I got partnered with a level 15 human the other day (me being a level 9) and we owned... it's not like he played spectacular or anything though, he kept getting footmen to fend off the huntresses hitting his base, but I saved his ass a number of times. I find whenever I get partnered with a higher level, we usually win, but it seems like they don't do as good as you'd expect. Maybe i'm just expecting too much from them? heh. Anyways, those tips that plac gave are good and i'll try and put them to work next game. Those seconds do add up........
