    I feel like ACCM had a great opportunity to kill you with an all in castle age by preserving his CA numbers and making it really hard for you to do the pike transition when he does the knight play.

    I can’t emphasize enough how much I love this series! It’s so unique and awesome to get this level of detailed insight into the thought process and decision making of a pro player. It also creates a great way to display live in game examples of the concepts you discuss in your other videos (defenders advantage, scouting, civ matchup / win conditions). Keep it up!

    The insight on this one was really good and recorded games always give us more time to look at all aspects (and information) available which I think makes a huge difference. I specially liked the insight on unit transitions - so many times I fell into the trap of immediately transitioning to a counter unit but if you don't keep up with enemy numbers with the original army you had, you will die during the transition. Also adding a 4th TC once you realized Castle Age would last longer than planned, watching it an in hindsight it all seem so obvious but during the match things fall apart, so it really does feel like being inside the mind of a pro, great job!

    Love this series! I love when I can listen to quality commentary on professional games, especially the decision-making process. When you do live commentary, it typically slows down in Castle Age and disappears in Imperial Age as there are more and more in-game demands on your attention. This is solid commentary start to finish!

    Very informative! One thing you didn't specifically mention, but was relevant in the video, is how important your town center placement was for defense. Whenever the knights came in to attack you, your villagers had an easy place to hide and the town center could help fight. I'll be considering this more when placing my own TCs, instead of only looking for the juiciest group of resources.

    I really like these type of videos, but I think they'd be even better if you explain the way you manage your economy depending on the strat you're going for. For example, how do you set up your eco when you decide to go Light Cav + Siege, and then the changes you make when you need to adapt and go full kts + monk instead, or even when you decide to stop military production. I've watched many videos where you can see pro players making really good decisions, but it's never explained how they adjust their eco to execute their plan properly

    I always do this mistake, send my armies to early, during the transition to the next age. I'm always afraid to miss this small timing advantage, so I want to put my armie near the ennemy base, but finish often trap and need to engage before my upgrade kicking. Not knowing my opponent didn't click yet is a huge factor, I need to learn to check the score at the right time to be able to know that and don't make unnecessary mistake
