Would have to see the match. He is ahead in army by a lot and is prob preasuring the opponent so its paying off. In your rec due to the relic the army counter is wrong but i can still see you are more evenly through the military value, unlike in this match where set is ahead. Dont think he is 2 tc and his opponent 1 tc thou i cant see the map from your image. What i said applies to the context you were in: 2 tc vs 1 tc but somehow behind in villagers.
Also atty vill count is gonna be ahead due to the lower training time so he might not even be behind when you account for that. That doesnt happen with hades. If you are behind in villager count being 2 tc vs a guy being 1 you lost villagers or made a mistake somewhere. Your scenario is different.
You can skew any screen shot into what you wanna see, theres more to it most of the time.
Theres things you Will get with more experience, like preasuring that gold he has on the top. Walling up earlier, having map control with obelisk, etc.
Not free but safe. Farms arent free, favor also isnt free. Either way gold is neither. Specially on steppe, mino costs gold and in that map you can easily push for gold starves.
Assuming you max out on villagers (which is not always needed), that’s 100 pop which is 10 houses. You still got 6 houses and 4 TC worth of pop.
Besides, priests are surprisingly good utility units with their heal. They can also make decent front line units as they don’t take bonus damage from anyone.
You dont need 100 vills. You need a game plan to follow. Either you have tc advantage and play defensively more villagers and more eco or you are on 1 tc pushing and playing for an advantage or timing.
What you cant be is a TC ahead and behind in villager count against an opponent thats 1 tc.
Their gold lasts longer but its not infinite. You can for sure gold starve any god in the game.
By the way. I completely forgot to mention this. Throwing axes didn’t get any bonuses this patch. Funny. They raised all the archers except the northerners.
I think all archers were good and didn’t need any buffs. By weakening their armor, they strengthened defensive buildings, that’s true. Now it makes more sense to build them. But archers are already brutally dominant in this game. I know this for sure because I’m currently playing as Egypt.
Currently, only Odin and Thor have economics, both through god bonuses and their GPs. Freyr’s economic bonuses are very weak, and Loki’s are nonexistent. I’m amazed this wasn’t clear from the start.
Even Ra has better stats; it’s a disaster.
