How to beat
House of Lancasteras Rus
Matchup tips
When you're up against an aggressive or potentially aggressive civilization like the House of Lancaster, Kremlin into 2TC is just much easier to execute.
With Boyar's Fortitude, mass horsemen is the primo answer for Rus against House of Lancaster's Hobalars.
Kremlin completely invalidates House of Lancaster's all-in feudal age play; that just does not work against the Kremlin.
Your tower doesn't really cover the wood line when the harassment starts coming, especially when you're up against the Yeoman. So, if you're on your wood line against Yeoman, you need that tower to be as far out as possible.
Once you get a couple of Lords of Lancaster on the field, they're just tanky enough. They're hard to deal with. Knights could counter, but you've got to make sure you clear the spears out that are going to accompany them.
Hobbler is one of those units with the extra ranged armor, so potent especially against horse archers.
A mannor takes roughly 3 minutes to pay off for itself. However, Rus already have a great economy baseline, so it's not an immediate advantage.
With the Hill Trading upgrade, Hobelars come out insanely fast from stables and their charge does absurd damage, even against Horse Archers, pretty much one-shotting them.
The Rus player would not be able to do much damage to Hobelars because they take quite a few shots before going down from ranged attacks; they're such a difficult unit to kill.
