Matchup advice7 TIPS

Going full on into Keshiks is not a recipe for success against French knights.

Season 11·EGC·▶LaSh vs. Scatterbrained - $20,…

In a perfect world you'd want about four Knights out by the seven-minute mark; School of Cavalry produces Royal Knights in about 28 seconds, but Mongols with an Ovoo can double produce Keshik to get an even quicker military lead.

Season 9·EGC·▶Beasty vs. DeMu - $20,500 EGC …

Keshik pound-for-pound can't match Royal Knights, so Mongols need Spearmen to handle the Knights.

Season 9·EGC·▶Beasty vs. DeMu - $20,500 EGC …

The best way to use Keshik against French is to raid buildings rather than fight Knights head-on.

Season 9·EGC·▶Beasty vs. DeMu - $20,500 EGC …

Feudal Keshik against Feudal Royal Knight is terrible, but Castle Age Keshik against Feudal Knight is somewhat comparable.
