Nice video! Almost got there! After finishing second tc - put 14/15 villa on wood and only like 6 on food (it’s enough vill production) - you can asap build production, blacksmith, get golden age etc and then after, re balance to food. Makes the start a lot easier.
Thanks mate, I appreciate it. The macro on 2TC feels so different and figuring out the split confused me a lot. Those number make it much easier 👍🏻. And I agree about slow buildings, golden age, production etc. As my macro was off it took way to long to get everything pumping. I will try this in my next one and hopefully you can see the improvement 💪🏻
I think your approach to the matchup puts you at a disadvantage. I prefer to go 1tc aggression as Abbasid to force my opponent to go burgrave if they fc. Spears and camel archers are your friend. Get a mass of ca to hold the maa and then add a delayed 2nd tc into castle age. Just gotta micro the camels to keep them alive. If you want to try opening with 2tc though. I think you need to go culture wing and fc behind it. While doing so, wall the relics with villagers if you can. You can’t let HRE get 3+relics.
Thanks for your suggestions. As I have only just picked up this civ I wanted to try and focus on just one build to get the hang of it rather than experimenting with all the wings immediately, but I might have to give military opening a try next time. I agree that letting HRE get all the relics isn't the best idea and I should have walled them in for sure. The reason I added trade was because he got all the relics and I didn't want to fall behind but my macro was terrible and I didn't make enough farms so I had the food to produce units. I have a lot to work on and remember for my next game 😂
I'm going to be playing Abba for a bit now to learn them, but I will definitely be playing a bit of Byz here and there. If I get more time to play, I would love to play both, so hopefully I can :)
@@moonboy2k185 sure why not, as long as I'm still having fun with them. At my level, the small balance changes don't make a big difference in whether I win or lose
