00:35 I was wrong. They were a premade team. (Looked them up later.) 01:56 I'm happy with my start. 09:51 This was worth losing my Khan for. 14:45 A trick I learned recently: click on a building in the distance so troops will not shoot (and alert the enemy to your presence) until I am close enough to make good kills. 17:53 I intended to double-click the pastures instead of the villagers. 18:24 Sending a Keshik to deal with the wolf on the trade. (I hate the continuous alarm from that pest.) 19:24 TO IMPROVE: I still click buttons too much instead of using hotkeys. 21:02 I left those vills idle for too long. 22:11 The idea is fine, to attack green's base while his army is away. Little did we know that orange is doing most of the eco for green. 24:18 I had a lot of TC idle time here :( 25:00 Floating too much, especially gold. Perhaps buy some food and go imp? 25:20 Did not expect him to be imperial. (Orange had been donating.) 25:33 Perhaps this was a stupid move, I hoped that garrisoning those vills in the towers would deter him from my base. But his knights were already too tanky. In the coming half hour I will find out that: - age III Mangudai do little vs age IV Royal Knights (age IV Mangudai will do ok later) - I should have built spearmen earlier - I should have built a far away refugee TC earlier - I should have bought food and wood when I needed it (with my trade still running I mostly had enough gold) 52:00 The Spearmen and Cannon Towers are an effective deterrence to the knights. Slowly getting back into the game. 52:40 From this moment on, I will keep raiding their trade. 53:00 TO IMPROVE: I am not producing even though I have enough resources... mentally I'm still not back yet. 1:07:17 The Cannon Towers will turn out to be a very good investment!
