Macavity you mean the
'My little India strat' that I linked in the TAD strategy forums! with some minor variances. That you initially poo poo'd!!!!
I watched the record and thought it was pretty good, for some reason I glossed over the fact it was a mirror until I started watching the record.
I thought KingK had a good use of rajput @ 15min time frame. Which got me to look at rajput stats closer. A slightly upgrade sepoy is basicly a rajput that is only 3 damage less in Hand to Hand more HP and ranged. I'll have to check the rajputs cost, I'm not sure I'd build them over sepoys. I could always just dedicate some sepoys to Hand to hand and cover any role rajputs serve.
Harley was more effective in combat and used his armies as 2 or more seperate armies that converge quite effectively early on and as bait to drag you away from your defences and towards his later. I was surprised after the first battle that Harley was idle outside your TC shot range but didn't start seiging your rax, wonder, or nearby house.
Nav was a lean efficient machine he only had the agra fort and a consulate until around 16 minutes he built his first rax then a stable.
KingK was quite effective with Sowars unfortunately Nav usually had the unit advantage and well we all know how much Navs micro can sting!!
It was also interesting to see both of you didn't build a single elephant or if you did it was way at the end and I just didn't notice.
looks like KingK could have been served well by having a 2nd/FB just to his east and spending a few of his sowars on raiding Nav's unprotected starting base and ECO center.
Alltogether it was a well played game and I suspect Nav may have been easy on you but, he may have just been safely playing for the win. Good record to watch.
Blayzer should be watching this match too!!!
