45 Peacetime games
Hey all, long term casual player here that recently started doing multiplayer with friends.
Most if not all online games are played with 60 peacetime. However, I recently came across some shoutcasts for 30PT games. Those were really interesting to me, to see the players going very different strategies. Some trading away food for axes & rushing militia, others rushing iron and going pikes&crossbows.
But, as I am not really skilled at this game, I think 30 minutes is just too short for me to set up a semi-efficient base. Same for the friends I usually play with. So recently, we did a 45 peacetime game. The strategies were somewhat similar to a 60PT game, but with earlier recruits, less leather and more iron. It was interesting to see how it played out.
Now, my question to you more experienced peeps: how would you play in a 45 PT game? Go for fast iron, no leather, pikes+crossbows? A market strategy? Or a more classic approach with sword fighters?
I'm interested to see what you will come up with, and I may be able to play a game somewhere in the upcoming week.
