As a Magyars player, I got to learn alot from this one. Thanks Surv! I'm gonna use the whole Knight spam timing vs the extreme AI and see how it pans out. After a few attempts, I shall play some ranked.

14:41 I think this game was a lot closer than it seemed. If Blue was 30 secs later with armour and / or Red 30 secs earlier with bodkin, Red's 20 xbow could have dealt with low knight numbers and it snowballs the other way.

Agreed

Hey Survivalist! A query (or two):
Around 15:10, blue has three stables and two TCs with 21 farmers and 12 gold miners and you mention the option of building a third TC.
Is the third stable just to quickly spend all the res blue had banked in feudal? He's barely able to afford knights from two stables when the game ends and the 2nd TC is idle a bunch.
Do you still prefer getting the TCs down before farms? Or is the idea to transition away from knights after you do damage since at that point the economy can support one or the other but not both?

[@survivalistgameplay6593]

Adding TCS implies that you add farms to support them. Moveable had cleaned up red's army so applying pressure with existing knights and booming was a great option. Siege pushing the front to end the game also would be good (though red just let the knights in by not walling behind the palisade gate in time)
