Defending raids is not my forte - Road to Conqueror - Byzantine vs Rus

- Another match where I am trying to get Byz 2TC to work. It's definitely a work in progress. The macro, the micro and everything in between. But I feel like I am learning a lot and it's slowly sinking in. See what you think in this particular game.
Road to Conq...Rus - "hold my beer"
Haha I know, right. If I can figure out how to crush knight civs and not defend their raids like I am blind, my Elo will take a leap 😂
I like how you also uploaded your losses. I'm really struggling this season. I won loads of games as French just rushing knights and then hit a wall and now I lose every single battle. Keep going :D
@@KFear Yeah I decided that I didn't want to only show wins because it shows my journey and I don't always have enough wins to show lol
I was terrible at defending the raids, but I think I did pretty well against the big push in my base. I'm learning a lot even when getting dominated 👍🏻
French mass knights destroys me every time. Who says Byz is op and French suck...
Sounds like the patches are like a presidency shift for a new conqueror. But instead to elect which new civilisations can win with zero strategic prowess over another. as S tier Verse F- tier kind of thing.
( Definitely ok for the campaign. Because even if it is the civilisation I like to play. I would feel cheated or dissatisfied. But if my civilisation was nerfed hardcore tense.
Then I would get tired of playing the game for excessive struggling only to feel like I am going nowhere. Or even when I do dominate first place, it is tiresome more so than enjoyable )
@@EmyajNosdrahcirEniacSovereign At the very top level, the small balance differences have an effect on your results in a lot of matches, but in Conq 1-2 and below I think any civ is viable and the balance of the game right now is really good. All the pros say OOTD is the worst civ at the moment, but I know someone who is playing them and about to hit Conq 1. It's more about your decision making and strategy imo
I know beeing so hard to youself keeps you growing, but i really liked your defense, it really wasnt that bad ::3
How he split the Knights and Scouts to attack singly building just to annoy, while still trying to pick some Vills out, was pretty good cordinated.
Haha I'm glad you enjoyed it. His raids were really good and my raid defending was terrible. I was pretty happy how I defended his big push though.
The age up wasn't necessary because you can beat knight archer with feudal units, but having castle upgrades definitely helps.
I learnt a lot from that game, so it's all good 😊
@@Amerath90 Soo you mass produce spears and hit the bows with cavalry? For some civs you have MAA, who would help to tank some hits i guess. But i just cant figure out to win against them without Xbows and my own knights. Because having lots of spears is counterrd by the bows. MAA wouldnt be very affective for fighting but tanking the damage of bows and would be probably capable of taking on knights(?)
I probably dont see a option that Byz is having here, because they can have so many different units, but i would really want to know, with which units you would counter them. Early Knights are scary, especially for a Civ that gets so easily Gold like Rus.
@@Chibiarts Yeah for most civs, that is the plan. Spears to beat knights and horses to kill the archers before they get your spears. As Byz, you get access to javalin throwers which are anti ranged units and they work well against the archers too, but I find that you don't get enough early on so you still need horses unless you have crazy good micro. You can also go spear archer, but that also required a lot of micro to beat their archers and not lose all your spears and not let the knights get your archers. Horses also give the opportunity to raid which means your opponent has to send units home to defend or lose their eco.
Feudal MAA aren't great in that match up because knights destroy them and archers can kite them relatively easily. But having a few to tank isn't bad if you can make contact with the archers.
That being said, I am pretty bad against knight civs at the moment. I know the theory but the execution is a work in progress XD
Good looking base that’s for sure.
@@joebosworth286 I was particularly proud of the tower at the front that I walled in.
I defend like crap, but my bases normally look great 😂
@@Amerath90 Satisfying Tower Count: 2 ;D Its something you usally dont see, because its probaly not effective from the wood cost (i guess?), but it just looks like something you would see in real life, or at least in a campaign build outpost. Its just... ART.
@@Chibiarts I knew you'd like it. I just wanted to keep the tower safe to use it in the fights, so the wall kind of made sense to me. Also I love a pretty base so it's a win win 😂
@@Amerath90 If you would get ranked for "beauty of base building", this walls alone would boost you to Conq-Level🥸
