wow, that was a pretty clean counter game. Love the early spears for defense and counter with knights.. Cought him off guard. The spears kept him from fully going into your base, basically wasting his early investment and they were to far away from his base when you attacked with knights. Its like you put his military in idle mode for a bit. Perhaps new build for Rus is 1 barracks to kick things off to save on early tower defense and then push with knights and achers? BTW, how do you deselect 2 vils from the group in the opening game so quickly? I know you hot key TC to Q vils, then hot key select all vils, but whats your way of separating the two vils so quickly? Tab then double click on the all selected group of vils to get two out?
I would advise thinking of the early barracks as a reaction to his stable,, its not always necessary. And the vil selection is just a lot of practice with dragging over vils. I think 3 is actually better so I try to get 3 but if u get 2 or 4 its better to just build it and keep playing then to have idle time or something trying to perfectly get the amount of vils u want
