What was your biggest in-game mistake, or worst loss?

Post by cleeduz »

Mine occurred last night, facing a China mirror.

Before I started the game I watched 4 replays of different Chinese players, played a few quick games against the comp to "freshen up". Then went onto ESO, ready to level up my newly created Chinese civ.

To make a long story short, the game went over an hour. I had a good start but wasn't aggressive enough and ended up losing 200 ELO and my PR dropped by over 2 (a big deal when your a Corp.) :(

Back to the drawing board... ;)

My biggest misttake was deleting 3 out of the 6 otto villagers at the start, because of the beginning game lag, and like 2 games before that i played wetmelon on my home map, and deleted 1 of my starting villagers.

Most annoying games like this I have played was versus a Japan player known as Cyberwurm, I basically China rushed him, destroyed his TC/Barracks/Shrines repeatedly but he managed to get out too many yumi and somehow managed to pull back after total defeat realistically, I was a noob and didn't kill his econ and he made me complacent by raging about how OP my rush was and refused to resign due to my aparent laming (hah...)
I still retain a good rush owns Jap.

Cammel it does make sense if you read it and use something called "initiative".

It's not initiative, I have a habit of reading "Coyote" as the aztec troop, I admit defeat but I wasn't THAT silly, too much chocosanta playing aztec and me spamming "MAKE COYOTE!!!"
