00:35 I was wrong. They were a premade team. (Looked them up later.) 01:56 I'm happy with my start. 09:51 This was worth losing my Khan for. 14:45 A trick I learned recently: click on a building in the distance so troops will not shoot (and alert the enemy to your presence) until I am close enough to make good kills. 17:53 I intended to double-click the pastures instead of the villagers. 18:24 Sending a Keshik to deal with the wolf on the trade. (I hate the continuous alarm from that pest.) 19:24 TO IMPROVE: I still click buttons too much instead of using hotkeys. 21:02 I left those vills idle for too long. 22:11 The idea is fine, to attack green's base while his army is away. Little did we know that orange is doing most of the eco for green. 24:18 I had a lot of TC idle time here :( 25:00 Floating too much, especially gold. Perhaps buy some food and go imp? 25:20 Did not expect him to be imperial. (Orange had been donating.) 25:33 Perhaps this was a stupid move, I hoped that garrisoning those vills in the towers would deter him from my base. But his knights were already too tanky. In the coming half hour I will find out that: - age III Mangudai do little vs age IV Royal Knights (age IV Mangudai will do ok later) - I should have built spearmen earlier - I should have built a far away refugee TC earlier - I should have bought food and wood when I needed it (with my trade still running I mostly had enough gold) 52:00 The Spearmen and Cannon Towers are an effective deterrence to the knights. Slowly getting back into the game. 52:40 From this moment on, I will keep raiding their trade. 53:00 TO IMPROVE: I am not producing even though I have enough resources... mentally I'm still not back yet. 1:07:17 The Cannon Towers will turn out to be a very good investment!

Notes to self (comments and things to improve) 00:05 Happy with the start. Compared to one month ago, I started using hotkeys more ("QQ" to build the Ovoo, "T" to place TC and Ger, and Q to fire the Khan's arrow). 00:26 TO IMPROVE: I should use "Q" to build villagers instead of the button. 00:57 I use the falcon all the time now (hotkey "R"). 02:45 I give two food villagers a temporary control group, so I can quickly select them later. They will build two Archery Ranges (on the Ovoo) and a Blacksmith once I age up. 06:25 It's nice that KHunters produce a bit quicker, so they arrive at roughly the same time as the Mangudai. 06:32 I use SHIFT+2 to add them to my Khan's control group. My usual control groups are: (1) melee cav, (2) ranged cav, (3) TCs, (4) stables, (5) archery ranges, (6) blacksmiths, (7) ovoo, (8) markets. 07:35 Sorry for the profanity. 08:55 TO IMPROVE: I should use "Q" to build traders instead of the button. 08:57 Good: I use the hotkeys "QZ" to build towers. As a Mongol you gotta do this so often, it's a must. I could have put the tower closer to the berries, but my intent was vision and increased Mangudai speed. 09:41 TO IMPROVE: I should use "QW" to build Gers. I build them often enough. 10:00 When I have towers in my base, I can move the Deer Stones forward. 11:07 TO IMPROVE: I should have placed this tower closer to deny the berries. 11:51 Good: I use the hotkeys "QA" to build pastures. 12:14 Bad: I forget to build villagers for half a minute. 12:51 TO IMPROVE: I should have placed this tower closer to deny the wood. 15:55 I should have place the tower first (with all the deer villagers), stables second. 17:11 This is why. 20:49 I selected all traders by first selecting ALL units with CTRL+SHIFT+A, then CTRL-clicking the trader icon below. This is quite a "dangerous" way to do it; one misclick and I send ALL units (not just the traders) on a walk. 23:08 TO IMPROVE: I should have added the archery ranges to control group 5 the moment I built them. 24:17 TO IMPROVE: When there are no more relics to pick, send the shaman to a sacred site!!! 24:58 Is Lolz using the setting where all enemies are red? Yellow is pretty clear on the minimap.

Cute

Cool

Oke

00:25 I always open with 5 vills on straggler, 1 vill on ovoo while I fugure out where to put my TC. 00:32 I press "T" to place the TC, instead of using the button below. 00:36 TO IMPROVE: I could start using "Q" to activate the Khan's maneuver arrow. 00:49 I always assign control group 2 to the Khan and 3 to the TC. 00:50 I misclicked somehow; I want the vills to deliver their wood and start on the sheep, but they go back to the tree. 01:27 TO IMPROVE: I could start using "R" to release the falcon. 01:45 Here I realize that those villagers were still on wood. I will use the wood to build a stable, and open with Early Horsemen. This may actually be the better opening vs HRE. 03:38 Nice, he has no defence on his gold yet. 03:46 The vills run away, but I can use the Horsemen to burn the Mine; meanwhile he cannot get gold here. 03:50 With control group 3 for the TC, I can quickly queue some vills while keeping my focus on the enemy base. 03:56 The TC is not rallied on the wood correctly. (There used to be a blue line to show the correct rally, I hope they fix this soon.) 04:47 Annoying repair ability from HRE. 06:35 Ha yes, I can kill this villager while idling a bunch more vills. Perhaps it was worth losing the Horsemen? 06:40 I will now build Mangudai/KHunters. My initial Horsemen made him go for Spearmen. 08:20 I always upgrade ranged armor when I send out my Mangudais. 09:40 Misclicking to build a Market (which I could have built much earlier). 11:20 Aaggh he's going Castle already. I sacrifice too much of my troops here, but I idle and delay him a lot. 12:20 Time to look at my villagers and build Pastures. I don't see that the wolf attacks my villager building the 2nd Market. 12:35 Scouting the rest of the map so I can prevent him taking the relics. 13:08 Nice! 13:36 Using the falcon to look over the wood line and kill a few vills. 12:43 Now I notice that my 2nd market didn't get build due to the stupid wolf. 16:14 I first want to send those vills to the deer, but then realize I already built enough pastures to put all food vills on sheep. 16:35 Gold is coming in too slowly and I really want to go Castle to deny the relics: use the Market to buy and sell. 16:58 Just a poke to distract. I see his army follow. 18:40 So he is getting that relic over there. Let's try to catch the others soon. 19:15 TO IMPROVE: I build enough villagers but I forget about the traders. 19:24 Using shift to rally a Shaman to the relic and back. 21:13 Hurrah, I got all the other relics, he got only 1. 21:33 Now I notice the idle vills on the gold. 21:33 TO IMPROVE: I could have given them a shift order to go build a Ger on the next gold before this one ran out. 21:36 I got enough wood, so I'll have them build a TC on the big gold. 21:46 Since I have so much wood, I'll drop a few more towers. 23:25 I accidentally add a crossbowman to my Khangudai (Khan+Khunters+Mangudai) group. 23:37 I'll check if the enemy built anything on the gold in the top corner. 23:45 TO IMPROVE: I maneuver my Keshik group too close to his base (HRE Outposts have insane vision). I should have used shift to move along the left side of the map. 23:52 Building Siege workshops on the Ovoo. I want Springalds with improved shutter triggers to hold the middle. 24:35 My Khangudai group is slow to join the fight (because of the crossbowman in the group), but I don't notice it yet. 25:04 Here I start wondering why my Khangudai are so slow. This fight wasn't very good for me. 25:21 Buying food to go Imp. 26:31 Spyglass also works for the Khan, not just for regular Scouts. And it's a cheap upgrade. 27:25 I know I cannot destroy his Swabia with this group. Just a poke to distract him and see if I can bait his troops. 27:51 I finally get that Crossbowman out of my Khangudai group. 28:50 Baiting his amry to my Towers+Kurultai. 33:21 The continuous attacks were too much for him. 33:49 I could have built a little more eco, I built too few traders (also due to that wolf killing the vill).

Khusugtun and Hun Huur Tu are by far my favourite mongolian bands 🔥🔥

amazing!
