Revenge against player with mild BM
Last week i (1400 1v1 elo) played against a player on arena, he picked Britons and i randomed into Portuguese. I just boomed and could grab only 1 relic, as my opponent went castle into long bows straight away. Now I went to imp Faster and tried to push him, but i played miserably, lost siege to his war wolf trebs and long bows. The battle for the middle was lost, but neither of us had any castles in the middle.
In this position, i started dropping archery ranges for skirms. But then my opponent drops "105". After a few minutes. "You never do resign? :o)"
I was fuming and didn't like the idea of losing to this player. But i did lose, so i gg'd away.
Today, I again faced this player, and he seemed to have picked Britons again. I went Dravidians. I have this awesome 20+2 fast castle which got me ahead in the boom by a significant margin, i had +30-40 vills at one point in time. He on the other hand went again with the same castle into long bow strat.
This time I wasn't going to have it. I prepared 20 siege elephants, and tremendous amounts of trash units. He went champions and long bows, so i switched into champs myself with wootz steel. But i kept flooding infantry and siege elephants. Did a side raid with the siege elephants and killed 20+ vills. Was trying to take out his main castle, but he kept jumping in and out of his castle to kill my infantry while sending halbs to kill my siege elephants. He was playing so tenaciously. But i just overwhelmed him with even more infantry. I wasn't going to create a treb. I just wanted to teach this player who is a Britons picker the power of Dravidians. I eventually snagged the 5 relics from his monastery. Destroyed his castles and his 3 remaining long bows were trying to kite my infantry. But then i dropped a 105.
To that, he said "sorry i went half afk in the last half. Gf nagging like crazy :o). gg wp"
I appreciated the gg wp, but i found the excuse hilarious, because there's no apm variance in the last few minutes like he said. Felt very satisfying sending the 105 as revenge.
