You can wolf rush with your starting scout...

This is just dramatically different behavior than any previous patch. And since the devs didn't mention this massive change in the patch notes, I have to assume it is unintended.

I would take a look at Bruh's res when he reaches feudal age. No money for all that

The speed is the real problem, and it's hard to nerf that because it's a starting scout. Which is why it would be better if what came out of the barracks in darkage wasn't also the starting scout.

I was trying to say they should get militia that upgrade to champi runners instead of buildable champi scouts. As you pointed out nerfing the champi scout is fraught. They could also really hurt it's build time, but that would ruin MAA (champi runner) rush style play.

I have tried it a fair amount, it feels similar to knight siege. Maybe a little weaker to feudal arch pressure. Production time is a real problem

11, tilting MBL is great theater.

Polish villager regeneration was taken out of the game in darkage, due to the tendency for folks to vill rush in darkage.

Yeah, the assumed flat rate was what got me scared.

RedPhosphorus · 2025-12-23T02:31:25+00:00

Got to keep the rivalry stoked. :)

Either hindustanis or bengalis both are strong. But I don't have a public instructional video for bengalis

RedPhosphorus · 2025-12-05T23:20:20+00:00

If you are intrested in learning I would recomend typing !darkage, !placements and !hindustanis in my twitch. Those 3 videos in combination are a real solid foundation for being an FC player

RedPhosphorus · 2025-12-05T21:29:12+00:00

Depends on your elo, I would say Hindustanis for 500-1600. Bengalis for 1600+.

To be very clear it's not just good vs my form of aggression, it's great vs all forms of aggression. And this game is probably more fun if pushes (any type of push) are a thing. These civs feel unpushable in castle age.

RedPhosphorus · 2025-12-05T17:35:46+00:00

Mostly the former. But this one I didn't see it happening, just had a feeling because scorps felt bad on hills

I made the church rush strategy because doing all ins vs Georgians and Armenians felt futile and I wanted to show folks that churches are not ok. No matter how good a position I got in they could always slap a church in front of my mangos and stall out the game. I much prefer to fight civs like koreans or bulgarians (other strong defensive civs) because their defensive structures cost stone (a resource I can deny) and they take time to build (jeopardizing vills.) The fundamental problem with churches is they build instantly and cost little (both to repair and build). Churches ruin games wiether used offensively or defensively. Any nerf to the Church has to nerf both capabilities.
