From major to brigadier: How to improve at higher levels?
Re: From major to brigadier: How to improve at higher levels?
It can be a good idea sometimes, it just depends, obviously. Vills' efficiency may not always be the main priority.

Re: From major to brigadier: How to improve at higher levels?
My best advice is to get a smurf account and only play people major or lower with less then 25 HC. If you can keep up the winrate you get your big PR :)

Pretty sure this is about skill and not PR per se

Not trying to balance whine here btw.
To be fair laming the top civs is not necessarily easy if you used to play and underpowered civ. It is not automatic at the very least.
If you were to play iros on RE qs from scratch against the moltitude of possible lame stuff you would still get tossed around like half of times. It still takes skills to win with the superior civ, just like it takes skills to win with the same or an inferior civ.
The difference is that once you know the real potential of a civ you understand how to leverage that to win almost all possible situations. Basically you still have to learn how to win from a won position.

I do think that some people are discounting the effect of age. Obviously there are exceptions but when you are younger you simply will have faster reaction times and generally will be able to make the needed decisions quicker than when you are older

ye this is true, but it doesn't really start to be a thing before 35, assuming you take good care of your body/health

Re: From major to brigadier: How to improve at higher levels?
different parts of the body start to age at different times. the brain starts to age as one of the earliest, but the body parts you need to play aoe i think don't really start to age till late 30's. i might be wrong though, and every one is slightly different as well.
Re: From major to brigadier: How to improve at higher levels?
lol the body and the brain don't age at different times, they're always aging. I think what you mean is they age at different rates.umeu wrote:different parts of the body start to age at different times. the brain starts to age as one of the earliest, but the body parts you need to play aoe i think don't really start to age till late 30's. i might be wrong though, and every one is slightly different as well.

nah
aging as in the process of deterioration doesn't start at the same time in every part of the body. The brain starts to deteriorate first, but does so quite slowly. While the eyes for example start to deteriorate later, but do so faster.
Re: From major to brigadier: How to improve at higher levels?
No its not. From the age of 1 to the age of 20, you have aged 19 years, even though your body has grown rather than deteriorated. Aging is simply the process of growing older lol, regardless of change.umeu wrote:gibson wrote:lol the body and the brain don't age at different times, they're always aging.

were not talking about the same thing. You are talking about aging as in counting years. I'm talking about aging as in deterioration. I didn't make this clear at the start, but i did make it clear in the last post.
Re: From major to brigadier: How to improve at higher levels?
well it was clear from the start, you can tell clearly by the context, which I noticed after reading it a second time, but at that point I'd already hit reply and was committed to being incredibly petty so went through with it anywayumeu wrote:gibson wrote:No its not.

Re: From major to brigadier: How to improve at higher levels?
Still to me this topic remains a mystery. Ive been trying to figure out why I have been winning games or losing games and the overwhelming majority of games I have no idea why I won and often also not why I lost. I have turned into the world's worst coach. When people ask me for tips all I can come up with nowadays is 'I dont actually know why I won or you lost'. Somewhere there is some hidden knowledge that I so far have only managed to learn subconsciously.

Yes haha, i'm also kinda clueless on where I need to improve, this is hard to understand.
The other day I though "this BO looks solid!" and I played one game with LordRaphael, he saw one absurd flaw in my game and rekt me. Ok, at least I learned something there.
This goes to reeinforce the importance of playing against good players. Against a worse one I would probably get away with that bad bo and keep doing that mistake.

Becoming Korean would probably help.
On a more serious note having good mental focus is key. If you're lethargic and crappy like me 24/7 it's hopeless.
