    If Matador had gotten bodkin and bracer as soon as he got to imp, his castles would have had equal range to the mangonels and thus be unbeatable.

      the game was not lost because mangonels could outrange the castle, the game was lost because the trebs were not safe under the castle. +1 or +2 range to the castle would not be enough to save the trebs.
      siege rams could have finished off the castles if needed.

    Archers have more range than towers, why not have them out and focusing on the repairing villagers in a tower war?

    • @Maxidonis208
      @Maxidonis208 Před 4 měsíci +6

      2 Reasons. 1. It would be very awkward trying to hit the villagers repairing a tower without getting hit yourself when that tower has only 0.5 range less than you, especially in a chokepoint where you can't really get the the side of or behind the tower.
      And 2. The more important reason is that t90 was mistaken, towers have 8 range normally (as opposed to the 7 he thought they did), so half that is 4, the same as archers. You'd need crossbows to outrange a tower that has the same blacksmith upgrades as you. And even then, it would still be difficult to stay outside tower range and vils behind a tower with only 1 less range than you, though I'm not sure it'd be impossible.

    El Matador hat two winning plays after clicking imp: either rush bracer for 7 range castles (outranging mangudai and same range as mangonels) or simply deploying his first treb behind the castle (he could even delete the archery range for a very safe spot).
    Sadly he did neither :(

He could never contest the mangudai with mangonels and even huscarls wouldn't work well with monks and the castle being around. Maybe swarming with 20 huscarls would've been the play - we never know.

      he already had 70% or what on the map.
      he was already winning. the comeback was only made possible because of all the ressources wasted into imperial age.
      the initial investment gave the opponent time to get the army together, it would have stayed evenish if the treb push would have worked (he atleast would have won that side of the map)
      but because that didnt work aswell and he was starting to lose on the other side it wasnt even close in the end.
      sure it would have been hard to close out but it was definitly a better play to keep pressuring and atleast holding more of the map where you can have more and safer eco.

      @@Link1506 1000 food and 800 gold is easily enough for 20 huskarls - and 20 huskarls would win quite easily on such a small map, even considering Castle and Mangonels. Monk would do nothing, making 20 into 19, and Mangudai would deal 1 damage per hit (get infantry armor and you're good). Just dodge Mangonels. At the point where Matador clicked to Imp, Ozone had 2 mangonels, at the finish of Imp, 4. But Matador had enough resources to make additional Mangonel, resulting in Mangonels being 3-3 (Ozone wouldn't get the last Mangonel in time, cuz Huskarls produce fast), and then just spam Huskarls. So yeah, Huskarls from two Castles were the play here.

      It's still a tiny map. The problem with towers is, they had such a large range and nothing in Feudal could counter them, except other towers... which made the games become "who can build and repair their towers fastest wins"... which is _boring_ to watch.
      With all ranged units and buildings have a reduced range, it makes other tactics viable once more... instead of ranged units being the best... as they can out range the buildings. As seen by the magonels pushing El Matador off wood.

    I wonder if Onager is a sleeper upgrade for this game mode actually. Imp into onager instead of trebs lets you unironically deny eco for your opponent by cutting trees, gives you a huge advantage in mango duels, and increases building damage to boot.

It's practically the cost of Imp all over again, which could lose you the game just in that moment. but it does start to look a lot more affordable when you compare it to the price of making, say, two trebs (-400w/400g) and a half dozen huskarls (-336f/168g) instead in order to (fail to) stop the mangudai/mangonel push.

  • @mrv6554

    Such a great game! I think that it could be fun to try having building range tied to what age you are in. E.g. 50% range in Dark & Feudal, 70% in Castle, and 90% in Imp. That way making a HUGE investment into Imperial gives you better protection and enables you to somewhat protect your trebs.

    I think this game shows how perfectly balanced is the game and how a small change like the tower and castle ranges has snowball effects. With this mod, the onager turns out to be the most op unit in the game, being able to shoot down towers and castles. Probably the modders didn't expect this to happen, but on the other hand,this forces you to protect your buildings with army, and from my point of view, this is more entertaining than the classic tower wars in small maps, where repairing is the most important task 😂

    Gotta be honest, I am dissappointed by Matador. Feels like he didn't spend much time thinking about the range changes at all. The point of trebuchets is to be able to outrange castles and cause damage to them without taking damage in return. Due to the range change, a normal mangonal already does that. Whilst beeing cheaper (No need for imp!), moveable and much more lethal against units.
    Huskarls were also a waste. On these small maps with all these chokepoints, anything with range will be great. Melee units are useless here.
    I also think that stonewalls are heavily underutilized so far. Map control is massive, but it also prevents units from walking into your eco - especially archers

      Huskarls would have been good in larger numbers. I think he could have won by massing them instead of going imp

    Onagers would have been the play.
    They counter mangonels and castle age mangudai and most importantly they can cut the enemys trees.
    El matatdor coud have starved ozone out.

    Matador wasted so many resources on towers and castles that could pretty much never do anything. Hard to adjust your mind to the settings in the heat of the momemt I guess.
