Because I have a good war at least once a week, I feel this is important to share all my fun stories.

So last night, I had a good 3 hour long war with my friend, only 20 min. of it were we inactive and left our computers momentarily.

All in all, it ended up being a he'd come and attack me, I'd kill off all his men, then I'd come and attack him and he'd kill off all my men, and back and forth.

He had expanded quite a bit, having walled off 70% of the map and me having only my little section I was allowed to build in during the treaty period. Though as nice and difficult as it should be, navigating and breaking down 5 walls just to get to a town center, I found a very quick and easy short cut.

Broke down a wall leading to the closed off trade route, and took the express train up to his area, wreaking havoc with mortars as I could. Break down a few walls, and he'd meet me with his army. Knock him down to 10 units and he'd have to build up after killing me off, so I'd build up. While he's building up, he takes the same short cut down to my base of operations and tries taking down my double thickness wall, with exhalted Yumi Archers behind it. Didn't work well since my men just fired over the wall at them.

Eventually he gave up because it had been an hour and a half, so I just went through and blew s**t up.
