FULL SCOUTS and IMP was created by Brandonriordan2007
Hey Jupe, just wanted to let you know that I thoroughly enjoyed your full scouts lesson! At my highest ELO I am 1050, and I have been in a slump as of late. When I first started playing I learned mostly the HOANG strat and other all in strats and I believe it has stunted my growth as far as standard play is concerned. I've been trying to play standard lately but am completely lost when it comes to how to play out the imperial age! Often times I have the score lead the entire game and manage to throw it in IMP. The Full scout build has helped me maintain pressure throughout feudal and although my castle times have been behind my opponents, I have been able to do enough damage and keep enough map control (in feudal) so that it doesn't really matter that I'm up a little later. I never imagined how strong full scouts could be!
Do you have any advice for IMP? I know it always "depends" but if you have any advice on IMP for me and how I can be more effective I would greatly appreciate it! Thank you for running this page and kicking ass! I wish you had more videos out there, but every now and then Ill find an archived match from T90 or something. Do you stream?
Thanks Jupe!

Hey Brandonriordan2007
Firstly thanks for the kind words, im happy the videos have helped you so far. I will try and continue working on the videos and the site in general to hopefully make it even better.
Castle age is crucial in setting up your imperial age, make sure you get at the very least 3 town centers, preferably 4 pumping villagers eventually and don't think about going to imperial with too few villagers(so when you see yourself at 50ish villagers and near imperial resources, get those town centers pumping aswell as your military buildings and try to spend to resources rather than going to imperial!). That way you will setup your imperial age better when you have good economy, so you won't get to imp and realize that you can't affort to upgrade your units properly; in those cases its better to stay in castle, make army, try to push and get map control.
When it comes to play in imperial age there are few important things to remember; Protect your own economy with castles, that way small raidings will be less likely to hurt your economy. Send villagers to sides to build stables, and use them to raid your opponent. This way you should also naturally get the map control, and find and control the extra gold and stone piles.
Let me know if you have any follow-up questions,
Jupe
