Castle enclosure. Milan got the upper hand on Sandy once again. Milan extended his tower once again. Sandy said he didnt have a chance. There was no peace time. Only rule was you couldnt make troops till castle enclosure was finished. Milan finished his first. Sandy made troops to defend before his castle was finished. Sandy over whelmed by Milan tried to escpae to swix's keep but Sandy forgot that he couldn't open the gate and when he tried to ask swix to open the gate, it was too late and Milan killed Sandy's Lord. At this point, it was 2v1. Trooper and Milan had too many knights and Swix could not defend. Swix surrended.
castle enclosure rules. Swix and Milan vs. Sandy and Trooper. Milan extended his walls and took Sandy by surprise. Sandy didn't think it was allowed but Since the castles are extended, I think it was fine. Sandy built a tower with stairs and Milan took control of his tower. Swix had trooper pinned down with shielded archers on Troopers iron hill and used catapults to pull down a section of wall. While swix wasn't paying attention to his Lord on his keep, Sandy rushed Swix keep with tunnellers, killing Swix's lord. Milan sent tunnelers to Troopers lord and killed his lord. Then Milan tracked down Sandy's lord with tunnelers and killed Sandy's lord. Game Over.
Milan played phenomenally and built an incredibly strong economy. Early on, Stanas and ZeroAPM rushed the middle keep with shields, with Zero winning the initial skirmish. While Milan invested heavily in bakeries, Zero and Stanas focused more on an apple-based economy.
As the match went on, Milan’s economy became overwhelming, allowing him to maintain constant pressure on both opponents. Stanas and ZeroAPM never really formed the temporary alliance they needed to weaken him. Instead, they spent too much time fighting each other, which ultimately cost them. Neither player could keep up with Milan’s continuous sieges and attacks, and Milan deservedly took the win.
Milan controlled this match from start to finish. Trooper and Northern didn’t have much to show overall, and neither of them was able to put serious pressure on him. Milan, being a very experienced Crusader player, clearly had his strategy prepared. He took the middle King of the Hill keep early and held it comfortably for most of the game. Northern did attempt a small push with shields and archers, and Trooper also made a small attempt, but neither attack was nearly enough to break Milan’s hold. With very little successful retaliation from the others, Milan maintained control and closed the game out fairly quickly.
Great tournament game between Milan, Ahmed, and aemwu. Milan opened with a very fast economy, going from apples quickly into bakeries, while Ahmed followed a similar route and aemwu went for very early military production after mostly starting with apple farms.
Even though Milan looked strongest economically early on, aemwu was first to secure the middle keep and held it for a large portion of the game. Milan and Ahmed eventually built up enough troops, siege, crossbows, and archers from the towers to push him off, with Ahmed then taking control and holding the King of the Hill keep for long stretches.
Milan had a few moments where he took the middle, but he could not maintain it long enough, likely because he was completely new to the map. Near the end, Ahmed and aemwu were both around 8,000 points remaining, but after Ahmed lagged out again, Milan continued and seemed to be building late-game momentum before the timer ran out and aemwu secured the win.
