[@Muenni]

How many villagers building the second TC would be ideal ressource-wise in the endgame? I've seen using 8 is common in the other video, but is using that many more villagers (not collecting ressources) worth the fast build-time? I assume 4 villagers would construct the slow second TC in 1:48 min instead of the 4:30 of a single villager, while 8 push it down to 1:00 min. (Every villager after the first building half as fast.) Is that correct? 48 sec earlier 2x villager output + 48 sec earlier double-bit axe + 4x 1:48 min of a villager not collecting versus 8x 1 min of a villager not collecting (+ walk-over time ofc course) 4 vil collect 144 res in 1:48 min; 20 vil with double-bit axe collect 24 res more in 48 sec + ~ 2 more villagers minus their 100 food cost versus 8 vil collect 160 res in 1 min So clearly, as long as you produce enough ressources for no idle time in villager production, construction with 8 vil is worth it. But how many would be ideal? I probably made some mistakes here, so feel free to correct them. Would walk-over time significantly change the result?

Got to love how the Elite Steppe Lancer is clearly based off of the Cumans with their distinctive masks, and yet Cumans get the most generic ones. Mongols do better in melee while Tatars can take more ranged damage. I wish they'd scrap the useless Cuman Mercenaries tech and replace it with a tech that benefited their steppe lancers in some way. Maybe give them a slight attack or melee armour increase for something like 500 food and 400 gold?

[@michaeltaylor8698]

@@rougeone2124 That would be beyond broken for pretty much any melee unit, but it would be especially broken for the Cumans since their steppe lancers train 50% faster already.

[@michaeltaylor8698]

@@gamaxgbg I like the idea of increasing the bonus by 5% per age. So they effectively get husbandry in the Feudal Age with +10%, +15% in castle age and +20% in imperial age. As it stand its only really a 5% increase over almost every other civ so it doesn't mean much. The only non American civs that lack husbandry are the Vikings (who never make cavalry anyway) and Teutons. So in practice the Cumans bonus is being 5% faster which is negligible.

[@diegeigergarnele7975]

Honestly siege is heavily carried by capped ram in castle. That bonus is amazing and I think you really underestimate it. Being able to push with kipchaks and capped ram in castle after feudal booming can basically clean up castles, which are usually the "go to imp" sign

Surprisingly enough, that is EXACTLY how I cleared most of the Cumans' Campaign: advance with Rams and covering them with Kipchaks for range and other cavalries for melee. And that was when I had never played the Cumans before, it just felt natural.

With the power creep of other civs (Teutons extra melee armor, Lithuanian relic bonus and LEITIS, other Paladin civs' open tech trees) even giving the berry bonus and chivalry creation time tech to Franks seem underwhelming. Sure, their online win rate is top-tier, but I still think that since the introduction of bloodlines in The Conquerors, Frankish cavalry should have a +25% hp bonus instead of +20%. Or perhaps +20% Castle, +25% Imperial; that way, it'd be like free bloodlines in Castle for knights, and in Imp, cavaliers would have 150hp vs 144 now, which is a lame bonus vs generic 140hp, and paladins would have 200hp vs 192 now and 180 generic.

Let me get this straith - I play most of RTS games, AoE2 included, more like city-building simulator than how most of players play them. That being said, I dont rush (obliteration of enemy comes in the very last phase of game), I try to make my town(s) to look nice and beliveable, and I just enjoy the creative options in the game. When AoE2DE came out, Cumans were literally first civ I played. I had no use for their first two technologies (I build new TC only after my main town is largely developed, and since my "no rush" style, earlier siege in useless to me anyway). So, perhaps my game-style could be classified as role-play? Idk, you tell me. But people could say I couldnt pick a worse civ for that style, and maybe they are right (although, with this style, which civ would be viable anyway?). But I still play them and enjoy that. I like their architectural style, I like the idea of semi-nomadic heathens and I simply enjoy it. Perhaps playing "full tech tree" is even better with this style (although it is big pain in behind that you cant cant upgrade steppe lancer before you upgrade battle elephants in ftt, since their icons are on same place). So yes! My playstyle is totaly lame, in multiplayer I would get pulverized even before I would get to Feudal Age and in singleplayer I can play only against standard or moderate AI. And I bloody love it!

[@bernardcaius8187]

I have the same approach to the game...Gather a lot of resources,ammass a large army and have a defendable city with two o three castles before even thinking about attacking...Defend your area until your enemies run out of resources and then starting the offensive...All said, it needs less than ten minutes to an Hard AI to destroy me XD

His conclusion makes this point clear. The big theme for this civ is mobility, even in the palies. I'm going to "main" this civ for a while and see what comes of it. The things I see so far is that you have to have good map awareness, and know how to develop your econ while you play aggressively in the field.

Hera showed a good strategy in one of his coaching sessions. (I think he was coaching Daniel). It's an all in fuedal play. First go fast feudal archer rush with 2 forward villagers. Build an archery range and 1 tower to secure a forward base. (Don't build more towers, it's just there to help secure the forward.) Mix in a spear or two to defend against scouts. Next, build a blacksmith, and a siege workshop. Make 1 ram, but don't commit with it. Just do any damage you can with the ram (kill a house or a lumber camp), and keep the pressure up with the archers. As you build up your economy, there are a couple options - add more rams, add scouts, or add your second TC. (Preferably all three). Once you have sufficient military numbers, you can try to kill the TC with 3 rams. Load the archers and any spears into the rams. If vils come out to kill the rams, pop the archers out and run in with your scouts. I've tried this strategy many times, and it's definitely not easy to pull off. The hardest part is the economy management. You need a lot of wood, for the blacksmith, siege workshop, rams, second TC, and stable. On top of that you need to keep applying pressure or else you will lose your forward and probably lose. If they get to castle age, you can still win, but you really can't lose your army.

Before december balance update: steppe lancers are so goooof After december balance update: Castle age s.l. are good only to hunt down vills and elite steppe lancers are useless

[@Zebrastreifen77]

that attack animation ont he kipchap just looks stupid. Give them a short fram delay like mangudai, add bracer and remove chemistry to balance the nerf.

One of my ancestors was a Crimean tartar - a nation which old name was the Cuman people (before the Mongols invasion 1226 A.D. into their lands). So they should have a stone walls, as they had in Crimea.

What? Kipchaks are pretty lame compared to the Cuman Steppe Lancer... Cheap, quick and can't be properly countered

[@reto6859]

at 9:42 you say cumans can produce steppe lancers in half the normal time! Is that really true? Because they train 50% faster is something different, As I know you know that! xD You made a video about it! If they are really produced 50% faster, they would be produced in 2/3 of the normal time right? And another question is: Do Kipchak count as cav archers and get affected by this tech, or are just normal ca affected? btw great video as always!

[@rickbiessman6084]

I gotta say, I love your intro so much I never skip it! I think you’re the only KZbin channel where I can say that. Please keep using it! No remakes, no nothing =) As a hobbyist musician and music producer I do think it could be produced "better", but I’m SUPER GLAD it is the way it is because it has loads and loads of character. Btw: Have I mentioned that I love your intro?

Like, the uhhh. . . The bad guys in King Cum Delivery. Edit: Kingdom Come Deliverance. Same thing.
