Age of Empires IV: Rus vs China Plat I Solo Ranked Coaching

Coaching focused on: How to win against China
Key Takeaways:
Player would improve gameplay and perform better if player works on the following:
1. Nitpicky items in dark age. Ensuring sheep are as close to TC as possible, ensuring villagers do not have to walk long distance to new sheep
2. Once Knights have been trained, constantly attack enemy eco. At best, kill villagers and lose no knights. At worst, cause China villager idle time, or to wall up their entire base. China will need to move on the map for food, as they run through food quickly. Pay attention (scout) where their food sources are on the map and attack with knights to exploit this.
3. Once aged up (castle or imp), focus on what upgrades you need to immediately get (mil,eco). If you have a lot of knights, immediately get the knight upgrade. You want a bit of gold ready once you hit castle or imp to immediately get these upgrades. Try not to take fights before your upgrades have come in... let the upgrades come in, then engage.

Hey thanks again! This boosted me up to diamond 1 this weekend! I think the sheep under the tc alone is a huge one

Heck yeah! That is awesome. Thanks for letting me know. Yeah the sheep under the TC seems so small but it helps so much!
