War Story

Aztecs are simply the number one civ in 1v1 arena. But my personal second would be the Vikings (yes, even in favour of the Turks). Isyan thought the same way and proved how Vikings can make a party on Arena: they have a superior economy. The game started out with a few “lame” moves. Killing 2 of Terror’s sheep and trying to steal a boar. He couldn’t get the boar, but he got Terror at -4 sheep. So in the end, that’s quite a strike. Isyan reached the Feudal age in about 11 minutes, given he was Vikings and had extra sheep, it could be doable to go for FC after that, but he decided to flush. Build a tower right out of sight, then one in the corner of your enemy’s arena, and just hop in. However before he had any units made inside Terror’s arena, Terror reached the castle age. He then went onto his traditional Aztec game: massing monks and monks and a few more monks. Combined with some siege ofcourse. Despite losing his flush, Isyan tried to keep on raiding and managed to stay in Terror’s town for quite a long time before eventually giving in. When his flush was lost, he had such a big eco however that he could immediatelly go to the castle age, make a few castles and make an army to destroy Terrors -now aggressive- monks. However, this is where Terror went wrong. You can’t simply beat a Viking economy that has been untouched for 30 minutes with a handful of monks! Isyan beat the traditional Aztec game with some luck at the start, but especially with some out of the box thinking.
