  • Opponent Civ: Japanese
  • Result: Loss
  • Game Duration: 25 minutes

Opening Strategy

My original plan was making units and block his gold when he FC When I saw second TC, I immediatly went for Pro Scouts and FC no units.

Opponent Strategy

He went for second TC and onna-bugeisha

What Went Well

  • I generally think I played well this game
  • I took almost all of his deer
  • Good micro killing spears with archers
  • Took 4 relics
  • Went for song, not a bad idea, even though we were going for the kill, its still a good way to scale
  • Had a good knight harass, didn't lose many of them and killed vills.
  • Took sacred sites

What Went Wrong

  • I could have seen this coming sooner from the amount of vills on gold he had
  • Slightly too many guys on food in the castle transition, a bit more on wood and I would have built a monastary sooner
  • Had no scout with my knights
  • Bad Knights charge micro
  • I spent a bunch of times killing a barracks, I should have went into his economy.
  • Could have supervised better.
  • After I took a good fight, I started accumulating wayyyyy too much food and gold, and I was missing wood.
  • If I had wood, I could have made more produciton buildings and probably end the game with units
  • Should have made palace guards due to insane amount of spears he had instead of Knights, with a bunch of archers.
  • Crossbows for his Knights (though he didn't have many knights)
  • His vills were outside the base going for berries and boar, should have had scouts on key resources, or a single unit
  • Should have walled (no wood lol)
  • Lost a bunch of knights in a bad raid

What Should Be Done In The Future

  • Maybe Barbican should have been placed agressively ontop of his production
  • I lost the game due to no wood for more production buildings
  • Had such large food and gold floats
  • Should have made a market
  • Unit comp was wrong, Palace Guards, archers and NoB
  • Didn't scout where his vills were going, no scouts on key resources. I even had imperial palace.
  • I took a good fight and went for the kill while I was mid farm transition. Terrible play, lost the game.
