In this game as all games, ottomans goes for a janissaries rush but it's counterd by x-bows. Further on the german player uses his uhlans to raid El_capitans vills. El_capitain goes for mass janissaries (don't know about plural ending so please correct me) vs Pip's horde of x-bows accompanied by some doppelsoldners and later on newly hierd landsknecht mercenaries, but they all fell save the x-bows, to the Captains exelent micro. Late game El_capitan destroyed Pip's town utterly but Pip manages to build a new one and eventualy enter fortress age and hire some might jaegers to drive off the enemy and he finaly manages to tip the game into his favour. Affter much excitement and great play, He wins a well deserved victory against ottomans.
El_capitan
Pros
- Forward build - Kept a hard pressure early game - Good micro! - Interrupted his eco pretty much. - Destroyed his first HC and killed alot of Peons - Solid BO (apart from no siege early game) - Got to colonial first
Cons
- Used mass janissaries vs mass x-bows - No siege early-game, abus guns or naders would no doubt ended the game in your favour as x-bows no nearly no damage to naders. Remember that the abus gun\ janis combo owns nearly everything. (KEY) - Got 2 native camps of the same kind when you inteded to use the "native american treaties" card, thus wasting 250 wood + that comanche horse archers are of no use vs x-bows. - No towers to protect your econ thus alowing him to totaly destroy your fragile econ. (KEY)
Pip
Pros.
- Fast colonial - X-bows to counter janissaries - very good uhlan raiding - Good peon micro - Nice macro
- Ran away and established a new base - Got a fort up, realy saved you. - Got to fortess age. - Good use of jaegers - Great comeback
Cons
- Fought alot with your workers thus losing many of them - Engaged x-bows in hand to hand combat against janissaries - Don't understand why you hired black riders to fight vs abus\janiss, as they are only good vs melee cav.
A very good and close german vs ottoman game, many comebacks and definatly a must see
