But... isn't that just 6 extra villagers? Sure, after the gold runs out it's a lot of gold, but until then it's just a 4-5 % extra gather rate given 120-130 villagers in late game.

Every 20 minutes is like having an extra 4 tiles of gold to in your base, except you don’t have to mine them. If someone started the game with an extra 4 tiles of gold in their base in a tournament it would be an instant admin restart because it would be so unfair.

I've been playing armenians a lot since the dlc dropped and tried a lot of skirm/spear play after i saw your korean video. Imo their dark age spears is one of their strongest boni. Not only can you basically drush without collecting 10 extra gold, you can even transition into skirms and get fletching, should you commit to feudal, without building a mining camp. Thats important since archer rushes are the only strat able to really punish you going for spears into fast castle into wp for relics. So having the option to build the archery range instead of the market and to pump a few skirms early is really nice.

For the Armenians and Georgians, I've been thinking of building a mule cart and collecting deer with it and then moving it to wood/gold/stone depending on the build. Might be an interesting unless the deer is far away from any wood/gold/stone.

You know that vills will drop off all res, of any type, they are carrying when they build a drop point or a farm? So if you have deer near somewhere you want to build a camp, 3-4 vills can gather the deer then build the camp and you get the food.

What works for Hera will probably not work for anyone else, being a pro I'm sure his ability to read situations and read specific players must come into it, strategy games where you both understand the meta and the counter the only thing missing is making your opponent uncomfortable, most games that are 'messy' generally are harder to win as there's no clear choice of what will work. If I played Hera I'd be read like a book, countered and dead 😂 delaying your opponent from doing something by forcing them to react is good 👍.

Hi, Hera! Don't know where else to reach you - I've come up with a strat myself: Persians immediate barracks into two milita drush. with the +50 food you can keep vil production going and reach the enemy TC around 4:30. You'll need to loom for creating your first milita and take stragglers until you can lumber camp yourself. Then it's a regular dark age. You can hit the enemy lumber camp with unloomed vils and it's quite a big surprise. Works especially well when the wood-line is far. I'm too low level to execute it, my milita just walk straight into the enemy TC in the midst of luring boars and force dropping food. Hope you can give this a try. If you feel like this works, I'd love to see this as a surprise in a tournament, I can delete this comment as well, so this stays quasi-unknown. Take care, love your content and congrats on your recent successes!

I feel like i've seen a high level player do a build like this but for a different reason. Their reason was because there was high hunt on the map and by making a couple of quick spears they could lame the hunt while getting tons of scouting. I for the life of me can not remember who it was and can't find the game atm. But I do remember a single spear prevented the scout from pushing deer.

it's true only us noobs try new strategies and we cant even execute them good. I play mostly vs bot and i have been trying Armenians strategies like early spear or militia rush and if it goes well upgrade them and add some scouts while making sure i can hit castle asap by delaying opponent. At castle age I like to go xbows to finish opponent off asap or send more scouts/knights/spears just to suppress enemy and choke their eco. I see your strat is playing by the book going for relics and then unleashing your eco on opponent. The early infantry line and the superior eco gives you so many ideas and the fact that you can simply hit enemy with early infantry + any complementary unit is just insane. I can't wait to see more variations to this strat

When you said pro players don't invent nothing, it might actually be true for the large part if we base our assumptions like they are in rest of the world of inventions. For example most of the inventions like the bulb, are not invented by guys such as Edison, because someone else actually invented the light bulb, but Edison was the first to market it globally. So usually people who we called inventors of inventions, are very often people who marketed them and sold them most efficiently and not the actual first guys who did the thing and revealed it to the world.
