  • Opponent User: Gento
  • Opponent Civ: Rus
  • Result: Loss
  • Game Duration: 17 minutes

Opening Strategy

Going for Pro Scouts and units to deny his pro scouts into castle. Making horsemen to counter his HA

Opponent Strategy

Pro Scouts into FC into HA and Knights

What Went Well

  • I was free to pro scouts my own deer.
  • Basically nothing

What Went Wrong

  • Denying his deer was a mistake. Since the map is carmel, there is no real way to deny enough deer.
  • Since carmel is so insanely food heavy, he would always have a comfortable transition to castle.
  • By then, killing his HA would be too hard.
  • He has a very smooth castle with a lot of resources.
  • Bad horseman micro
  • Missed him stealing my relics
  • Made too many scouts

What Should Be Done In The Future

  • Since Chinese can outscale Rus, I should have played for the long game
  • Going for the early units was a mistake. I should have aimed directly at castle.
  • Upon reaching castle, I could have gone for a large amount of horsemen to try and kill his HA.
  • I think however, since we were playing in carmel, it was actually correct to just bunker down.
  • Drop another TC (since the map has so much food) and a Barbican on the Berries + Boar.
  • Drop a bunch of springald towers, including on the big gold.
  • Wall up and play for the long game while harassing, going for graneries if the Rus is booming.
