I've been playing this game for a few years now, mainly on HD but now mostly Voobly.
My rating is about 1500 and at this level it's starting to get difficult.
It's frustrating because I've put in so many hours but am still at a "noob" level.
Also, maybe this is something which people can easily say when they get past a certain level (like how difficult concepts can seem actually really simple once you understand them), but it's frustrating how pro players (i.e. Daut) say things like "The only thing you need to do to get to 1800 is xyz" etc. Even Hera's recent youtube guide started at 1600.
My own opinion is that I usually have a good dark age and feudal age, and through my experience I have some good intuition, e.g. knowing which of 2 armies will have the upper hand.
My weak points are that I often throw the game away in Castle Age (although I think I'm getting better at the Castle Age), and sometimes my early game is bad due to not knowing the build orders precisely. Also I tend to do better with archer builds rather than scout builds.
Here's the last game I played, which I lost:
Thanks!
