Bloodtree, that wasn't 1v1 Bloodtree vs Matt.. you know? try to think about it, and by the way, Matt did base trade, he lost his base for Ben's base.

just a note ...

Did I say`ed something about 1v1 or fair game? Or that I am better that him? I am not better then him and I don`t want be like him.

think about it again

I never say that someone plays bad but now I am. Matt if you can leaving open doors twice in your city when your army is away and let noobs rape your city I can say you played that game worse then me.

Read again. I am talking about this replay not other games.

Why I never seen romek or any other good players acting like Matt do?
You don`t know why?

Terrible trade. Just terrible!

The fact is that he did not know that I will do it and yeah terrible trade. If it even was a trade but can`t bet sure about this.
And blame poor sado that he couldn't defend him and attack at same time. Could he do it?

It`s really enjoying how he comments after game. Oh my city was so perfect.

In my opinion, Bloodtree, Matt is one of the best, and he could be the "best" on any given day. He has good micro skills, awesome vision, great city building, and huge rushes.

I think that Matt is misunderstood on this forum. Sure, his attitude was poor in some of his posts. He quickly dismissed opinions of poor players because he knew that he was right and they were wrong. I can hardly blame him; though, because Matt clearly has a good understanding of the game, and he knows this. When you are arguing with someone, and you know that you are right, is it easy to let the other guy try to convince everyone that he is right? Of course not. Matt is the same way.

Matt also is a very sarcastic and light-hearted fellow. he enjoys his fun and likes to brag with his friends. I'm the same way. If I beat my friend in a game, I'll call him a noob or say that he is the worst player ever, but he knows that I'm just having some fun. He'll do the same to me when he beats me. There is a time and place for this attitude, and not everyone likes it. I think this is another thing that contributed to Matt's notoriety on the forum.

Anyway...I really wasn't intending on writing all of that. I just fell that Matt is misunderstood sometimes. I can speak from experience, too, because I felt the same way about Matt until I actually got to know him.

Bloodtree, Matt did good, he was too busy helping save Mully and kill Ben, that he actually relied on my troops defending our bases. And I think did a good job there... more with some nice fighting ideas than troops amount. Later I got outspammed though because Blud helped you, and while I was good enough to keep you alone out of my base (or somewhere near my towers at least), Blud was just too much and the game was lost then already.

Personally I agree with TS players opinion about your fighting skills. Not so long ago I was considered "very bad" when it comes to fighting, now I'm said to be improving. If I can outmaneouver you, then you are at least bad. Don't get me wrong, you can make a nice spam (you're rarely doing leather though, but I guess that's just your style), but you can't use it at all. I'd like to point some things out, I want you to actually get better, it'd be a waste of a potential good player.

-fighting is MUCH more important than finishing your city after pt. If you can't finish your town, don't. Only food is more important than fighting - no food, no new army, since your serfs will die. But if your food is ok, LEAVE your city after pt.
-under (x)bow fire, militia is like a serf with an axe. It's REALLY easy to kill them with shooters. Never go out with militia alone on (x)bowmen, NEVER. You will waste it in seconds.
-attack with many smaller armies, not one big army
-use (x)bows to annoy the enemy. The best way is to take xbows and facing your enemy's xbows DIAGONALLY, go 1 step closer, kill their 1 xbow, wait for them to get formation messed up, go 1 step closer again, shoot once or twice, and get back.
-use shoot-and-go-back. It means: go close enough to attack the enemy, then when he tries to pursue you, get back by stepping 1 step back all the time. So it looks like: let xbows shoot once, step back, let them shoot once again, step back, and so on...
-when you are escaping with your troops, always use shoot-and-go-back
-when your enemy is stupid enough to go out with militia only, use shoot-and-go-back, even if you have no melee to cover your xbows, you will kill miltia easily.
-attack with (x)bows from many sides. When your army is facing xbows of your enemy, and you take another xbow army from the side, it will be very bad for your enemy.

I guess there could be more tips, I probably forgot about something important. I hope it's helpful.

If you look at my time zone I play at late night when i should go sleep. When we are waiting for game starts one hour or more and then i get kick you don`t know how it is. And later I hear that Matt again wins.
Do you think at late night after 60min game time I care what will happen next most of the time I just wan`t finish it faster and go sleep.
Even with Russian style i get better progress then most others players.
I can make in any loc nice army when others can`t and blame loc or map.
You can`t get better if you play all the time with bad players.
I had game with random players and they told me how good they are but after 60min pt ended they had small army`s. Where is fun killing noobs?

Each time when i turn on TS i feel like in pig farm with thous strange noise.
Some of you guys can even belch on TS and why other have to hear all this crap?
Or when i am in team with polish players they all speak in polish and how could i understand what they are saying like was it in that replays game.

Matt`s never seen me lose when I was playing with him. All the time I do my work better or worse but I Complete my part.
Seems we just don`t like each other.

And Sado from you I can`t learn anything you talk a lot but when comes to work it fails.

BloodTree, if we are to continue this, could we do it on teamspeak, please? No sense in blowing up the forum with this discussion, and it is too hard to understand each other in an argument wile using posts.

It would be better if you had a mic because discussions get more heated with text than voice.

Quick thoughts.

+sado is currently playing "slightly above sado".
+You are you. Matt is Matt. Everyone is someone.
+Life is eternal, and I will play with BloodTree next time.

OK then, I'll keep slaughtering you then with army 10 times smaller than you have... I am an idiot but somehow it's enough for your skills.
Note to myself: I should stop caring about random internet strangers, it's not worth it.

You should consider using leather sometime it could improve your bases.

I did not mean that. But yes I should but still its not a right time for me to do it.
When i came after break my skills was worse and It takes time to improve your build style sometimes its better build smaller base witch works then large base witch daying after PT it self.

drink beer while you are playing, it could improve your base and than fighting still after PT
