and kept playing...

At 30 minutes, it was going pretty well. Turns out that the Japs and one of the French were noobs and had a score of about 700 each, whilst my Indie ally had 1400 and me and the Russians had 1100 each. It looked like we werre gonna win, but I deleted my 3 Tcs by accident when setting a gather point... I thought "No prob, Ill just build another with my Explorer" But then no matter where I went, it said "Buildings can only be built nearby the starting TC" I was completely wtf, as I had only put up stables and no walls. So for the next ten minutes I stockpiled and built 50 Imperial Cav Archers (they had spies so I knew they were spamming cuirs, the noobs). Then, at the 40th minute, I was starting to build a wall (which only started coz the Indians used Cease Fire, but just before I finished, it ended and the guy sent all of his cuirs into my base, **** 40 villies and my 2 factories.. In conclusion, I was screwed. My ally started swearing like a sailor at me, and he had reason too, as it was now effectively 2v4. However, they managed to hold out for another 10 minutes before anything problematic happened, which was enough time for me to build 3 Tcs again. Then I continued to pour out more cav archers, and we were fending them off for a little bit. Then they found a spot in the Indians 7 layer wall which only had 1 bit of wall and managed to **** his villies. I resigned and i would have left straight away except the Indians and the opposing clan were having a massive fight with words and I thought I would see how it panned out...

I cant understand why do people continue posting here, still, I doubt that someone would like to read all the embarassing defeats...

IMO, as if someone cared for that...
