One trick which works nicely for Khmer: Instead of building a mill for a herd of deer, you can send a bunch of villagers, and when they are full, just drop a farm right there. When they are done building, they are automatically dropping of the food, then send them back to the deer. Repeat as needed, then have them stay on the farms. (Of course this works in principle with other civs too, and also with lumber or mining camps, but the Khmer advantage is that the farm just can be used where it is.)
@ignacionadeo13063 жыл бұрын
It's a bit of an issue that you're then left with potentially unprotected farms, but it's VERY good when your deer spawn behind, or in Arena. Also IIRC 4 villagers will completely empty a single deer, as well - so it can generally be done pretty effectively with some micro. Micro that is unfortunately beyond me 11

Very important to know about ballista elephant: Their Bolt does Not Go through the unit you're targetting. It only (additionally) damages units in front of the target. Since you're usually targetting close units, BALLISTAS DONT WORK LIKE SCORPIONS AT ALL, unless you adjust the way you use them in some very awkward way

@Emperor AlHasan i think the reward can actually be quite huge. Especially when fighting against a ranged+melee composition, targetting the (squishy) ranged units will not only increase your damage output but also quickly reduce opponents damage output. If the entire enemy army outranges you though, than the effort is much more questionable

UU's are always going to be limited by the fact that you need a castle to produce (most of) them. Because they aren't usually available until mid-late castle age you dont get as much experience with utilizing them as other units, and therefore players are more comfortable working with standard units that they can build earlier into each game. Over 100 games, chances are you spend 2x as much game time controlling knights or archers than you do microing with a unique unit, so it may be a comfort thing (at least it feels like it to me sometimes).
