How LoueMT Makes GOLDEN HORDE Work at the Highest Level

Swaggy Professor35:05

Transcription

Liant Ti is one of the five best AoE4 players in the entire universe. He already won his first S tier tournament this year by beating Marine Lord, the best player in the world. And now in the latest Sier tournament, he is the only player who has picked the Golden Horde on a land map despite all of their weaknesses at the top level. So the question is, does he know something we don't? Let's get into it.

The reason Golden Horde is almost never picked at the top level and why they sit at a below average 49% win rate in Conqueror and above is because they are one of the weakest early game civs in AoE4. They start with one less villager. Their drop-off buildings cost more than normal. They are forced to build an Ovoo and unlike the base Mongols, they cannot move their town center to protect any of these exposed buildings. This guarantees an extremely late Feudal timing and if they get Spearman rushed, they simply cannot defend their eco.

Now once they hit Feudal Age, they do unlock the Khan and the Tuts, both excellent later in the game, but early on, they're still not the best heavy cavalry. Their economy also needs a long time to kick in, which gives their opponents a very comfortable window to deal damage, delay Castle, or boom themselves. And speaking of Castle Age, Golden Horde has one of the slowest age-up mechanics in the entire game. It takes them two full minutes to reach Castle after clicking. [music] And since they can't put villagers on the landmark like almost every other civ can, there's no way to speed this up. That gives the enemy even more time to get an upgrade advantage and end the game right there.

Now that we understand why this civ is considered weak at the top level, let's see how one of the best players in the world deals with all of these disadvantages. Okay, everyone. So, here we are looking at a game of Louis MT playing the Golden Horde against Scarlet Devil, who is, I think, a teammate of his or at least he practices a lot with him. Both Louis and Scarlet, both Chinese players. And [music] here we're going to see how Louis MT deals with one of, if not the best civilization in the game. And as I mentioned before in the intro, we already see that Scarlet is going for Barracks Rush. And this is because what I mentioned before, Golden Horde is extremely weak to early harass. And Louis here got a really, really bad spawn because his stone is extremely forward. This is like a thousand kilometers away from his base. So, uh, let's see what uh Scarlet Devil does uh to counter this. So let's see what actually Louis does to counter this.

So Scarlet Devil decides to go uh one Spearman on the back, uh to his gold and to to start hitting the Ovoo. And take a look at this. So Louis decided to pull one of his sheep towards this gold. And the reason for this, let me actually slow it down a little bit to explain this. The reason for this is because if this Spearman, if he went for a regular 7-3 split uh with his villagers as every other civilization or almost every other civilization does at the start of the game, this Spearman here would have gotten to his gold before he could have before he could mine uh the gold needed to age up. As you see here, he already has the gold needed. He doesn't have the food yet. He's about to. Um, now he, he does and now he starts aging up and that is because he sent these two villagers here to gather the gold needed before the Spearman arrived. And because he doesn't want to uh these two villagers already walked a really long distance over here uh to get there and because he didn't want them to walk all the way back to the to the sheep, he just um placed a sheep here on the gold and he started gathering from it. And if this guy ever uh starts getting way too low uh on HP, he can just repair them instead of uh having to send another villager back to to repair. So he, by by doing this, he is avoiding a lot of walking time with his villagers. Although I did see that he was uh getting a ton of idle time here under his TC because I think he didn't have enough sheep. Uh, I, I don't think he has returned the sheep yet. So he had a ton of idle time anyways here under his base, but now he's going into into food. And let's see how the Ovoo is doing. So these two guys have been hitting it the whole time. And Louis here is already going up with the Khan Tuts, as which is by far the best one uh in my opinion and I think in everybody else's opinion. And the way he defends this is he cannot kill these two guys with villagers. Uh and he cannot kill them with Tuts with the Khan or with the Tuts either. So what he's going to do is he's going to build a fortified outpost with all the wood that he gathered from here. And now he saves his Ovoo. So now that it is uh burning, he just needs to repair it a little bit with one uh villager. And if he tries to come back and hit it, he just uh garrisons in the fortified outpost. Uh, really, really nice and he probably will save this Ovoo too now that he is uh almost in the Feudal. By the way, noticed the I'm not sure if you guys noticed, but Scarlet Devil actually got to Feudal Age faster than uh than Louis did, even while investing into a Barracks and three Spearmen. This is why Golden Horde is really, really hard to play at the top level because they can abuse the fact that uh aging up to Feudal and to Castle is extremely slow. So now the Khan can definitely deal with just one Spearman and he's also going or at least I think he's going to go for for a Tuts pretty soon.

So now he successfully survived the Dark Age uh with all of the the the micro tricks that we just saw. He went into a Stockyard interestingly uh before going into the deer. Actually, he's going into the deer right now. I, I am not sure why he went into Stockyard before the deer. I would have probably preferred to go into the deer first. Maybe because he was uh scared of the of the Spearman and the Lords. But right now, this is something else you can do. By the way, the Golden Horde can build uh walls. So, make sure to use that. Uh, some players I've seen, they just keep the walls because they are used to playing Mongols that cannot build walls, but you can do that with with the civilization. So right now he has one Stockyard which will help him uh maintain his food on under his TC and he has this deer here protected and he's also went for a second Ovoo. So right now what it looks to be happening is that he's going into full cavalry, so Khans and Tuts, and he's going to go for an Archery Range as well to defend uh the Spearman that he has here. Right now it looks pretty grim for Louis MT, by the way, because uh there's look at the army difference at this point. So what he can do right now with this cavalry is to actually go and catch the reinforcements, but it's actually pretty hard to do so because he has Spearmen here. And now uh these villagers are actually in a lot of trouble and he and Scarlet Devil is sending uh units uh from both sides. This wall is not going to be there in time. So he just has to run. He's getting chased, by the way, Scarlet by Archers and and Tuts. So, this was a really nice timing attack by Scarlet Devil that caught um Louis MT off guard. Right now, it looks like he got just one kill out of that. One or two kills. Yeah, I think just one kill out of that raid. But there's a lot of idle time going on with uh Louis's villagers. But right now, he has, I think three. Okay, only two archers to deal with this amount of Spearmen is not going to be enough. So, I don't think uh Louis MT has the mass to to win a fight here. And so, right now, what he's going for is just the food under his TC that is pretty untouched thanks to the the food that he gathered from here and thanks to the Stockyard as well. And by the way, I'm going to go back a little bit to analyze the fortified outpost play that he did right here. This fortified outpost. It would seem like a waste if he was playing any other civilization, but because this outpost actually buffs up the Stables, the Archery Range, and the Golden Tent uh because of this production speed edict, it is actually not not wasted at all because you will still want a fortified outpost here anyways to buff up your buildings. So, really nice play by Louis MT here to save the Ovoo in the Dark Age. And right now, he is massing up a ton of cavalry. Uh he's already got what's this? Six Khans and [music] seven Tuts and uh some archers. Not enough archers though to deal with the amount of uh Spearmen and and Lords that he has here. Uh, but anyhow, Scarlet Devil already did a ton of damage and now he's trying to go for a White Tower. But Louis MT sees it straight away. He knows that he's going for a White Tower and this is what I told you about in the intro as well. He can go to Castle extremely quickly because he can put a ton of villagers on it. And if Louis MT wanted to follow him to Castle, he cannot because he has to research it here in the Golden Tent. And it takes 2 minutes and 5 seconds, which is extremely slow and there's no way to to speed that up. So right now he splits his cavalry. He goes Raid. He goes to Raid. This is the correct choice uh because he cannot do anything about this White Tower. So all he he can do right now is raid. And raiding also is extremely good because it buys him time for him to get to Castle. Uh, but right now it looks really, really grim for Louis here. And this is here you're seeing in full display why Golden Horde is so weak. And right now I'm wondering myself how Louis is going to be able to win this because it looks like he's still 1 minute and 30 seconds away from from an age up. He only has this amount of units. Uh, Scarlet Devil has better economy. Well, actually, no. Uh, Scarlet Devil is actually behind on economy, but he's one age ahead. And now, let's see what Louis does to defend this push. So right now this fortified outpost is really, really important uh to defend because he can he can switch the Golden Tent to a defensive aura edict if he so chooses to to increase all of these units' health by 10%. Right now it is he he just puts it in production speed uh still and Scarlet Devil is waiting, I, I guess to get his upgrades. He's getting plus two ranged armor. Uh, and he's making a ton of Knights and a ton of armored units right now. He also puts uh Manor here. So, all of these guys are buffing up the Manor. And this Manor is actually giving almost 200 resources per minute, which is actually insane. And now he finally gets to Castle and immediately he goes for the Veteran Khans and Steel Arrow. This Steel Arrow is really important not just for his archers but because it also buffs up the fortified outpost and the TC damage. So he has survived but Scarlet Devil now has a timing to attack before his upgrades kick in. And by the way, the Tuts are upgraded immediately. Uh, they don't need to be upgraded like the other units. They just get upgraded immediately. So, take a look at how Louis MT funnels all of Scarlet Devil's um units to between the fortified outpost and the TC. This is something that most players don't do. Is just guiding the rush of an opponent or the all-in of an opponent to the weakest point or to the strongest point of your base, actually. So, he's targeting all of the Spearmen with his archers like you see here. All of his units are now fully upgraded. He has Spearman 2 mixed in to deal with the Knights and he has completely destroyed the all-in or at least the push of Scarlet Devil. And right now I think this is already GG because all of all the damage Scarlet Devil did is destroyed one that I think only cost 150 resources. Yeah, that's 150 wood. And now take a look at the army lead. And because the TC production of the Golden Horde is a little bit faster than normal, he's also ahead a few villagers. Uh, and now the only thing Scarlet Devil has going for him is that he has a ton of villagers protected under his White Tower, but uh, all of these villagers are unprotected. All of his gold isn't protected. He has to go mine here. Uh, and now he's the only thing that is covering his base is his TC, which is not going to be enough. Uh, and if he wanted to garrison under his TC, all of these villagers will have to walk towards this side. So, this TC is actually not doing any damage whatsoever. Uh, now he sends one guy to raid here. He's also looking at this point. And, uh, the rest of his units can go in the middle. And now these units are extremely tanky because he has all the Castle upgrades. And that, uh, spells out the end of the game. Really, really nice play from Louis MT.

Okay, now let's go over the second game. Uh, this is still a practice game. I think Scarlet and uh Louis have practiced this matchup quite a bit and it's actually interesting to see how uh Louis deals with one of the best civilizations in the game. And once again, Scarlet Devil goes for the Barracks. Always go for the Barracks against Golden Horde because if players don't do what Louis MT does, then you are going to get a ton of value out of these uh units here. So right now, Louis got a a much better spawn than last game. He got gold in the back and Ovoo in the back as well. So now pretty much the same thing is happening that what happened in the last game. So he gets a sheep here under his Ovoo to avoid walking back. And after the Golden Tent is built, he then re-sends some uh one villager here to repair uh the Ovoo to avoid losing it. And then he just built a fortified outpost to protect it. And now the Spearman cannot do anything. And I think he actually loses one, which is really bad for Louis MT because you don't want to lose. You can get units damaged in the Dark Age and then heal them back with the Abbey of Kings. So I don't think he wanted to lose one Spearman there, but that's that's all right. It's not a big deal. And now Louis has successfully survived the Dark Age once again. Uh, this is it's kind of interesting how uh this uh civilization worked out to be. It's just a mini-game of can you survive the Dark and the Feudal Age. So this time Louis does not go for for a farm uh like he did in the last last game. He immediately goes to the deer and he already has his second Ovoo. This is an amazing spawn for Louis by the way. Both Ovoos are on the back, which is really, really nice. And now his Khan is out and he can start harassing his villagers. And now this time he sends his Khan not to kill uh Spearman that was here uh getting the the gold, but instead he is uh trying to do some damage into Scarlet Devil's uh villagers. And he is defending extremely well. You saw there how he placed his Scout in a way where he would block the Spearman, the the charge. Uh, he still gets one charge here, but uh that's pretty much all the damage he's going to get. Now that uh Horsemen are out on the field, take a look at how the Tuts are not with the Khan. The Tuts are actually here defending because if a couple of Horsemen get here and start attacking these villagers, this it's going to be really bad for Louis. So you don't need to have three Knights that deal 10 damage here harassing your opponent's villagers. You can just use some of the the units that you have. He's actually going for Spearmen too, and and and Archers uh to defend the Gold here. Uh, and this is really important in my opinion because most players, what I've seen them do is build a fortified outpost here, but fortified outposts are extremely costly. Take a look at this. 200 resources. So, it's like building two regular towers. So instead of building a fortified outpost here, he just uh rallies his Barracks. As you can see here, I'm selecting his Barracks and his Archery Range. Both of them are rallied to this point here, which is his weak spot right now. This point, I think he could also use a fortified outpost here if he wanted to, or he could just leave a few Spearmen here to defend. So really nice and optimized play uh way of of of doing this in my opinion. So right now he has the lead in army as opposed to the last game where he he was uh greatly outnumbered. He now has the lead. So it is extremely good and he is buying a lot of time for himself uh to get safely into Castle. So what I talked about before, this is pretty much like a mini-game of can you survive until the Castle Age and up to this point, he's actually doing so. We can see in the resources that Louis MT is still Louis MT, right? He's still kicking the Golden Horde's ass in resources. But right now he is also scaling his Stockyards, which are an extremely nice way to gather uh food because right now he has uh Scarlet Devil has the these sheep under his base and he has this deer and he's actually gathering, he's going to gather deer from here too with the White Tower protection. Um, and uh, but he will probably run out of food much faster than than Louis MT because of these Stockyards here. So right now Louis sensed that uh Scarlet Devil was aging up. So he goes and attacks. But the army difference is pretty much nothing. It is actually in favor of Scarlet Devil right now because Scarlet Devil's army is much stronger than what Louis has here. He has the four Lords, meaning that all of these uh melee units, including the Spearmen, the Horsemen are buffed up by 20% HP. But even then, because uh I think the army composition of the Golden Horde was much better here, uh Louis was able to protect all of his archers uh that were killing all the Spearmen. So take a look at this. Even though uh Scarlet Devil's Scarlet Devil's army is much better and and also an age up, an age more than than Louis MT's uh army because he also has Man-at-Arms and the Lords upgrade themselves automatically. Louis MT was still able to compete pretty pretty on par with that army. So really interesting to see. So right now the the thing is that these guys are actually extremely tanky. Look at this. Almost 300 HP in the in the Feudal Age. And once he ages up, he uh all again, he survived um the age up, which is taking so long. He's aging up at almost 15 minutes, which is extremely slow, but he survived. All he needs to do right now is get to the age up, uh upgrade his units just as he did last time, and he will be in a great spot because right now his Tuts are veteran already. They get upgraded immediately. He gets all of these Tuts tributes uh for free. Uh, I think it's for free. I'm not sure, but they spawn really, really quickly. And now Scarlet Devil cannot push. And he does he decides to not push uh just like the the last time because right now all of all of Louis's economy is in the back. His gold, his Stockyards. He also has a tower here. Uh, and all of his wood is right here. So all everything is protected. And he has successfully survived once again. Really, really nice play from him. And now let's see what what uh Louis decides to do. So I think at this point Scarlet Devil is on a timer. Louis MT doesn't have to go out. He uh Scarlet Devil has to do something about this because Louis's army is just going to get much better and Scarlet Devil's economy is just going to get worse because he has to play wide. He doesn't have a single farm right now. Meanwhile, Louis already has four Stockyards, five Stockyards. So that's uh that's basically like 20 farms because the each Stockyard can get four villagers inside of it. And now he now even he looks much better in economy than his opponent and his army also looks a lot stronger. So this is the game, guys. This is what Louis does. He tries to survive as best as he can until they Castle. And once that happens and all of his economy is under protection, he can do things like this. So right now it actually looks like it is a really pretty even fight. Uh, I am not sure who would end up winning this. It looks like uh Scarlet Devil comes out on top and he can layer uh this was actually a really, really nice fight for Scarlet Devil because as opposed to his opponent, he can just bring everything back to the Abbey of Kings and heal them. Look at all of these damaged units. This is this army is pretty much dead and so are most of the units and now he can just heal them back to full. So, this was actually a really nice uh fight for him and it will mean that he has uh he will have the army lead for a pretty long while. So, right now what Scarlet Devil wants to do is to prevent uh the uh the Golden Horde to get out of hand because if he doesn't win right now, he is going to be cooked. You know you're I'm pretty sure most of you have already seen how people are talking about the Golden Horde in team games and how if they reach Imperial, you are dead. That is actually true. So let's see what Louis MT does here to defend. Take a look at this. So this is extremely interesting what he does and this is what he did in the last game as well. He is luring his opponent's uh units between the tower and the TC. This is extremely important to do. I have seen so many players taking a fight here for no reason when you can just lure your opponent here between uh so many buildings that can shoot. And right now all of his units uh are buffed up with HP with the defensive power edict. He is fighting between two defensive structures and he just used the Khan Arrow, which I actually don't know what it does, but I'm sure it buffs up uh his units. And even though Scarlet Devil's uh army was almost double the size, he is defending. It doesn't look like it is going uh the way for Scarlet Devil. And right now, what uh Scarlet Devil's have already is just Man-at-Arms here. He doesn't have any Crossbowmen left. So, he doesn't have a way to deal with the uh with the Tuts and the Khans. And right now, he just lost his entire army. And I think this is GG once again because from here Louis MT can just re-macro. He already has all of these farms. Scarlet Devil has to go around around the map looking for resources. He has like a Manor here. He has a lone Manor here. This thing is pretty sad because it is not generating any resources and he doesn't have as many farms. He's building a few farms here. But this is actually sad. He's going to run out of food pretty pretty soon. So right now, look at look at Louis MT's economy. He has so many farms. His food eco is more than twice what Scarlet Devil has. So right now, he is chilling. He could go to Imperial Age right now. He is just defending. He doesn't need to even raid. He's sending one or two Knights around the map just just to be annoying. As we see here, he's uh going to the gold, going to the woodline, not much, but his main army is here defending and his objective as most of you would imagine right now is to get to Imperial Age. Scarlet Devil's opportunity to end the game has has already passed and right now Louis MT seems like he is going for for the Imperial Age. If we can see his macro here, he's actually uh gathering the resources he needs. And right now, where is his Golden Tent? It is right here. He is going to go for the stone armies pretty uh pretty soon. I think he's going for this. I would expect. So yeah, right now Scarlet Devil is on a timer once again. Let's actually slow it down right here. He tries to raid, but I mean there's nothing you can do, my man. His uh Louis MT is prepared. His main army has always been here, and he is just sending people to raid. Right now, we see that uh most of his uh Horsemen, actually his Horsemen are just raiding his economy. And now he has to Scarlet Devil has to worry about this and worry about about the age up as well. I think this is already GG. Let's actually see what happens next. So right now Scarlet Devil uh goes for a front and attack and meanwhile Louis MT is already aging up with his own armies. And it seems like Scarlet Devil because he never stopped uh investing into units, he actually won a really big fight here. He killed pretty much every Horseman Louis had here. And all he's left with is a few Spearmen, uh, a few Tuts, and, uh, a bunch of Crossbowmen, which right now are not dealing as much damage because Scarlet Devil's army is mainly composed of, uh, Horsemen and Spearmen. So, these uh, Crossbows are not dealing that much damage. But right now, what is he doing? He's doing exactly the same thing that he did in the previous two engagements uh, on the engagement on on this game and the previous game. He is leading his opponent in between uh his fortified outpost and his uh TC. So right now, even though again, Scarlet Devil has twice the army, Louis MT is still defending pretty pretty well. And look at what he's doing. He is targeting the backline with his TC and with his outpost. Well, I don't think his outpost is targeting that. But right now, some Horsemen come out and they start attacking the backline and the Crossbows are still defending. So again, take a look at the army difference and how it's switching. He lured his opponent uh to this extremely uncomfortable position to attack him. And now that most of his army is dead, uh, I think this is going to be GG. So let's just speed it up. Scarlet Devil sees the age up. And that is the surrender.

Okay, so now let's take a look at how Louis MT deals with a different civilization. This is an 18,800 ELO player uh going for Byzantines. This is no longer a practice game. The previous games against Scarlet Devil, who is also one of the top players in the world right now, by the way. He is also participating in the Sier tournament that is going on right now. This is just a ranked game that uh occurred in the ladder, I think a few weeks uh one week ago. So here he does exactly the same thing. He goes for two villagers on gold before anything else. He wants to get the gold before anything because he doesn't know uh what his his opponent is up to. Byzantines is not known for doing Barracks in the in the Dark Age, but he still does this just in case. And now he has his sheep here and he is going to gather from it to avoid walking time back. And now he goes for the Golden Tent right here. And I would say he doesn't put it here next to the to the Ovoo because he doesn't need to. He knows he's not getting rushed. If we see his vision well, he actually doesn't know anyway. But he is playing against Byzantines. So I'm I'm guessing he's pretty sure he's not getting rushed. So he doesn't need to make the tower here like he did in the previous two games that we just saw. He just goes for the Golden Tent uh here because it is closer, I believe. And then he can probably put his fortified outpost here to protect his gold instead of putting it here uh beside the Ovoo. And his opponent, he is just going for the standard thing, which is Grand Winery, a bunch of Sisters, and a lot of scaling with the with the Byzantines. And if I were him, if I were this Byzantine player, I would stay in Feudal, make a ton of units, and try to end the game before uh Louis MT uh has a chance to get to the Castle Age. That is pretty much how I would play against the Golden Horde with any civilization if you were asking me. So here he is in gold. He just aged up. He is immediately going for a Barracks and he will probably go for uh the Tuts later on and is mining a ton of wood and his opponent is already working up to Sister Level 3, still mining stonehood, so he's probably going to go for Sister Level 5 later in the game. He's actually already working up to it. Sisters in his outer berries, like like so, this will actually influence the woodline as well. And Louis is already going into Stockyard. So, pretty much uh what we saw in the first game, he goes for a Stockyard pretty early to save food and he also went for a second Ovoo. He's not going for the deer. I don't think maybe because he doesn't need to. But I am not well, I am really not sure. I think going for the deer is definitely good because he gets this this exposed resource out of the way. But instead, he's just going for Stockyard. So this just proves that you can just go for Stockyard straight away. And this thing actually gives you a ton of resources, man. But you can later uh spend the stone to upgrade them and it will give you it. I, I believe this is more optimal, a more optimal way of getting food than regular farms. I'm pretty sure of it. And this also it allows him to stay under his TC for much longer. So, it's just spamming uh Tuts that come out for well, free. Not not just for free, but they come out with just a stone that he gets passively and with and food. So, he's just spamming that. And in the back, he's also making a ton of archers. Now, he goes for for the deer. He he goes for the deer and he is all the time raiding with his cavalry. He knows what the timing is for his opponent to go into this exposed uh resource and he prevented him from going here straight away with this raid until his all of his infantry gets there to protect his villagers. And now look at this. All of the berries under his Grand Winery are gone. He has, I think, four sheep under his TC. He is, it seems, working up towards Castle, which I'm not sure is the correct play. If you go for Castle, you are also giving time uh to the Golden Horde to get to Castle themselves. And you already know what happens uh after that. And Louis has not received a single bit of damage yet. He's just using his Tuts uh that are faster and are better at raiding to make the Byzantine player's army go around the the gold and the exposed berries uh defending. So right now he splits his army in two to defend from the raids. But in the back of all of that, uh Louis is already aging up. And we see here what exactly what we saw in the previous game, which is he doesn't need his whole his whole army uh to be here. He can rally his Archery Ranges and his um Golden Tent here, which is the exposed resource that he has. And that way he doesn't need to build an a really expensive tower here. Instead, he just defends it with units, which is in my opinion the better option. Right now, Byzantine player has aged up and this is why I talked about he aged up much earlier than than his opponent. So, right now, Byzantine player uh has a nice opportunity here to upgrade everything. He is doing so right now. And he's getting Cataphracts and goes straight into Louis MT's position here. He is his base and end the game before uh the Castle Age comes. But he is so distracted by the raids, by the eight Knight raid that he is he allowed Louis to get into the Castle Age. And now all of his Tuts are Castle already. They don't need to be upgraded. They just automatically get upgraded. He's working towards his archer upgrades and his plus one ranged attack upgrade. And he will probably continue to make Tuts like this. And his economy is actually not that bad. If we compare the numbers up here, his economy is pretty on par with the Byzantine player's. But his units are, I think, much better because now look at this. These guys have plus five ranged armor, which is actually insane. So all of these Longbows are not going to deal almost any damage to to this heavy cavalry. And he can use his archers to target the Spearmen as we see here. So now it's a dance between the archers with it between the Spearmen and the Knights. He doesn't even need to pull back because look at all of the armor that these guys have. He just uses these archers. He doesn't care if he loses them to clear all the Spearmen. And then all the heavy cavalry can go into the backline of the Byzantine player. And now he's denying Byzantine player from uh from gold. He did get a Mangonel upgrade on his tower, but he's already way over here. And that I think must be GG because he's already on his woodline. All of his Longbow mercenary are dead. And this just goes to show that if you leave Golden Horde alone, this is what will happen to you. Look at all of these guys. These are these guys are receiving no damage whatsoever from the uh from these arrows, from these uh TC. It doesn't matter if he has garrison. I don't even know what he is attacking. I think he is attacking Tuts. But take a look. He's not taking any damage. He's literally not taking any damage. Neither does the Man-at-Arms that also has eight ranged armor. So, this TC is just idling. It just means that he's idling 15 15 workers. And that should be pretty much GG. And there you go, guys. This is how you play Golden Horde. How Louis MT plays Golden Horde. And I hope that was useful to everyone.
