There is some truth in Wlk777' same words! But very little. Roughly as little as the percentage of games where strong players build on smks or 8 mm for an angel castle in a Castle ;) . In other cases, Wicc is more correct :D .

I think weak players build angels on the first turn even less often than strong ones;) . I wrote it plain and simple that angels are for when you have money; by the way, angels in a Fort aren't much more expensive than horses in a Castle . Another thing is that this really happens rarely, however, the claim that the combination of horses+markis is unequivocally stronger than angels with monks (and even without monks) is quite debatable—why, see above.
P.S. As I see it, Wicc's thinking is heavily skewed toward TE; he needs to take into account that the overwhelming majority of those discussing here prefer SoD and, for example, the discussion about horses in a Castle was started by Dubrovin Pavel, who as far as I know is also one of them ;) . Therefore, for the nth time, I ask Wicc@Co not to cause confusion in the discussion; ideally, of course, he should write about TE in the appropriate section, but apparently that's unrealistic for some :mad:
