Nice game, Your scout is very very important in the early game you want to know if opponent is going to all in you or going for another TC or FC so if your scout die's make another one asap. - If you see him going for another TC, you just go for another TC always try to have at least one more TC than opponents. - try to keep one space around the TC's for farms. - In the new season you don't have to make springls anymore you can make more mangonels, there's no anti-siege. - Camel riders are light unit's so most of the time they are better than knights because if they have crossbow it won't deal extra dmg to them, and they will make crossbow to deal with your MAA. Hope this helps
After the match I thought about adding another TC as I had eco wing, but completely forgot in the game. I should have made a new scout but I always hate doing it from TC because it's basically losing a vill, but on multiple TC it's not so bad. In this game I went the Byzantine approach and made every single unit available, next time I would limit my comp to make them easier to manage. There is a lot to remember with a new civ, but I'm having a lot of fun with it already. I'm sure I'll speed up with it relatively quickly. Thanks for the tips, much appreciated.
@@gogordian yeah I watched that the other day, but need to give it another go. Still getting to grips with Abba, but having fun. Our match was a lot of fun 😉
Mongols are pretty effective at delaying the Abbasid 2TC, your least favourite matchup could be still against them. Btw there is a key binding for "select all cavalry" which you can use to quickly select all cav units and assign them faster to a hot key.
Don't worry, my least favourite match up will always be Mongols 😂 I need to set up those hotkeys for binding, that would make my life a lot easier. I don't like using them to micro though because if I ever remember raiding it will cause problems. Thanks for the tip 👍🏻
@Amerath90 It's actually not that bad of a match up, always scout if you see the Mongols are going to rush you with horsemen or spearmen, you need to get enough gold for age up by moving villager to gold than move them get wood to build a barrack and make spears to deal with there horsemen or spearmen, try to also focus on killing the villager rather than the unit's because if you kill the villager and go back to your base he will need to get another villager to build the tower and that will take some time, you will be able to have more units You can keep like 8 on food, 2 on gold, 2 on stone, rest on wood while all this happening, they will be able to delay your TC but they also delayed there age up so it's not a lose unless you lose access to the resource's
@@just-dude Yeah as Abba it seems a lot easier to deal with than Byz especially with field siege to drop a ram if needed. I just have bad memories from last season against Mongols lol 😂

Good luck with Abba! Greetz Vitro
@@gogordian Hey dude! Thanks. Our game will actually be going live later today so you can enjoy it from my perspective 😂

@@Amerath90 Nice! Curious to see! :) I’m sure you will take me down next time we meet on the ladder 💪
