[Team Games] How many units can you mass by 7.5 mins?

With China I am used to having 28-31 units made by the 7.5 min mark. In my switch to the Iro I am getting anywhere from 20-28 (depending on if I go mainly toma or aenna or 50/50 split). My main BO for this is: 3 vills Travios makes a Farm Vills build a house Click Age up with the Messenger woman at ...

Re: Lamage or what?

Basically, you can have opri surround a cav archer by playing with the unit formation buttons. So you have 49 opri boxed together and overlapping each other; the group is about the size of a house area wise. This is also done with Samurai and some Sioux units. I certainly don't think this was intend...

Re: 2 russia recs vs drew

Other than the typical "don't let the game get that far," how should a Russian counter the late game goon and heavy cannon threat? Russian cav archers can't go into melee and attack the cannon's like goons can and infantry can't really reach the cannons in time. The only way I see is to ha...

Re: Team Cards and when to play them in Team games

If possible, please mention why you think the aforementioned team cards are not worth it. It would help me understand your logic and the game.

Thanks for the response guys,

Re: Team Cards and when to play them in Team games

I played with Aztecs for a while before I purchased TAD. The fact that they have WP for the pit makes them very attractive as opposed to having to use my vills. I mainly need to learn which units are good for Age 3+ play. The only thing I did not like about the Aztecs was the unit transitions, which...

Team Cards and when to play them in Team games

China has been really fun, but I feel the need to learn another civ. The Iroquois have a very good eco and numerous strats. A major reason for me switching to them was for the team cards. Team Furrier, Medicine (15% reduction in vill train time), and Mill Silos are the most useful of the team cards....

Re: caesár and huggy vs captain and lieut colonel

Pwnage, great teamwork. Honestly, I have never seen war clubs used much, but they tore stuff up with the xbows providing cover fire.

Re: N3O vs OGT

Man, Huggy brought down the hammer on Red. In one foul swoop he took out around 8 helpless vills with his raiding :) Raiding has me paranoid which is why I usually play China so I can throw my vills in a village. I might start weaning myself onto other civs by sending 700 wood for 2 towers so I don'...

Re: 36drews strategy tip of the day: Cav vs Cav Engagement

This was one of the reasons why I liked India. The monks always ensured your units would be back to full health for the next clash at the FB or at your base.

Insight into Team Games

Essentially, I am wondering when to push forward to attack the FB and when to sit back and boom in team games. This isn't really a topic that can be easily explained, hence I really appreciate the experts making VODs detailing why and when they plan to push or boom. In my experience, losing a forwar...

Re: You shall not pass!

Your TC was doing some pretty insane damage. Good use of distracting him and making him come after your units (and the vill that came out); that saved your TC a few times and decimated his army. Very well played.

Re: RTSL N3O vs KoN

Both games were well played, gj N30. In the Yukon match it looks like your villager counts were lower than theirs due to raids; your rush in that game was very good though.

Thank you for the upload.
