Lady_Grace 1988
This is the kind of game I love to see. Much congrats, Lady_Grace. Using a fun civ like Russia who might not be as strong as the Germans, but you totally utilized the Russian advantages in vill block training and in infantry block training to keep a mass of fully upgraded units out there at all times to beat a merc/cannon lamer. I know as an RR I should probably try to be unbiased against things like that, but I guess I just can't help it. I've seen far too many times games where a German doesn't build vills and has a far weaker eco and just makes mercs and cannons and wins. Actually, I shouldn't knock V_Vellington too much because he actually did branch out to some WW's and skirms and stuff and fish boomed and had 3 TC's and got some vills out, but only after all his mercs died to superior micro and outspamming of weaker, cheaper Russian units. Not really much you did wrong in this game that I could see, this was one of the better played games I saw, good use of culvs when he cannon spammed, got to industrial and got heavy cannons to kill your opponent's fort, and basically spamming guard strelets and guard muskets 'till the cows come home. Very well played, I have nothing else to say.

So I guess I've already said what strat you took in this game...age up with like 16 vills, FF and put everyone on gold for all the mercs you could get, hacks->lands->jaegers->br's. Lady_Grace horribly outmicroed you, especially at this time of the game, with the combination of melee muskets and some ranged muskets doing focus fire on those high-health mercs. Those mercs cost you so much that from that point, even when you had a few left and were going around destroying his blockhouses basically as he tried to build them, he was still ahead of you. It wasn't really until you made industrial that you started to get more vills, eventually getting up to about 60, even though your opponent had 98. That was really what did it for you, too much gold and vill secs spent on the cannons and mercs and not enough balance of eco to keep a spam going late in the game. I think next time just try to keep some vill production going while getting your mercs out (if that's the strat your going for) and maybe building some other military units to just mix it up a bit. Also, you made it to industrial far before your opponent, but you hardly utilized it! You didn't upgrade skirms or uhlans and you didn't even get a factory or any heavy cannons. You only got a couple mortars, and lost them very poorly to bad artillery micro, while your opponent was getting heavy cannons.
wow, i feel sori for Lady_Grace, i have played witha nd against V_Vellington, and let me tell you, you need to micro your troops about 6 seconds in advance. im sori for flaming but it is the truth, gg u played well grace, gj
when he is used to pings of 1200 and the opponents arent it means the opponents have a MUCH harder time doing what he does and so his micro looks better because theirs looks worse than it normally is
so people see him microing as well as a great player but really he isnt as good just the great player is totally fucked over by lag
Mercs r so lame and this one proves it. No skill on vellingtons part. Lady could have taken him down real early with better scouting on the coin piles. Yes laggers r used to their lag and a non lagger has difficulty adapting.
WHY? You should be asking... Why those weak units are OP? I'll tell you:
1-They are cheap 2-They have cool axes 3-You make them in groups of 3 4-They have cool axes 5-They can beat aNY infantry!!! 6-They have cool axes
Let's see a battle between skirmishers and strelets... There are bout 2.42 strelets for each skirmish, cause a skirmish costs 2.42 strelets...
FIRST BATTLE: 121 STRELETS VS 50 SKIRMISHERS:

[PNG, (635.24 KB)]
See? The Strelets always win in the End... those guys are OP!!!
Well played Lady. I loved the part where he runs his uhlans and hacks into a large group of muskets. I didn't know you could play 25 minutes of a game with only 22 villagers tho.
WHY? You should be asking... Why those weak units are OP? I'll tell you:
1-They are cheap 3-You make them in groups of 3 5-They can beat aNY infantry!!!
first off they r suppose to be cheap and two they come in groups of 10 not 3. (busted ) also they r LIGHT INFANTRY they r suppose to beat any type of infantry (duh!!) AND THREE STRELETS ARENT OP!!!!!!!!!!!!!
