@channelname7105 Жыл бұрын

I used to think that too but I recently noticed that usually if I start playing defensively it usually means things aren't going to go so great. Of course, I'm not saying they are bad but kinda last resort. (A cool trick I found to discourage giants into seiging is putting several defenders - spawn a new one move them each turn - around a city then have some extra units that can move in surround all 8 tiles of the city. If you giant push the giant will then get deleted. If they know about this feature its too expensive to get rid of the defenders which can be spammed, if they don't it will be a very nasty surprise for them)

There were a few plays you could've done with those mind benders at the beginning. For example, when you were talking about how great it was that you moved them back, there was one that you could have moved forward. If you had moved it forward and moved the other one even further back, he likely would have attempted to siege with his Giant, and you could've bended that. Remember, Mind Benders only cost 5 stars, if you lose them trying to put on some barriers, it's not the end of the world. In addition, when you kept talking about how you could've pulled back units, that isn't quite right. If you didn't have the offensive pressure of those two Giants, they would have been able to advance further and take the grounds of your Capital, and they would have been able to train more catapults in that city, and your giants would have died either way, but if you had pulled them back your capital would have died, too. If you use Mind Benders, be offensive with them. Kickoo didn't have any knights pretty much and therefore you could have lined up Mind Benders in a way that you can push them forward, but if one of them gets killed then you convert the unit that killed the Mind Bender. Put Mind Benders behind lower health units to protect them.

8:25 my most underrated unit: dinghy (cloaks in boats). I like to play 1v1s on normal-continents maps, and if there are huge late-game pressures on the choke points, i just train a couple cloaks in a port city and send them to make an ambush in the 2nd line cities. It's very effective bc the enemy is concentrated in the main battle, doesn't expect an attack on the far away cities (that considers safe), and isn't prepared to counter the attack, so the siege is hardly going to be stopped. Once u capture the city, the job becomes 10 times easyer and you are pretty much able to gain the control of that zone for free

@BIGBURRGAMING Жыл бұрын

Nice! Unique pick, cloaks can be very effective in the later game to find the weak spot in your opponent’s defense!

@verestoyjanos5013 9 ай бұрын

Quick tip for gender-benders: two of them together are really strong. Like at turn 20, moving the mindbender towards your second city and training one new mind bender would've softlocked his giant. if he doesnt retreat, it gets converted. if he attacks, he gets converted. Also use the fog of war to your advantage. On turn 21, you trained a swordsman in your third city when you saw the giant approaching. You knew the city wasnt in vision because he hasnt noticed the village for 20 turns. so if you had trained a mind bender, the giant would've gotten converted.

It would be funny if you trained a mindbender from your hidden village/city when the Kickoo Giant first marched into it.

I play a lot of creative with islands maps and in that environment, going philosophy early is critical because it lets you get pacifist monument as well as getting a ton of tech for cheap since you're going to spend a lot of the game on one city. FWIW, Aquatism is also critical on islands maps for the defense bonus on water tiles.

2:10 I think this one depends largely on the size of the map. If you encounter your enemy later more likely to get the pacifist monument and the discount is more of a long term thing. Not sure how effective it is but a friend that I often play with rushes for the discount and then starts getting custom house stuff set up.

Very strong defense and unit micro. It's difficult being down so much eco, but you fought well. I'm wondering why at 0:58 you leveled up your city instead of training 2 warriors. You would've been able to hold off on defense and level up the following turn, allowing you to (barely) keep the city and still have a decent eco. Ig hindsight is 20/20 tho, you still gave the opponent a tough time even after that decisive misstep.

One unit I use in a way you might not expect is using polytaurs for ships and battleships instead of defenders (when playing Elyrion). I love polytaurs because (a) for same HP, they're less expensive, or at least same stars if you're counting the lack of a star you're earning from the nearby sanctuary, (b) reproducible with sanctuaries, and (c) the "independent" ability means I can fill the ocean with these guys and never produce more units than my home cities can handle. The only disadvantage is that if I want to land to siege a city, the 1 defense definitely makes that harder

5:10 kickoo player throws by not just killing the mindbender with their ship here. Your warrior blocks its access to that tile NE of your capital with zone of control, but not if they just buy navigation which they had the stars for. I'm guessing they were weary of the mindbender you moved to the west that they don't have vision on, but they could have just won there

My underrated unit is the defender. I only see people using it to hold cities, but it can be used to zone control and also to last hit enemy units if they're in range. Regarding your game, I dont understand why you resigned bro, you could still hold the game for a few turns, just waiting for a blunder to take a city you know?
