I'd like to hear the opinion of experienced players:smile43:
Here's a situation from a game playing as the Swamp faction, Shades of Darkness, first week of development:
By day 2-3, I have 3-4 heroes. And from the open territory, I can see that Hydras are being placed in the Fortress, right at the limit. The question is: should I limit myself to this number of heroes and sacrifice the pace of development, or buy more heroes, risking not being able to reach level 7.
Let's assume there are factors indicating potential problems with this: slow roads, poor resource spawns, etc.
I'm not a strong player, but nevertheless :) My IMHO: in this example, Hydras are definitely not needed! Hydras are built on the first day mainly if you have enough money to buy troops on day 121, so you don't have to spend a couple of days doing nothing and thus maintain the pace of the game, which is very important! Or, if there are a lot of explored hives, then you can try to build Hydras to start shaking the trees from day 121.
But scouting is the most important thing!
Я ламер и играть не умею, нах!:smile33:
