Hi,
I am a steam player rated at 1620 and I played against a 1890 on arabia. While it's not really a surprise that I lost, I genuinely thought that I had the upper hand for quite a lot of the game and hence I am asking advice on what I should have done. This is only the second tower rush that I have played against so it threw me a bit (the first time I was trushed I had no idea that it was even a valid strategy and got mauled...)
Here is the game (sorry, I couldn't get it to show the match details - we both randomed Aztecs):
Here are my views on what I should have done but I am not convinced that even following these would have won me the game:
- On my initial archer raid, I should have just killed as many vills at the wood camp as possible. The reason that I chose not to in game was that I knew his skirms were close so decided to find another lumbercamp / gold mining camp (which didn't exist at that point)
- Once he towered his resources I had absolutely no idea how to raid him
- Had no idea how to counter the towers as Aztecs to basically just ignored them
- Didn't really know what to do against the skirms in feudal so I kept producing archers in the hope that I would be able to raid with them and get a faster castle time. I would have produced scouts if I wasn't Aztecs (though he probably wouldn't have made as many skirms...). In castle I decided to go for rams / xbows but it didn't work out since he was really pressuring me at that point
- With all of the warning noises from the towers, I didn't realise that my xbows were under attack and they got massacred =s
- I forgot to build tcs when I hit castle even though I had the resources (doh!)
- His dark age was faster - I need to check my tc more regularly so that it is never idle
Any help and advice is welcome.
Thanks!
Jonathan
