Your minion played valiently, Gui. Solid start spots, good initial expansion. Bit of an overcommitment with the armites in central america on turn 5, but overall, solid play.

yeah. adjusting in game to find the right mix of strategies for each situation seems to be the hardest thing to learn.

your minion took me down in the first one the second one i have a huge chance of winnning

however i will play your minion next time ancient china 1v1

and korea 1v1

I could help in these people trainning.
just invite me to any game

people who want to learn are not anyone's minions. you insult them by saying that and they don't deserve it. if your problem is their mentor you should point your arrows at him instead.

Something for Rosston to consider when picking (even while expanding too) is not just where he would like to start, but also where he thinks his opponent might want to start. If you know that, you can take a pick that will ruin his plans, or at least gain knowledge of where one, or two, of his starts is. Then, you can expand accordingly.

I'm not sure why he attacks neutrals with so many armies sometimes.

Aside from this, he's not doing bad. The rest is all about military strategy, which is hard to learn and takes experience. Just consider your opponent as much as you consider yourself. ^_^

quack

I wasn't using the term "minion" as anything derogative to Gui or his students. I was using it as a synonym for "student" or "learner."

I was thinking like an LOL minion.. someone the hero's let die for their own benefit.. ;)

Samurai Quack ... Samurai Jack...? Something is fishy here... please don't eat it, Mr. Quack.

maybe my next name can be 'The Minion'

Good game with Ema. I was a bit worried on turn 8, well played.

yeah. some of these guys (eg, jinxed, rosston, maybe gratitude in 3v3 europe) are making significant progress.

my predictions about the 1v1 ladder:

- militarymaniac will be in the top 20 in 2-3 months, top 10 in 3-4 months
- ema will be in the top 30 in 2-3 months, top 15 in 3-5 months
- XXX (an incognito player) will be in the top 10 in 2-3 months, #1 eventually
- mek blaze will be #1 eventually

...crusader jacob seems like a strong 1v1 player too

im interested
