What are the matches missing in CMC vs MDS?

That sweden church build could defintely be optimized. Considering that you got great age1 treasures, even with tower age up the halbs could have popped at 6mins on top of the jans and it would have been a completely different game. Also you really want every single vill on wood in transition to 3 t...

If anything it enables the steppe+keshik army which can be very important in some MUs. But the main advantage is simply that you have rax ready and it saves 200w. China can't afford to chop 400w for both rax and village so they have to chose one and also send 700w first card which is sometimes not i...

BH is to make some units in age2. It is basically 200w instead of 400f.
You can also go nothern refugees and ger cons for the food trickle+cheaper batches.

You see lot of this stuff online too nowadays, especially at night. That's why aside from some psychological reasoning/ sizing tells I tend to stick to the math, looking at odds and base decisions on that. You never know they're doing nonsense stuff and recreational range is too large to begin with ...

- OOP as the preflop aggressor with a good-but-not-great hand on pretty much any flop. This is like the spot you mentioned above - you "show weakness" and villain sees a green light to barrel in the money. I strongly dislike these spots though; I can never tell if they're getting out of l...

[mention]u6[/mention] Does this affect you? How do you keep your autopilot from taking over, especially grinding the game professionally? Ye, autpilot is incredibly common in poker since you also have lot of moments where you are card dead and when finally play some hands with simplified strats it ...

Well that doesn't sound a great idea considering that, I imagine, you can add cheats etc. through mods.

Relying on microsoft for "one last patch" isn't going to work, even if you fix the current known broken stuff (baja, italy, whatever else) then the broken stuff than hasn't been figured out yet will just surface. You would be in the same place as now. -------------------------------------...

Game is too casual for a fan patch. By that I mean it has too many mechanics that are simply not fixable without just removing them. And it is arguable if we should even want that in the first place. Adoption and technical feasibility issues are natural consequences of that too and, let's be honest,...

A fan patch is way too much work and arguably wrong philosophy for this game to start with.

28, the good ol forum grudge post

Imagine the state of the game then

For standard units the wood one is better (worth more), for the outlaw rush the standard is coin but you can go wood and build the tower in transition with cattles. Btw your age1 shipment is 4cows which replace the starting cows you eat at the 9th vill popping for no idle time.

send capitalism

I used to like to warrior priest boom as more of a way to spice up the civ after rushing ten times in a row. I really liked how Aztecs could have 15-20 pop forward base usually well before 6 min. What other civs can pull off a rush on par with old Aztec rush? I do like Iro, but I prefer Aztec age 2...

the coffee mill guns is the best way to make them viable? will definitely try that, but I was lookin more for a build that is reminiscent of spain falc push with 8 pike in transition and age up units, can USA achieve a similar timing? just 1010 FF. Use the 700f State option. 700c, capitol card, 700...

Since coffe mill card was moved to age4 you basically have to FI. It's still kinda OP so it is probably worth (but USA definetely have better options). I used to just do the old church FF into age4 with 1k coin first. Build was capitalism, church card, capitol wagon, 700w, 1k coin, etc. Now you may ...

The 35 wood 40 mace hurts the most in practice, but having no cover mode coyote to tank first volley, tc shots, or retreating, 8/9 mace vs 9/10 mace and weakened stats on puma (which also impacts the 6 puma shipment) compared to TAD also shows up. 150 res to 300 res for warchief xp button, and age ...

[mention]u6[/mention] How is your pro career going? Have you moved? Went down from playing mostly 200nl and 500nl back to 100nl and 200nl because it is more manageable (especially more traffic makes all the difference). I did not move outside of Italy. Realistically I'm not going to if things stay ...

So overall it looks like: - easy fold pre - if you can't fold pre, at least go call-call instead of jamming - if you can't fold pre or go call-call, at least jam the flop instead of the turn Ye pretty much. Option 3 might be preferable than option 2 if you are not sure his range is actually that ti...

I was in similar situations (raising with a flush draw) on at least three separate occasions this past weekend: Spot 1: I have AQss and open $15, player two seats to my left calls IP. Flop 97x two spades (x was like a 3 or something, a low card with no realistic straight potential). I cbet some amo...

Line check - I'm pretty confident the line I took is very bad, and I want to make sure. Context: $1/2/2 live game. My local casino has a weird structure. Most SF Bay Area casinos do actually, I'm not sure why. Here the button pays the $1 but otherwise has the normal button position. The opening act...

Interesting but there is no sign up yet?

Perhaps mods can move the posts in a new specific thread as this one is turning exactly into a strategic discussion it wasn't meant to be. Baja is very much beatable and people are overreacting like always. Do people even realize that the 2 ROF is actually a nerf since renegado type units used to ha...
