Why Mongol Steppe Lancers Seem OP | 1200 Elo Coaching 

Hi hera lord snow here thanks for all the insights will try to implement all the suggestion in my game

The resource floating hurts to watch. Blue is just dying yet has 1500 stone, a couple castles and the lancers do nothing. Yellow doesn't want to lose his army so he isn't raiding but he has 50 light cav worth of food he doesn't use.

Both sides ended up with 2K wood. Spent that wood on more production buildings. If yellow made 10 more stables, he could have spammed 50 light cav in 4 minutes and crushed blue's economy. If blue made 10 barracks he could have spammed halbs for days and defended cost effectively until he could build up his Savar to attack with.

Steppe lancers have never been balanced. They have either been A. Incredibly strong where they kill everything. or B. So incredibly useless that no one makes them. Really poor unit design that the devs added into the game

Love the coaching content brotha

Why are you not Leech anymore? :( I really loved that jokename. And I saw you genuinely laughing too

How can you zoom out so much. I got a QHD monitor but I am unable to zoom out to this extent whilst playing

1:18 Yes, Mongols were historically friendly.

As someone who's still struggling with Hard AI, the expanding thing is a huge advice. Thank you, Hera

i didnt even watch the video yet i just wanna say mongols is OP

I kinda feel like (as a 702 with only 10 games of ladder under my belt) that execution is the big key for me. I'm trying to be diligent about keeping an eye on my villager creation and am working on this playing against AI. It's good to hear that if our fundamentals are sound, improvement will follow (hopefully!). Also at the end, thank you for mentioning the lines of attack. In chess, the saying goes "If attacked on the flanks, counter in the center (and vice versa)". For a new player, that is tough to remember sometimes and I am working on that too. Thank you, this has given me some great ideas.

1:20 It's called "busted evil OP bullshit"

I do seem to be seeing this a lot lately.

Whenever it is avaible just spam it

GOOD GAME

11:55 i was gonna say why not make a wooden gate on that deleted wooden wall... 10 secs later, the enemy army comes through that gap. Persian player did a dogshit attack so no much harm was done, but still. 15:54 Mongol player had a perfect opportunity to place a castle on a high ground mountain near the Persian base, could also protect those vils on forward gold since they are exposed and no vision buildings are built around. Also ofc, using those fresh army units to either attack from another flank or secure the castle/gold i just talked about.

4:22 😅😅🤣

What lost blue the game IMO was the idle time early on his TCs. His second TC goes up at 23:30 in-game, but he doesn't produce from them consistently despite having more than enough food. Then at 27:11 in-game he completes his third TC, a big investment of resources and villager time at that point, and essentially idles all 3 of them for over a full minute. They're Persian TCs too, so he should have had a fairly sizable eco lead already by the 29 minute mark, and with at least equal army numbers, would have been in a good position to snowball.

I swear I’ve seen this lord snow guy from t90 am I losing my mind?

Im a stble 800 elo, right now Im at 700 owr 600 but I have beaten this Lord Snow multiple times on the ladder, nice to see he is now at 1200. Im pretty sure I still can beat him. I leave multiple games and dont play multiple games correct since I like to play doing something else in my second always

I never understand why people are so bad at walling...
