Default Re: Preponderance - Big Team Game! [starting!]

To be clear:
1) That was not a breakout. I could've played round-and-round the mulberry bush forever if I wanted, except that I knew Caelum was about to jump on my capital.
2) The skelly spam trick only works if you have an enormous infantry army (about 130 units, in the most recent case) which you are willing to lose. With just the archers and skelly spam, the identical army will wipe him out.

That said, my position is certainly dire. What is the best strategy when facing two opponents at once? Don't get in that situation in the first place.
