A solid sword rush makes a real mess of my fort and inner base. I've very little to defend as I went for a lancer harass strat, aware that this might be the result.
However, all is not lost, although one of my builders dies in a very stupid way, the other lives and spends most of the game being pursued by an assortment of swords, TGs and even Aragorn himself.
But no matter how far they chase, I run faster and scatter across the entire map, there is an extremely close call for elfy builder A but he gets out alive to continue his work.
Boiling oil wrecks my first attempt on his fort and rebuild wrecks the second, however, the third attempt meets unmarred success and it is only a matter of time before I find his builder and end it.
