Because I just like this game so much!

Okay, here's the scenario: I'm playing Russians mostly, with a currently 13th level Home City. I've got a few good cards, mainly my Strelets upgrading ones (with Standing Infantry and Fencing School cards, all my infantry units train SUPER FAST) and a few resource cards. Nothing too big, at least not at the moment.

I've done about three battles that I remember so far, all on Moderate difficulty: first was a 2v2, which I won pretty handily and wasn't too bad. Third was a 3v3, and for that one I basically stomped my enemies with Strelets + Cossacks in lategame, and they couldn't do shit about that. It was a great victory.

The third one, and the most recent... was different. I'll admit, I was playing fairly seriously, and I was fighting the Sioux, the French, and the Dutch. That's a serious A-level team there, since the Dutch get massive amounts of coin for huge mercenary armies (on this map Elmetis, which were horrid to fight) and the French and Sioux both have amazing cavalry. In a way I was basically screwed from the start, since every side had awesome cav in one way or another, and even if I was to spam Halberdiers I would've been overwhelmed.

But, I fought until the end. Turns out they pulled the old trick of throwing cannons at my base en masse, and I couldn't bring up Cossacks fast enough to stop them. I lost everything, and only managed to repel the three armies (my allies had been blasted away long ago) at great cost. I decided I'd give them one last "Fuck you" before resigning: I had my Explorer build a Town Center overtop of where the original one fell, and resigning before more armies could beat me up.

I'm going to do another 3v3 now; hopefully it turns out well. I'll do my best, and if that's not enough, then I'll go out and give them hell while my base is burning.

Any suggestions for which map I should play?
