Then he made the right tactical choices to wait until he had infinite resources, deleted his vils and charged in with 150 paladins. His castle time was slower if I remember well, but he outboomed you anyways.

Throughout the game, there were no signs that he was worse than you. Lastly, calling your opponent a 'noob' is quite harsh, since you're not better in any way. Since you lack the speed of replenishing your units quickly, the paladins just storm through. Its not cost effective, but thats a different matter. Oh yeah, mass pikes get destroyed by mass frankish paladins. On top of that, you had like what, a 20 minute fast castle? You clearly had no clue how to push in or how to coope with guignol's walling.

I accept the defeat but still this game is not representative of my skills at all He just fooled me with these bombards, thought he'll go noob bombard strange combo + gunpowder Didn't played well at all but he still played very noobish, mass pallies will be destroyed with mass pikes. That being said, I read diagonally through your essay, and it was quite alrightish, be it basic ofcourse. I saw the highly anticipated game between you and guignol on BF, which clearly showed you might have to tone down a bit with saying 'I know how to play them', because its clearly not the case :P
