  • Endless man at arms with the Bulgarians in AoE2:DE. With a fresh account how many games can I win on the ranked ladder? Leave your predictions in a comment below.
    Watching the last game back and I can see some opportunities to do some more damage, especially when he's building the tower behind the barracks. I should have dived in right there but I didn't see the opportunity in the moment.

    Nice video! As you start with 200 stone and never use it in this strategy, there is some space for improvement. Collect 50 more stone and go for 2 towers in a spots where you can't hit directly with the man-at-arms. For example in the last game a single tower behind his wood line (which he wouldn't even notice before it'd be up) would win the game. Send 2-3 vills to tower up and add 2-3 vills from the TC to keep your eco on the proper level

    Been trying something similar with goths, but I was going up relatively normal at 21 pop and was also making the MAA from 2 baracks, that I put at 2 different locations next to his base. Obviously I'm lacking the speed and often the enemy is ready to defend himself or counter raid me. Nonetheless, it worked many times and is definitely a lot of fun! Perhaps I'll try your build soon, or adjust so that I could make vils behind it...
    Anyways, this is an amazing idea and I really hope you turn this into a big series, it was super fun to watch!

      @@matthaeushilpold2134 Lithuanians allows a faster dark age rush of militia and possibly faster Feudal. However the M@A upgrade is 140 resources and involves a training time and idling barracks production. Bulgarians are strong not only because they skip the cost of M@A upgrade but because the upgrade is instant upon arriving Feudal. Militia trained in dark age will arrive just in time to be upgraded by the bonus. Not to mention in this strategy it's not a typical M@A rush to slow the opponent with 3-5 but is an ongoing spam of them to overwhelm and close out the game. A Lithuanian style would promote a fast castle behind Militia whilst Bulgarians better promotes the M@A spam.
      Both have a bonus to help the strategy yes, I would argue Bulgarians bonus is that little bit better in this case.

      @@matthaeushilpold2134 its a very 'cheesy' all in strategy. It might pay off for you in winning some games but if you cant find the damage considering your large investment then you will lose.
      You wouldnt see this at a pro level as they easily counter it with walling vills and getting archers out to kite MaA. The heavy investment into so many MaA would delay castle too much and then they would quickly lose to knights or simply get outboomed.
      3 militia should be enough to delay your opponent. If you make 10 you essentially need to kill them for it to pay off.

I understand from the video you re-assign vills here and there to prevent falling short on Wood for Barracks and Mill/ Lumber Camp or getting TC idle time...
