Hi guys,
I am at a lower Elo level and very often I find myself in the following situation:
Me: Cavalry Civ (e.g. Magyars, Berbers,...)
Opponent: Archer Civ (e.g. Ethiopians, Britons..)
Most of the time my opponent will go for Militia->M@a->Archer->Xbows.
So he can pressure me in early Feudal Age is still able to produce a lot of army (Archers) and will have a solid castle age time since he won't lose any food to army (except if he produces 1 or 2 Spearman)
Now I don't really know what to do in situations like this. i usually build my 2-3 additional scouts and try to disturb his eco a bit. But I don't want to produce more scouts since they cost a lot of food and I rather spent the food on my vills.
Also I sometimes fall a little bit behind if I cannot clean his militia or m@a immediately.
But if just keep my 3-4 Scouts i won't be able to stop his army (only if I get very lucky).
I surely can build a defensiv tower. But then my opponent can just pressure me from a different side and I must go on stone for a second tc later on.
When arriving in Castle Age my Opponent goes for his upgrades (X-bows, bow saw, bodkin)..
What should I do here?
- Use skirms?
- Just boom up and hope for the best?
- Produce more Scouts?
I know it most of the time depends on the map, playstyle etc...
