Wait... they are complaining because you used a wonder victory against the goths when you were mayans?

Goths vs Mayans is an unholy matchup. The mayans have almost no easy way to counter them.

I don't care how many archers you have Huskarl can just walk all over them(well you can do the out micro thing with hit and running but that is tough with foot archers(actually, are plummies faster than huskarl? I never tried that before)).

As mayans your only real chance to win in military vs an equally skilled player is to have archer and siege[I think mayans get heavy scorps... and they can be used against just about anything] support with Eagle Warriors[I think an El Dorado Eagle warrior can beat a huskie one on one, the problem is huskies are produced 3 times as fast and are only half the gold cost... that and the eagle warrior doesn't win by much].

Therefor, one should in such a situation hole themselves up and wait for reinforcements(if in a team game), hole up and wait for gold to run out(since you can at least fight the halbs on semi-even ground), or hole up and try for another kind of victory.

Thus a Wonder Victory was a good choice in that setup.
