I might be missing something but I'm surprised that not so many players are using the stone walls for that extra defense. They aren't that expensive and can put them down pretty fast in the early/mid game. If the Chinese player had done this close to the river he would had been able to stand much longer and buy him some time I think.

6:30 Wouldn't an L shape be a better wall? You'd be able to put a gate in for yourself easier at least. If you can put towers in the shallow water, you can defend the forward wall, then build a stone wall across the top of the L (so now it's a [ shape) and you can control the choke point from a more secure position. It seems drawing a cross through the center doesn't give you any benefit compared to the people on the other side of the river.

I think the HRE is stronger this patch than before, so it's weird to say they were nerfed. There was a tiny balance change that was a nerf, but the buffs to the Men at Arms and Prelates from the bug fixes will have a much bigger effect I think. Also, I if the meta starts to shift towards Men at Arms or Fast Castle or Fast Imp, those will all play into HRE's strengths. There is no way that HRE is lower on the tier list than it was last patch.

The Donau, the German name of Danube, is the main river of Austria, which was also part of the HRE and later the main crown-lands of Kings and Emperors of Habsburg. The austrian parts of Danube are swampy and flat, a very warm reagion, ideal for wine, fruits and mediterran products like almonds and safran. If you are interested in that specific german culture, look for "Wachau", an UNESCO area in lower-austria, cities like "Melk" and "Krems".

The stone wall with the stone tower outcropping won't work (that great) anymore. Rams went from 15 ranged armor to 30 Springalds do ranged dmg, not siege ^^ So a tower would only do 60-30+20 (bonus dmg vs siege) 50 dmg. That to 700 hp 14 shots. That's a lot of shots... you'd be better off focussing the units around it and torching it. It's a bit messy for china now, but maybe scouts vs the rams and to tank the MAA while the Zhuge shoot. And well..I am not a proponent of china 2TC in most matchups. You can mirror your opponents, but you're better off going 1TC emergency military into castle age in most cases. Armor and (or) rams are such an issue for china.

@Muenni

2 жыл бұрын

I think it went up to 30 armour. Still, 24 shots to destroy a ram takes a while, even 8 take 50 sec if you throw down 3 stone towers or outposts with springalds - which requires you to reach Castle Age first, as well. That's as long as a single Zhuge Nu takes to kill a MAA, lol. 31 torches from 10 scouts or horsemen will take it down in about 6 seconds after reaching the ram. The scouts cost half as much, but the horsemen survive 32 instead of 22 archer shots each and deal 11 times the damage against the archers, so they're useful against both rams and archers (and not too terrible against MAAs). I'd probably go with a mix of scouts and horsemen. The Zhuge Nu aren't a great choice against neither rams nor MAAs of course, but then again nothing properly counters MAAs in Age II. Still need a fast Castle for that. I'd still produce Zhuge Nu if my enemy started mixing in spears against my cav.

Zhuge are also slower than archers, but have better dps. In a pinch you can fight a group of MAA's with an archerball 2 - 3x MAA size fairly well. As well as zhuge downright blasting down archers (mind the shirter range and slower msp on zhuge though). Horsemen got nerfed kinda hard...120 resources same as MAA. I'd almost prefer hand cannon towers. But in the end you should try not to get into this situation! Scout scout scout. 5MAA coming at you? Get 10 - 15 archers or 10 zhuge and press them back.

You could even send an official down too for bonus food, or it was highly unlikely cone would’ve gone down there to stop it. fish plus a boar would’ve changed reds game completely.

The new map is awesome but it's still so incredibly frustrating to watch ram rushes, tbqh. The "nerfs" didn't do shit to put an end to this dumb and braindead strategy and 80% of games are just decided by whoever manages to build rams and rush first / more effectively. There's basically 0 counterplay to it because the only counterplay is pulling villagers to stop those rams which in turn then get murdered. So the person who has the rams ALWAYS wins the trade. It's a really sad thing to see and I really hope that they continue to nerf those rams (and actually nerf them, not just.. pseudo-nerf.)

@pikie1011

It wasn't an issue for me in a games I played or watched. If you have a military lead and invest in the rams, then you should be able to counter someone who is falling that far behind. Here China invested in two landmarks, and two TCs...while the opponent was going for early aggression. He could have done a better job of scouting, been more flexible with his build order, or built some melee units to counter the rams.
