I really like how you are such a gentleman. You treat your opponents with lots of respect. You teach me a lot about how to play to win. What I really respect is that you set such a shining example of how to be an honorable sportsman.

Sportsman?...... He's just playing a game, having fun and earning money, why would he be not a gentlemen? think about it, and also... If you're 12 years old then it makes sense for me and i'm sorry... :) All about winning is - be attentive, be confident, be fast, have game-in knowledge, go till the end and be patient ;) That's what you wanna know as to how to win the game in just one sentence.

This was much smoother than the last fast imp game you posted. It seemed like you were able to get a much larger army into his base faster, especially more bombards. Your unit control was superb. I wonder why your opponent didn’t prepare for what should have been obvious when you didn’t feudal at 25 pop. I kept expecting him to tower you, that should have slowed your build.

[@jordivermeulen2519]

I don't think you can tell from just the feudal time... 28 pop can also be janissaries.

[@tscheggenut8010]

Bbc outrange xbows and it s not like the xbow army can ignore a bunch of handcannons. Personally i think the malay player should have mixed in a few lightcav just to snipe bbcs

[@jefffinkbonner9551]

I would've gone for all his ranges to prevent him from being able to mass up more units, but your approach of just going for the kill shot and getting the TCs and actually engaging the xbow army (carefully) was clearly the winning move. xbows are so much more accurate and fire so much faster than hand cannons that a slightly larger xbow force could pretty readily widdle down the whole hand cannon army if not for that 15:18 baBOOM.

Yeah, but with only 10 farms that will only need to be reseeded once anyways, all it would do is delay that reseeding a few minutes.

[@alejandrorodriguezalcon6534]

@@jefffinkbonner9551 that's true if you finish the game early like this case. But what if you don't and game goes on?

[@ShootaFodder]

@@alejandrorodriguezalcon6534 If the game keeps going then you're at a huge disadvantage with Fast Imp. The whole point is to attack hard with stronger units while you're opponent is mid boom. If you attack hard and don't finish or don't cause enough economic damage, you're in real danger of being crushed by the mass resources of a good boom. It's a high risk, high reward strategy. If you don't win the game quickly then yes you'll need horse collar, but it also means your strategy failed and you'll need to start booming at home, meanwhile there's probably 6 stables in your opponents base spamming knights straight into your base, while you have a total of 8 lumberjacks and 8 farms to make pikes (no halbs for turks).

[@erdtaff8722]

Bro you're playing INSANE. Doesn't matter which civilization you choose, you play legit.

[@SpheraculGames]

So what's the play against this? One time i won (2v2) naturally by eventually outbooming but also prepared skirms and redemption monks the moment i saw turks being picked, seemed like the most cost effective way to deal with that in Castle age. Too bad my teammate chased the bombards with knights, couldve ended the game 5 mins earlier if he let me convert 'em damn it.

He deletes the walls that lead to the closed off forest areas which ar not accessible for his enemy anyways. So to be clear he is not deleting his front walls which lead to the open space between players. The map generates these 'useless' walls automaticaly as arena players know

[@Asterix958]

Turks has +2 range bombard cannon from their unique tech but they miss siege engineer. Therefore they miss +1 range and %20 bonus damage against building. in fact, they have just 1 range. Lack of siege engineer is almost nullify unique tech. This civ needs a bit of buff in my opinion.

[@funkymunky8787]

You say that as a Turkish person yourself :p

[@capitanmarmota8562]

Mmm not really, in that case every other civ without siege engineers would need to get it. Turks have canons, something a lot of civs don't. Seriously, stop asking for buffs to every civ on the game. The other day a guy said cathafracts need a buff just because they loose to paladins, like seriously wtf, having canons and paladins is a privilege not a right

[@Asterix958]

​@@capitanmarmota8562 Cataphract is also weak unit. It is weaker than Paladin even though it take unique tech and expensive upgrade. Okay Cata has better sides such as countering Camels and Pikemans but overall, Paladin is better unit than Cataphract. Byzantines players goes Paladin instead of Cataphract although Byzantines has worst Paladin in the game. Majority of civs have siege engineer. Also most of the other non-siege engineers civ are already bad at siege or they have other strong options but Turks is known as gunpowder civilization but they don't have strong gunpowder unit. Janissary is not stronger than Hand Cannoneer, probably equal. %25 bonus is not so useful bonus. Turks' only good bonus is free chemistry. Therefore they can perform early imperial rush. Other than that they have just 3 unit, Janissary, Hussar, Heavy Cavarly Archer. Turks Cavalry Archer is only strong unit comparing other civs.

[@capitanmarmota8562]

@@Asterix958 janissaries have probably the highest range attack damage in the game, they're enough to counter cavalry, and hussars can deal with anything threatening to them (like siege and skirmishers). And cathafracts has no counter in the game, not even paladin is a great option because of the trample damage, also remember that very few civs have paladin available, and even less civs have full upgrades on them. Tell me, what is mayans or Vikings suppose to do against cathafracts?

[@Asterix958]

@@capitanmarmota8562 Cataphracts are weak against archers. Just go arbalest against them or Cavalry archer. Byzantines are so weak in attacking. It is pure defensive civ. It is make them really bad civ. You say Cata good unit. Then why pro players go paladin with Byzantines. It is the reason that Cataphract is even weaker than worst Paladin.
