for 3v3 games it's always nice to have an ally with battlefield construction card, such as souix, india,ottoman-my point being that with a single infantry unit walking the very edge of the map will most likely go unnoticed and if successful can just mass a hidden base and crank out units galore, this has happened to me a few times where me and my team begin to push and knock out the other team's fb only to find a stream of soldiers pouring out of the tiniest corner of the map with our towns caught in between them and our armies :mad:

You don't need battlefield construction for that as you can just use a villager to sneak a FB behind someones base. Also using galleons to build units by the coast at the side of someones base works a treat too.

Battlefield construction is good to swarm one's base with teepees, although I haven't really seen that in action more than once.

I had a galleon do that to me. It dropped off vills behind my completely walled village and by the time I noticed it was too late. That's very effective. It was just outside my building LOS. Multiple rax meant death. :cry:
