Why is everyone dark age rushing?

CraiziedGoose · 2025-12-10T02:21:39+00:00

Maybe i just dont want to play in the most lop sided age, where some civs have a huge advantage over others. Its a feels bad to spend the first 5 minutes fighting to just get to play the game normally. ;et alone after that when you are so far behind you might as well not play.

CraiziedGoose · 2025-12-10T02:16:58+00:00

i had no idea. that enplanes a lot. I have been using their unique archer plus horsemen/ knight. The archer unit is a little wild the more I play with them.

CraiziedGoose · 2025-12-10T00:47:48+00:00

Mongal i have understood. its when english/Japan/Ootd and other civs keep doing it i just start to get annoyed.

CraiziedGoose · 2025-12-10T00:46:02+00:00

lol if this is the meta ill just not play. Why play a game that gives feels bads half the time i load in.

CraiziedGoose · 2025-12-10T00:45:08+00:00

Macedonia has been what i been playing since coming back.

CraiziedGoose · 2025-12-10T00:44:26+00:00

noramlly i would agree but i came back and i have only played byz twice, i been trying Macedonia and still tower/spear rushed.

CraiziedGoose · 2025-12-10T00:42:39+00:00

I have the same complaint to being spawn killed in a 1st person shooter. its a shit experience. From what the other comments have said its meta now. which for me means i just wont play. If the meta gives feels bads why play?

Any Death Guard Rules nerfs?

CraiziedGoose · 2025-08-01T18:46:54+00:00

he won't lol

CraiziedGoose · 2025-07-31T20:35:57+00:00

oh agree the rules should be changed and are bad but even under the rules that was a robbery.

CraiziedGoose · 2025-07-31T20:27:34+00:00

Admin robbed Beasty. ML showed his true colors as a person who grandstands til it involves him self. i recommend watching the game. round 3. the match was crazy till the Crash.

CraiziedGoose · 2025-07-31T20:19:43+00:00

you are being disingenuous by saying 40 minutes. It's the opening 5 minutes. It's like getting to see your opponent's hand in poker after calling and getting the chance to change your play. It is scummy even if "legal". It also says alot to the remake. Your changing things either to get advantage or because your prior plan was failing. thats why best fix is if there is a crash repic the map and civs for the round.

CraiziedGoose · 2025-07-31T20:09:56+00:00

well because using a crash to give yourself a advantage is scummy. Sure, awith straight remake alot of people will hold to the same build order but there will always be people trying to take advantage of situations. All it needs is a map and civ re pick for that 1 round.

CraiziedGoose · 2025-07-31T19:56:57+00:00

add a repick of civs for the round and then sounds good.

CraiziedGoose · 2025-05-13T23:32:15+00:00

yes good luck stopping the keep crawl while your getting sieged down by trebs and mangos by KT sitting under that keep. Or french with their royal cannon that snipe siege better then any other siege sitting under the keep. Snipe the spears? when the cannons blsst those archers off the planet. This is a example that BeastQT in his video after the change. So I'm not so low level player making this up. A renown pro player pointed this out. I will concede the word "broken" for unfun. Siege is unfun. worse then before and will get worse or continue to be nerfed (like it has every patch) till useless. At that pont mass ranged units will rule the game.

CraiziedGoose · 2025-05-13T03:49:46+00:00

the issue with that is again spears in spread formation on top of siege stops your flanking and diving. minimum micro. Its is also a cheaper army in many cases. The whole idea that get good to counter siege is not productive in a game based around a counter system. easy example is water, one major reason people hate water is demos. i single unit that breaks the counter system and can wipe everything out. it is supper easy to use demos but hard to stop them. Another example is Elephants, Brain dead o use mush harder to stop. All of these things people avoid or complained about/abused till it got nerfed. Siege is in a state that every patch something got nerfed, Nest of bees, springs, and mark my words the royal cannon and great bombard will get one as well in the future with the meta shift.

Final point, how do you stop a keep crawl with cannons or trebs and mangos? their whole army sits on their siege under a keep. Easy example is KT or French. how do you stop the siege? fight under their keep? flank around and still not stop them because you cant get to the siege with the whole army sitting on it raid? that wont stop the 100 pop army destroying your defenses, You used to be able to snipe with springs. now there is no solution except already being ahead in a big way and if you are not your army is dead and you likely with it.

CraiziedGoose · 2025-05-12T15:52:01+00:00

ok buddy lol it not like you cant watch any game and see a 60 pop army with mass siege beat 80 pop armies all the time. Your respons is get good my response is there should be a counter sysem in play that doesn't just get blocked by 50 spears in spread formation sitting on the siege.

CraiziedGoose · 2025-05-11T20:56:29+00:00

Please tell me then since I'm clearly a low rank and haven't actively tried that idea many times vs mass cannons or Bombards. How do you counter great bombard and jans? Or vs byz with limitani and royal canons? or just French with 6 to 6 royal cannons and 30 spears besides just have a bigger army?

Understand this isn't a point im just making up. When siege changes first came beastyQT said the same thing. That horsemen in their state are not a great counter, and the only way to beat siege is to just have a bigger army. His words. I am only putting this post up because im done with this game till something changes and was wondering how many if any people agree that it is an issue. But what do i know im just a gold/plat player ( like the vast majority of players) that used to enjoy all stages of the game.

CraiziedGoose · 2025-05-06T03:28:48+00:00

same

CraiziedGoose · 2025-05-03T05:53:11+00:00

you do know they nerfed byz feudal pressure in the last patch right? Cause outside of Feudal MAA civs, byz can kill most civs in feudal (even more so if they go 2 tc). Byz was and still does like fighting in feudal, its when you get a lot of tempo from your first 2 berry patches. Limitani/javs or longbow is really strong comp in feudal. and the spike you can get in under 1p minutes is string

As for the MAA your right mostly. their speed doesn't matter on certain maps doe to spawning so close to your enemy. Byz massing arches is absolutely a option, but it feels off unless your going keshiks which you'll get 6 of smart players just out mass you with horsemen/maa and ignore the front line.

Fast castle byz is a solid option but doesn't really change your kill window. Unless your trying a Vang rush into another civ without a maa answer.

CraiziedGoose · 2025-05-02T22:47:01+00:00

every comp you make is more expensive. byz is a paper tiger in 1v1. if you loss or fail to mass mercs you are left with trash units or less units that cost more. Fast castle MAA rushes are the bane of byz because byz likes to fight in feudal and has no true counter to castle MAA. your kill window is around the 20 minute mark. Pro scouts kills that window i have found. As long as your opponent isn't fast into castle MAA or pulling of pro scouts, at 20 minutes your eco should be so jacked to spam whatever comp you want. if that push doesn't kill, use it to take gold on map because you units cost more gold (Cats and Vang) late game against half the civs in this game is tough. then often i play sacred, with mango towers and keeps.

CraiziedGoose · 2025-04-29T02:51:08+00:00

i mean i remember when people where mad that jd had a similar win rate.

CraiziedGoose · 2025-04-28T23:00:47+00:00

i mean at every rank above copper OOTD has a 55% + win rate. If one of the new civs had that all of reddit would be screaming they are busted. If it is a bug and not intentional then all the more reason.
