Rambo098 vs Soccerman771
France vs Russia
map: Deccan
winner: Soccerman771

Ok, I get huge amounts of wood to start, do the 14 vil age and build an fb really early. I ship 5 cossacks and totally throw him off his strat by killing 3 cdb's early. Much harrassment while I boom and uber defences when he attacks my base. I had him out-eco'd the whole time. I max out to 99 vils and he kills like 20 of them 'cus I left them stranded. I get to age IV, build fort and start pumping musks into his main base. 40 min game, he says gg..I think Chaos started something regarding upsets.

Well, now my best civ is out of the way...gg Rambo098

congrats soccerman, will watch

well played. Nice raids and pressuring all the time. Rambo shouldnt make musks vs russia though. Why did you make grenadiers in III when you can spam oprichniks instead (which you also had) ?

vs russia a semi FF with some hussars usually works fine.
proctect your valuable coureurs better though, Russia only gets stronger te longer the game lasts.

Opris aren't truly cost effective against anything besides villagers and buildings, tbh. No reason to make them instead of Cossacks when you need to deal with Skirms.

Never make grenadiers against skirms, because they are technically HI so they get owned by skirms, plus they do ranged dmg which skirms are resistant to.

Until ES changes grens so they count as siege troopers instead of HI, they will suck against skirms.
