How to play Age II Commando/Warmonger style...
You join a server that is already 4 months old. All of the Historical Heros are already taken. All of the flats around the good historicals are taken. Hmmmm.... looks like it's gonna be a challenge to capture some of those Historical Heros from some enemies as well as capture and hold some historical cities. So you decide on a long term goal to work with your team to take a particular state capital or Atlantis at 0,0 and get 10 Historical Heros from Alliance x, y or z. So what you do is setup your cities deep in enemy territory to establish a base. The enemy jumps all over you, but it's ok because you can hold your cities and protect your troops. Your team slowly build up troops, enough to start capturing some level 10 cities and get your King/Queen. Then your team starts to win some battles and you capture a few of the enemies Historical Heros. The enemy starts to lose it's power in the area as you kill off its troops. Then you capture the enemies prized Historical City from a range of 10, 15, 20 miles out with your alliance and kill off every troop they had in it. Then you hold it and keep killing every wave they send to it to desperately get it back. It took you 6 months, maybe even 1 year to do it. Almost like real time war. And there was never a boring moment.
The point is, the game is what you make it. How you play it determines if it is boring for you. Some people are just thrilled and really enjoy being in a safe haven. If that is what they like, fantastic. Great that Age II can cater to them. Then others, like myself, prefer to be aggressive and stir stuff up. Invade enemy territory, let them jump on me. Then slowly build up and start taking over like the black plague. But hey, that's just me. Age II can be played a number of styles and no style of play is "wrong". But what Is wrong is complaining that you don't like it when you never make the effort to take on a real challenge.
Did you actually take a lv.12? Not from Lethal anyway. You won a few uprising after 4 months or so of hiding your armies when your suzerain was offline, and thats it. Half your alliance is ghost accounts.
You grabbed a few HHs due to the glorious evony bug that allows 100% loyalty historical heros to be taken even when defending an uprising, 100% of the time.
evony is working on making sure that losing your heroes is not a certainty now (a bit late).
Still waiting to see what you actually do with your new found freedom. If your strategy is to wait until a player is bored and leaves the server, or evony has another brainwave and wreaks the game again with another poorly thought out fix then thats not strategy.
