The 3 arrows strategy

[La Fayette]

EST
Yes, sir, I feel like it, since this topic is really on my mind:
1) It is a pity that YOU (and many other experienced players) don't feel like testing. I can understand you though (after the 1125+ attacks that ST and I ordered recently ).
2) Thank you for giving me a link to Dave's test. It is very interesting.
3) In fact it is so interesting that I feel like starting a new topic: "shields vs arrows".

Yeah, speeding up technological research in the early game is important and good, but yopu should never forget the growth of your capital, as well as the produciton... I often found myself with only one settler at the start and a silk square in his range... sometimes played with Silk right from the start on, thus accepting a lower food production... at other times, I ****ed on it and played the standard development before using the silk square later... I think the decision you make here can be very important for the later game.
