No PT gaming
I would like to tell you about the game without PT. We should pick map with army or a small town.
Consider the map The valley of dangers 2. Game 4x4, top-to-bottom. We'll play on bottom.
*Early game - before 20 min
Middle game - between 20 and 50 min
Late game - after 50 min
On loc 3 and 7 we have three ways:
1). Rush. On 15 min you should have 15 militia (with an average building skill). When you have it, you should scout the territory and attack/defence. It depends on enemy. But dont attack your enemy if you dont know how many soldiers/tower they have. They can parry your attack and go to the counter. If you cant beat your opponents before 25 min (or they cant beat you), you should make gold, food and mb iron. One people for team MUST HAVE! Two people at will, three people not recommended.
Rusher's town on 12 min:

2). Semi-rush. If you play this role, you should support your rusher. There are many ways to do that. You can make fast iron, and near 25 minutes you have some xbows (or pikes, NO SWORDS! is's too expensive). If you know, xbow likes tasty militia

3). Defender. You should build towers on the middle of the map before 15 min, and stones in it. If you cant do it in time - pray that theit rusher make a mistake. Rushers can have 10 militia on 12 min. You cant build towers so early. Because of it, you rusher should defend you when you build towers. And maybe your enemy is defender too. This situation can be:

But i was faster and our rusher helped me =)
Defender's town on 15 min:

If you play on loc 4 or 8, it's three ways too:
1). You are Semi-rusher. Your team have defender and rusher on locs 3 and 7, they need 3 adn 7 locs more than me.
2). You are rusher. Your team have other rushers or defenders you havent places in front.
3). You are late gamer. You should build your town so, that you play with PT 60 min. Your trumps - swords, bows, knights, etc. You can build 1-2 weaponworks if your teammates need them. You cant help your team on 20-30 min, but on 50 you have some swords and bows, and you become a mincer >D. 1-2 people for team.
Replays:
Rusher (green) & Defender (light blue) - http://yadi.sk/d/SXWcYHHT6HpFs
Semirusher -
I done see a sence to make replay to late gamer, because lots of people can build good city for 60 min.
Maps to play:
TVOD2 - best ni PT map now, in my opinion. Absolute balans, 4 "hidden" locs, towers in beginning + lots of resources in storehouse.
BR 2v2 - you have a little town with a sawmill and a little army.
Mountanious region - the same.
Land of hills - A little town, and good defence condition.
Kaderto - if you play KaM Remake before r3392, you must know what's this. My advise: playing 3x4 is better, 346 vs other.
Wish Star Deathmatch - i think it's playable, but it's a little unbalance, on bot passage is more marrow than on top.
The Same Rocks - not the best variant, but you have 2 "hidden" loc (1 and 8)
Kurwed Ravine

Rocky coast - it's not the best variant too, but he have a little town and towers.
Blood river - why not? You have some "unlimited" resources abd towers, but havent food. It's rush protector =).
Strait of Sharks - the same/
I wrote what I remembered, the post will be appended.
