5M gold starts usually suck and here's why
the 5M gold starts can be super fun because you skip the lame ass boring start of having no money and no troops, allow fast elimination of bots, but there's a major drawback.
A lot of moron n00b players that would normally get crushed early game make it to what is effectively mid game where you need to plan alliances and choose enemies wisely. These fucking doorknobs have zero strategic though and almost every single 5M game I get attacked by some twat who is throwing both of our games, because he's not strong enough to defeat me, but because I need to divert attention to deal with his dumb ass, I can no longer finish off the guy I'm in the middle of stomping, so then it turns into a turdfest where everyone is attacking him and everyone is attacking me because hes so stupid he didn't keep any men in reserve and basically fullsent on me.
great job idiot now we're both dead.
