what do you do for frontline when you have stretlzy? MMA, horsemen?
@blidge12 күн бұрын
It is very situational, but usually you are fine with either spearmen, maa or horsemen. My rule of thumb: - no horsemen counters --> make horsemen - enemy not making enough crossbows/handcannons (due to gold problems, etc.) --> make maa - need to deal with enemy cav, or just playing vs ottomans --> spearmen You can end up with a mix of these units (it is a game of rock paper scissors at a high level), which is completely fine - just don't forget university upgrades for all of them

Let me know when you make a Japanese guide! Or you recommend one master class for the Japanese like you did with this Rus guide! This guide is the best, thank you very much!! I will post this on discord and hope this pops off!

I really wish food sources on the map were made stronger so all civs had to go for them some. I think fighting for food, then fighting for relics, then fighting for gold is such a great progression and it's too bad so many civs skip whole parts of that now.

Would you recommend Rus for a new player trying to learn the game? Also, while I understand that win rates are basically useless for most players, why do you think Rus has some of the lowest win% in all leagues besides the very top of the ladder? Are they more difficult to play mechanically or less straight forward?
@guest00464 күн бұрын
Probably. I was thinking about this too, The other races are more streamlined. I think Rus loses when you dont know what youre doing and play 2 strats in one. Beasty says Rus is S tier
@guest00464 күн бұрын
Depends.. If you know RTS since before you can take Rus. But, example english. They have basic everything. So if you know english, you can play any other civ easier. But I pick rus for my first civ and I like it. You will probably lose a lot before you start wining. Also, you need to know your playstyle. If you like agressive, defensive or ecomony. Then pick a civ accordingly. Agressive require a bit more micro with raiding. RUS, you can play I belive any style. The upside is, you can play the style that counters your enemy better. If you try to play economy vs china who is strong economy, you prpbably will lose. But if you play agressive you will probably win. Thats the rus strenght.
@blidge13 күн бұрын
Yeah, Rus are a good choice, because they give you a lot of flexibility and save you from some cheese (like tower rush/FC Burgrave) About winrates - I think that's because you dont have a straightforward win condition, and you need to adapt a lot to what is happening. It is not that hard to learn 3 scout micro or controling knights imo, but it can be difficult to understand when you should make knights, if you should play horse arhcers, go imp, be aggressive, etc.

Ayee Rus enjoyers! o7 Great video man! What I like to say is that the Rus generate a lot of resources ‘out of thin air’. Like you compared HRE, we dont gather faster but we just get more resources from the same source.

Scientific analysis, I like your work, especially the conclusion which is highlighting the fact that your video is offering us a new frame to analyse the difficulty. I don't know if your criterias are the best and if you applied them proprely or even if we can find better ones, but it is of course a great way to start ranking civs on something else than just the personal judgement or experience of a pro player.
@Americanheld6 күн бұрын
I love that you do a presentation, makes it so much easier to follow. And thanks for sticking to landmap which is what 95% of us care about and want to learn. Keep up the awesome work! I liked all the games you showed, especially game 3 where you went early farms, which is something no one really talks about (I've only seen beasty mention it during an OOTD guide). I would have loved to see a game against English as that's the most ubiquitous civ on the ladder and everyone wants to see how to deal with them. I know you mentioned in the matchup section to go age 4 and push with Streltsy and Bombards against English but I think there are a lot of tactics along the way that a match or 2 would clarify for everyone
@blidge13 күн бұрын
Hi, thank you! I played 1 game against English today - it was a bit easy for me because opponent made some mistakes (like losing a king), but it shows what I was talking about: www.twitch.tv/videos/2194006720?t=2240s I will try to get another ladder game vs English, but people don't pick it against me for some reason lol

I main French at 1040 elo and I find it to be the easiest but everyone has informed me it's hard to French. I know how to get a massive boom happening with French trade stacked with the guild hall. It's silent booming with less micromagement needed. Then you just take favourable fights along your trade line using flexible army compositions because a booming style French isn't married to knights and arbs only.

Nice video! I appreciate the approach, although the results are somewhat odd. Like in the case of Delhi and Malians. They are respectively second last and last in popularity at time of writing. If they are as easy to win with as you claim, why isn't everyone playing them? Both Japan and Byz are very popular as well as HRE and English (the most popular by far). I'm not saying your opinion is necessarily wrong, I just feel there might be something here that your analysis is failing to grasp, although I'm not sure what.
@blidge111 күн бұрын
Thx! I think there is more to civ pickrates than simply "how strong/easy a civ is". For example, consider the following: 1. How versatile is the civ: you are forced into the same strategy with Malians all the time, and sometimes you want to play a different style 2. How approachable the civ is: Delhi might be easy to play when you know its basics, but if you never played it, it would look alien to you 3. How "good" it feels to play the civ: maybe people just don't like making pit mines and cows, and now having access to horsemen/crossbows Analysing pickrates is a whole different topic, I'm not sure I want to get into it hahah
