They backtracked from Mangonels / Nests of Bees changes. They still have tracking and have higher ranged resistance now, while their only counter has been removed. Springalds sniper duels absolutely had to go long ago, but cavalry is still useless versus bodyblocked siege.

I can't believe that they getting rid of dry arabia in ranked map pool. That map is the reason I play this damn bad rng game. The other day I was playing mongols in hill and dale, cuz of good trade. Guess what? back of my base full of trees, you can't run through the back... 60-70% of times my gold is in front, while enemies gold is in the back. Rocky river most times have all sheep in one area, if u manage to do the run right, you pick up 16+ sheep in 2 mins. and last but not least. Lipany is the most base camping, base building sim strategy map ever made, you literally need 150-200 wood to lock down half the map from entering your base. P.s good that Goerge will be gone. I totally hate that thing, the map doesn't offer any diverse play, like arabia did for example.

As you play better than I do (i never get pass Diamond 1 I think), I thought you are very experienced in the game and RTS. But in fact, I learned the game in more or less the same time as you do, and just in slightly lower level than you do. (I can't get pass Diamond 1, but never unable to get back to Diamond 1 in solo)

I am Abba main as well. How you deal with this combo is to make mangonels. It's easier when he fully commits to just camel archers. You make 3-4 and push his base with rams. You can use maa or something like that and put it behind your siege and let them so the work. Castles will also help to control the movement of the enemy. It's like wit mangudai, you have to close trade and or base. See it like fast crossbows. AB Abba I also can play with 100 age 3 archers or fully uograded once. It will eventually trade better but Iu need a secent mass. Best is to get mangos out that will hurt them alot. Make 3 or 4 so Out can almost one shot them or DMG alot. I. Late game I think also handcamoniwrs and siege will so

A lot of people think this is a fighting game. It's really a scouting, macro, micro game. If you don't scout well it's only random chance you have the right strategy and right counter units. If you don't macro well (including spending your resources) you can't put as many units on the field. Last, if you don't micro well you can have your perfect counter units (eg. spears vs horses) eaten up by your opponents counter units (archers counter your spears). You can easily get to gold status simply by having a good building order and decent macro but to get beyond that you need to scout well, macro more efficiently and micro decently.

So why did he delay his push and built his production away from his TC? He was never a Diamond player. This push 3 minutes earlier and you wouldnt have a bit of a chance with 4 Horsemen and 3 Arches. In addition, i am asking myself why he didnt kite your Ghulam.

@rfmvoers4 күн бұрын
Your rank not only depends on how often you win/lose, but also on who you win/ lose against. A diamond player will tend to get more diamond opponents (if the matching system is working well).
@maomaopvp4 күн бұрын
Because you have a 50% win rate when you play people around your level. If you played against a better opponent your win rate would be lower, but in your league your are doing fine. Therefore the system will adjust and put you better opponents to match your skill
@mickioo4 күн бұрын
Lots of things others mentioned like attacking production building instead of landmarks. But also try not to fight under the enemy TC if you can avoid it. Doesn't seem like much but it really does a lot of damage to your army over time. Especially to unarmored units like the one's you have in feudal. Getting the ranged armor upgrade early also helps a lot.

Just kiting. You should always make 2tc on abba. Anyway your eco is much better than Japanese eco. Against castle rushing civs you have to age up to castle as well. Samurai are weak against crossbows keep it in mind. Especially mass. You don’t want to stay in one place when samurai are on you… big mistake. They are slower than archers. Harassing with horsemen great idea you did good damage. With camel archers sure you could stay in feudal however it’s not great as you will have to continue doing them otherwise you will lose .

@johnnypenso95746 күн бұрын
I think you did fine. The only thing I would have done different is to not engage the samurai so early to preserve your units. You only had one counter to them and it was the camel archer so I probably would have tried kiting them with my archers to draw them away from the middle of the map and moved my horses around to harass (he would likely have just brought them back to the base to defend) and waited a minute or two for a handful of camel archers to be ready to engage.
@maomaopvp5 күн бұрын
Yeah when the samurai came out I panicked lol, did the switch to camels but they take so long to train
@corycosta62574 күн бұрын
I think that is the the right move. Once you see he’s going castle start making camel archers, you already have gold shut down, a few samarai are his only option really. You could also go for a ram straight away, or get your 2nd tc and pressure with your military wing units and play on from there.
@BossTycoonAOE6 күн бұрын
One thing i learned in a fight i had against this same civilization you just played against (i lost) is that hitting landmarks pre 10 minutes takes way too much time and allows them to build their army up and get ahead. it took 2 minutes for your one ram to bring it down to almost dead and didn't even take it out. i prefer to target military buildings and economic buildings to deny the enemy from building their army back, because if he managed to protect himself from your rush, it would have been gg since it takes forever for your army to build back up for another push.
