When you are live streaming with thousand of viewers, it's always better to assume you screwed up and the pressure of failing always make you assume you miscalculate something. Pretty sure if you ask Viper in a quizz the number of petards to kill a TC he will tell you 5 or 6 with confidence

Maybe I've just seen a lot of silly play at my ELO but I've seen quite a few cheesy Khmer strats, if I see them picked on a closed map I'm always thinking "Ballista Ele cheese strat", especially in a sudden death tourney. And ESPECIALLY especially after seeing such an early castle (because he was surely already on stone...suspicious). I do think it was could have been predicted, I'd have at least outposted the woodline.

Genuine question from a noob... at about 09:30 Ciskhan's archers are a bit stuck with nothing to do and he takes them back to base. But there are 2-3 houses he could shoot down. I know it's not going to be a game winner and Viper could just rebuild them further back but why not do that rather than walking them all the way home. It could pop cap viper for a moment, it means he has to commit some villgers and resuorces to re building them which overall adds a bit of slow down to vipers game. I often see moments like this and wonder why players don't just try to get some pickings from the edges of someones town.
@brianensign763810 ай бұрын
There are a few reasons I can think of. 1) Houses would take a while to destroy with archers, even with Saracen bonus. That’s time the archers aren’t spending on other things, and the damage to Viper would be very small. 2) Ciskhan doesn’t see the whole map like we do. He doesn’t know what Viper is doing, so he doesn’t know if there are enemy units sneaking toward his own base. 3) He doesn’t want his archers to get trapped inside Viper’s walls. 4) Retreating keeps Viper guessing about Ciskhan’s unit count and position. He might approach from the other direction, or set an ambush for Viper if he decides to counterattack. 5) Every archer that dies doing low-value things in Viper’s base is an archer that won’t be available later for either attack or defense. 6) An archer costs more than a house. If burning down two houses costs one archer, that’s a bad trade. It’s not worth the risk.
@Malaman197910 ай бұрын

I'm 5 months late, but if Viper had a stable in the back and was producing knights, since he was in castle already, he would have lost his whole army. It makes more sense, now that he has done some damage (destroyed farms, forced idle time, forced towers, destroyed walls) to go back and wait for upgrades (Crossbow, bodkin arrow) instead of (potentially) risking an army worth over 1000 resources. In other words, just 3-4 knights would have killed that whole army, and Ciskhan would have nothing. You'll see this fairly commonly from archer rushes, because going for 2 archery range archers means you need to devote a lot of resources to producing archers, meaning your opponent will get to castle before you.
