The Viper keeping his cool even after losing a TC to the the early pressure, and then taking his sweet old time to systematically wrestle the center island out of Daut's hands, is peak performance. What a way to stay in control of the game even when he seemed to be losing.
@@cfban he always had so little army, Viper had no gold at the start of the push, Daut should have used all his gold into savar instead of hand cannoneer and kamandaran for trashbows, he could have massed a lot of xbows before hitting imp and won earlier. I think Daut took gold for granted and tried to do both savar and hand cannoneer for a powerful push but ended up losing the middle and losing his heavy cavalry because he invested so much gold into hc.
Plus his production on land and sea was too low, besides if he went for galleons with a little mass he could probably micro down halbs or just demos as they do very well. Demos would have slaughtered everything.
I feel he got hard countered for so long. Why no Kamandaran crossbows? Or literally anything except expensive heavy cavalry? Even longswords will beat a guy who's making halbs and nothing else.
The reason why goths get dromons is because they're a classical age civ from before gunpowder and the only reason why they are a classical age civ with hand cannoneers is cause originally they represented spain as well.
Cast! idk whats going on, ever since the day I said hi in your chat before the show, I havent been able to chat in or view ANY live chats. I thought maybe I was banned, but I made a new account and it didnt work either, so mad about it. Hopefully I fix it before the next live. PS, HI KAT
@@castofempires nah i never suspected you of banning shenanigans, but i do run my mouth in lots of comment sections, so i thought maybe the YT ghouls did. BUT, it seems to have fixed itself this week, so I'll see you at the next livestream chat)

Goths getting dromons Is somewhat accurate historically, as dromons where part of Theodoric's fleet (leader of the Ostrogoths)
I didn't know that, thanks!
you're welcome, also congrats keep the gems coming

Agree 100%
Kamandaran + more lumberjacks would have saved Daut, idk why he was so stubborn to do that.
Maybe he was fearing a huskarl rush if he went with crossbows? Still better to lose trash crossbows to gold units, than expensive cavaliers to trash.

Definitely rested on laurels too.
Definitely should have spammed longswords instead of cannoneers, even some onagers could have helped
The dromons were the key factor in taking central island. Great game. Great map. Great cast
It was a lot of fun to see them in action. Thanks!

Sh*t I definitely didn't do anything on my end that would cause that! Are you able to chat in any other livestreams?

p.s- Also no, I couldnt chat in anyones livestream, in fact I couldnt see any text in any chat, including replays with chats. Weird.
@@dohc_au Awesome, glad it worked itself out!
also, how could viper repair his tc with 0 stone in the bank? is that feature not a thing anymore?
Time stamp?

The snake was in his bag in this one.
