Franks are the best civ for begginers by far. When you get tired of knight, then you try other ones. Archer civs are pretty fun, but a bit harder to play.

@HiNationItsMe3 ай бұрын
This video was OK. I feel like you’re still not explaining enough about your thought process. Things like leaving a little space behind the wall so you can quick wall behind. Things like how big should your walls be and how many vils should you use to wall. When to do normal walls versus small walls versus egg walls. I think you could’ve gone more in depth here. It may be useful to show multiple game examples with different scenarios for different walling conditions.

I am 1200 elo and I usually wall even earlier and with more vills to be safe from militia rushes and very early scout rushes. Obviously, it always hurts my economy. The thing is that it's still hard for me to keep all vills busy when I am under pressure.

I am only 900 elo, however I have to say ppl even at this elo who make feudal age army have a plan to break through palisade walls. I have walled but it always seems like a waste when my walls get broken into. They will add a tower or archers/skirms with a melee unit to prevent reinforcing the wall. I have given up on walling tbh and just try to play super aggressive in feudal maybe adding a tower to protect wood and gold for archers. not sure where going wrong but just seems walls are made to be broken into.

Great video! I needed this. One question: How do you incorporate it if you want to hide your military buildings? For example, as Poles here, but you want to go archers. So you hide the Archery Range from the opponent's scout?
@supermelon-senpai83693 ай бұрын
from what I've seen, it's usually not worth trying to hide your first military building - the wall comes first. After that, though, if you wanted to do a switch to archers, for example, just hide the range(s) a few tiles behind your completed walls so that their scout can't see them.

So I've been playing this for years and something I still struggle with on woodline is whether to commit to 2 or 3 vils on wood (I normally go woth a light scout rush into knights). Would it be more worth it to go 3 on wood for scouts if you want to wall? Or should you small wall and delay full walling in exchange for the scout rush?

@LordZaamus3 ай бұрын
I am just not 100% sure about production buildings all in front of the base. At least for the stable, I prefer to put it behind. That's because scouts are fast and it does not change much in terms of time to reach the enemy base, but putting it behind gives the advantage that one can hide the stable for a longer time and prevent or delay enemy spearmen. Could this be a valid reason?
@juansiboldi61513 ай бұрын
Probably a good reason, but when N°1 of the world explains how is he N°1 of the world, i wouldn't doubt about his formula of playing lol
@LordZaamus3 ай бұрын
@@juansiboldi6151 I am absolutely not questioning his formula (why people always think that asking a question or having a doubt means going against someone....?) but at his level the opponent will most likely find any building and know what one is doing from the timing, score, eco, etc., so there is no point in trying to hide. I am just not 100% sure that, at my level (1050-1100), every suggestion applies blindly, because I know that map scouting is not excellent at my level and a building in the backside of the base can go unnoticed. I followed many of his suggestions also changing my habits, but for this one I am still not sure. If anyone can give me reasons, I will consider that.

There is one thing in this topic I was wondering about for a long time. There is something I see often in mid-ELO and never ever in pro games. In late feudal a sneaky villager going to the edge or corner of the map close to the enemy, to make a military building, for surprise raids. By late feudal and early castle, the loss of production from a single villager is not a big deal, and one or two buildings are not that much either, and the enemy can be surprised from an unexpected direction, and even regular assaults can have reinforcements arrive earlier. Why is sneaking a vill completely nonexistent at high ELO (maybe expect for black forest)? I get it that it might not be super optimal, but it is not that costly and it can surprise an opponent, especially if it is rarely done.
