i think he needs some numbers.Think like: if u make loom after vil 7, and u going to up with 22pop, you will have lost a vil working from 8 to 22 wich would be 14x25 secs in time that is 350seconds of a vil working you would have 116 res more than your enemy. i did 350x0.333 that would be like normal rate of a vil working in farm or somthn. Sometimes i dont even make loom going to feudal so the bonus i get is a lot better, could be like 250 or somthn depends when i make loom. If vs meso you have to be fast so if he hits your vil u hit back a bit and then garrison the unit or make little palisade.
laggy game do loom asap!!!
no lagg in game you can play without loom,you dont need more explanations 1111 also if you playing vs lame players do it.
