19:36 just an unpopular opinion here, since your knights will stomp the pikes easily i would assume that using the skirms to snipe the monks would have been the optimal move there. also, just a remark and tell me what do you think about it. regarding you going skirms in fuedal. going skirms costs us a little bit of an investment which can be used to upgrade scouts instead, and a fully upgraded sicilian scout kills a spear even in 1 vs 1 as long as the spear does not get all blacksmith upgrades which most ppl end up not doing until it's over for their spears. so i usually when i see spears coming out by enemy after i got a few scouts out i just keep going on scouts since his spears would all end up dying for nothing. that said, sicilian scout wins vs a spear only if the scout is fully upgraded and the spear has zero ugprades which is usually the case since ppl are not used to the idea that even damage buff can tip the scale in a spear vs scout fight. i do think that the best way to respond to sicilian scouts is archers actually in general.
@@ryanforgo3500 With Sicilians going full scout could definitely be the best move. Honestly, FC sergeants might be Sicilians best opening using Phosphoru style
@@survivalistgameplay6593 yea i can see that, also vs aztecs i would assume that map control might be the best move, as in controling all the gold since aztecs can't function without gold at all. and one of the best moves to do that would be using sergeants to control the map with donjons. or at least if it's a boom game building 4-5 tcs just ot get sergeants out then use them to gain map control over gold. either way cheers it's always fun watching you squeeze your brain in a game to reach the next level.
oh damn survivalist playing my favorite castle-knights civ :D 6:04 moonwalking scout btw :D
