45 Noob Game

[BMC_Thunderbird]

Just played a game and since I never posted one in eonnssss...

I never stuck to normal build because peeps seem to take their time so I did as well. Gold was bad but I was out of routine of my flow. Old friend Legia was team mate.

Way off you guys standards btw.

Hi Mr Bird

I watched just first ~50 mins.
I cant explain all you shold do here but some small stuff that i think you shold start whit.
I can just say i dont like 45 cut very much so i dont have much to say about it.

1. Go up whit 28 wills and when you can make 50 wills in 20 min try 27 and on.
2. Look for a good spot for the first lumber, as closer it is as better. Always make sure wills can work on both sides.
3. Dont put 100 wills on gold in 45 cut games. Just some small amount off wills so you got the gold you need to start make carts. Less on gold more on wood
4. Make att least 45 farms. 35 farms will kill you fast
5. During fight, well there is alot to think about. Kill and defend onas is major thing you shold do. Palla kill onas very fast.
6. I guess in that game you cold not use towers, so make canons and trebs



// Those games are strange. No turk no koreans no BBT. Why no Turks if no BBT? thay scared off Janis or Canons?
and pers is ok?? Strongest civ in game. A nice thing you cold try in those games if you play whit friends. Let one guy go japs and one Pers, and then you need a cutter off course. The japs can go trebs and sling the pers all game. Pers make 150-200 eles gg.

Hi Mr King

Thank you for taking time out to watch and comment.

I will try your advise in next games. It is easy to get distracted in 45 cut games. Been a long time since i play free cut and the current ones I see all have high ratings...

Played with Legia again last night. Think it was better this time. Mind you our cutter was very good and also fellow Irishman on our side mayl07.

I used to take the game seriously and hate loosing  but then I used to take a lot of things seriously. Now finally almost everything in the real world has been fixed and it feels so good to be happy again

Good to hear ur doing ok Mr Bird  .

[BMC_Balatr0]

i watched it and noticed a few things:

- very decent dark and feudal 
- during boom too much idle wood, try to make farms faster so u have more food to boom with
- lot of idle TC during boom, do u use hotkeys ? Just press hchchchchchchc alot during boom and no more idle tc
- bad gather points for TCs, why dont u set them on wood ? U had many idle vills standing next to TCs
- try press idle vill button . now and then during boom. At some point during boom u had 25 idle vills ! That really should not happen lol
- after u imp keep booming, u stopped boom at around 95 vills, why not invest in some more eco in 45 mins cut ?
- use ur 200 pop ! U only reached 200 pop at 45 mins (just in time for cut lol). U could have made more vills, more farms would have been usefull since u ran out of food in late game, also u had no gold at some point (35 mins). So either boom more goldvills or earlier trade. Even in free cut michi u need more than 95 vills, but especially in 45 mins michi where u only need army at 45 mins u can afford to make much more vills !
- good use of paladins after cut! U killed insiders, defended ally siege and raped enemy siege ... gj. Also good to sling extra food to pers (Y).
- also bad gather points for stables. u had too much idle pals.
- also try to make some rams/cannons/trebs. At some points the cuts were open but none of u made building destroy units .
- don't fight eles with pals. In late game u ran out of food and popped dropped to 150. This while u had 40 farms. The reason ur food was low was that u lost so many pals fighting vs eles. Try pikes/conqs/monks or sling to sara/pers when enemy pers is strong. In towers allowed games of course u should mass towers vs eles.

gl hf !

Thanks Balatr0!

Because it is 45 cut I tend to take it a lot easier and am not bothered about idle villagers nor wood. I would indeed be playing different if it was free cut and not as I see it free time (lol). I am very laxed in the building up to 45 because I do not feel rushed. I kept on slinging Pers all my food and yes I was late in Gold and trade.
I only use hot keys during games.

Gather points were bad but I keep on getting in way and I changed them a few times. Also I am not that good of a multi tasker and tend to get lost with to many army types bit I will try your suggestions.

I will try to take on board what you say. Thanks for taking time out to look at games. It is good positive feedback.

Ur right it's hard different kinds army ... it not necessary to make all 3 rams, cannons and trebs.

maybe you could just start with rams .... trebs and cannons take a alot of attention so will be harder to use them in a good way ... rams are more easy ... just send them in when there are no SO around. Might seem weird to do rams with spain but i've had some great successes with it  .
