Question to Tatl and all the other guys of course

[huGGy]

If you face a russian player as Sioux, what is the hardest thing for you he can do? If he rushes you or play defensively? I never know what to do vs Sioux, because i'm afraid of this cav shipments.

What would you do on maps like Carolina, Dekkan or Texas?

I recall the longer the game goes, better are the chances for russia. Sioux's only siege unit is the warclub and I think you can easily outboom them, specially on water maps. CM may help having 1 shot kills on warclubs.

I think the problems start when he goes fortress and has an insane seige dance.


This used to be the theory regarding russia vs sioux matchup, dunno if it is too far from reality.

On carolina get a block house defensively and go sea, on Texas turtle up and boom, deccan I dunno. Turtle should do too.

usually when a russia decides to rush i get alittle nervous, 10 strets per batch adds up pretty quick and its difficult for sioux to mass axerider at that stage of the game, meaning its not hard to cut off the sioux' eco


the longer the game goes on the higher the chance of winning is for the sioux i think, tashunke > all

Hmm shipping 4 axe riders and getting a war hut up ain't enough to stop the rush?

[Tatltael]

that just comes down to micro, but in most cases its really, really hard to stop the flooding of units from russia

[I__CHAOS__I]

sioux fast rush could be a serious problem for russia (wacko style)
or normal 9 AR start should do good too
if russia can boom on the water it's gonna be hard for the sioux
Kalmuck FF rox vs AR tho, but aint seasy to pull off well
