Hi,
i´m fairly new to the competitive scene(playing on voobly since ~40 days) but trying rly hard to earn my stripes here. Present goal is to get 16+ *rofl*, now i´m ~1550, but imo my sample size isn´t large enough to determine a correct rating, played ´bout ~45 rated games (tg&1v1)

The rec attached is a 3v3, that i played recently on 3.0.(the first 1 or 2 min are maybe a bit chaotic, completely forgot bout fish at the begining*) , i woke up 5 min before the game... so i beg for forgiveness haha)I think that we could have won that "relativly" easily, but i´m not entire sure what I(we)must have done differently. Of course there are a lot of minor mistakes made by me cause of my not existing late game experience. Just to remind you, for <1600 90% of the games are decided by eco(macro) very early in the game, this one was not.(At least acoording to my observations)

I think that i´m now getting to the point , where i have to push my tactical/fighting capabilities, rather than my eco which is imo good enough at my stage. (is it??^^)

I would appreciate it if you share your thoughts with me:

*-when/under which circumstances do you
get hd on tundra pools?

-What went good?

-What was a totally no-go?

-where i should have pushed more or less?
there was so much going on the whole game i was completley lost with all the decision making, i couldnt priortize my targets good enough so i lost a lot of units in unnessecary fights, which i was afraid to abandoned cause they "might" break through... so where were the vital points where i should ´ve pushed more or not?

Till now i take nearly every game ptah-hathor-osiris, just cause i´m familiarized with the path and i think that it´s definitly the most viable in almost all situations, cause sphinx/eclipse-citadel/scarabs seem to me a bit risky and very hard to pull of compared to ss, shaduf and locust/roc-raiding/gucci-bag (+merc, building upgrade) ......
-any objections?

(I definitly will try all the path variations one time, but now i´m eager to push one style of play to perfection before troubling with the major god as a whole.)

I hope that the rec will work, if not tell me, i will visit the thread frequently.
AND
Thanks to the Community for keeping this game alive in all these times! It´s a blast to watch all your streams/guides/posts/etc!

I doubte if someone can answer your quiestions tbh. Maybe only kimo but hes inactive. Anyway if you see you have upper hand on your opponent you can allways just go myth torbado and push his firward tc with some units cover and soeme sieges

@mor:

i already feared that my questions are a lil´bit too specific, however questions do not hurt(answers do lol) so i thought i can at least try it :D

after i saw the rec a second time with your idea in mind, i see that tornado would have´ve been rly helpful haha, therefore i will be bothering me with horus in the near future(these strong spearmen buffs seem worth it too^^)

thank you very much for your advice!

@Seattle

yeah but i´ve boomed relativly good that game, sadly the enemy ra player boomed pretty good too(we were both pocket players), so the fight was decided pretty much through raiding/pushing/defending on the right spots, which was for me a little bit like a new world cause i´ve never played pvp till a titan died or a wonder has finished

Nevertheless, thank you for your insight!

Welcome! Some of the best ways to improve is doing just what you are doing, rewatching your gameplay and see what you could have done differently. Grind out games as there is a lot to learn and most of it takes time to get it down pat. While some of the guides might be old, a lot can still be taken from them and learned from.

If you are having a hard time with a certain match up, look up replays from Experts and see how they play those match ups. A good general strategy for Ra is to turtle. Make early walls to protect your gold and towers. Use rain to get heroic and then push out for migdol for your second gold.

after experimenting a bit with horus(~150 rated games so far :chinese: ), i´m able to detect situations in which tornado could change the game and that got my first goal -> ~1600 skill yippieh :D haha

you have definitly helped me a lot! :thumbsup:

next idea that comes in my mind are scarab rushes, actually i was owned by one recently(medit, oponent also ra...obvious i guess :rolleyes: ), rec file bugs though

any guides, bo, or recs you could recommend or if even some new original thoughts about 3.0 scarab-ra?(any help would serve, i´ve tried it once pvp, totally screwed it, also against bots it´s no good for me :down: ) :puppy:

nice to hear.

http://www.rts-sanctuary.com/The-Titans/fv...3&#entry1552630

this rec i found. its unpatch its ok bo for low hunt scarbs rush.

for hight hunt you can try search or just create one its no too hard. just need 2 preety early monuments and bunch of food+decent heroic time and just spam scarb and army.

ofc you not gonna win by scarbs rush only you will ahve to boom abit after, or try go for gold block. but it should put you in the upper hand .
