I give up for now. After the last win I didn’t manage to win a single game. I just get more and more angry. Barbie has to have really bad map, so I can raid. If his gold or wood is back, his initial surge of 30 units is just too much for me to handle. I’m basically forced to go counter units in the beginning. Until I get enough of them, to clear him out, I get delayed too much to castle. If I didn’t manage to raid his gold hard until that point, I’m basically screwed.

I really see no point to force this quest of mine at the moment. Hardest just cheats too much, so I can’t play against it like I would play against a normal human. True, my multitasking does get better, but it’s not worth the frustration. Plus it might teach me bad habits. I think I’ll stick to hard for now in my quest. Only switch to hardest, if it gets too easy. The point of this quest was to go through all civs, learn them properly and practice their strongest strategies.

Sorry for the depressing post and the lack of posts in general. Hope that will change soon 🙂
