Thanks for the feedback. I have recoded several videos in a series and noticed the audio is off. I'll keep an ear on the volume from now on. Cheers

1. I sometimes overlook the little details and realize only after. 2. Usually I micro-manage, but in imperial, I am trying to survive, so I am just printing units. haha Maybe these are the factors that make me still Diamond 1.

Consider this to be ASMR then with mongolic steppe music :D

Indeed close! Numbers are not always everything, but with hit and run tactics, you need to use every moment you have and micromanage your attacks effectively without losing units (like I did). Also, mobility plays a role in these types of scenarios. Him having spearmen made his army move much slower than mine, making his entire unit an infantry unit, because he had to mix his keshik with spearmen in order to protect them from my charge attacks. Cheers for watching till the end!

Fortunately most of English players lack brain, so it works in our favour. Jokes aside, did you even watch the video or are you just trolling? What do you suggest against a 2TC strategy?

@@MangudaiKharyshkyr my point is you are telling people to have no brain in responding to no brain play. FC abbey into Kings palace with tower on gold. If you do this horsemen build you will get absolutely blasted.

@@MangudaiKharyshkyr and yes I watched the video. I think in this matchup you have scale your eco with trade and depending on eng play, also work 2tc. Otherwise you are betting the eng player is brain dead and your all in at min 3 will work. If it doesn’t work, good luck!

@@monkeyarms5863 The all in is not meant to guarantee an early win, but to delay and harass the English player. What situation are we talking about though? King2TC or Council+Longbow? 1. for King, you need 3 early horsemen to face the king, and by the time the king is out, you have them. And you can follow up with Keshik, having 6 units to dive stone, woodline and TC construction, following with constant preasure and raids. How do you keep up with a 2TC eco? Market. 80% of Mongol players do that. They will adapt, you will adapt too. Was I spamming horsemen only? No. I adapted too, by building a 2nd TC. And I expect my opponents to adapt. 2. Longbowmen rush is more difficult. Early horsemen are ok to push off gold, to get the 50 resource bounty and if you are lucky, you can kill one or two longbowmen with them. Following with Keshik in age 2, you need to "stalk" you opponent, in order to get favourable fights. Building a market is mandatory, because you are all in eco. Yes, the game was in my advantage because I went for the market, so it was an easy win. English is the most difficult matchup for mongols and this is the strategy that has worked "best" for me. So I am not really sure what your point is. Every strategy is meant to throw the opponent off his build and to make him adapt in order to win time and make a better army. Same happens with a tower rush, with a knight rush, with a desert raider rush. If the opponent freezes, then he would probably be silver...

I had the video on private for a few days, but I uploaded it due to your request. :) Glad you find this controversial horsemen opening useful, I think its usefulness is often overseen and I never see players open like this. The horsemen are super useful in delaying and keeping the opponent busy.

Good question, the answer is yes and no. You can kill a few deer if they are in your path, but it is better to attack their base early, because they will get their gold nonetheless and start gathering for a second TC. I have just posted a video on Rus matchups, you can check out on my channel.

Thanks for tuning in! I have a video where I talk about the control groups I use. When I have cav only, I use 1 for all units, 2 for keshik and horsemen and 3 for mangudai. I try to keep them in the entire group, to make it harder for the opponent to snipe my mangudai down. If you look at 11:55, I charge with group 2, drag out the keshik and sacrifice the horsemen. It seemed to be efficient. But I'm going down the rabbit hole of micromanagement here :)

True indeed and a good point, you have to make them suffer from claustrophobia and mongolophobia. There are always some villagers that are a bit far from the TC, always in striking range from the quick cavalry units. Now that you are mentioning this, I find that building a tower around their base would be cool, to give cav units yam influence, to make them even faster!

Maybe you should start playing English as well ;)

after and if I quit smoking!

I explained it in the video about the Horsemen Rush, that if you only build with one, your horsemen will be delayed due to the previous patch. But you are right about the walk. If the walk is too big, I split them up and only build with 3. Depends what you want to compromise. If you want your horses early, use all 6. If you stone is close, definitely use 6 for this strategy. If the walk is long, then do 3 or 1.

You live up to your name, my friend and you understand little. Watch my games on this channel and you will understand.

Yep! Was thinking the same after playing vs Rus.. But it's always situational, if he goes 2 TC or all in feudal. I have some ideas for the next videos though :)

​@@MangudaiKharyshkyr I use different strategy depending on map or my location from my teammate, either 2 TC, double villagers using stones, or upgrades using stones, or go for deers using x7 scouts (double speed of food) require the professional scout, or tower rush delaying the ovoo directly to oppount, i only play team games, not single. I only produce double troops after IV, not before, I think it's better to use stones on the other things, but thats just me.

​@@jamesdenmark1396 These are all good strategies for mongols that I'm planning to cover in detail ( 2 TCs for example is high on the list, double vills with oovoo and your TC is up at 6.30) except for the professional scout. Does it work for you? I figured that going on deer with vills and keeping my adversary busy in early feudal works for me. I'd like to cover all upgrades at some point too. But double production in age IV is something I have to disagree with. I think the power of the mongols is the fast unit production which I use in Feudal to slow my opponent. In age IV - get the Improved Biology, improved Fire Arrows and improved Mangudai Damage, if you use them. in other words- put blacksmith on the stone, which you need around 3k stone for. In age IV you should have enough stables and ranges to quickly produce units, and the eco to sustain it too.

Hey thanks for checking out my channel, I hope you find the vidoes useful. I have also played ONLY mongols in ranked (maybe 2-3 exceptions), I like the playstyle more than any other civs. Congrats on 1500 games, what lvl are you? I think I have around 500 ranked games.

It's after this game that I found out about panoramic view, after checking a replay of an FFA and seeing the "panoramic view" of someone who was maphacking. I was shocked to find out that I was playing the game wrong for two yeaars hahah

It was by default like this, someone else had asked and I think it's the first option under Accessibility Settings, Strong Contrast Mode.

So how many players build a tower? 1 in at mooost 5 games I have. And if the defensive tower is already up, is it legit to build an offensive one as mongols? Not really, cause it's already defended. So the same principles apply, when the opponent has a tower, you go keshik. and the two horesemen come in very handy. It might be meta, yeah. But it's cheesy and boring.

Only if you take some time to build the towers. Mongols can't build walls and that can become very problematic 🤣

Diamond I, currently around platinum

U simply dont

The point is to send them to gold and delay it as much as you can. If he builds a tower, then you can't do anything about it, but it's 100 resources for 120, so it's alright.

I recorded an updated version of this guide and showcased a match vs French, as you will see, it is working and efficient. Check it out on my channel.

French players fear this rush, don't listen to them.

Lol Idk, it looks normal to me and it has always been like this. Maybe it is civilization related?

Edhm or change config file

for anyone wondering it's high contrast in accessibility settings
