Tiny vent but, since the April patch my bf has been having a harder time with the game. Harder than me. And it leads to him rage quiting. Which he did 4 times today!!

He's generally the better player, having a higher apm and also more free time to play. However, he tends to just pick a unit, usually unique, and spam it. E.g; British longbows, knights, throwing axemen, cataphracts.... And researching everything possible, and grabbing all the relics.

I don't have as much time to play, so I only play team games with him against the hard AI. But I do try to play strategically, knowing what to research and switching units based on what the enemy makes. I'm a bit more defensive, and slower to go up in ages, occasionally building towers if I'm getting rushed. I generally stick to a civil for a month or two and enjoy getting to know their strengths and bonuses in and out.

Currently my fav is Malay, so I don't know if that's the reason I'm having a better time, but it annoys the shit out of me that he just quits when he's getting beat up. I have only done this once or twice, and urg, and he always gave me crap for getting upset during a tough match and wanting to quit. But he insists this is 'different.'
