Hey thanks for the tag 🙂
You’re giving me traumatic flashbacks with the Byzantine review!
I had a hard time with them too, I played them when I was around 1050 Elo and didn’t really understand how to get value from the cheap counter units or how to use discounted Imperial effectively…
or play archers effectively!
I would love to revisit them one day to see if I can redeem myself.
For Celts: Don’t sleep on feudal/castle archers.
They obviously have strong M@A and following up with 2 ranges (very easy with woodcutting bonus) can lead to a NASTY Xbow spike for them.
Celts kinda fizzle out 1 v.s. 1 after Castle Age so I’d recommend keeping the pressure on.
Oppressive Castles, Siege/Pike, raiding, raiding, raiding.
Playing Hoang style is really fun too.
