War Story

Ruso started out furiously, with some nearby deer he didn’t make farms in dark age and hit feudal before the 10 minute mark. So with some early scouts ready to rush he had a small advantage early. Ruso kept making scouts throughout the feudal age and Frontliner started to blend in skirms, archers and spears. Although Ruso could beat the combination with his scouts, it gave him an economical blow which didn’t give him a chance to advance to the castle age. So after 27 minutes, the game turned into castle age vs feudal age. Ruso didn’t bother to age up too and he kept playing his raiding game. After half an hour of playing, Ruso had 6 stables making scouts, partially defending from raiding pikes and knights and partially attacking Frontliner’s farms. Which resulted in a nearly constantly garrissoned TC for Frontliner. As the game went on, Ruso blended in some towers to defend himself from pillaging knights and also sent some villagers forward to make some aggressive towers. Mainly because Frontliner started to expand and make more TC. And the power of Ruso’s raiding so far was that Frontliner couldn’t garrisson everything all the time.

Here comes the turning point in the game though, although scouts can hit and run and stay away from pikes, at one point, it just becomes too much. Frontliner had pikes all over the place and raiding became harder. Ruso lost all his forward towers too so he had to come up with something new. And that was men-at-arms. Those evil bastards weigh down on early feudal economies, but after 45 minutes of a nearly untouched economy, this argument isn’t valid anymore. Frontliner now tried to launch a counter offensive, but the men-at-arms were created right on time for Ruso. He pushed again with towers from 2 sides and with his infantry and cavalry he forced Frontliner on his knees.

Reynald’s Raiders now have to make place for Ruso’s Raiders.
