8:12:06usually you prioritize food and gold
8:12:14don't let them intimidate you
8:12:36Monks can have an upgrade that makes them faster.
8:13:01French don't get camels. Just pikes and monks.
8:13:38what about alpaca mounted archers?
8:13:40Is here a specific foil or defense for elephants in this game?

8:13:56go 6 scouts in feudal age and hit woodline early.
8:13:59nimi may go elephants, she likes those
8:14:26It’s funnier hearing you say it wrong :face_with_tears_of_joy:
8:14:42They're more of a specialized archer.
8:14:50Slav would be good as they have decent knights and good farming boinus
8:15:05hand cannoneers are anti infantry
8:15:06try the huns now....they have fewer unit lines BUT max housing by default is VERY strong
8:15:09it's gonna be so funny when nimi doesn't go with elephants at all
8:15:13i'd be more concerned with how cute nimi is than anything. don't let her distract you
8:15:18they behave different from the franks
8:15:50i always say, you go with the civ that peeks your interest, and then get comfortable with them
8:16:08The best thing you can do is know if/when she's actually making the elephants. It's faster to mass a counter than to produce an elephant mass.
8:16:28my memory is that the Persians have a good economy, but are weak with infantry
8:16:35yes elephants take time to get running
8:16:36honestly , wth huns u can mass cavalry early
8:16:43a scout rush? yes it can work, some players panic to early rush
8:16:51im mostly excited for the troll tactics. but if she actually won a tournament im afraid you'll be the one getting trolled
8:16:54build a tower near her resources and wall it off
8:16:58Byz is kinda the late game civ
