      To be fair, if blue had scouted and dropped the TC earlier, he might have beaten red. When blue was aimlessly wandering, red was clicking up. At that point, I wondered if blue was actually worth the 2k elo; those early game mistakes cost him the match. Now, I sound harsh, but really blue made some good calls in the latter half. They just couldn't make up for the massive problems of the first half.

    In aoe3 theres a similar thing, any warship can garrison units inside and you can garrison artilery on firing mode, so you pop them out, do a volley, and back into the ship. Even in hybrid maps this is really strong, 2 or 3 culverins shots are huge vs frigates

    Honestly, the villagers just building a lumber camp rather than going with the original strategy might have been unintentionally genius 🐳🧠.
    It is very unlikely the opponent scouts random areas when attempting an all in and even if they do, if the economy is so spread out, it is hard to stop, as the villagers can keep on running away and occasionally hopping into towers and town centres.

    Garrison mechanics need a tweak I think. Units coming out of building should have their attack timer reset, and monks should lose 5% faith or something. With good enough micro, garrisoning is wild. For example its theoretically possible to garrison 20 arbs into a castle, have the castle fire, hop out and shoot with the arbs, then hop back in in time for the next castle volley.
