Spain vs Sioux

Post by Durokan »

Does spain have a niche use against sioux? Rods shred cavalry and are harder to kite than pikeman due to their speed. With a Huss + rodelero combo for example can they beat sioux? You could do a 5/10 rodelero semi against a 5 bowrider semi, and then have access to lancer + rod which beats most of sioux's units with ease. This combo gets beaten by rifle riders, but in the event your opponent makes those you can make skirms out of your raxes, the same place the rods come from. You could also do skirm rod in fortress? i am not an expert on playing against sioux but spain seems like they could do well, atleast on paper.

I've tested rods vs bowriders before. Bowriders run faster than rods, but they have to stop and shoot. If the sioux warchief is dead, then you can get a good trade with your rods chasing the skirms. If he's not, dead you can't get a good trade. This still wouldn't work in a real game tho, because he could just run all the way back to his TC, and when you have to turn around he can get a couple of shots off every time. If you play spain vs sioux you should go age 2 and mass musk xbow. 700w 5v 700g 600w 8 pike, anf push with the 8 pike because that's when hes probably aging. If he's aging earlier, you push earlier too.

In fortress Sioux will destroy it (compositionally, that is) but without Wakinas you should be fine.

Your 5-10 rods semi is too slow to work because you don't have a fast ageup. By the time you're up and you have a stable mass Sioux easily has 15 rifle riders and a few axe + 3 dogs. The best thing to do in this mu is probably to pike/rods rush.

That''s a nice rec, I''ve always gone musk bow in this matchup but musk rod seems really good. I''m not sure if you can always rush the sioux like that and keep him from aging and getting RR tho. I would like someone knowledgeable to comment on this.

If they age up they won''t have a "mass". I tested age 2 br vs rods.

Perhaps not, but you certainly need to hit and run against Rodeleros.

Just lag and let your br hit while rods are just running, I know a pro sioux player who lags so much he killed 30 pikes with 35 brs without loosing any.

Yeah, that's also an acceptable strategy with rods/pikes. Just start downloading a 1 tb movie or something while playing.

Not only QS it''s quite commonly seen on hosted games as well. Maybe more common in QS tho.
Also hitting alt-f4 is a pro strat i came to know about recently while in a stream chat.
