We had pretty nice game yesterday, me, Pauline and Keiz vs Jachu, sado and Guyderains. A lot of action right after PT at the bottom, some more action after some time at the top, great team work on both sides, interesting fights also inside the cities! All this brought to you by Rebound map!

Enjoy!

Double Stable strategy is too good on To maps.

Can you imagine a game, where there are army troubles at PT in both teams, since PT ends there are fights all the time, pushing from both sides, two battle fronts at some moments, uncertainty who will win till the end? Well, you don't have to imagine it, here's the replay!


We had fun, though it was really intense, fighting all the time, mayhem at the battlefield sometimes.
It's one of these games, where you are tired afterwards but you think to yourself "it was a good game".

Check it yourself!

I'd like to thank again all my teammates for good cooperation, opposite team for great fights and also Lewin and Krom for making the Remake

Cheers

P.S. We had a feeling, that top is imba, most locs have far resources (especially stone).

Hi!
Don't you have the 't edition' of this map? :S Next time tell me please and i gave it to you also. t edition has stronger bottom side;)
Nice game!

My first game in 2014 IIRC:

For anyone interested in the game (april fools game so lots of fun strategies)

replay:

Great game we had with Paula on Paula's map it was 1v1, we picked random locs. As it turned out, we both decided to make almost the same builds, with iron as main force. Almost, because Paula did something I've never seen before, check it out Later I decided to use this kind of build in tournament against Bullet and Don Artie .

Some mistakes on both sides, my biggest mistake - late 5th stonemason and no additonal farms. Paula - 4 fully working iron smitties, because of what serfs didn't deliver gold (also late second gold smelter). I learned, that sausage is really useful, especially on small, hard locs.

Fights till the last blood, till last soldier. Enjoy!

Pauline ran out of coal AND coal mines at the last minute of so. She also only had no market and only one laborer, so if you would have held out for a few more minutes you would have had a chance for a comeback..if you could manage the food problem faster than Pauline could manage her gold problem

What was this special thing Pauline did? I didn't notice anything in particular.

Finally sausage is very powerful. It feeds way better than bread. With bread only you'll likely need three to four bakeries just to keep the people fed.

For me making pikes+xbows and some extra leather (like axe fighters), was something I have never seen before, that was special for me

In my opinion 2 bakers are fine, but only when you have 2 mills and 2 or 3 farms. Tiank had only 1 farm which is Really wired. Plus some wine could be nice. 3 bakers would be great but on this map its not that easy to do. As Tiank noticed my mistake was 4 smiths, idecided to not use all coal becouse i wanted to be mobile in the center of my base for better defence. Well, i always doing mistakes, its just me, you know me... But in the end, whole game was really nice to play. I thought he will rush me easy, there was something different, suprise for me that i won.

The production chain needed to fully sustain 1 Armor Workshop also makes as a "collateral" as much "feeding" as 1,16 fully sustained Bakeries (3673,02 seconds of feeding per minute).

This translates to:
2,27 Sausages per minute (0,5 Butchers')
3,4 Loaves per minute (1,16 Bakeries)

One full chain is:
1 Armor Workshop <- 0,54 Tanneries <- 1,58 Swine Farms <- 2,59 Farms
1,16 Bakeries <- 1,22 Mills <- 1,43 Farms

Just thought it'd be worth mentioning here.

Hello Everybody. Today i wanna share with You this match replay. It's about many things. My thoughts flying around : research the map, security (towers), teamwork, diversions, and finally the thing we hate the most... CHAOS! I had a pleasure to play with the best and against the best on the newschool map. I hope You will guys enjoy it. Share your thoughts and opinions about what just happend.

I think teams are imbalanced from the start. According my point of view, teams should have been:
North: [Monkey]Thommerd + [Monkey] Knight + ZOLTAN + FuuN
South: [R.A] David + [EE] Pauline + [EE] Mandos + [EE] Max S
In summary-> Monkey+2 vs RA+EE

It's easy to say the reason South lost is their mistake of not exploring center... none of the 4 considered that important.
We can add the over-extension from David to center, when his flanks were not well covered (just 1 tower each side).
I never saw "[EE] Max S" play before... but he has shown to not be a reliable ally. I wouldn't trust him to cover my flank.

Tough Iron&Gold looks pretty, is not a good map: North has better positions, not to mention super base space for loc 2, so neat, so big that not even South has a loc to compare it (loc 5 is bad because of the west ford that doesn't allow fast straight expansion).

There is already I&G t edition somewhere. The map is wider and the south locs mainly 5 has larger space.:S
