Kasva had that. When you have such an army of mmA, you can't be scared to dive deep into the enemy base. He coulda easily gotten 1 mma to start attacking random villies. Also, Kasva saw that he was building Archery ranges in the back and didnt storm that area. He was content with killing a few buildings. It's like all that push and he didnt really force villies off gathers or kill any. He just killed a few buildings with that push.......Okay? Kasva had that and after his 1st pushed got stopped the game was instantly over for him as you can see in the Score. If you're going for these proxy pushes, you have GOT to commit. (Where was the steady stream of additional units to Flood in China's base? He made a few mmA and said "ok go guys, I won't send reinforcements even though I have a close base."

Totally agree. Kasva had it. He didn't see the archery ranges though, Aussie saw them. But yeah, a little bit of reinforcements instead of useless, defenseless mangonels, would be a win.
@ceruleanblue21612 жыл бұрын
Or building defensive positions and fortifying mid map while booming during his proxy push... But instead he builds 10 widely spaced towers and doesn't mine any resources.. Then tries building military bases which are tiles away from enemy LOS... Wtf. Its almost like he panicked hard af when the enemy didnt ff at the sight of his men at arms then had no idea what to do for the rest of the game

The chinese siege artillery is indeed something else, naming all the bonuses is a very long proccess. The key to beating them seems to going for large push right on the castle age up mark, with a little better exectution and bigger commit from kassva i think he had that. Kill it before it lays bees!

Chinese's dominance over late game should be their signature, IMO, should not be nerfed. Instead, I propose penalizing their early game more so that Chinese player should pay more attention to base defense instead of brain-dead booming. Maybe a reduction in Imperial Officer's military supervise boost (150% or 100% bonus only) so that China could not pump out troops so fast. In fact, the most important reason 3DBee defended the proxy push was that he massed Springalds in reaction so fast thanks to the Imperial Officers.
@spysong13242 жыл бұрын
He didn´t even supervised one archery range what are you talking about. 1 IO was on gold - killed on the push - 1 IO on CT killed on the push - 1 IO was idle hanging around at an archery range not supervising and killed on the push, his last IO was supervising a mill.....
@henrylaz89642 жыл бұрын
@@spysong1324 You are right about not supervising the archery range, apologies for my impaired vision. I have corrected my initial comment. BUT during the first push, 3DBee DID supervised the Clocktower, getting two NoBs and I think they did some really nice damage to the horde of MAAs. During the second push, the supervised Clocktower also allowed him to pull out 5 Springalds and sniped all the Mangonels. Without these Spingalds, i'm sure 3DBee's army of crossbow and guards would be decimated easily. Therefore, I think my argument about the Imperial Officer production bonus still holds, regardless.

That game was intense. I can't be the only one sitting here giggling with anticipation at the massive undiscovered proxy. From that point onwards it was just constant action. Incredible he managed to survive let alone in such a good position. Also its very interesting to see how the meta seems to be shifting towards the slower methodical push of fortifications, castles, walls. They always seem to be useless with how quickly bombards dispatch of them but clearly I'm wrong on that assumption or they wouldn't be used.

Kasva made two big mistakes that cost him the game here. 1.) He _didn't defend his rams._ 2.) After his first big push was repelled, he went back in for more, but totally unprepared. The meta is very predictable right now; everyone and their mom would have known that Bee was going to mass springalds in response. He overcommitted to a second push long after it was obvious that it wasn't going anywhere and it crippled him. I think Kasva probably assumed that his opponent would be unable to rebuild those villages, and thus would be pop capped to oblivion, and that he had an advantage he needed to push... but when you see mass archers and 5-7 clocktower springalds you need to *fall back.*
@AlfonsoSRT2 жыл бұрын

It means to focus on rapid growth on your eco. Generally it refers to adding multiple town centres to speed up the training rate of villagers - more villagers = more resources.
@valk78502 жыл бұрын
think of it as the same usage of boom in "baby boomers" in that it is a rapid increase in something over a short period of time so in this case it's is an economic boom meaning a rapid economic improvement over a short period of time
@jiijii1231232 жыл бұрын
It means an economic boom where you purely focus on building an economy which exponentially grows bigger and bigger like an explosion of wealth. So a pure boom doesn't do any defense or any military it's all just pure economy.

Yep. At the moment it is hard for even cavalry to catch them if they have any sort of protection. Two mistakes were not focusing down the archery ranges with the maa and then when 3Dbee stabilized not going right into cavalry as you know China will be coming with siege. That is Abbasid main weakness is how much they give up for the Camel riders whose only buff that is semi-effective vs China is the faster movement speed and buff to combined arms with infantry but vs nest of bees, crossbow, and palace guard... Abbasids going to struggle.
