1:50 If you want to branch out strat wise you can learn 2 stable knights, very good beginner strat (doesn't require much micro of your units to work well) that takes advantage of the power spike at the start of castle age and you can play it more 'defensively' by walling your base and making a single spear to patrol outside looking for scouts/archers to give you an early warning/time to make another spear if they're going scouts or if they're going archers you have a stable to make scouts and chase them away! I would also advise choosing the same civ each game so you get a better understanding of them and their bonuses (Franks + Magyars good choices for the above strat!) Also generally you don't want to do tech upgrades till you have an army (you got thumb ring before creating any archers for example) and when you pulled all your vills out of the castle to retreat you could've used them to smash the ram, in situations where the is no army around you can use your vills to fight the ram edit: saw you used vills later on vs a ram :)
The goal should be to time your 19 vill and then the loom upgrade when you're nearing 500 food so as soon as loom is done you age up. You put too many vills in que (from videos i have watched) when getting close to the 20 pop mark causing you to have to wait to age up bc you lack food and then the time it takes those vills to make.
4 on wood is fine. But you need to get 3 on berries, 4 on wood and the rest on pigs/sheep etc. You should also bring in the boars earlier. You should look to age up around 20-22 pop which is 19-21 vills.
Nice, I think 890 elo is the highest elo I ever got. But that was when the game first came out. My brother's around 1000 elo but he always goes for elephant civs. Just goes into the enemy's base with lots of elephants and destroys the place.
@@joshualinse9000 Yeah that's what happened to me one time when I tried elephant strategy. Watching all my elephants get converted by monks was so pain fall. But I think what my brother does is attack before there able to make monks.

Thanks for the advice and thanks for watching. I've already recorded a game but next game I play I'll try the 2 stable knights.
Lastly, you should look to bring in your second boar before your first has ran out. so the vils can make the quick chnage.

Mind you, take all this with a grain of salt. I'm only 938 rated 😅but a month ago I was in the 800's. Been finding my groove lately with the Koreans.
