CHINESE LANDMARK SNIPE IS TOTAL BS

[Valhalla]

I had my opponent completely obliterated and was in the process of stone walling anyway but it was to late i used the Berkshire as an offensive/defensive point he sent an entire light cavalry army and destroyed all my landmarks and there was nothing i could do.

why should i be punished because i frantically but unfortunately couldn't find his last landmark in time when i had him completely beaten then he started with the trolling.

Its a dirty cheap trick and definitely does not have a place in ranked games.

Please Devs balance this blunder of a mechanic....!!!

If he still had a large army, he was not "obliterated". It sounds like you were just outplayed

[Valhalla]

WRONG he had built a proxy base will his main base was being trebbed and destroyed he just didn't care to stop me he would rather have used an exploit to win and he did

[Valhalla]

how come no other civ does this? its always the chinese civ that does this crap its a pure exploit and should be patched

[Valhalla]

just had another game against mongals he built a proxey base in the top right corner in dark age and made about 100 scout rushed my landmarks and destroyed them this is a joke i was already ramming his tc but still he beats me to destroy it totally broken

[Lepidus Stupidius]

Do you not defend your base? This isn't an exploit, this might qualify as cheese, but to counter you just need to scout. Also, they need siege equipment for cav to make it through stone walls. Don't get stuck in a base race.

any chance those were fire lancers? they are known for melting any building in seconds.
and as said before, when your enemy was able to make a 100 unit army he was not "obliterated".

i smell copium.

No you just read it wrong they were two seperate matches the chinese used fire lancers in a proxy base obviously he had banked resources but the his eco was completely obliterated and i was having trouble getting to the last landmark.

The other game i mentioned was 100 ish scout rush in dark age mongals i was ramming his tc it was almost destroyed and victory but he had proxy bases and ran his scouts over to me and managed to destroy two landmarks in the time it took me to ram his TC with two rams and MAA with longbows. tell me that isnt broken.

Sounds like you are just salty. You know what he did....you figured it out....then adapt. You obviously like this game and play it often. Adapt and overcome. invent water arrows and shoot arrows at his fire lancers. built a mote around your base. Build your own proxy bases and figure it out. The only thing broken is your ego. Pick yourself up...throw some dirt on it and get dangerous. Unconventional warfare. You know the chinese will do that sort of tactic....then counter it. If you run out of time looking for his landmarks...then move faster. Find more efficient ways to build and train ....Use your knowledge of the game against your opponent rather than letting your opponent get the better of your emotions. Go young grasshopper....it is a good day to live free and die hard!

I think it works with the Chinese because there is one landmark (or building) that tax colletors can drop off gold. If there proxy base has this and all the drop-off sites and military buildings etc, then I think they have the advantage.

I have found that map control is the best response to the Chinese. Then they might have to go for the wonder win.
