Three ladder battles here. All three of them defeats thus rooting your seraph firmly to the bottom of the ladder rankings.
SwampRat was new to the ladder but he turned out to be a very sly dog. His victory was very convincing indeed.
The battle with EoJ turned out to be a melee mosh because of the big hill. I grabbed the heights but the lack of infantry upgrades was telling and I was slowly strangled to death. Most notable was EoJ not noticing the crossbowmen picking off his expensive Venetian archers.
For fighting Wolpsyco, I tried a similar army with the infantry getting all the upgrades and the performance was better but Wolf's cav heavy army was more mobile and once my pikemen were reduced, I was a goner. I better find a way to protect them in future.
