OK guys,
I'm posting another one of my losses, looking for tips.
The map is tundra and I-Thor went up against this Poseidon guy in rated. I know I made 2 very stupid mistakes and lost 2 big battles, but Poseidon's hippikon was superior to my Thor's RC anytime.
There were 2 instances when he defeated me locally with GPs, one was when a force of Hersir and TA found a large group of his vils and attacked them, only to see him cast ceasefire and be able to build that forward TC, just a sec before I could build it.
The 2nd instance, when he turned into pigs some of my TA that were building a TC in the back-just before finishing, then procceeded to kill of a bunch of my vils gathering wood.
I guess I didn't raid enough, but I was forced on the defensive after losing that first big battle stupidly.
watch and learn from my mistakes and pls give me some advice.
You know, one thing I don't like about Norse VS greek is that their archers are so OP...
I've beaten a 1700 with just archers...

the thing is that they had better horses, and u didn't build many hersirs or ulfs.
Ballistas also brake people's nerves, I would resign a lot be4 u did.
Ok anyway it was a kool match^_^

OK Niko,
I know their hippikon has 50 more hps than my RC, but I was looking for advice and I guess the only answer is to also have Ulfsarks and try to do your best.

Very simple. Ulfsarks!!
You built only raiders and not 1 ulfsark against a huge cav army. If u look under raider counters you'll find that cav are the counter unit to raiders. He had no archers so u should have stopped building raiders after your first attack.

yes, I know what the book says, but Ulfsarks have 88 hp vs the 150 hippikon's. In order for them to win, they must be employed en mass and my food production wasn't up to it.
But your comment is logical and I'll try it next time around.
