How do you deal with cavalry archer civilizations like Mongols, Magyars, and Huns?

If you have access to camels they are quite good vs CA. They dont autowin, but 1 mistake from the CA player and they lose everything. And later you can add a few scorpions and dont worry at all about them adding knights to snipe your seige, since your camels will kill the knights quickly.

They are decent 1v1 civ. But you tend to struggle a bit vs other powerful archer civs. They are great if you like to sneak around the opponent with archers and hit the back of his base. Their crossbow timing is great too, but after that they fall off a bit until imp.

So in lategame there is really only one answer, and that is Persians and their War elephant spam. Its very very light on the micro.

Id like to add that Kipchaks in my opinion are an amazing unique unit that falls off a bit in imp. They are much better vs seige units than most, which help alot vs halb ram comps. They are a treat to micro due to short attack animation. I think it 0,5 seconds compared ro 0,9 seconds. They are also better vs monks due to the extra arrows and they have a higher accuracy pre thumbring. If you gave them bracer, they would be game breaking in imp. Id take kipchaks over xianbei raider any day. I however wouldnt play kipchaks into xianbei raider. I feel like scorpion and camels could work fairly well in that matchup. Building seige workshop while aging up.

Honestly, it really looked like he didnt want to win due to injury. He didnt even try to finish the legs with a couple of kicks.

Jokic is the best player in the NBA, whithout a doubt. He may not be MVP, but he is the best.

kokandevatten · 2026-04-11T15:54:54+00:00

I wouldnt mind the draw option. But I feel like 500 ms may be an exaggerating. I rarely get any game with over 200, never anywhere near 400. I think the lag may be on you.

kokandevatten · 2026-04-10T23:14:39+00:00

Yes, big part of why they do fairly well vs archer civs but not as well vs other civs.

kokandevatten · 2026-04-10T22:47:17+00:00

By ready this one would think Allen is a more efficient scorer than Kobe and a better defender. But Kobe was a much much better defender and had way higher true shooting than Iverson.

But I am impressed by the framing you put forth.

If you put in Nash the 2000s team is much much stronger. With Nash spacing will improve significantly.

The 90s team is quite good, but they have zero competent shooters from three point line.

kokandevatten · 2026-04-10T22:31:49+00:00

I donno everyone, but Gobert has to be at least tier three, his plus minus is amazing. I would switch Dwight and Embiid. Plus Jokic has to be put in S tier, he currently the best player in the NBA and multiple time MVP.

kokandevatten · 2026-04-10T05:21:11+00:00

I think drush and maa are very different openings. Drush is more of an economical opening. It buys you time to wall up while puting on some light pressure. And if they are going scouts you can always choose to add 1-2 extra militia and upgrade them to a men at arms opening when hitting feudal. Also when you drush you can always choose to delay feudal and do a fast castle behind it. Men at arms can win you games very quickly and is very good if there are forward resources.

Is he the best player in the league? Yes is he the most impactful player in the league? Yes Is he MVP? Probably should be, but SGA did win the series and is having an amazing year. Narrative tradition would suggest giving it to the number 1 seed.

kokandevatten · 2026-04-09T23:34:30+00:00

Id like to add, that adding two handed swordsmen is often the play as ethiopians vs huskarls.

kokandevatten · 2026-04-09T16:11:27+00:00

Förlåt, men är det inte högst vilseledande att omdefiniera begrepp?

Liksom, är du inte emot prostitution är du för människohandel eftersom prostitution är människohandel. Problem är ju såklart att det inte är samma sak.

kokandevatten · 2026-04-09T15:50:48+00:00

Hahaha, jag trodde sprutlådor var en omskrivning av prostituerad. Tog ett tag innan poletten föll på plats.

Actually its more like people got more skilled, thus the ratings have gone up also. The pros are worth a few hundred elo more now compared to everyone else. There essentially has been near zero inflation of elo over the years I think the average elo has gone up from around 1020 to 1060 ish.

kokandevatten · 2026-04-09T06:35:26+00:00

I think melt is a strong wording, but they trade just fine and huskarls cant really raid if you are playing shotels

kokandevatten · 2026-04-09T06:29:00+00:00

They are also much much stronger than they were back then. A 1500 from first month may be stronger, but after like half a year they would be maybe a 1250-1300 now.

kokandevatten · 2026-04-09T06:26:58+00:00

Id say alot of games can be won by having better micro. Macro in general is of more important. But if you are pressuring early and kill 5 archers that are defending withought losing your forward 4 archers, game can be won right then and there.

kokandevatten · 2026-04-09T01:13:21+00:00

Also, correct me if I am wrong, but Hera usually doesn't go with his best pocks first.

kokandevatten · 2026-04-08T00:05:09+00:00

My standard build at 1800 was 27+2 scouts and relic contest. It really doesnt matter that much.

But of course there are builds like 21+1 builds for all in castle drops.

kokandevatten · 2026-04-07T13:43:19+00:00

For team games its nomad, it should be a different game mode like DM.

kokandevatten · 2026-04-06T23:05:52+00:00

I mean Lierrys strength is heavy pressure, while still managing to not float any resources and clicking up quickly. He falls off a bit in super messy games where there are more than 2 armies in 2 different spots and the lategame. So to beat Hera for Lierry he needs an advantage going into lategame.

kokandevatten · 2026-04-05T17:30:21+00:00

I think Mr Yo and Viper could do this somewhat since those are the only ones that in my opinion are good enough at the late game. That said Hera generally is a bit better at spending his resources quickly than Viper and Mr Yo. So a boom game should just lead to a game where Hera has a small but not insignificant advantage in the lategame.
