I was about to write 'just deny them a castle' but on Arena that's a tall order. Skirms just to make sure Mangudai numbers don't increase. You can use them sparsely to pick off his numbers with skirms and just break walls.Įdit: Heavy Cavalry/Unique Unit depending on civ as meat of your army. Only rams last for slightly longer to Mangudai arrows. Once Mongol player gets to imp and has 30 Mangudai and some Seige, it's pretty much impossible to stop 1v1.Īlso seige is a bad idea. As soon as you kill his Castle, go destroy his base with your pocket no matter what. Skirms counter Mangudai nicely in Castle Age. So tech switch into scout line will never be viable. Mongol eco is trash in early Castle Age due to them making use of hunt bonus food for early up, they are always short on food. Starting to mass skirms pre aggression (like when you see his Castle) behind your TC is the way to go. And drop a counter Castle to make your way to Imp. So try to scout and see if enemy is on stone, if so do that yourself. If he drops it in his base, it's easier to defend.) The counter is bit different for Arena and Arabia.Īlmost always on Arena, Mongols go for 24/25+2 Castle Drop (usually in your face.

I have been only playing Mongols, so have faced some tough opponents now and then.
