What happened at 12:03 was that DraCoNT started to convert a scout, but then switched to converting an Archer, and almost instantly converted the Archer because the monk had already build up enough faith in his attempt to convert the Scout.
@AvihooI7 жыл бұрын
Faith is the wrong term here, but yes, you're right... if you start converting one thing and then move to another you can get insta-converts. Since scouts have extra resistance it means things with lesser resistance will be converted instantly (because of maximum conversion times). This technique is usually done (coupled with redemption and theocracy) with buildings... you start converting a building, lure the enemy in and then switch your monks to the offending forces.

T90Official, did the designers purposefully leave that corner open so that tower hops would be possible? Because I'd think that it wouldn't be that hard to program the wall so that it would fill that spot in. It is a neat trick, but still seems like if you are going to start with walls, they should give you the full walls.

If you're going to beat a player of roughly the same caliber in a game where you have a civ disadvantage I guess you have to do something wild like this in order to have a shot, and it worked beautifully.

making that many mangonels was the key to lose this... Battering rams filled with pikemen! That's always win. Battering rams withstand archer fire for ages and pretty hard to kill with cavalry too. Putting 4 pikemen inside each battering rams would speed it up and pikes can defend it from cavalry. And rams are much cheaper then mangonels.

I agree it's all easy in retrospect, but there is no reason he shouldn't be able to think off walling off, maybe place the first tower above the market so if they enter the base they get shot at, he could have collected 25 stone for 1 tc, buy some stone for a second one, and basically feudal army couldn't harass his eco. Very panic stricken response made him lose the game. Even as a noob I could come up with that right away watching the tower hop going up. No way he should have lost that.

@Jamie Grimes Lol he doesn't have to place tower right away. When he saw tower being built and he couldn't place building he could have easily placed palisades or stone around the market that cock blocked to prevent entry. He saw it, and he should have rushed up to wall that bit off so after the tower is built and he deletes his market, then Dracont's walls will prevent him from advancing. He had plenty of time and could have made sure the tower rush didn't advance any further. Make 1 or 2 defensive towers and he should have been fine

@@lamegamer4607 again, no stone walls because he wasnt in feudal. he hit feudal just seconds before the second tower went up. so best case scenario, he has palisades around where the market was but the second tower still goes up and the palisades would fall so quick to tower and vills.

12:02 About that monk conversion. Monk conversion has a cast time, that's something we all know. It seems like when you're trying to convert an unit and then you aim to another unit, that cast time you earned with your monk applies to that other unit. So, could happened that red monk tried to convert green Scout, but then aimed to green Archer, which has not conversion resistance.

he was pushed off gold, plus he needed an answer to deal with the towers, im guessing he went with mangonels instead of rams for a more versatile defense, but imho the monks shouldve been able to provide enough defense to reclaim the gold, add in a few spears to defend the monks, which he did.. but he was also panicking so probably his mind was neglecting many things while trying to come up with a solution
