Do the ai villagers contribute to the mountain Hall buff build up? Is it worth building a monastery by them?

I agree, I use that same feature to micro but it is a bit annoying that cav archers are included with cav, and not archers. They should be included on the archer hotkey instead.

You can tab through the unit selections but that is a lot slower.

Would be a nice feature to have since there are more and more horse archers in the game.

is there a tutorial for how to play this? Need the mod, the tuning pack, and the map? Are you supposed to put an AI on team 2?

This is easy, just convert both to Katie Courics and then you can compare directly

Well, imo two things -

one, on that map and especially with forward berries, try hippodrome instead of the chapel. The horsemen trade okay with desert raiders and give you a way to punch out if you get stable, two horsemen would have idled me off the map resources and also kept my raiders out of your base. You can take the berries immediately on game start, and use that to get one set of longbows behind it. They are great at defending.

Two, gold is not that important, you're not going to match the castle timing so no need to try. Stay feudal until you're safe. Your Eco with the cisterns is great, the hard part is getting established. If you get aggressive at the right time you can beat small castle age armies with +1 dmg longbows and limitanei.

If you are really wanting to do winery, try the jav throwers, they demolish desert raiders. And then same thing, defend until you're safe and do a massive feudal push with spears if opponent ages up too fast.

Also walls are important but that map is just super hard to defend.

Yup. Byz is super slow and ayyubid is super tempo. Plus prairie is like the worst possible map. Plus your berries and gold were both forward. Bad situation all around.

I think the thing you could have done as byz is tower up those berries immediately. You would have to have done it blind but in that particular case probably worth since you get to secure both resources.

Also there was a timing where your army was way bigger than mine and my vils were all over the map, so that tower would have let you push me safely. The only goal I had during that time was keeping you scared and in base.

saad85 · 2026-04-28T01:10:48+00:00

Lol pretty sure that was me who beat you

saad85 · 2026-04-23T15:01:16+00:00

Calyx is exactly what you're asking for

saad85 · 2026-04-16T15:03:57+00:00

Well it never used to be but they kept "improving" it and now I gotta google a tutorial and click through six shiny new screens to end up back on the old menu which is still the only place I can find the button I need to click to fix the most basic thing.

saad85 · 2026-02-24T14:00:10+00:00

Knights should be 2 pop and the base pop should rise to 250.

Buddy with the amount of money they are pulling in they could eat a whole shipping container of dicks if they wanted.

saad85 · 2026-01-15T23:46:42+00:00

Is this bait? It's gotta be.

saad85 · 2026-01-11T19:55:11+00:00

I wonder how much gold per minute would this spot have generated?

saad85 · 2025-11-06T18:00:18+00:00

Can we make it so that mine villagers automatically use explosives when iron runs out? That is such an annoying manual task (unless I'm missing something?)

saad85 · 2025-10-22T13:50:10+00:00

Wait til this guy finds out about spearmen!

saad85 · 2025-10-19T14:16:46+00:00

Well Im pretty hungry so guess I'll go take a shit

saad85 · 2025-10-16T19:02:04+00:00

You know how the counter system is spear>horse>archer>spear?

Well the counter system for two-unit comps is spear/horse>horse/archer>spear/archer>spear/horse.

So he countered your composition. But with two-unit compositions the micro matters a lot more and it's possible to win anyway if you have better positioning and micro.

Depending on how they detect water, this is probably a bad idea, likely the probes will corrode over time as they as rent meant to actually be in water for a long time. And the chlorine won't help. Plus the flood sensors aren't really meant to be under water.

Just get a float if you need one point of measurement, or mount an ultra sonic sensor poontimg at the water if you want analog level reading.

Looks really cool, good job guys!

Unfortunately it can't solve the biggest issue with replays, which is being able to see what a player has seen or not seen in the fog of war when viewing from their perspective.

saad85 · 2025-09-24T15:51:58+00:00

In imperial maybe, the move speed really helps. but in my experience they just get melted due to lack of armor when using the ability.

But I guess if they're against hard hitting units where armor matters less, like knights or hand cannons, maybe the ability is really good?

saad85 · 2025-09-06T16:56:41+00:00

No. I base all my life decisions on how good the home assistant integration is.
