Mirrors are luck-based when players play at a similar level. Basically both do the same build and the one who gets more lucky with treasures, position or catch is the winner.

Creating an exciting and diversified final cost me the finals :). It kinda proved the point that unbalanced matchups just suck.

I don't mean this to offend, but I think the finals showed you didn't know a variety of civ matchups: Sioux v India and Sioux mir especially

India vs sioux was perfectly viable on that map. Its his non walling in the brit vs india that screwed him over. And ye sioux mirror... But couldve also gone wrong in that super risky china vs azzy.

I do agree with your point though, Ryan is better in the end imo, but he didnt show his full skills in that finals. Not only his civ picking was questionable but also his decision making regarding some of the strats bs pulled out of his hat. I guess he wasnt up to date in the meta, so the 2 issues are related.

You guys don't understand that even in AOE3, mirrors can be pretty lame. I just saw a Chinese mirror where Samwise12 lost because his opponent spammed Mameluke's.

Sam didn't know best strategy/mongos style.
Most of this game is knowing what strats are best. Once you know what's best, its not that difficult to execute.

not really imo. Mongo went for a monastery and got really lucky that there were mams in there.

No luck,
Look. If you had, one shot or one opportunity, to seize everything you ever wanted in one moment. Would you capture it, or just let it slip ?
