had a 1v1 game in micro map vs china, the guy decided to build hes defensive landmark right infront of my main tc, was able to hit my vils that was gathering food, or spawning from tc
question is , is this intended
im not sure how are you supposed to counter that , since hes villagers build it too quickly , and there isnt much to react to it in the first place

Do you mean Barbican RUSH?
I hate this as well but it is not irresistible.
You could put your villagers in your TC if the Barbican was too close.
Or you could abandon that collection area if the Barbican was not so close.
All in all, you’d better focus on scouting to prevent this action. There must be a large group of villagers coming to you after giving up their important collection work.
At last, I have to say, this is not a bug, although it is really annoying me.

yes, the problem is it was not too close not too far, tc couldnt target it, even if it did it cant hit vills building behind it
and how can i abandon main tc, every vill that comes out takes a hit, plus it was micro map, there is forest behind me, and main center covered by barbican
wish 1v1 wasnt a micro sized map, china can deny such large portion of map in such early game
it feels worse than outpost rush or previous bug with mongol tc rush

Wrong category, this is a balance issue not a bug report
You can change the direction of farmers leaving TC by adjusting the rally point.
Since your TC can’t shoot at them during the construction of the barbican, it also means that the barbican can’t block all directions for your villagers to go out.
Generally speaking, the barbican rush is very annoying, but there still some solutions. You can even build a wooden wall foundation where they may put the barbican in advance, so that the barbican cannot be put down at that place, then you can cancel that foundation after they leave.
still the map was very small, i think it was map with wood sorrounding you, mountain clearing? and a micro sized map , anyway u got no space left basicly, it a nightmare dealing with that, guess i was just very unlucky with those settings and enemy player
anyway im not new player, i dont get frustrated easy, i just restart game it fine for me
but imagine a new player in age still trying to learn stuff and someone does this to them
this will have huge impact on new players, who will end up leaving
