I thing i got to plat season 1 then gave up as games was far to drawn out and stressfull, Always went all in to have a quick game, good rush though. I played again recently and gold players are definitely better than thry were on release, they all have a iron will to not quit as well. If you want some one to practice with give me a shout im planning on getting back into it.
You are 100% correct lol. At gold level the games are way too drawn out and it does become stressful. Can take like an hour just to win one game, and at 150apm a single game is very taxing on the brain lol.
Something Ottoman specific that I havent seen mentioned. He really trolled his military schools. These produce free Units automatically and are extremely valuable to kill. In every ottoman guide you build the Military schools directly next to the TC for utmost protection but this guy trolled and you could have just destroyed it without being in range of TC. Also if he didnt choose the greedy landmark which is generally worse and micro-ed a bit better he actually might have defended your rush without doing anything else strategically. Kinda lucky how bad he was honestly, looked like he was first timing ottoman or never watched a guide before.
I know! He was pretty bad and it still took me 18 mins haha. You’re right, I could have destroyed the military school without being in range of the TC.
Once you push them off gold and corral them in their base you can probably go castle and dive the TC with castle MAA with upgrades. They can sit underneath the TC for years and not give a shit. You had the game won after you pushed him off gold and food and secured a couple worker kills - clinching the game in feudal as HRE is definitely hard. Use your superior eco to get to castle when you have a good push like this and you'll wrap the game up much more quickly
Great comment, yeah I think I was too scared aging up and losing my early rush advantage by not producing more MAA. Makes a lot of sense why it took me so long though. Thanks again.
@@KFear people are good at this game. Wait till you get into plat and get stuck trying to push into diamond. HRE is very predictable. Your opponents know exactly how to stop you from doing what HRE is good at. But as you learn more about the other civs, you get better too so it all evens out
Yeah this is what I was saying, if people in gold are this good, I can’t even imagine diamond etc. I have to really try and not be too bothered about my rank going up or down lol. Yeah you’re right about HRE being predictable.
Aachen forward next time place next to the gold. Better place and behind tc. To much wood. Get a rams earlier. Don't ever dive the tc like that. Burn production or something. So much unused wood. You can take a break in your push and age up after doing suffiecent damage. Castle age m@a crusader feudal. You have so many times were you can go for his production at the bottom for free.
These are great comments, thank you. I think my MAA kept accidentally running under TC and also thought I could sacrifice a few to get some villagers/monks. Yeah definitely too much wood. I understand no chapel on gold but went for food and wood instead. Thanks again.
I'm also in gold 2 I've had a winstreak of 15 and now I'm just kinda stuck on gold, some players are just so bad and some are pretty good lmao so i win one game and then will lode the second one xd
people have got better at the game generally, so Gold league may feel more like the plat league in former seasons. Nobody should really feel bad about that. As competition gets more fierce, so your rank will drop. It would make you feel like you've got worse but no, others could have gotten better. I struggle to get past plat 1 in solos. That said there are so many big beginner errors you're making here. Feudal maa are not very strong, especially without armor upgrades. You need to be causing them idle time on resources, not running in under a fully garrisoned town center with 4 MAA. You might be struggling because you're just a casual player who's expected to walk into ranked ladder and get wins without studying the game and looking at your own mistakes? If you're going to do a feudal push, you need rams. You can't just dive under a TC with feudal maa, unless you have some serious numbers. Did you know Deer have a much higher gather rate than berries? If so why go for berries before your pocket deer at the back?
Yeah gold wasn’t this difficult a few seasons ago lol. Yeah I went for villagers under TC, not great I suppose. And I don’t usually go deer because I don’t want to micro killing the deer lol. Going castle and getting castle MAA makes a lot of sense yeah, thanks for the feedback 😁
@@KFear You'll gather much quicker from deer nonetheless + HRE villagers can carry more which means lesser walking time. Or even better bring 8 vills + a prelate to a boar and you'll be feasting
It can be countered in many ways. Not allowing this to be strong kills game diversity and strategic gameplay. I hate playing like this but o boy defending and winning against that strat feels good.
The comments on this video were so helpful, and it's exactly why I posted the video. Thanks everyone.

Not only are you buffing your gold vills. You are also better set up for a later farm transition as the farms are safer in the back.
I'm also in gold 2 I've had a winstreak of 15 and now I'm just kinda stuck on gold, some players are just so bad and some are pretty good lmao so i win one game and then will lode the second one xd
It’s exactly the same for me, I’m now gold3 and it’s putting me against really good players lol.

Just seems so boring. TC should realisticly 4 shot those man at arms
Arrow armour upgrade helps though

TC should be sieged but also armoured units should be able to tank some for that damage from Fort Towers or TCs.
