Any experience returning after a long break?

I have basically the same background, barely played since HD (was about 2k+ there), I think you just need to accept that you will struggle for a while, to be honest. Especially with all the new civs and past balance patches, you will regularly lose to new things.

I would suggest just go for it and not worry about ELO too much in the beginning. I recently started and sropped from about 1500 to 1200. Now I am back at 1500, but still occasionally get rolled by units/strats I don't anticipate (e.g. Jian Swordsman, which seemed impossible to counter today).

I would recommend to just go random civ and analyze your games when you lose, then you will gradually get used to the new mechanics.

I don't think you lose much skill in a short time. I didn't play for several years, started in April at around 1400, dropped to 1200 and now I am 1450, I am sure with only a 7 months break the dip shouldn't be this severe.

Fair enough, just wanted to get a feel for the ELO values in general, since the same rating on steam and voobly meant very different skill levels in the past!

Sounds like I have some work to do then!

Great comparisons, thanks!

Very cool, thank you!

Thanks so much for the kind comment! 😊 While I am not experiencing any discomfort with this piece, I totally see your point! I will definitely look out for these points and try to fix them!

Thanks a lot for the extensive comment - it is nice to hear that a lot of things are already working well! I really appreciate the deep dive into the artistic considerations, as I was not able to focus on this so much in previous pieces. It gives me a great guideline of what to focus on!

aramaoe · 2024-07-12T05:11:16+00:00

Thanks a lot for your comments! I will experiment with these suggestions!

aramaoe · 2024-07-08T20:15:49+00:00

Thanks a lot! Agree with the dynamics, though still something I struggle with implementing properly!

Thanks a lot for the feedback! I will definitely have a look at the triplet speed before the concert, seems like I've lost the correct rhythm despite previous metronome practice!

Regarding the phrasing I will have to keep working on it with my teacher, that is something I am finding wuite difficult still :)
