"insuficient wood, words that you wouldn't want to hear from any woman" LMAO Drongo you made me spill my coffee

[Ismaelz]

This can't be nerfed. It requires skill and delivered a really fun game to watch.

Sure the push was “disgusting”, but it was also well executed, slow, methodical, and well designed. Kudos to the player. He executed very well and never got overly ambitious. GG’s!

Drongo been watching you almost all your videos. They are awesome! Really appreciate the 4k uploads. With youtube compression 1080p looks really blurry. Thank you!

Good decision from Corey to do a Base race at the end, he actually got a chance there.
Trebutchets are so underrated in this game, he could easily counter he trebuchet pull with trebuchet of his own, yeah English have better trebuchet but you can actually destroy a trebuchet if you pick they by surprise with 5 of your own

The dock from Core at 9:40 ish was absolutely amazing. He snuck that in behind the push back of the archers. Top level micro and awareness of players on how long they think they can push the archers off and knowing they can run a couple vills up and get it built. Absolutely blew me away that all of a sudden after a relatively quick engagement POOF! He as a dock.

OMFG! The insufficient wood cracks at the end had me rolling! Well casted well played!

Really exciting game!

Strike could have mixed in a few stone wall towers with his walls to give the trebs the network of castles bonus as well, would have been filthy dpm

[jonathankelly]

English outposts look the coolest. They look like mini castles.

[FREDRICK]

"Keep in mind he didn't die" Always one of my key metrics when I am trying to figure out if I am ahead.

[tkpenalty]

Core got too focused on the treb creep when he could have punished with raiding strikers base earlier

[TimTR]

Idea for stonewalls: Damage overspill to adjacent walls. Makes realistic cool holes and nerfs them.

English is so fun with the recent patch. Network of castles is 🔥

[ryanrhoades]

I feel like at this point against English you're probably going to want to immediately send a scout directly towards their base to check for incoming MAA.

About the comment on casualties happening during retreats: In the old kind of war where melee weapon wielding soldiers met each other line vs line it’s correct that the retreat was the part of the battle seeing the high casualties, especially if it was a disorganized retreat or a full route. The reason was usually the winning side would then deploy their cavalry reserves that could ride down infantry out of line. In modern war though, the huge casualties happen when forces leave cover to attack without properly having suppressed or destroyed the defenders and get countered by artillery. napoleon Bonaparte is famous for having taken full advantage of this, using horse drawn artillery that could quickly be moved to where the enemy was on the move and exposed. And an example as recent as they come: the Ukrainians did the same thing against the Russians trying to cross the Siversky Donets river three days ago apparently wiping out an entire battalion in one go.

What a great game! I was on edge of my seat the entire back half of the game. Do walls have to be nerfed again, or just trebuchets? Maybe it would balance things if walls took longer to construct?

[daitokayoya]

1:38 the Ottoman is coming, past Drongo

[superawesome]

Couldn't you do men at arms in siege towers to drop onto the walls and flood behind to push the trebs back, then bombards to blast the walls? Or rams bombards to break the walls then flood in infantry or pop trebs with springalds or culverin? Or an earlier counterattack. This strat didn't look that broken to me but maybe I'm wrong.

[BGQB]

Talking about wrong landmark name, sometimes all the landmarks are called cathedral of st. Thomas, no matter which faction you play xD

[WhoAmi]

Trebuchet conters Stone Wall. If the enemy is abusing Stone Wall and you make insufficient Trebuchet. There's nobody to blame but yourself.
