I think 3 scouts would totally be worth it because you're not sacrificing vils to get them. If you steal away 5 more sheep with a 3rd scout vs 2 scouts, that amounts to 1k food/100 gold, further delays farms and forces opponent to do a farm transition earlier. This plays well into pro scouts, especially if you can steal your opponents hunts and starve them out of food.
yes i have a question, what does this build lose to? what are the weaknesses? cant i just ram rush some stuff as the opponent or just all in the vills? it took you 9 and a half minutes to produce 1 military unit
Yeah you could ram rush this build definitely however the golden gate gives you the flexibility to respond to that I think. You still got to be aware what your opponent is doing and if so I would buy some wood immediately and start building production if you think he will ram you.
Btw your second hunting cabin only gets half the worth cause you placed it to close to the first one. (It might say 22gold when you holding it before you actually build it, but if you check after its placed, it will only count non-taken trees aka not trees your first hunting cabin is taking
@@VittamarFasuthAkbin I know its not "always" half. But where he placed it. It was about half. 1st got 27 trees. Second clipped that and got 15 trees. Thats Almost half. Its 55% of what he could have gotten. And his whole plan was to make those hunting cabins for gold.
@@ActionRan from the wiki: Hunting Cabins generate a varying amount gold per tree; the larger the number of tagged trees, the less each additional tree contributes to the total gold generation every 30 seconds. so that placement isn't that important
@@VittamarFasuthAkbin I see, so the first tick is for 30 seconds which gives you gold per minute but its wrong cause it didnt go a full minute. 1:08 you see 27 trees = 10g (then 21g) 1:18 you see 15 trees = 7g (maybe later 14 then?) Its still 30% loss.
How do you protect yourself vs agressive players? I always get harassed early. And even if I try building military after getting rushed, they get a bigger army than me, and I cant really defend cause they started building army before me
if you go for the boar you should have better income aswell as the tower on the woodline. Can also get value from raiding and cutting off reinforcements to thin his numbers.
Awesome build! Couple questions. Don't know if I missed it being said, but do you find Rus not needing to touch a gold vein for a long time, a bit too much of a buff? I know Malians exist, but I was shocked at that. Also, is there a time Abbey of the Trinity can be worth going with this build?
Its a nice buff for sure. Maybe its too strong? Not sure will have to see in the coming months. I have been going HTH since it gives an extra 25g due to the changed bounty system however maybe abbey could be better vs Japan or HRE? Where you wanna get all the relics super quick however imo HTH is better longterm.
finally a new video!
Love these build order videos, keep them coming please
Thanks Wam! I have seen so many games of yours on other channels. Nice to finally "meet you".
This is incredible! Greatest Rus build order I've ever seen, I'm definitely using this one!
thank you for your time; I'm glad I discovered your channel
Great build order, will try it!
Rus updates are really nice
Great videos thank you. Map seems to help a lot with timings due to boar and deer nearby cluster
4:10 we lose the vill to the boar too right?
ye lol

As you see, and you sound a bit chocked it says 7gold and not 20g.
It says 27 trees from your first hunting cabin.
And the second says 15 trees
it's not half, since the gold bonus from trees is not linear. So it doesn't matter that much
@@VittamarFasuthAkbin

What is the most suggested landmark for imperial? I assume with the nerf of siege its still good but doesnt always need to be taken?
@@Fleshreaperrr you can do both but I still prefer high armoury making the siege cheaper is nice
@@Wam01 noted, thanks!

How should I respond to burger / man at arms rush? What is the best unit composition in early game?
I would start with horsearchers to help get relics but if you know they are going only MAA xbow is the best response.
