Hi folks,
Here is a replay from a new map called Arctic Warfare. Florek had difficulties playing/testing loc 2 so I decided to take loc 2 in this game. We all need to get used to new maps so don't expect it to be flawless. This map is build to be more open then usual, so it has more room to flank armies if needed and it's harder to digg in with towers. Distances are also greater then normal so expect large villages with much builders and serfs.
Maybe it's interesting to do a short review first:
Team 1: To (brown/loc 2) and Kates (purple/loc 3)
team 2: Koczis12 (yellow/ loc 1) and Florek (black/ loc 4)
Peacetime was 65 mins.
To's gameplay:
+ many wood early on
+ early leather production
+ 3 pigfarms
+ additional storehouse
+ mixed army
+ horses
+ exploring map before and after peacetime
+ towers
- not enough coal
- too few serfs to deliver buiding material fast enough.
kates' gameplay:
+ focused on wood early on
+ expanded nicely, grabbing all recourses along the way.
+ exploring map from the start.
+ additional storehouse
+ troops in numbers
+ splitting his troops made him win the 1st battle.
+ had all 5 ironmines supporting 4 smelters
+ a teamplayer
- no mixed army
- no food production at all
- no leather production at all
Koczis12's gameplay:
+ very fast farms
+ fairly fast iron production
+ 3 pigfarms
+ scouted his base
+ focused on leather also
- protection of the base was very poor
- lost too much troops by moving along towers
- only used xbows and lances
Floreks gameplay:
+ fast iron smelter
+ nice expanding in all directions
+ fast iron weapon production
+ leather production
+ 4 weapon makers late game to get many militia fast
+ 10 woodcutters total in the end
+ horses
+ mixed army
- bad luck/micro with horses
- defences game up too late
