Hi, I played this 1v1 ara game franks vs teutons vs some asian guy today. It was not my first game with this guy and every time I had this weird feeling about the game.
So we both went scouts and pikes opening then he added archers and I went for FC with some short walls. He did not get in although he put a lot effort and I was 3 minutes faster in castle age and later also 3 mins faster in imperial age. I took advantage of the up time and did some good raid in early imp with cavs.
What feels weird to me is that although we had about similar pop he collected way more resources especially in feudal age where he got like 5 vills more yet his collected resources were dramatically better. Another thing is that even though I was 3 mins faster in castle age and had second farm upgrade for free his eco was still way better. It just does not make any sense to me. It feels like his villagers were just collecting the resources like 5-10% faster than mine the whole game.
I would be glad for any feedback considering eco balance. The game was played on 19+ 1v1 DE level. I played couple of hundred games and couple of thousand games in tgs so I got some feeling about how eco works and this one is just weird to me.
@Rayne I would especially apperciate your analytic skills about this one
