i just played a game against a 1720 oranos, and i was loki (maybe the 3rd game i've ever played as loki... my rr is somewhere around 1680 but with loki, i would think it'd be lower) on anatolia.
he taunts me all game, calling me noob, his score about 150 points higher than mine whole game (til end).
he hits classical shortly before me, i have 2-3 docks each side pumping (staying in the building) longboats, and hersirs on AQ in my initial area, he comes in with a massively overwhelming army, with my somehow better micro i get his cheiros and hero murm done just as i start summoning trolls which kill tear through his turmae like tissue paper..
he keeps coming in still overwhelming my army, tears down all military buildings but one, as i have TC on AQ hersirs (to stay in TC) and last longhouse on Hersir (to stay in), as my towers up to the last part, seeing my gold miners (already on 2nd mine) he has a couple murms come try to get it as i have the dwarf their trying to catch run and the others kill the murms (with tower fire help) so he comes in with turma, and i ungarrison 6 ulfs from the TC right beside them (ulfs get that fat bonus!! yay) they shred them to pieces and he has 3 cheiros (hes sending in flanks of army over and over) shoot at the ulfs and i instantly garrison them, change TC waypoint, ungarrison and start ripping them up, then ungarrison my 4 hersirs and i suddenyl have a decent looking army again, i then split it up murms getting turma and cheiros while 2 hersirs build another longhouse and the other hersirs hit his murms.
he then says, "dam your good" and resigned.
yay!!!
that was sheer luck, but it was sooo fun.
i know bragging is bad, but i had to.
so just so this post becomes something productive, and not just ego boost...
when should i go for safeguard and/or arctic winds when i go through heimdall.
