N3O Age Of Empires and Starcraft 2 Clan

15 min game Russia vs Spain
I get into his base early and he repels.
I keep cav and try to raid and build up whiel he goes to Fort
I catch up and hit him with everything in Fort.

Any hints welcome

Just checked this one works

cool , will watch and comment ASAP



edit: gg there lego


when you send your explorer into enemy town to scout , also scout the immediate soroundings and locate every source of food available to your opponet and push on those areas with your cav+infantry. don't fight inside his town until you have a large enough mass to assualt the TC/houses directly


when playing vs. spain , the tower age up + miners is an indication that they will do a ff and shipment spam , in this case your best bet is to attack his food supplies and and age up yourself , age 2 muskets fail horribly vs. lancer. good job at the raiding tho

when your wood shipment arrives, you can use it on extra blockhouses , houses etc. , but in this matchup a good use of it would have been to claim a couple trade posts for extra xp , do this vs. passive opponets , will also help your semi ff. if you are facing another aggresive based player then make an extra blockhouse or two and place them in hunts to safegaurd your vills


watch your resource stockpiles. you never want to get an abundance of any resource unless you are either planning on aging-teching-or making an extra TC/mill/plants

was a gg tho , you clearly outclassed your opponet just work on the small things and soon they will become a thing of the past.

Thanks Dan. I'll work on those things.

Muskets is Russias best age 2 counter to horses..right?

Muskets/Cossacks is Russia's only real defense to cav in age 2. You have to mix in cossacks due to how fast the Russian musk dies to LI.

If you're playing on the FP, the advanced arsenal card makes them surprisingly effective against cav in melee. With that card played, they do as much damage to cav as regular muskets in melee at a much lower cost. I have used them to very good effect in some team games.

But without FP, Russia has to rely on their bad muskets and 9 cossacks. Against Germany, it's a hard battle. Massed cav runs right over early Russian armies.

"Greeny's build is a very good Russian option against Germans. Instead of justing sending cossacks, he sends resource cards to get more muskets quicker. Along with the cossacks, that is enough to stop straight uhlans cold."
