Booming on Arena was created by NeonHighway
Hi Jupe,
I was looking at Vinchester's video on booming in Arena. Taking the example civ into account, say I am playing with Magyars and I pickuo all the relics and trying to boom. but get pressured by opponents with a lot of xbows siege and a forward castle. How do I deal with that. And can you tell me benchmarks to look for while booming on Arena. Like goals of say how many vills I should make before going imp and switching to army. Or a benchmark time till which I should be booming before I make army?

Hey NeonHighway.
That's an interesting question. Arena is tricky map when it comes to judging the eco you need to go to imp with and it heavily depends on the situation as well.
Situation you describe you have two different options. 1st would be to play it full castle age with knights + rams. Clean his castle and then push forward. Make sure you mass enough army and rams before trying to push (atleast 5-6 rams and 15 kts with +2 armor). 2nd option would be if you were close to having stone for castle, and already banking some resources. You place castle defensively and idle your town centers to go to imperial age, then transition to the right army (cavalier/Skirm/Halb) then treb his castle down. Perhaps you also want to mine stone for 2nd castle while going to imperial.
The thing with the strategy you described opponent doing is that, He can either play it into FI, Full/Semi full castle or just boom + medium pressure. Against FI 1st strat would work better(Full castle), however it could lead you hanging against Full castle age, especially if you predict FI and mass rams, however i would still see 1st strategy more well rounded.
Let me know if you have any follow up questions,
Jupe
