Hi!
This is a game I played with a friend vs the UnfairSteel custom AI. It seems to be a bit weaker than Barbarian to me, but we wanted to try something else. The Map was Green Arabia, civs: Saracens(my friend), Mayans , Franks (AI), Goths (AI). I was closer to the Frank player so I drushed and went for Xbows. My teammate got under heavy pressure and I couldnt quite rescue him.
That leads to my first question: Should I have pulled everything back to keep him alive?
I decided to take out the Franks player instead, which took too long due to micro mistakes and not being focussed enough I guess. As UnfairSteel never gives up, Franks were still alive but technically out of the game and my teammate gave up. So the game shifted to a 1v1, me as Mayans vs AI's Goths, which is one of the worst possible matchups. Still I managed to reach a stalemate until I gave up as I didnt want my friend to wait all day for our next game.
Second question: What could I have done vs the Goths to actually win? Army control wasnt great but the game was laggy so there wasnt much room for kiting wiht plums. Looking at the recording I should probably have raided him with EEW maybe?
Just let me know what you think as I have the feeling I could have won if I would have focussed and got my **** together.
Any other tips and comments are also welcome of course!
