    well I think Cataphracts are too expensive for what they offer, (and Urumi are quite good)

      obviously, but the thing is its very difficult to do so. Every single one of Cataphract upgrades are way more expensive then Urumi swordmans, and even the unit itself gold cost wise cost around 4 times more.

      @ryanforgo3500 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Well, it was more about how matador expected better result so he did not mass up.
      20 cataphracts will still probably smash 40 urumis EASILY. But what happened is that matador never massed them as he expected 10 more or less to clean house.
      That said it is only natural to tun out of gold faster if you spam catas. That's why we mass, attack with a big pack/punch and end it in one sweep if we use heavy cavs.

    • @bassegoder
      @bassegoder ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Definitely Red played too passive, in some moments he could have snowballed and stall Viper's economy... As he said, catas are stronger in low numbers... And skirms are low damage output but hard to clean....

      If you want to take on urumis in melee, you need elite battle elephants or war elephants. Or, just make arbs. Arbs with trash in front will melt urumis.

      @@valger3652 @valger3652 He took too long and burned too many resources by the time he got FU catas. Catas will kill urumis when you have 1 cata for 2 urumi. But it's not overwhelming, and it's worth it in terms of gold cost imo.
      Also, samurai will lose to urumi when you consider everything, and leitis are only good once you have 4 relics.
      idk about pole cav, but just mix in halbs in the worst case.
      All this is to say, don't try to take on dravidians in melee in late game unless you are one of like 3 civs.

    I think the next evolution in micro should be better villager usage: walling friendlies, walling enemies, blocking flanks, influencing movements, forward buildings, repairing siege, and collecting resources when necessary. It might cause more usage of ranged units, but I think it would be interesting, especially with Inca (or whoever gets the armor upgrades.) I should try it myself, but I’m not skilled enough to do it well.
