"You yap a lot" Imagine saying that to a streamer whose job it is to entertain with his train of thought. People are so fucking brainrotted. Love u Lexiav ur content is great
@@mr.fisher3379 EXACTLY. It's like, OK, *you do it*. It's not easy to commentate on your own gameplay when you're essentially trying to speedrun every bloody second of your turn. Seriously, that kind of concentration isn't in everyone's wheelhouse. Personally, I've been playing H3 since the day it was originally released, and I could *never* play at this speed, let alone constantly comment on my assessments each turn. It'd wreck my concentration!
@ Even after 20+ years of playing... hmmm... no, no I do not think so. I'm just being honest. :) I used to be a competitive saber fencer, and even though that action happened at an insanely quick pace, I don't think I could handle the current H3 timers. I'd need at LEAST 3 more minutes at the start. It waaayyy stresses me out when Lexi's on 60s and trying to build like 6 structures in the final 3-6 seconds, LMAO! :D :D :D That's nuts.
Morale and Luck in H3 are actually super-pivotal sometimes. Essentially, they make the difference at the beginning of the game and at the end. At start, you worry that wandering armies on +1 will just go wild and get like 3-4 extra turns. At the endgame, let's be honest... if a stack of 30+ BDs proc morale and luck... that's *huuuge.* Even worse if it's Titanu firing their lightning blasts! ⚡⚡⚡
Hear me out. Here is a quote from Lexiav 2:53 "usually investment Stronghold beats Castle late game" There is new Duel Stronghold strat: You start Yog and resource bonus. You make Cyclops in bunker day 3 by collecting resources from bunker You flag 1-2 cyclops dwelling on the way to mid (you can take it, I ve tried many times). You go for triple build Cyclops week 2 with potential Picket. Lvl 24 Yog has 80% boost to Cyclops stats. Drawbacks: you start with ballistics sometimes you leave bunker late day 4 or day 5 It's hard for me to 3x build and getting air + earth from conflux, but I am sure better players can do that Sometimes bunker doesnt generate extra resources, but it's rare and you can spend reset on it Someone competent test it and tell me how it went 😂😂
You don't need to start with Yog for that strategy. Actually jabarkas is not that bad because of build path and you will take ogres anyway + secured archer skill
@@redenici The point is to have strong late game stack. It's easy to roll Archery with barbarian. Jabarkas makes Cyclops weaker + it's hard to fit in early birds into this build so +1 speed on cyclops is also good. I don't take ogres or orcs from bunker, because of speed (jabarkas kinda mitigates orcs speed) and I don't want to bleed them in Cyclops dwellings unnecesarilly. You can try it and compare both :D I tried Yog, Tyraxxor for easy Cyc dwellings and Saurug for interference + wisdom into bunker box (force field bereak). I feel like Yog is the best for this. Now that I think Oris might be good with new eagle eye, so you can go bow of the sharpshooter + bunker box
He does that because it saves him moves that he will spend on the rest of his turn. To you and me it will look ridiculous, but with thousand of games under his belt, Lexiav is often right about skipping some pretty strong arties
Pellejager is right. Essentially, there's always the "getting caught one step short of the town" thing. Or not having 200 movement points (or 300!) for a Town Portal casting at the end of a turn. More importantly, DD'ing to a large objective--such as a stockpile--yields better net resources (many of all) rather than loose piles (a few of one). 💪😎✌️ When you know what you're doing, it's a no-brainer on 90% or more occasions.
Interested to know how the point system works as you picked up 7 points from this game with about an 80 points difference vs opponent yet yesterdays game you picked up 11 points with a points difference of about 180 vs opponent. Shouldn’t it be the other way around?

@@Novastar.SaberCombat You'd probably get used to it over time if you played as competitively as he has

Ring of Suppression is like anti-hilarity in a Lexiav video 😢 also definitely his best starting artifact. Morale is Lexiav greatest nemesis 😅

Well the real question is why it is tier 1 artifact
Hear me out. Here is a quote from Lexiav 2:53 "usually investment Stronghold beats Castle late game"
There is new Duel Stronghold strat:

Lvl 24 Yog has 80% boost to Cyclops stats.

sometimes you leave bunker late day 4 or day 5

interesting strat
Finally properly equipped! Ggs!
i recall this game, i started playing 25 years ago, but it looks different, many things are changed.
It's really better now !
Well balances by HotA team !
@hippopolove where to start? Any donwload links and how to install please?
I sometimes see you skip picking up stuff even though you're right next to it, did you this time because you had advanced pathfinding?

What is the map template?

The only thing I know in that regard is that map size influences rating changes
The bigger templates= bigger points
Ah ok, got it. Thanks
Dont hobgobbos with Gretchen have 8 speed vs rocs 7?
Yup, they do.
:3
Boooooooommmmmm
first!
