In Arena team game, watch out for pre made cheese strats: Team with Cuman/Gurjara/Celts: feudal ram push/castle elephant ram push/imperial siege ram spam. You’ll need to go up faster and create melee units to defend this. For imp you need lots of your own mangonels. Team with Goth/Italians: beware of the “pizza delivery” strat! Team mates sling goths who goes fast imp and spam tons of condottieri for almost free. You need to recognize this soon and kill slinger players fast while they’re defenseless. Or you die to the spam. Other civs to watch out for: Spanish, Conqs Turk, Janis or fast imp Bohemia, surprise castle age HC, early imp bbc, monks Monk civs like: Burmese, Aztec, Bengalis, Portuguese and more.

Nice guide. Also venting after Masters of Arena final I'm disapointed in T90 for not mentioning BF players using flaming camels against elephants and ocasionaly paladins already. That setting with players using costly units so much in team games (even going for mass war elephants sometimes) and natural chokepoints of the battlefields in BF make for such a good oportunity to use those boys.

@clintonpiercy6651 Жыл бұрын
Defend from the castle and keep your economy going. The castle dropper has the disadvantage of having to pull villages and spend resources in a siege. All you Gotta do is defend long enough to inevitably hit imp before he does. I personally like building 5 or 10 scorpions to keep the shenanigan's far enough away from my walls for castle drops to really matter. I go to imp as fast as I can with scorpions in castle and love seeing people try and drop a castle on me. Its pretty much insta win if you defend it properly.

@thomasmuller546 Жыл бұрын
Not a pro but value advice nevertheless: There are some civs that will most likely go for the castledrop and/or allin. First goal is to deny the castle on your wall and force him to castle at home. You do that by scouting, maybe invest in 2 more scouts for map control and be ready to villfight or towerdrop with 5-10 vills. If you succeed here it's a 90 % win already. If the castle is at home and he comes with Jannis / conqs or stuff you have several options : Castle at home, 2-3 tower with upgrades, skirm siege monk defense. If you don't go for the castle instant you should aim for it at the next step because your opponent will likely drop the second castle in ur face in an allin situation go imp and destroy you. Finally you want to go up to imp equally fast as your opponent. That means to idel ur TCS and lack efficiency but you can be 100% sure your opponents eco is worse. So in short : 1) don't let your opponent drop the castle in your face 2) prepare to defend against unique units, petards. 3) drop your own castle at home 4) go imp, better sooner then later. That should already help alot 🙂✌️
@kudoushinichi1412 Жыл бұрын
1. You can make your own castle to defend you. Make the castle and try to go imp and win the trebs war. 2. Open scouts or/and spearmen. You win map control and then your opponent will be forced to do it at his base. Sometimes they make spearmen to avoid that and wall the villagers, in that case you can try to go out with your villagers to fight and put a tower in front of their unbuilt castle. 3. Boom and defense. You usually have a better economy than the guy who puts a castle in your face (he mined stone instead of farming and walked the entire map with 10 villagers). You can wall, boom and defend yourself with some siege and monks, while you take stone, put a castle, up to imp and letting the economy do its job.

@thomasmuller546 Жыл бұрын
As a 1500 arena player imho the easiest way to play is invest nothing in relics, let the opponent overinvest, go straight for boom and you will have the timin and momentun on your side. Take map control while imping and gg. Of course be aware of castledrop allins. It should not be a unscouted blind boom. More like not invest in monk, relics and take a big eco lead instead. For sure on higher rating it's a mistake but up until mid elo maniacs I believe that's the most chill and stable tactic. 😊

Castling their wall early is just kamakaze style since arena gives the opponent a massive benefit in being already walled and having resources to rewall/boom before you can get to their vils
