On complex maps, it is often more important in the first week to build a Capitol than to upgrade to the first levels. When you are competing with someone on random maps, the point is often lost. Coming with 12 Wyverns in the 1st-2nd week and crushing the opponent – where is the strategy here? Well, you got lucky with the Hive, it happens.
While you are building a Capitol in the first week, the opponent comes to you with 12 Wyverns, and you have nothing to defend with.
