This Build Just Keeps On Getting CRAZIER!!

[@Acerheart]

Glad to see at least one pro finally catching onto the strength of the Sultanhani. Most people have no idea how to innovate lol. I think it’s important to note that by producing archers instead of sipahi from his mil schools, szalami reached vizier points faster, including bonus mil school and the mehter speed, which can make a huge difference in the timing of a strategy. Thanks for covering this game Merlin. Love the ottos content especially

[@m.b.8282]

He didnt reached it faster because sipahi gives 2 more points and makes up the time difference

Honestly, I don't see much of an advantage using Sultanhani other than having a little bit of an extra passive gold income during your power spike when you hit the castle age tbh. Please share how you think it could be useful!

[@Acerheart]

@@m.b.8282 could you point me to where I can see how many points each unit is worth? I can’t find any sources. When I get the time I’ll test it out in game. Certainly wasnt aware that different units produced more or less points. I always assumed each unit was worth one. Good to know if it’s true!

[@Acerheart]

@@tetefather well what can you do with gold? Age up? Buy techs? Buy gold units? Traders? We see that corvinus used it to go fast castle, buy blacksmith ranged upgrades, and produce lancers. With ottos, the passive gold is even more useful since your army is already fed by free units. Instead of having to spend on gold units, you are free to spend on age ups and techs. Aging up to castle also has the benefit of giving you free siege with the MIA. So a fast, safe castle age up enabled with the Sultanhani really works wonders for the ottos. Wam was simply out-teched because he spent his gold on knights whereas corvinus aged up and got techs. Free units are key to the strength of this strat

Been watching the egctv b-stream vod and didn’t know where else to post this. I really enjoyed your casting and thought you did even better observing than the a-stream(no offense to vodka). Was thoroughly impressed when I found out you were doing both at the same time.

[@MrMerlinAOE]

Thank you! I really enjoyed casting on Sunday with Beyond, Glad you enjoyed it :)

This was a much smoother game than the one against the English (which Corvinus actually should have lost). Corvinus went for the deer early and was able to fall back to the sheep once he got pushed off. He was in full control of the game the entire time. It will be nice to see how people respond to this build. I have some ideas on how to do this but I won't mention them here.

Great build.

[@xstiltyx]

Changing your name after some fancy OO2 greatness is really not the right move I guess 🤔

[@Acerheart]

It’s to hide his strats for the upcoming tournament. Other people are doing it too

[@xstiltyx]

@@Acerheart I get that but Mr Merlin did put it as it’s more a rebranding similar to what DeMu did :)

[@Acerheart]

@@xstiltyx Oh gotcha, didn’t catch that part

[@Corvinus1]

doesn't affected me, i still have the same amount of viewers. People will not click on me because of OO2

[@thegorn]

dafaq is OO2?
