Nice video! As you start with 200 stone and never use it in this strategy, there is some space for improvement. Collect 50 more stone and go for 2 towers in a spots where you can't hit directly with the man-at-arms. For example in the last game a single tower behind his wood line (which he wouldn't even notice before it'd be up) would win the game. Send 2-3 vills to tower up and add 2-3 vills from the TC to keep your eco on the proper level

Against me you will win endless amounts of games with this strategy.

This is a great series. I'm definitely looking forward to watching more.

really nice idea for a series. I think a forward baracks would have improved this strat a lot ;) I don't like that you broke your own rules and went castle + mangonel. The fun part about this weird cheese strat is the commitment. just rush down the tc with man at arms while the corpses of your units pile up when they will not resign

@@ZeroEmpires I agree with the original comment. You could maybe change the rule of no more vils in feudal so you can develop a better economy and mass produce those men at arms. It would be awesome to see you take down TCs with just pure brute force in feudal. Anyway, great video!

More of these please. I really enjoy you illustrating and teaching these strat

Damn that was amazingly entertaining. Watching 9 matches compressed into 25minutes really kept it exciting non-stop even tho it was always the exact same strat. Would love to see more of that :)

Awesome dude! Love seeing your videos again. Keep it up please!

I really hope this is the start of a new favourite series of mine. Great idea zak I love the format and the editing. Ideas for other cheese strats could be endless hoang rush never going feudal or tati rush? :)

Puns and cheese... Cheesepuns... Yes please. Couldnt have asked for a better series, keep it up my man

Super entertaining kind of video. Would love to see more like this. :)

Thank you for the quality content!

I loved it! Would definitely like to see more. I'd also like it if you allowed yourself margin of deviation from the cheese, so that if you think you can win the game with a tweak, you can apply it.

was so pumped to find another cool age yt and see a cool unique series but then see there’s only one video in the playlist and he hasn’t uploaded in a year ;(

At this point should've played the last game just to see where it would rank in the leader boards, good series!

very nice format, pls do more!

What an amazing series. I hope you come back to do more.

Huge video, thanks from a foreigner, very clear ! +1 sub

This was awesome to follow alongside!

Loved this. Looking forward to more in the series!!

I liked to see how this strategy could be followed with aging up, mangonel, etc. Yes, it breaks the rule. But helps to learn how to use the strategy effectively. I think it's much better than another "challenge" video.

Cool video! Greetings from Bulgaria. :)

What a great idea! Keep it up!

@@matthaeushilpold2134 Lithuanians allows a faster dark age rush of militia and possibly faster Feudal. However the M@A upgrade is 140 resources and involves a training time and idling barracks production. Bulgarians are strong not only because they skip the cost of M@A upgrade but because the upgrade is instant upon arriving Feudal. Militia trained in dark age will arrive just in time to be upgraded by the bonus. Not to mention in this strategy it's not a typical M@A rush to slow the opponent with 3-5 but is an ongoing spam of them to overwhelm and close out the game. A Lithuanian style would promote a fast castle behind Militia whilst Bulgarians better promotes the M@A spam. Both have a bonus to help the strategy yes, I would argue Bulgarians bonus is that little bit better in this case.

@@matthaeushilpold2134 its a very 'cheesy' all in strategy. It might pay off for you in winning some games but if you cant find the damage considering your large investment then you will lose. You wouldnt see this at a pro level as they easily counter it with walling vills and getting archers out to kite MaA. The heavy investment into so many MaA would delay castle too much and then they would quickly lose to knights or simply get outboomed. 3 militia should be enough to delay your opponent. If you make 10 you essentially need to kill them for it to pay off.

Nice idea, yeah keep going with this.

Only man at arms? Is this mangonel a disguised man at arms? ;) Nice video, I love, how you explain your actions, keep going!

Fun games, keep doing these. Also i think that this strat has a sort of "ELO" cap, at certain point you will face people who actually wall or counter you strat with the obvious deficiences, like low eco, almos not scouting and slow speed, 3 miners in a far gold for example.

Been trying something similar with goths, but I was going up relatively normal at 21 pop and was also making the MAA from 2 baracks, that I put at 2 different locations next to his base. Obviously I'm lacking the speed and often the enemy is ready to defend himself or counter raid me. Nonetheless, it worked many times and is definitely a lot of fun! Perhaps I'll try your build soon, or adjust so that I could make vils behind it... Anyways, this is an amazing idea and I really hope you turn this into a big series, it was super fun to watch!

This is great, you should do more!

Awesome Hope to see more =)

Does feel like a “Sandbagger Series”. Very fun/entertaining to watch, but not sure if it’s enjoyable for the other players.

Wow love the concept of taking a cheesy strategy and seeing it play out several times in one condensed video.

i do something similar with the magyars with scout cavalry and a blacksmith. also as you progressed in games you adjust your strat like making spearmen lol

Loved the video! Do another one with only archer rush!

very good play. i guess you reacted well when the situation turned bad at some games. It seems to be a workable strategy at the intermediate level(or even upper-inter) I feel like the intermediate level doesnt react very well to Drush, and they kind of collapse when the start doesnt go smoothly

A bit similar to this strat, but you could try to go Feudal as fast as possible with Lithuanians (and their +150 food bonus), maybe with 14 vils, then make archers from two ranges. Or tower rush + walls.

Someone did this to me yesterday. I won so i feel like 300 elo higher now :D

So damn funny. Im a noob but still gonna try this. I think of a full feudal thrash all-in maybe could work.

Great strategy! Where this build order can be found? I'm very interested on trying it, but I asume it doesn't work with 9 on Food, 2 on Wood and 3 on Gold right off the bat, right? I understand from the video you re-assign vills here and there to prevent falling short on Wood for Barracks and Mill/ Lumber Camp or getting TC idle time... Great content anyway and I'd love to see more videos for this series!

Yeah I like this. Take more ingrediens for your fondue and try with different cheesy like strats! I love it!

I want to see you repeat the same strategy but with a twist which is that you are allowed to build as many offensive/defensive towers as necessary in feudal age and you can train as much villagers as you want. Also in castle age you are allowed to create as many mangonels and scorpions as you want
