War Story
Daut went for a 3 militia drush while RuFF_Die tried a flush with mainly archers (and some skirms). However, Daut had deer nearby and he lured them to his TC with his scout. This made him find RuFF_Die’s base very late but it also improved his castle time by a lot (almost instantly after having castle age buildings up). RuFF_Die kept making archers and tried to tower Daut’s wood. However, he saw it in time and spend his stone on defending his wood. RuFF_Die’s tower never made it. After this RuFF_Die found a hole in Daut’s fortifications and he secured his gold mine. Daut castled at this moment and had still enough resources to make a siege workshop + 1 onager. RuFF_Die’s archers(still feudal age) were scared away and Daut went into scorp mode. In groups of 3 scorpions he started to raid lumberjacks and farms. RuFF_Die castled by now and tried to make knights, to no avail as Daut already had many scorpions on the key-points of the map. Onagers are the most obvious counter against scorpions, so he went that instead. But 10 scorpions spread around 1 onager still totally break it down. So despite using the correct counter, RuFF_Die was beaten by the law of numbers. Daut kept making scorps and after 30 minutes RuFF_Die was forced to resign.
