My comment was just as useless as all the rest, therefore similar, not ironic.Its definitely irony.

... Just like your response pointing this outA perfect example of a useless response.
did you even make a speadsheet?don't know why you keep listing 22% more resources and "3000 resources" when i have long since proven that you had no good reason to be adding wood+food+gold together. Just outs you as a troll honestly
cmonBruh has this thread really turned into a 'no, u' shitfest now? New low... Just like your response pointing this out
I did by showing 22% more Paladins blows the doors off the traders amount of Paladins, and everyone kept responding with unit counters and making up that the defender will just be better.

Dont worry, you wouldnt have looked at it like everyone else...did you even make a speadsheet?

You insult TheHand, who showed up in matches to proof this and lost. He was the only one who stepped up to the challenge, and I respect him for that.I have to start feeling a little sorry for RicoJay here, he has put so much time and effort into trying to convert people with heresy, and could have used this time to you know... get good at the game?
Ive said it 100x, but all things equal more resources is better. What you do with them is secondary.> "All things equal" literally means a flat featureless plane with 100 units on one side and 122 of the same unit on the other side.
> Talking about counters/micro is just making dhit up and not allowed.
> "Players of equal skill" means two chimpanzees trained to select units and right-click.
Just keeps getting better.

Who said anything about needing above average players? Is the meta that ONLY elite players should trade? I see noobs who dont even know to build a 2nd TC making trade. You have to defend that the meta is ALWAYS trade. I see NOBODY ELSE doing this in my 4v4 BF games. Noobs to players way better than me, they ALL trade.get 2 above average players to test your **** and shut up thats 17++ voobly which is like 2.1k HD, at low levels there are even more ****ing variables that the ones inherent to the game you already dont acknowledge.
Its only 36 pages. Plus two of your sentences are run-ons and need a comma or something.Proper grammar trolls are the worst. Like just because they write with punctuation and **** think they can get away with anything. A **** post is a **** post proper grammar long text or not.
I rather have a racist thread than this 37 pages bullcrap.
Yeah who doesnt make a 2nd tc to produce more tradecarts NotLikeThisI see noobs who dont even know to build a 2nd TC making trade.
The point is that even noobs got the meta memo to make trade, but they didnt get the memo on the faster and lower magnitude investment of more TCs. So dont bring me arguments that this is something only applicable to pro matches.Yeah who doesnt make a 2nd tc to produce more tradecarts NotLikeThis
the meta is by definition the "most optimal way of playing" and that is usually forged by expert players, so yes. The lower you go on the spectrum the likelihood of them straying away from the meta (usually because they don't know any better) is increased significantly. Therefore, the better the players, the better your test results should be.Who said anything about needing above average players? Is the meta that ONLY elite players should trade?

Also, feel free to keep your composure: cursing at strangers on the internet is peak silly.
But noobs arent straying far from the meta: if anything they are more married to trading in principle despite obviously being worse at turning a profit doing so. In my test matches vs TheHand, he made just 8 trade carts in each match and in neither one did he come close to turning a profit. Even now his response to this is to side with trading and say he would do so in future matches vs me. THAT is a devotion to a cult, not an unbiased view of a decision based on its profitability or not.the meta is by definition the "most optimal way of playing" and that is usually forged by expert players, so yes.

ok, so can you elaborate what exactly you are trying to prove here because I'm honestly lost.But noobs arent straying far from the meta: if anything they are more married to trading in principle despite obviously being worse at turning a profit doing so.

I do agree that things are almost never equal. Saying all things equal remains a way of communicating things that can be valid despite a complex system. Ive used the boar lure example: even in a complex game, its common optimal practice to lure boars. That helps your economy. You can obviously still go lose the game. Its like money IRL: more helps, but even the rich can go broke. All things equal, we should all be trying to optimize our economies. Thats job 1. Job 2 is strategy, unit choices, civs, working on your APM etc.ok, so can you elaborate what exactly you are trying to prove here because I'm honestly lost.
I think most people have actually agreed with you here that obviously you get more resources from not trading (for a short period of time), that is pretty logical, too. However, most people - including expert players and most of the community - do believe that most of the time the boost of those extra resources is not enough to decisively win a game in that one push. Just having a castle defending the chokepoint + repairing can buy a lot of precious time. At the same time you cannot argue for "all things being equal" because inherently the game is not equal, the map seeds are not equal and the players' skill levels will always deviate, you agree with that yeah? The majority here is basically just saying it is way safer to invest in trade than going all-in on a sell resources for gold and if the push fails you lose basis.
