I am here, but i honestly don't play this game online, too many players just play to win the fastest, there is no strategy to it no more.
No one fights properly, they do peon/peasent rushes and that just ruins the game for me.
Its funny, i built up a major base with like 2-3 lines of defense towers and by the time thye got to me, i had tons of soldiers, so he left in the middle of the game.
Rushing never is the answer and when people learn that, the better the RTS games will be.
Why not have a cease fire for 10-20mins for a full base to be built, along with defenses and after that, you build a force to explore the area and level up your hero.
Thats my idea of a good game, even if i win or lose, if they play normally, building up a thriving base AND beat me, i feel honoured, but every game i played (50) all they had was the basic requirements and nothing else...it just ruined it for me, so i don't bother playing online no more.
Totaly agree with you mate, i never play online anymore either, same reason. Why are they playing if all they're gonna do is have the shortest games possible?
Oh yea, I'm here too... for now.
