      I want to request a "how to use siege for beginners" tutorial.
      I'm always afraid of using siege (we except trebs) because in my head, siege hurts more than helps. Would like to know use cases for mangonels, scorpions, bombard canons and how to use them effectively with micro.

    I usually do an amazing archer rush. It destroys at most 3 of my opponents houses and destroys my own eco. Then later in the gameI I lose at least 4 trebs the second I look away. Pretty proud of my gameplay, honestly

    fantastic video! this is exactly the kind of content that i want and need for this game. the script is great, very general info, very structured and systematic, finding the right terms to describe the phenomenons in a typical game.
    what i would love is if the script and the gameplay clips would "interlock" even closer so you could give more details about HOW you do something mechanically.
    please keep up the good work

      At some point it's difficult to actually have a clip for what I'm talking about as I'd have to just happen to play a game with that situation recently. Any of the clips that weren't from actual games were just mocked up in the scenario editor, which was about half of them.
      Real clips are obviously much better, but real games don't always play out in the most optimal way, so it's difficult to show what I'm talking about in a less controlled environment.

    I've done what looks like Assaults plenty, although I've never thought of forcing a reaction, I do it in response to large unit pushes, so I simply just find a number of enemy barracks/ranges/workshops to destroy and slow down production.
    I do know one tip not given. In the interest of preserving your units in a Siege, don't forget to spare a villager or two to repair them, if push comes to shove it can help to keep them firing.

      As a suggestion for a future video. It would be nice to know under which circumstances you should consider going imp over building more units.
      That's also an interesting question for going to castle age because newbies like me are often stuck in feudal or castle age and going up way to late.

      The way to level the playing field. Freeze time. Like FTL. Like Stellaris. Like surviving mars. Like banished. Like oxygen not included. Like rim world, Prison Architect.

      ​@@yvangaming4063 Keeping the TC running at all times. If you want to improve, then keeping villager/house production is something that needs to become automatic.
      I'd say ignore your opponent and just focus on your own macro. If you can do this, then 1000+ is basically free.
      Instead of thinking about strategy, think about macro until you don't have to think about macro anymore (it's automatic). It's the same concept for learning hotkeys. You'll have surely gotten to the point where you don't have to think about some of your hotkeys. Eventually you won't have to think about queuing villagers, which will free up your brain to think about micro/strategy.

      @@yvangaming4063 at 600 elo you should just focus on maintaining villager production and ensuring you spend your resources (don't bank them up) Also when you make an army, have an idea of what you plan to use it for. Leaving it standing around is a waste of the investment. This doesn't mean, don't make an army, but you should use scouting to inform you of the type of army to make and what to do with it when you have made it. At 600 elo however, you won't be able to do all of this, but if you make a start now you will fin that you will be better later on than someone who just learns one build mechanically and doesn't understand why it works.
