How do I stop mass Mangudai spam?

[SvarogX]

So far, there was no chance to stop this, no matter what units I used.

They spam like 50 or more Mangudai and keep shooting my units down, as soon as I try to close in, I die, as soon as I use archers, I die.

Now besides this tactic being a complete beta-cu** kind of tactic, I wonder how to counter this nonsense?

Mangudai can Ruin the game.
Run back and forth through everyone’s base killing vils and harassing who wants to babysit that while the real battles are going on.
Ya ya , towers, archers, walls , etc to counter but still…very annoying.
You learn to cope though.
A good mangudai player can F you up.

But if it eats up my units before I even get to their base or are needed to defend my own infrastructure and economy, then its a little hard to balance that out and attack their towns. Especially in a 4v4 when they sit somewhere in the back.

It sucks.

I don’t mind them to much offensively, just don’t chase them.
When they run through your base like a lil ♥♥♥♥♥ drives me crazy.

Im very good with mongols and mangudais only thing can stop me is outposts and wooden walls build wooden walls around your villagers with upgraded outposts and keeps you need also mongol teammate who can stop them with mangudais or push mongol enemy and harras him

Horsemen if you wish to chase, or archers protecting an area they may raid. Horsemen have higher speed and can catch up and kill magudai and archers out range their attack range. Just make sure you have arrow armor with them. For defense, walls stop them since they barely do damage to structures.

horsemen, outposts, proper walling, longbow mass, jav mass, horsemen are the only ones who can really chase though.

[woodsmanac]

Horseman chase really only kinda works in smaller numbers.

I have had this question also. But it seems like the colleagues are saying, walls + outpost, Archers can do the job just stand still and don't chase them

I did that, did not work. They will just continue roaming, killing my farmers and they easily break through walls as they are next to useless.

Its a pain in the a... and it requires way too much attention.

Have garrison space in the form of tcs towers and keeps, use palisades in layers around base, defend with archers and horsemen (only if you can corner them)

Oh and don't let them boom to 50 mangudai kekw
