You're my new fav caster / aoe4 content creator. Not only do you cast games from different skill levels, but you provide great commentary, self-evaluation, reflection and insight that is both entertaining AND helpful! Actually quite unique in this space; keep this up man, you're onto a great formula. You deserve many thousands of subs! Trying to get the courage to send you a game of mine to cast hehe :) Thanks again from Oz.

Thanks so much, I really appreciate it. As long as you are enjoying the content, I'm happy. I'm glad you like the mixture on content and I look forward to casting one of your games very soon 😉

Well played. Since I play the Ayyubids a bit, I think in the shoes of the enemy, I would be looking to lock you in your base while I boom and go for resources outside. Since Bayz has very strong late game, what you could have done here is possibly fight under your TC while you age up and mass up. No point in taking those fights where you kept losing your horsemen and long bows. You could have used your horsemen to harass him instead to disrupt his boom. A fast castle would generally be classified as a trutle strat to get a tech advantage and go out on the map from there, so when Ayyubid ages up, the want to go out on the map, ie. boom. An agreesion kills a boom. So when he was turtling, ie, preparing for fast castle, you should have massed up a lot of units and put a lot of pressure on him. Pretty much sit on his gold so that even if he ages up, he won't have the gold to get the 3rd age tech or produce gold heavy units. The play style triagle is probably something I would love to have a discussion about with you sometime.

[@Amerath90]

Thanks for your comment. I completely agree that I could have fought under the TC and then massed up castle units and upgrades and pushed out, but sometimes I don't like that kind of long drawn out game, which is usually becomes, so I would rather quit. But what you mentioned is usually my plan. Defend against the initial camel harrass, get units and push them off gold to delay age up, tech and ghulam swarm while I go castle behind ready to have castle units to push out with. Especially as Ayyubids as all about timing and their age up doesn't scale, so if I hold out the initial point, it gets stronger for Byz. I just need to execute my plan better next time.

Nice content mate, Ayyubid needs a nerf.

[@Amerath90]

Cheers. I think a little nerf wouldn't be so bad because it's really easy to pull off and pretty hard to defend against. The main problem in my case is my terrible gameplay and not the civ balance lol XD
