Solo queued into a 4v4 Amazon tunnel game. At some point while I was focused on the giant battle in the middle one of my teammates use a onager or something to break my monastery and steal my relics. They never asked for them or said anything all game. I just resigned after I realized what happened as I didn’t want to play with someone who would do that. And I know no enemy’s did it nobody ever broke the front line. This happen to anyone else? It’s the first time I’ve experienced griefing like this. I reported them just wanted peoples thoughts on the matter. ---

Yes, generally the fill experience has been pretty good for me. I guess there’s always a few bad apples ---

Don’t play closed maps. On open maps noone has time to do such things, unless your team has already won. 😃 … bad apple… nothing else to say. ---

Yeah, I would if I knew people that played but know one I know has an interest in strategy games and I’m not a fan of teaming up with people I don’t know for more than 1 match. I’ve never had such a bad experience before so I’m hoping it’s just a 1 time thing and this doesn’t happen again. ---
