my offense will be off spec and def will be def spec and small elite offspec2:defspec3:elite1 ratio

o-specs fail. use elites for offense

No rax? I guess you'll take the long hit times :p

Outside war the watchtowers aren't really necessary. As a Merchant, your income should be fairly steady, but even 10% banks may allow you to keep a rather steady elite offense, especially if you intend on not using rax. The no rax will buy you time to prepare for a quick rebuild, swapping WT's for banks will only boost that.

While OOW, I'd imagine your goal is to get yourself ready for your next war. That means mainly getting science, wizards and elites.

10% Homes
7% Farms
20% Banks
15% TG
5% Arms
7% Forts
20% Guilds
5% Towers
10% Stables
1% Dungeon

This build wont require much razing if your kd goes to war on short notice. If your going to be OOW for a long time, you can boost banks to allow urself more science.

Also, ditch the o-specs when OOW.

i mean will be going in a war will that work?

[Ezzerland]

Ok, so you mean you're looking for an in-war strat?

Human are good for A/T so to use 1-2 tpa is quite a waste. At this point in time, use 3tpa and switch to TDs, and u make a pretty good thief. Also, use more barracks (10-20%), or u wont be a threatening attacker at all. The elites are also far better than o-specs. Although ambushable, I didnt get any last age as human/merch. Without sci, i wud think 8 elites/acre and 6-7dspecs/acre shud be manageable. Prolly train offspecs for oop plunders, but thereafter train only elites.

Looks better as a war build :) You'll need barracks for sure, and probably GS, but otherwise it looks fine.

[Gaza'sGreats]

Barracks are needed.

Your strat is epic fail. nuf said
