I literally just had a guy today, repair the castle getting treb'd, spending a good 200'ish stone, then said castle goes down, and he immediately built another one in the same spot 5 seconds after the first one went down, which also got destroyed soon after. And after all that, he built a 4th forward castle on one of my flanks, without any army backing it up.

Man that boar pull into farm build was some next level stuff.

I love all the rollplaying you do explaining the interpersonal complexities of the units XD

For what it's worth, T90, I appreciate the Saul Goodman references. Now we gotta find a Slippin' Jimmy

At 400 Elo I am playing lots of Arena matches and I notice this strategy a lot, where players build all their military buildings in the center. Unless they're Goths this is usually a bad idea. As Lithuanians I like to stay inside the home base and not even build stuff close to the walls. That way the enemy has no idea what I'm up to. And I really appreciate the geography that gives me a lot of extra space to the wings of the main base, getting 3 walled off bases is best with multiple TCs. I sometimes come out to get relics, I sometimes take some stone and gold right outside the walls, but for the most part I stay put. Then well into Imp the enemy comes forward with their mixed army and my 100% hussar storm begins. The production buildings in the center, even the castles, don't last long. All I can think every time this plays out is, 'you start with walls here for a reason, USE THEM!' We get plenty of space in most Arena setups to be able to stay behind the walls, you just have to be efficient with your building placement. Sim City that shit and make it tight like Downtown Beijing. 85 farms is doable.

I would like to see 4v4 where there are two pro players and they each get 3 low Elo team mates. The pro can actually direct what he wants done and the minions then general it up on the battlefield. We would get to see the managerial skills of the pro players and take some of the serious decision making away from the lower level players who might not know so well what to do. We can see how the commanders talk to their underlings too and how effective their leadership is. Like, will a pro commander cuss out his team mates and tell them they're stupid? Or will he be supportive and positive? And which approach will work better?

Yeah, red had an eco lead for much of the game. He just needed to spend. Also, remember the APM counter in Capture Age is effective APM. Toggling through buildings doesn't add to it. Queueing up 5 units or selling 500 resources at once probably counts as 5 actions though. I know the higher APM player doesn't get much of a win rate boost from it, but it should be a relevant stat for those of us still growing to see how well we use our hotkeys and how experienced we are with multitasking. While it can be cheesed unnaturally high, that doesn't usually happen to the extent that it wouldn't be helpful.

12:53 and so the truth about why Low ELO Legends exists comes out.

I feel like Red was using a strategy that works better on the AI than a human player. I could've sworn there were a few times this game where he intentionally took bad fights hoping to draw Blue into prolonged castle fire. Had it worked, Blue might have given up in frustration for all we know. As someone who's done similar strategies, it just doesn't work.

I was watching the last vid then saw this pop up and sorry sockssy and Valas etc, but the real pros are playing now.

You're thinking of chris Higgins, played for Canadians about a decade or so ago. Btw, go Bears! Their goalie just had 3 straight shutouts.

Hey your videos are awesome and have been super heplful! But I was wondering if you could do a mini series on how to deafeat each level of the computer AI? I dont play much online at the moment and I just cant get past the Hard Ai. Would be awesome to see a mini series showcases each difficulty and how it gets harder and how to properly defend/attack against it.

@sonofskeletor33

Depends which map you're playing, but here are a few suggestions. 1. Use your scout to lame the AI in Dark Age, by stealing/killing sheep and also attacking their vills as they try to lure boars. It can really slow them down. Takes some practice while also keeping your own TC working though. 2. If you're having trouble getting Feudal Age rushed, build a watch tower at the front of the base. The AI army will often run away from a tower, particularly archers/skirms. You can also practice building small walls in towards your TC, which again acts as a major deterrent. 3. Practice your Dark Age. Personally I don't like copying other people's builds, as it takes the fun out of working things out yourself. I prefer a fast Castle Age time, and attacking then. Other people prefer to fight in Feudal, which I've always found more difficult against harder AI. Either way, working out your Dark Age build is crucial. 4. Have a plan. If you're opting for Feudal Age pressure, then work out which units you want, how quickly you can produce them, and what you're planning to do with them. Archers on the enemy woodline and/or berries is always a good start. If on the other hand you're opting for Castle Age pressure, decide whether you're going to knight rush, or castle drop, or event a combination of strategies. It takes a bit of practice working out how many vills you need to have enough of the relevant resources, and how quickly you can get to that stage. 5. Attacking the AI early is usually the easiest way to beat it. But if you prefer to boom up and fight in Imp, make sure you practice walling, and get a defensive castle up as early as possible. You need to be able to match the AI for villager production, so practice booming. And in Imp, make sure you build forward production buildings, and lots of them. You need to be able to spam units, because the AI will be spamming units at you. Hope this helps.

Why are they not walling each other in ??? it is the only propper meta !!! 🙂 I have a suggestion for vids! You with you skills take a LowEloLegend strat to the next level and show us how to overpower it ! Wall in the oponent and max eco behind the correct upgrades etc etc Sit sit sit sit and Boom 500 canon galions Make a Wall sit and get fatter and sloppier = More Swedish Maybe even the 8 starting baraks strat Do them 1 by 1 and we can see what works on higher play Copy the best and most strange strats with that as the main fokus point, but also dont make the mestakes they do, idle vils, stragler trees etc etc I would love series, where you take those strats and fight higher lvl players But not the 3 Archer ranges on middel Island, that strat sux to low elo !!

Theres this game I've been trying to find. I think it was a Viper game where someone got inside his walls, I think with a siege tower, and got him completely backed into a corner, but he fought his way out with bombard cannons and won the game anyway. Does anyone know what game I am talking about?

I'm 400 ELO and I see smurfs pretty frequently, they are even more common lower than 400. They start a game, resign, and wait the timeout, then sometimes they go all out and overpower lower level players to try to get on T90. I got a game set up with "Low Elo Legends" once (that was his name). I was about 200 ELO and this other player was apparently afk until well into Castle Age. I was getting ready to attack, went over to check out his base, said "you there?" (I wasn't about to attack an afk player without checking first) and then he proceeded to destroy me. Don't get me wrong, I found his base and razed it, but he kept migrating to new areas of the map and building new bases everywhere. Before long he was in Imp and I was getting pushed back. I think players do this to feel powerful. Like playing against Easy AI. Kind of pathetic IMO. Let the low Elos play the other Low Elos.

Skyler objectively did nothing wrong. She acted how most people would act if they found out their SO was cooking meth.

Huh. I thought something was Amish.

To those in chat saying they didn't like Skylar from Breaking Bad, neither did I and that's kind of the point. She's perfect for the role she plays. She's the little-goody-2-shoes perfect mom who is so good she's bad. That's what makes the "I am the one who knocks" scene so good! Because Skylar really _didn't_ have any idea who her husband was, and she was so wrapped up in her little world of playing house that the revelation that her husband was the kingpin behind the local meth industry blew her mind and left her numb. That's one of the most iconic scenes of the show. kzread.info/dash/bejne/ZWWK0dxqeJeWqqw.html
