We played that game, it was really fun, I enjoyed it a lot. Best part was being able to play from work. It does take a bit too much maintenance though, and I probably won't play again. To be really good and dominate you need to put in a ton of time. Fun ass game though, and has a ton of griefing potential. 2 thumbs up!
PS-You also need to be part of an alliance if you want to have a chance to survive, if you try solo you're done.
For your army build a 2 to 1 ratio of Infantry to Heavy Calvary. The more Heavy Calvary the better. You should have about 50K infantry and 35k Heavy Calvary when you're peaking with an army that destroys.
