Would you prefer the frank bonus or the berber bonus for a knight rush?

@MorleyGames1

4 жыл бұрын

Austin Pugmire that’s a good question, both are good but I would probably say franks because you could get an extra knight a little earlier through not having to research bloodlines, however in this video I probably could have researched that whilst advancing to castle age so that it is in, ready for when I can make knights. The resources saved with franks could help with getting extra defence techs a little earlier and I guess the Berber bonus wouldn’t account for that saving until you have made 17 knights. In the long run, Berber bonus is better but in early castle, franks wins.

Please include which which civilization is best and which map is best to do this rush?? Love your series, love to watch move!!!

@MorleyGames1

Thanks mate! It also works with camels so Any cavalry civ, so mongols, huns, franks, Teutons, Slavs, Magyar, berbers, saracens, Bulgarian, cumans, Lithuanians, Tatar, Indians and possibly Portuguese. Probably some others I could include there but those are the ones from the top of my head. In terms of maps, any map as long as you can wall up so you don’t get feudal rushed but it can be risky on open maps like Arabia if you can’t wall. Obviously wouldn’t work on arena but it could work on hill fort and hideout as they should get through the walls easily enough.

Any reason to research Loom and not go straight to Feudal / make villagers? I'm a bit of a noob

@MorleyGames1

3 жыл бұрын

Hi mate. It makes your villages stronger so if you get attacked early by scouts or archers, they will be a bit more resilient to the attack as they will take more hits. With the knight rush, if you can’t get walled quickly, the chances are you will be attacked before you have been able to click up to castle age and that will be deadly, especially without loom :-) however if you’re doing this on a man like hideout where you are already fully walled, you can skip loom or make another villager.

The only one I can claim as my own is the Teuton one, the others are just told in my style of teaching. The Lithuanian one is Hera’s build.

Wouldn’t surprise me if there are smurfs loitering at around 900-1000 elo. Was often the case in HD. What helped me was watching back the recorded games to see where I went wrong. I can’t claim to be an expert, I have decent game knowledge but tend to make silly decisions lol I’m usually around 1300 (no expert by any means) but sometimes I hit a run of bad form and drop to about 1175. My faults are generally not spreading out my economy enough and not making enough military buildings. Definitely watching back my games helped me improve.

Because a scout can kill a weak villager easier if it is chopping wood or collecting gold. Keep the weak ones by the town centre where the can be garrisoned quickly from incoming scouts

@MorleyGames1

3 жыл бұрын

Hi! Great question! Multiple reasons really. It’s more efficient as the villagers bump into to each other less, slowing them down. Also if you’re on 2 different woodlines, the woodline won’t be depleted as quickly, which, if you’re using them as part of a wall, is good. Also, if your wood villagers get attacked, the damage won’t be as bad compared to if they are all in the same place.

Ummm what if your opponent does a small rush with Militia or swordsmen with some Archers while u r trying to do this?

@MorleyGames1

3 жыл бұрын

Hi, any fast castle strategy is very risky on an open map in 1v1 (I think I say that on the video) These are usually done by the pocket (middle) player in team games. It can be very strong on maps like hideout in 1v1 though. If you have a map that’s easily walled, it can work on Arabia, although Cenotes is probably easier to wall up.

@gabemerritt3139

3 жыл бұрын

You train a few militia or archers to chase them off, move or garrison villagers only if it saves them from dying. Hopefully you kill them without taking too big of a hit on your economy. Might slow you down so that they get castle about the same time too

How to wall up beside that build order? In Multiplayer you wouldve been gg already playing like this

@MorleyGames1

3 жыл бұрын

You would indeed, in a 1v1 and maybe 2v2. I mention in the video that this is for team games, usually the player in the pocket (middle position). The players on the flanks will be attacking the enemy and you will be able to wall up the front of your base with your buildings. If you still want full walls, you can make an extra villager in dark age to be the builder.

Why do you build your houses so randomly far apart and not right next to town center?

@MorleyGames1

Because the only “buildings” that should be up against the town centre should be farms so that the villagers can quickly drop off resources at the town centre. :)
