3 1.1 Recs :]

Post by huGGy »

Played some nice games today and would like to share them with you guys :].

First game vs a german FF vs a Brit Major on Sonora. One little micro mistake made the game last way too long. At the end he asked me to quit (he had some more points, but was still in Colo without an army left) and i said: No, why should i? Then he dropped. Strange...


The two other games were vs my mate gomezd (pr 34). Both games were India (me) vs Ports (him). First was on Saguenay were i tried to fish boom. Every single tip is welcomed here. I think its only useful to do, if your opponent stays in Age 2 as well and has less than 2 or 3 TCs.

Second game was on Sonora were i did a Boomy Agra Fort Semi-FF. Please don't ask me why i didn't build the 2nd TC. I was really blind later on and already thought: Damn, did they nerf India? Why can they only build 2 TCs? (I thought so why i tried to build my 4th.) What a mistake. Everything else went pretty ok. It's a solid BO i think and everything else went good. Even besteiros showed up (as well as ~50 urumis :P).

If you watch: HF and don't forget to give me some pointers on that water boom try (ressource management was horrible, first India try in a long time).

Got the win, but - as always - not the points ;). It wasn't that clear that i might have won the game, but i think i would have done so. Was in Fortress he in Colo and i managed to switch my eco and nearly reached his Villager count. I also already sent several upgrade cards (Cav and the things for Plantations and Mills). Looked good for me.

The first game with India on Sonora was awesome. Nice micro with that small army of yours :) Just curious, but how did you know it was safe to age so late in the games with India?

In the Sonora one i kinda new that he would FF so i tried to raid some Villagers and get my Eco up before reaching Fortress. It wasn't really safe, but i hided my army until i had Urumis he saw my TC and some Villlagers.

In the Saguenay one i actually thought he would do a fishboom as well, this early Horses and Musketeers surprised me. Even with fishboats i could never reach his Villager count :/.

Really decent games you have got there (especially this one on sonora :!: ). Thank you very much for uploading them :D

To this fishboom game: I think it was a really good idea to take the sea (If you continued like this you would have more vills than he had). You started very well, but as you already mentioned your recource managment wasnt good. Its better to specialise on one thing (boom or army).
To help you here: recources differ in their collectioning speed: food: 0,83333 per sec; wood: 0,5 per sec (india has even 0,65 per sec since the 2 techs are already done); gold: 0,58333 per sec.
According to this you need 14-15 villagers on wood (240 wood in 25 sec) to have a stable boat+villager boom (+2 vills for houses). If you want army and spam sepoy (5 sepoy in 35 sec) then it is required to set 15 vills on food and 7 on gold. (12 on food/12 on gold for spamming gurkas).
Another thing is that you had to play more active (i know it is easy said but very difficult to do). For example when you won the early battle you had to go and attack (or spy). If you have an army you have to look for contact (this time especially because his boom was better than yours). In the end he simply overboomt you, because you didnt lift a finger...
But nevertheless all of your games were really great :) .

Thanks for the feedback :). It's really appreciated! The simple reason why i didn't push after gomez` first attack failed was that i thought, my fish boom is running and i'm outbooming him. Also i just didn't expect that much Cacas. Bad lack of scouting. Do you have any ideas of a good (better) building order?

hmm, i am not an Indian player but perhaps this replay will help you. It is also Indian vs Ports, both making fishboom. It is from agesanctuary.
Have fun ;)

that game vs that brit major, too bad you got robbed off the 305coin treasure and lost your black riders to his wisely placed lbs and huss

you played well, philosopher prince ff+ merc and unit shipments, too bad there were some army wipe outs on your behalf, brits can recover much faster from this than any other civ. bad habit to drop from him^^

currently watching 2nd game, will edit
