I am currently a major playing on TWC and have noticed something that i think would help to maybe balance the rush a little bit.
As a british i find it incredible difficult to stop a native rush. And i think that i have figured out why.
As Brits i build my forward up with the rest of my team mates. I generally age up around the same time as everyone else, and i am very limited on how fast i can get my units out. I build my barracks, i wait for 5 units to come out.
Now the trouble is, the Natives generally have their forward up before htey finish aging, so not only do they get to start training up 5 men almost instantly, they ALSO have their barracks as a place where home city shipments can be sent too.
It is very difficult for me to be able to stop this, becaucse i cannot change how fast my units are training ( not in the early stages of the game at least) and can only get 5 men out while, they are most likely already working on their second batch of 5, and then out pops either 10 maces, 7 aennas, 6 puma, etc. right out from their barracks!
So perhaps they should not be able to send homeshipments to their war huts?
just an idea...
