I have completed all the missions in “Art of War” with a gold ranking, and I’m consistently beating the Extreme AI.
I have mastered both early rushes and late game booms on Arena, which is a particularly difficult challenge.
What other strategies should I learn before attempting to climb the ladder?
specialize a civ main and otp it forever is most returns, rest are meta scared
Once you’re comfortable with your hot keys and can get 1 build order down, you’re probably good to go.
Just play ranked.
Im at 600 ELO.
I suck, I can’t beat extreme AI and still play ranked.
The beauty of ranked is that the game matches you against players who suck equally as you do.
The only thing to bear in mind is that first matches won’t be fair as your rank needs to be evaluated.
You’re more than ready.
I can barely beat hard AI and am silver on art of war
Now.
The only thing that could hold you back is your mentality.
You’re gonna get smashed.
And bested.
And overwhelmed.
Dragged through the arena by your nose ring.
But at some point, there will come an opponent weaker than you and you’ll be the one doing the dragging around.
And it will feel good.
That’s where your ranked journey will really start!
So just hop right in, ranked is a fun, family friendly experience for everyone.
U might actually win your first few games on ranked before u start losing
Let er rip
nothing can prepare you for online games.
you just gotta keep playing
I started playing ranked when I got bored of playing Vs the AI
Play a few “quick mate games” then enter ranked and be prepared to loose 10+ games in a row
Hmm, even the 500 ELO players can beat 6 extreme AI at once.
Get good noob (/s)
​
You are overprepared, just do it!
Nice, you’re in great shape.
I still haven’t beat a hardest AI and I’m loving it.
One silver for me on water because I am impatient
Ranked is the best way out of any game mode to find fun and competitive matches.
Just keep in mind it takes about 10+ games for the system to find your skill level.
Play right now!
You’re more than ready to play ranked
