T90 is the reason I play this game. Never played until watching around 10 vids. I got the game, played the campaign, and got smacked by the AI. I kept getting dogged on by normal campaign lvls and uninstalled the game, but I kept on watching T90 vids. After some 4am non-stop LEL nights, I got the game again. Now I can win some mid 600 elo games by spamming archers with Britons. So basically, thanks T90 for making me get a 50% on my exam...

I need to see iSit add the scorched earth tactics to this strategy. After you surround the island, transport siege onagers across and just start destroying trees. Deny them the wood to build a navy, starve them out faster, and increase overall obnoxiousness by 500%

I honestly think one reason he goes for a lot of mainland resources is just to starve the enemy faster. I saw him on black forest I think and he went for the resources closest to the enemy first, walling the enemy out. He was able to retreat as the enemy got catapults and trebs and so he still had resources when that happened. That way he could outlast them.

Attacking your enemy and keeping the pressure on: I sleep Defending for the entire match and don't attack: I Sit

The insane thing is that if iSit actually shored up the lesser qualities of his game plan (not losing random fishing ships to castles, developing his quickwall skills, getting better at crisis management), his strat might be considered "pretty good" up until even mid-elo. You could conceivably imagine him winning fairly regularly up until that point, and I think his current elo speaks to that.

@TheGstein

2 жыл бұрын

Well... it's pretty good until probably like 1100, because the enemy just has to make him put more resources into navy early and he will not get to the critical mass of ships until later. All the enemy had to do I think was after spotting the cannon galleons, spamming like 8 docks with fires or galleys.

Isit uses an old, tried and true war strategy - Control the sea, control the war. Blue could have had unlimited resources in the middle and it still would not have mattered because Isit controlled the sea. Blue should have taken to the seas early game and blockaded Isit's starting island and the gane would have been much shorter.

The thing with iSit's strategy is that it is very much an RP strat. His games are very similar to how sieges went down irl. Most of them didn't end with the total annihilation of troops, but with attrition until the enemy capitulates. I dig it.

"There's no limit" what a mad lad

Watching iSit games vs goths is excruciating; the goth player only wants to spam infantry on the land, and doesnt contest water, and iSit refuses to contest land and only fights on water with the res from his starting island.

just blatantly throwing away the relics despite having complete land control for the longest time was even worse imo Isit should realistically only have gotten 2 relics but he ignored it so he got 3, then later the last two just having 2 vs 3 relics might had given him enough income to pull through, and with just two docks in the corner he could have produced fire galleys hidden and then contest water again

6:00 Finland here: In winter, it's dark when you go to work/school, and it's dark when you get out. Cold all of that time. Dark+warm is a combination that does not exist, because during summer it doesn't get that dark, and interestingly it isn't pitch black at night in winter either if there's lots of snow. Cloudy weather and snowy ground make everything light up (from all the artificial lighting bouncing everywhere, not escaping to the sky).

This is actually great, you can also tell iSit has gotten overall better at the game, maybe even a little more confident. He tried building 1 tile of wall, and that was it. He was relatively aggressive much earlier than in the previous games you uploaded. Not bad, this is growth!

A castle boom can still beat a drush or feudal push because though it may slow you down, you can spend less on defense than they do on attack, allowing your eco to snowball.

'...When we needed him the most... He returned"

This has literally been my go-to strat every time I play water map with AI. On land maps, I spam archers with Britons. So effective once all the upgrades are in. I think in a past AOE edition, the cannon galleons were also faster than the other ones like the Japanese ones and it made a world of difference.

I've been playing AOE2 since its release and in my first semester of college in 2003, my then roommate used to play with us on LAN games in the dorm. And all he did was turtle. Turtle, turtle, turtle, wait for the attack, and turtle some more. It was the most annoying strategy in the world. He would build a million walls and never do anything and just hope that all the other players wiped each other out. He was the most passive player I have ever met and he never changed his strategy. Never learned to scout or probe attack. Nothing. Just walls. I've lost touch with him since then but I would have no surprise whatsoever if I learned he is ISit.

The closer you live to the equator, the less the length of the day changes throughout the year. The Arctic circle is the latitude where you get to the extreme and it's light for 6 months and then dark for 6 months. Scandinavia is very close to the Arctic circle, so in some places they get to like 23 hours of day and one hour of dark in the summer and vice versa in the winter.

When it gets dark in Sweden depends completely on where in Sweden you are. Sweden is a long country and in the northern parts the sun doesn't rise at all for a period during the winter. In Stockholm, the sun rise at 8:43 AM and settles at 2:48 PM in the middle of the winter, so that's about 6 hours of daylight. Southern Sweden has about 7 hours of daylight in the middle of the winter. Then it's of course reversed in the summer, with long days and short nights.

Sundown is 15:50 today in western norway. Light about 8-9 in the morning.
