    I am a newbie, I would like to ask you the following 3 questions: 1. Do you know which key combination to call Stable house (horse house) or Archery (firefield) quickly instead of having to click the mouse on that house. 2. How to call all troops to a place where you are fighting (instead of the way you do it manually, hover the mouse back to that house - click on- then move the mouse to the place where you are fighting - then press the G key, manually each house 1) 3. How does the shift button combination operate so that the tracking horse moves in the sequence of mouse clicks?

  • @TheIceSaffron
    @TheIceSaffron 2 місяці тому

    The example at @8:25 has a few issues. Number 1), we have no way from this example to know if the army value is actually accurate for the units that are present in the fight. Number 2) The positioning and the composition of Whams army is wrong. That's not the mangos fault. Wham was caught with his pants down by the KNIGHTS. The KNIGHTS is what killed his crossbows. Wham did not NEED to move his xbows within range of the Mangos. Nor did he need to move all of his spears away from covering his Xbows. Nor did he need to even kill the mango. All this example shows is a bad trade and bad positioning and a surprise attack. This example shows nothing wrong with the balance of Mangos at all. EDIT: also, let's not forget that the Mango is supposed to counter ranged units. We should expect him to take unit losses if he runs is Xbows into the Mangos, just like we would expect losses if he lets the Knights run into his xbows.

  • @ilgiallo0
    @ilgiallo0 2 місяці тому

    Tbh if the game goes so long that someone is able to mass winguard rangers enough to kill all the enemies army and still have enough of them to destroy a barraks ( 1500 hp /( 3+1) = 375 attacks , if you have 50 of them is still pretty slow . Now imagine a fortified tower or a castle or a tc , with 4500+ hp , i cannot see as OP to be honest .

    Hi Sir, could you share any idea on how to play Japan after this update? Cuz I found the big nerf on food aura and weaker age4 samurai really made a big change on this civs 😢can you help Sir

    • @blidge1
      @blidge1 2 місяці тому

      Hi! It is tough for sure, since Japanese age 2 is still very weak and age 3 is tricky. I think the strategy will remain the same: try to age up to Castle, be as aggressive as possible, and go for an extra TC when safe. Probably, you will need to be aggressive for a little bit longer, and use more berries/huntables.

    • @ilgiallo0
      @ilgiallo0 2 місяці тому

      Recently i'm using the louemt start and feeling ultra good even in 1v1 , you start with 2 on stone and 1 on gold , all the other on food , when you age up you leave 6 on food and all the other on wood , you can choose for 2 tc at 6 or aura on the main tc . And from there with double villagers and a spam of archers you survive/aggro the enemy attacks , archer are good now because you can have a banner ( making them as normal archers) and they only cost 30/30 or you can fast castle into horse , that with this patch will be incredible strong now , farms seems nerfed but for everyone so searching for deers will be a must for every civ .

    • @blidge1
      @blidge1 2 місяці тому

      I think mangonels will not be as strong as they are now, because of smaller area of impact. Nest of bees are going to be broken though, unless they update them too!
