Been doing these exact builds for a while, both variations. It feels great to have knights out before a second tc.
@williamwolfe93354 ай бұрын
Great video, possibly the best. I found it really helpful that you say what opening to use against each civ. I was surprised that you thought horticulture should come before wheelbarrow. I was also really surprised that you built a second scout from your TC. I get that it's faster than building 2 from the hunting cabin, but I'm surprised that getting that scout out faster is more valuable than an extra villager.

Thanks a bunch for this guide. My favorite civ is Rus but I couldn't really find any comprehensive builds that branch into multiple strategies and so I kind of felt lost doing anything other than my old 2TC build. The aggro variant seems very fun.

@uglyjoe11414 ай бұрын
I have recently switched to the rus a couple weeks ago and struggled to learn them. They are good at eco but not the best and same with aggression and also dont feel they have the "required unit" like other civs do during castle. My main philosophy was "I cant out eco the eco civs so I will all in them in fuedal." or "the tempo civs cant hurt me if I go eco" Im so thankful to see a build order break it down and explain it. Jack of all trades civ is rough when "fastest second tc, fastest castle, ect" doesnt work the same for Rus as it would for china/abbasid or HRE/OTD

im not gonna lie i feel overloaded when I hear tc or fast castle but you make it sound really easy tbh.

Awesome video, thanks! And great timing as I've been learning Rus :) I typically play 2v2, and feel like 2TC - FC leaves me with too little military for too long (they can easily gang up on my teammate who doesn't have Kremlin). I'd think 2TC aggro could be ideal in many situations, or would you have another suggestion?
@tomoffinland1234 ай бұрын
Can someone explain the matchup chart for me? Why are Order of the dragon and Japan in the 2tc fc line up? Aren't those factions that you want to pressure from the very beginning because they are weaker in feudal? At least peronally I want to deal with feudal Japan instead of CA Japan. Same with Order of the dragon before they a lot more units going.

It would make it so much easier to follow along as I practice against the AI. Thanks a lot for the content.

I’ve read up on the Delhi’s civilization bonuses and strengths…is the reason they are a good civ for early aggression and to end games quickly is because they can garrison Scholars in military buildings and pump them out quicker as well as the Tower of victory landmark giving all infantry 20% attack speed? Am I understanding that correctly? Sorry for being a newb.

It depends, because if you first instigate feudal aggro play, you do not have the Kremlin as French to just back out. I recommend playing only aggressive or aggresive/trade with french
