This was a very satisfying breakdown, cheers for sharing!
I’m the opposite. 1150ish whose comfort zone is archers. Mobility is my weakness, that and I’m a lazy waller, so the counter raids destroy me. Also bad at transitioning to booming. Ok, so I guess I’m just bad, but luckily this game is amazing and that’s okay.
Byz definitely feel like a defensive, adaptable civ. Not my playstyle!
Hey thanks for the tag š
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.
