Casual Qwzmda vs zango: testing brown spec

Yeah well the game definitely is over, but I didn’t draw one of my war drums, so I cannot end it directly.

But don’t be too hard on yourself. Playing casual games is about learning and growing. You should focus on evaluating your attacks (and by patrolling also your proposed trades) in terms of “how much gold and how many cards are destroyed on each side by this trade”.
Let’s look at your turn 4 for example. You used up wither, messenger, turtle and by extension fencer to clear my patrol and deal 5 damage to my base.
(It turned out that the base damage was irrelevant but let’s just neglect the base damage for the moment)
That way you lost 4 cards and therewith 7 gold.
I lost one zurkling (1g and 1/3 of a card) and the other two units were 1 card and 1g in total, but I also got scavenger gold. So in total my expanse was 1g and 4/3 cards. That trade was horrible and the game got out of hand for you.
With that kind of evaluation you will be able to do better trades and with that become a better player. We’ll come to strategic questions later, let’s focus on improving your tactics first :wink:

And yes, I’m in for another one. I’ll have to slow down from Thursday onwards, but I will continue playing!
