Syracuse played so odd but incredibly effective in forcing the attackers to abandon attacking multiple angles. And with far less troops he held the attackers back.

[@actionman4520]

He did pro move.He made em abandon siege towers, amassed their forces on just one side of walls and used wall towers to pepper em.If other players from defenders joined him they could've won way sooner.Many players just let attackers breach and fight in city streets instead commiting troops at walls.Thumbs up for this guy way of thinking.

[@woodys9841]

Most importantly, he wasted 20 minutes that the attackers have to take the settlement.

Pretty brilliant defense tbh. Funneled the attackers into a small section of one side of the wall and limited their options.

Somewhere in Asia there was a martial artist who allegedly defeated forty thugs with the help of an assistant. The truth was both men retreated in a narrow alley where only two-three thugs could go at once. The two martial artists earned enough time for the cops to arrive, and the remaining thugs fled the scene. Source: quora. IP man and other films are cool but in reality a one vs many fight is only won by making sure you fight as little people at the same time as possible, and that's until help arrives or you can run to safety.

[@PickledShark]

Responding to your question at 16:07, so I haven’t seen how this all goes. The sally forth might have been a good idea for two reasons 1) slows and confuses the assault, forcing the attackers into restricted avenues of attack and perhaps running out the clock 2) allows for a lot of time fighting beneath the wall where fire from wall top archers, artillery, and towers could be granted the time to rack up enough kills to turn the tide of the battle.

That defensive win. It looked like the attackers was going to take the win for a moment but the defenders pulled off a great last minute stand. That sally out on the flanks was meant to pincer the attackers the focus the center walls giving the defenders a fighting chance on the flanks. As the end game message reads *The best way to avoid being flanked is to stop the enemy flanking force from arriving.*

[@reignadams6692]

The first engagement of the sally out went great imo the second went terrible though the second engagement field placement kept the attackers from engaging that entire side of the wall so they wasnt to terrible

[@grizzlyoccelot3015]

If I had to guess. The defending force probably pushed out to hopefully push the attackers tighter together on the corner so the could hold less choke points.

[@agentwash1]

I think that aggressive play from Syracuse at the start put the attackers on the back foot from the start and they spent the rest of the game trying to cease back the initiative, but just couldn't wrestle it from the defenders

[@trackingthealgorithm221]

Units on walls tend to get shredded by concentrated archer fire. Even if the archers are grounded and outside the city. That’s why you need throw away units holding wall. Lure attacker in, then pepper them when they start overtaking the throw away units defending the wall.

[@eugenecoleman8525]

In regards to the slingers on the wall. When they're able to hit units in the sides or back, they will get a ton of kills, and I think this is what the defenders were going for.

[@austinharris4754]

I think the sally out helped his team out in the end. He was able to get decent kills and with the attackers waiting so long he was able to buy his team quiet a bit of time.

There is an advantage in numbers. I know it was the elite troops that pulled it out in the end, but bringing all those cheap units let the defenders be very aggressive. If that aggression had ever lead to successful attacks on the archers, they'd have won pretty easily, from how I saw the archers change momentum repeatedly. Plus aggressive defense is just more fun to watch.

@Apollo to add some variety and new content I would love to see some modded matches. Radious, divide et impera, and sebidee's unit roster overhaul are all balanced enough that they would be fair and competitive. I personally suggest sebidee's roster mod as it is most balanced around vanilla and just adds units in to the existing rosters. I think it would be interesting to see the unit variety and a fun way to change things up.

I don't think he was trying to ambush with those units in the forest courtyard. It does have a use hiding them however and was a good idea. Any time you can keep units hidden, it keeps the enemy player from knowing how much you habe left, as well as where those units are. Its a great way to confuse players and keep them on their toes. If they didn't notice those units you could flank with them later.
