This is why everyone hates playing vs Byzantines..

29:23 Wow, those two BBC losses were brutal. One was deserved, but the second hit just came out of nowhere. Where was that treb even aiming? That rock was so far off from hitting the first BBC it hit the second.

Ok, hear me out here... - Game opens - Scout and two sheep are sent scouting & looking for sheep/deer/boars - When Viper finds deer, he immediately starts pushing. Every time. - This 3-deer push process is minimum 2 minutes of game time and micro intensive, during which he's not even sure if he's scouted all of his sheep. This happens A LOT. Why not scout the sheep first? It's virtually zero effort and minimal time spend. After that, go push deer. Honestly, this seems more effort and time-optimized. Am I wrong?

[@emerson685]

It’s because hunt food is collected significantly faster, so the upside of doing deer first is that your feudal time is faster. Yes you could be down a few sheep if you don’t find them, but the meta is currently to push sheep, so there is a good chance your opponent is doing that too. At the highest level, pros realize that timing is more important than accumulating a few extra free resources. Hence why taking berries in dark age is not part of many build orders nowadays.

[@Orkeanos]

It’s because they don’t lame in ranked.

I want to see a defensive byzantine player. Aka the free town watch + building hp

[@majungasaurusaaaa]

The thing is what are you gonna defend into? Spanish turtle in feudal into conq where they can grab map control and raid while keeping their already turtled eco even safer with a castle. Byz can defend in feudal into what? Trash in castle? Trash is bad at raiding and will likely lose against castle age gold heavy comp.

[@PommesPeterZK]

Holdin Shift when placing farms around a Mill or TC now puts them perfectly around it for you very quickly.

"...Zoomed out..."AoE doesn't have zoom out compared to SupremeCommander

[@gonsalomon]

Supreme Commander has a long range artillery, that gets up to 500 range; which justifies the need for that zoom out. AoE has Tatar trebs with 19 range, which wouldn't justify more zoom out than what's available. Game features cover the game's own needs, I guess

[@karlhoffman9817]

@@gonsalomon Strategic zoom is OP, I used to like Aoe until I found SupCom. Just a better game with better mechanics

[@hqribo2680]

MBL is still losing somewhere

[@couchpotatoe91]

TIL Viper thinks Light Cavalry does bonus dmg against skirms. 😁 That's like when Hera made a video about armor and attack upgrades and estimated pikes did around 8-10 bonus dmg against cav when it's more than double that. I guess you don't need to know all the numbers when you have intuition and experience.

[@josselinruaudel9778]

I think he was talking about bengalis' light cav that have bonus against skirm

[@SuperSissen]

he was talking about bengali LC and rathas that do have bonus damage against skirms
