learned a bit on this one, but I always find myself getting feudal rushed with a billion archers that I just can't answer when delhi against ottoman. how do you deal with that? always feel like I have half the units they have.

You need to take the sites really quickly in order to force engagements from the ottoman player, your archers with attack speed should be very good killing your opponents archers in small numbers. If they get a really big deathball of archers with multiple mehters then it can become a bit hard, that's why it's good to force them into fighting you when armies are still small/medium sized. If they ignore the sites in order to get a big archer ball you can get to castle age and win with knights

@@LucifroN7 thanks man. biggest thing with me is consistency, and trying to figure out when its safe to castle. lately I've been trying this thing where I slowroll castle with one villager on the landmark, so that I can keep building up an army - when they do the age up rush, I'm not empty like I'd seem to be, provided they don't scout me too hard. I just feel like I'm always on a clock though with otto. and that I never, ever have enough wood.

Do you think in this matchup, Otto should mass in II denying sacred sites?

[@LucifroN7]

yes, I think it's almost mandatory to contest sites vs delhi
