So that entire maps strategy is about getting towers onto your walls
so that you have a base to build in? If one person does this, every
has to, or that one person wins. And imo appleboy only died because he
over worked his food supply and i killed off a great deal of his
workers when he started taking mine. I think the game shouldn't allow
such cheap, quick and easy ways to gain an advantage, although its not
all up to me. And anyway, when I saw his towers, i immediately started
cosntructing my own, but his finished first (it was a very close race
though) and quickly finished off mine, so I lost a pile of workers
that could have been doing something else to a race i couldn't win
anyway.
