While loading the game, hints popup about good game play. One of the more stupid ones is to garrision recourses outside the city with troops
I assume this is refering to Clay pits, shards, etc. So someone who has never played will start building troops and spread them all across the land just to get easily wiped out by almost anything. Talk about fustrating. Even the AI does not do this lol. So if the AI does not do it because it is dumb, why tell players to do that?
