Honestly LB10's mistake was going for those towers later on instead of putting down a castle or two. That one castle from Metal dealt with a fair few towers before the trebs and basically kept LB10 from pushing, the second one on Metals home island did exactly the same. They gave metal the breathing space against pushes all game long because even if LB10 built the stuff to kill them he would have had a lot of trouble protecting that stuff whilst attacking the castle without taking a horribly lopsided fight vs Metals army with castle fire support. Towers are great for spammable light defence or early game arrow support, but once they become available castles completely outclass them as arrow fire machines. Not to mention the crenulations potential. Thats basically one of the issues Korean's have, their towers don't get really beastly till castle age, but soon after Castles become available which outclass even imp age korean towers.
@sarcobarco95625 жыл бұрын
honestly, there were a lot of routes that he could've gone that would've ended better from my understanding. Going for atleast 1 castle is for sure one of them, or just cooling it for a second with the towers and transitioning earlier. For a while it was a good idea, but i feel like he kept it going wayyyyyyy longer than made sense to. Once metal was locked into a corner on his island with basically no protection, definitely could've just transported a couple of his knights and caused far more disturbance than his towers ever could have. (and thus saved the stone, enabling him to create said castle even easier). I think leaving the extra islands in the center unprotected (considering he plopped down 20-25 towers, and a lot of them were redundant anyways, I think its more worth it to have 2 towers on each of those islands just in case). He could've pushed for a faster imperial the moment he saw metal's tower, and, supposing he did build a castle, use trebs to reclaim his entire island (instead of the other way around) etc. I am by no means a high level player, and we're seeing this from spectator position, but considering the amount of map control, i think he had all the information available to come to the same conclusions, and i think he did make a lot of poor decisions.

Small trees is a steam workshop mod that you can download for your game if you play the HD edition on steam, and the zoom of your camera is dependent on the resolution your display is set at. The higher the resolution, the more zoomed out you'll be! So use the biggest/nicest monitor you have access to. Some computers with certain graphics cards can set their resolutions higher than the screen normally allows to allow for more zoomed out game play on a not high res monitor.
