I often die to man at arms openings, especially if im playing a scouts civ like huns/franks.
What would be some of your tips to defend against Man at arms, and maybe even get counter-damage?
- What to look for to confirm that the opponent is going for MAA and not straight archers?
- If you know there are MAA coming, should you change plans to make a range instead of a stable? Or defend some other way and send scouts forward?
- If you did not expect the MAA and they show up at your base, what then? What steps do i take to minimize damage and keep my eco running? I cannot quick wall, but could, for example, abandon one side and try to secure the other.
Thank you for your suggestions, and sorry if this has already been covered!
