Re: Keyboard and Mouse strategy

Reppin' a ÂŁ9 logitech mouse, no mousepad and laptop keayboard.

It would take too long to get used to the bump from a mousepad, familiarity is far more important.

Just wall up like kynesie on roids and never push out until after 1hr when you have 1000 wall segments on the map. Usually works.

Re: ESOC patch balance poll #3 (1v1)

So you are rating brits on this "untapped" potential? Not saying there isn't any, there well could be. But from the current games I've seen I think they're a little under par though still competitive in pretty much all 13 MU's. I've tried a few VC builds in practice, turns out you can age ...

Re: ESOC patch balance poll #3 (1v1)

I'm always amazed at how high brits get rated every patch. I suppose it's because they can be competitive in every match up but I still think they lose most of them even if it's only slight.

Re: resource shipments

Lol 600w > 5 sepoy in every possible way, especially in the case you are not rushing. On the other hand yes, 5 sepoys, wood trickle seems more reasonable for a rush. Sorry but as India if you don't rush your must cards are 600w, 300exp, wood trickle, camel attack, desert terror. You can squeeze in ...

Re: resource shipments

Which means the effective value of the crates becomes 547.4 (600-76x0.6+7). Where do you get 56 – or 115 from?? 3 vils (most common) do not efficiently pick up 600w hence why 56 instead of 53.

Re: resource shipments

I don't think you can queue every tech with no TC and market idle time if you don't use some of the wood crates for that. 20xp = 10 secs earlier card. Already big deal. Each house is 16xp(because of economic building) which is another 6 secs each. You clearly can't drop 4 houses or so with wood tri...

Re: resource shipments

I'm pretty sure 600w does speed up marchet techs, since you want them before any military unit (if doing the most efficient build). Also 600w is just needed in its entirety as your population is about to grow very fast and you need houses, and by dropping buildings you speed up the next card by lik...

Re: resource shipments

600w is most likely superior to Foreign Loggu. The latter needs over four minutes to muster the same amount, and I reckon the benefit of having the whole amount immediately is much greater than the average compound benefit of the trickle, throughout a game. It's actually closer to 3 minutes than 4 ...

Re: resource shipments

I think I've said before the only time you really need 600w is with some sort of TP build. Which I'm still not sure how viable they are in certain MU's. If you go trickle trickle, or trickle 5sepoy trickle you'll have a consulate and every market up before 600w arrives making it pretty redundant. Si...

Let's be real, the build was good but the execution was severely lacking in that game. :lol:

You can watch it again but IIRC I think garja forgot to send his cdb back to gather for something silly like 5 mins.

Nibali or Henao would've won the mens race had they not crashed on the same descent either.
