    Very true. Many people look over TM when it's a very easy win.

    Mr. Ace:

    Here's a good battle plan:

    Send a decoy ship (Frigate). You're opponent might be thinking your army is in that ship so he will kill it. Once that decoy is near the island, it will be fired upon. Send another ship (Frigate/Caravel) with your army in it, behind the decoy, so the ship won't get attack and your army would land with no problems.

    I love sending an armada of frigates at an enemy, and they think the frigates are loaded with troops so they attack them. Then the tiny canoes following in my fleet's wake unload an army and the enemy is overrun.

    Works every time.  :D


    Know what's weird? Day by day, nothing seems to change. But pretty soon, everything's different.

    Already been said! But it is good to mention that if your opponent is a lamer he won't notice the canoes Big Smile

    Btw: If you send all the war ship upgrades, and you research all the upgrades from your dock, your monitor will easily have 200+ attack, X10B. And the sepacial ability will take out even a boosted Fort...

     

    Oh, and remember that Ceylon is completly surrounded by water, so you can get a hell of an eco, and own him with your ships, since you're in outnumber (canoes). But if you don't think he can ever get off that island, try turning on the TV and letting the game sit for an hour or two XD

    Um, no they can't .. FU monitor is 400 with long range attack, with 10x. It can't take out a TC. 2 Can though, along with taking out walls. You'd need 3-4 for a FU fort.

    13 outposts?

    Apparently he had planned doing this from the start. I've used tactics similar to this, and I know how to beat players who do this.

    Place a hot air balloon over his island to view his buildings and artillery, and use long-range monitor attacks on his factories.

    Cram petards on the slighest piece of land you can find that is in front of his towers, and blast a hole in his defences.Then, send in a ship as quickly as you can to the breach loaded with more petards and soldiers to widen the hole. Destroy all of his docks so he can't make ships.

    If he isn't leaving his island at all, fortify the large island with towers and double walls. This will leave him with no place to run away to.

                    Did the guy have outposts or castles? cause if he was china and he had his wonder the proclein tower+the factory from consulate it can easily sustain wood income and if he was china he wouldve had a ick ass navy with fire ship spam to back it up.
