Well, short answer is you gave up too quickly. Sure you lost some battles, but that doesn't mean you lost the war.
Long answer is:
-lack of diversification in units - check
-relying on mainly gold units - check
-lack of micro in the later attacks - check
Personally, I think you should have been pumping out light cavs, halberdiers and other disposable units and overwhelmed him that way, while saving your gold units for strat attacks
Hi,
Was it random civs or you chose britons? Anyway, I am happy to see no huns in this game. In the evening I will watch your rec and give you feedback. My favourite civ are britons.
I don't know exactly but you could have had fletching researched earlier, made castles earlier, treb'ed him.You had a clear cut advantage, you didn't push him.

Hi,
So I watched your rec. In feudal you built up your defense nicely. The eco was quite good until the end of feudal. That time you have too much wood. It made your slower. In castle age you were too defensive. The boom was good, and you upped quite quickly. But you had stronger army. You should have gone and disturb his eco at home. Somehow your ups are slow. You had 1800 food when you clicked Imperial. Try to up as soon as possible, build the necessarz buildings sooner. You hit Imperial faster. YOu should have attacked him with your arbalests and some rams. Collect more stone and build castles for trebs. Elite Longbowmen are also much better than arbalests. You had low pop in imperial. With britons you can build lots of TCs. You had only three. Build Siege workshops closer to the enemy. Build more than one. If you were more agressive, you could have won easily. When you castle fell on the top of the hill next to the goldmines. You had 180 pop vs his 120. All you would need to do was killing him. I dont know what were you waiting for. Man, you really resigned too early. You still had more pop at the end. Watch the rec.
I see, that it was a random civs game. You didnt lose because of civs. Be more agressive, and you can win.
brits are so under-used...in these days vs huns CA spamming....brits >>>> CA....mass faster ...cheaper...and the +1 range is so lethal in castle age. brits ftw.
no, he meant brit xbow>huns CA. with nice micro it can be true
Hi Juan_Pedro,
I am very happy, that you are trying to play some other civs than huns. If you are still interested in Britons, here is a collection posted by me some time ago. All of the games are played by good players using Britons.
