When you
When you walk anywhere near a TC and get immediately jumped by 50 units, 20 of which just appeared out of thin air.
(Not that I'm complaining necessarily, but AoE3 really does feel like overglorified chicken sometimes where the first person to try sieging a TC inevitably gets swamped and cleaned up.)

[@SoldieRaoe]

Ya overcommitting can be a big mistake. That's why it's important to scout and read your opponent to understand what shipments they have sent and what could be next.
Also, you rarely need to kill a tc to win a game, it's more about containing and denying resources.

[@ミリまた]

Aye, I do like the general rule of thumb of, "If you have a shipment, they probably do too," but sometimes it does get difficult to predict if your enemy isn't floating two shipments for whatever reason.
I mean, sure, it's an advantage to be ahead on the shipment curve, but some of the nasty surprises they pull with the hidden shipment of doom...
Still, hey, ain't necessarily complaining. I mean, half the time I'm the FF'er jumping pikebow rushes with surprise falconets anyway.

0:17 i have an anti berry civ bias when i make maps xD

[@zachariastsampasidis8880]

5 tps but no silk road? Meh

[@JordiGarLee]

Cool game bro, one thing about this map though:
There were both berries and mines to the south east of the map, seeing you had map control, you could've dropped a castle in that corner instead of switching to rice paddies at minute 15.
Could've saved you 500 resources (and more, from rice P. upgrades), got you resources faster, and prevented the 15 settlers from being raided to death by the enemy cav 😅
Anyway, gg wp.
(Me rn --> ☝🤓)

[@SoldieRaoe]

Haha, thanks for the tips, I believe that is the first time I've played that map.

[@vivid_3429]

@@SoldieRaoe yes and no... it's a wet esoc klondike (unfortunately i had to straighten the river for the river tps)

[@zxcvbn-i3e]

Loved watching you play Asian civs.

[@gershonperetz6636]

Glad you back soldier

[@hari777777]

I think you should have shipped the cherry orchards instead of the farm, but you were anyway winning by then I guess

[@123youtoeb]

Gg! Not a fan of the 5 shrine card? Imo the best card for japan age2

[@SoldieRaoe]

If it was 5 shrines I would love it, but it's only 4, so it's 500w. The 600w card offers more flexibility. It's not a bad card tho, I should try it when doing toshuga builds!

[@123youtoeb]

@@SoldieRaoe no it really has a 5 shrine card now! Give loads of xp when building as well. Is amazing

[@SoldieRaoe]

@123youtoeb hmm, I looked at a few online references and you seem to be correct, tho they removed the bonus gather rate. I will have to add in that card

[@123youtoeb]

@@SoldieRaoe jeah i know thats a pity, but 5 shrines is the bomb! GL and thanks for the games!

[@roberttiessen2207]

If you would just keep your guys in there instead of running every fight you you wouldn't lose so many guys for no reason

[@ajbomba9489]

Yes Japan lets goooo!
