Re: the Big Mac Attack

That was a big win for you guys. You really had them beat to the punch on Rush military. They built thier 2nd FB right behind the first one which didn't give them enough leway to have a good defence up. they would have been better off building 2nd rax's inbetween thier bases. I noticed you guys used...

Re: Indians (Me/Mstr Sergeant) vs Japan (Mstr Sergeant)

Worked this time. Start: You build your homes behind the TC nice. you collected starting coins I tend to skip that for every second of India ageup advantage. Good Cattle Herding and use of Mongol rider. Noticed one of your explorers passed a 90 F and 90 W tresure by sufi mosk which could boost your ...

Zorp China vs. Captain Aztec NWterr

Well I've watched this one twice and think it's good enough to post. It's a pretty close run for a while, the score is interesting to watch in this game. I knew I'd have to be on my game with a Captain so I brought my best fight. Hope you enjoy, comments welcome. It's available here if you have trou...

Re: Is Japan overated ?

[quote=""Navarone_Guy""]Well, Chris, the reason your cav are dying to yumi is because you're not flanking. (It could also be due to lack of upgrades or numbers) Have light infantry engage from the front and then charge in cavalry from the back. Then they can't hit and run.[/quote...

Re: Otto vs Aztec (a "must watch" game!)

Might want to check out what that aztec player has to say for himself in the original post. I know it looks bad but I've probably had worse showings.

Re: Navarone vs. Chinese Major

Yep, I think that XP is huge. Also they're high hp resouce generating buildings. I've been playing them a bit as they were my civ of choice after Aztecs in TWC. I think they're simple and effective once you're used to gold for villies and bank usage. Also with limited villie production you pegg out ...

Re: Anti-Rush strat using India??

Using the Map Yukon for testing I was able to get 10 units 5 speoy/5 gurkha @ 5:10 and 20 units at 5:20. This required doing the all villies to food after crates to get 800 food age up then back on wood. Aging up with Karni Mata (3 villies on wonder.) Ship 700 Food (saved shipement until age 2), Bui...

Re: Navarone vs. Chinese Major

Actually the 1 bank wagon card gives you so much xp once it quickly builds that you practically have your next shipment ready so I always send it first upon age up. I've never time tested gathering the wood from crates and having villie build the banks but I'm pretty sure the wagon builds faster.

I think that 2nd LT you played the other day had tougher China but wasn't strong enough in Fortress to hold you down!

Re: My brits versus ottos

Yeah the intensity of one on ones always seems a bit higher than team games. I think you did great would have expected to see hussars to target the abus but your longbows did quite a good job. I definately get a game with yah when I see you out in AOE3. If it's India it'll just be practice though :D

Re: Navarone vs. Chinese Major

Nice job he went for the diciple FF strat that so many decry! I actually don't use that start when playing China. You handled the diciples really well. I was surprised you didn't focus fire his explorer to prevent him from making more but, as it turns out you didn't need that. China player made a bi...

Re: Navarone vs. Chinese Major

Sounds like a good game. I just have my first China 1v1 loss to a 1st LT playing Germans. I must admit it was a pretty good defence. He got Xbows out pretty fast! Unfortunately QuickSearch for whatever reason hasn't record my last 2 games even though I've had it checked for both! I wasn't too dissap...

Re: Is Japan overated ?

[quote=""StrokeyBlofeld""] I agree with you mostly here, but saying it ruins the game is a bit strong. There are more units that are not accurate, it's not just the Ashigaru. As for stats, you must go off the information provided, not just speculation of who plays a civ and what ...
