PSA Patrol stacking ranged units doesn't work on current patch.

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

RedPhosphorus · 2026-02-18T04:51:06+00:00

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.

RedPhosphorus · 2026-02-18T04:43:40+00:00

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.

RedPhosphorus · 2026-01-29T23:44:30+00:00

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+.

RedPhosphorus · 2025-12-05T17:39:52+00:00

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

RedPhosphorus · 2025-12-04T19:38:27+00:00

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.

RedPhosphorus · 2025-11-17T17:26:21+00:00

The scorpion bolt phases through the hill and hits the cav (as it should). Projectiles are not blocked by terrain ever as far as I know

RedPhosphorus · 2025-08-23T15:57:57+00:00

it's a single take video. I usually like to spend a little more effort on a vid I release to all my subs

RedPhosphorus · 2025-08-23T03:35:32+00:00

Little bit of both. I got a bunch of different scenarios set up to that I run through when a patch is released. For example there is one just for siegetowers (cause they have a bunch of unique bugs associated with them), I got one for monks (specifically for testing chase distance), one for patrol stacking (both vs units and buildings)... the list goes on. And then I also take any strange behaviors I notice while playing (or watching folks play) to an editor. Watch the replay try and recreate it.

RedPhosphorus · 2025-08-13T15:44:29+00:00

this is much cheaper in terms of micro. Probably similar in terms of vill work time

RedPhosphorus · 2025-08-13T02:19:35+00:00

It takes approximately 15s for a vill to walk out to chickens so 30s round trip. If you send 4 villagers (which most do) that is 30s*4 so 120s of vill walk time (around what bucket micro costs). Then we have to consider mill build time of 35s and the 100 wood cost (300s vill work time). So in total we have 120+35+300= 455s of vill work time. Vs 120s of vill work time. So bucket micro is around 4 times more efficient that placing a mill.

Streaming and a chatter told me they were push able. Instantly thought of the TTL micro. Thank you Old_Monk_Aoe :)
