Yesterday I was playing arabia, and my opponent was really close to me. He came a douched me (he was persian) and although I knew it was coming, I couldn't stop it. What I should have done?
Sounds like you're garrisoning your own vills and trying to fight it. Don't ever do it vs Persian tc, you'll always lose. Just buildup your economy while repairing your tc and he's down 10-12 vills already.
The only 'scary douche' was in the past was when a semi-experienced player (HurleyFreestyle for those who remember his glory days) tc rushed you and feudaled at same time with a trush. Heard some legends of Rubenstock but never seen a game of him doing it.
I will teach you the forbidden technique: just garrison your tc if you know the douche is coming. The first arrow volley is gonna oneshot his tc, he will be left with no wood no tc and 100 less stone and look dumb as hell.
TCs cost double the wood to repair vs. building one. Repairing from 1 HP to full HP (regardless of civ) costs 550w and takes the same amount of time. Correct me if I'm wrong.Do Persian TCs repair cheaper or quicker? Is that a side affect of having extra HP?
8 vills on wood doesn't come close to supporting 2 vills repairing continuously. Repairing a tc vs persians is only ok if you just want to buy a minute or two to secure another tc location or to get up to the feudal age. Otherwise if you get tc rushed by a non-persia it's typically best just to fight it with 10 vills in the tcsome other general tips:
- if you are going feudal make sure you avoid a vill war at any cost he will have more villagers then you.
- his eco is not much worse dont underestimate persia dark age economy, its a legit strat.
- imo never fight back unless you are teutons or sth, just chop wood and repair if you want to keep your tc. he will have 10 vills in that tc idling so you can afford to have 8 vills chopping wood and 2 repairing its fine. + you should have around 2 extra vills and more resources given his idle time.
- its fine to let your tc die and rebuild it just make sure you think properly about the new spot, dont let him chase you and vill fight you to death or worse get walled in and tc dropped etc. plan it properly and make sure you have the res.
- LOOM!
He was amazing in that! And in his forward m@a was amazing!Sounds like you're garrisoning your own vills and trying to fight it. Don't ever do it vs Persian tc, you'll always lose. Just buildup your economy while repairing your tc and he's down 10-12 vills already.

11 did I misspelled it ?If you really dislike douches that much, just get a bath or join one of those hippy communities that don't believe in personal hygiene
Because the people here are much better players they will tell you to scout and build palicides around or oneshot the moment he starts building it. But because I am so slow and bad compared to them I will usually miss these options . I have had to deal with Persian TC on top of mine several times.
Here is what I think/ try to do (not saying its necessary correct as my level is mediocre).
1) know that by deleting his TC he is already behind.
2) I accept he is going to bring my TC down no point of long repairs.
3)I would try to reach Feudal Age though. In most cases I should be close enough. (never)I had to deal with it early Dark age. But if he deletes the TC straight away he must be too much behind I think.
4) I try to consider my next TC place. I try to secure a woodline plus stone or gold.
5) I try to spread and balance my economy. A mill on deers or a minig camp at a further mine may bring resourses he doesnt know I am collecting.
6) Some times the doucher deletes his TC and douches second time. You should be more prepared this time so building palicides around or a vill fight are options.
7) I try to get some stone so I secure more resources and map. and to limit his options to take resources around the TC.
8) I focus on bulding some military units preferably archers. At his old base he has left some unprotected villagers. Usually berries and wood line. Possible couple of farms and or mines. Those vills are rerery protected as he has no TC to hide them and possible no or few towers either as he used stone to build a TC and may be slower than me to Feudal, too.
9) The military units may be ofc used at home to try and pick up vills trying to go out for resources.
Thats it what I do. Not necessary helpful as Im not good but may be some things to consider.
No, douche is the Dutch/French word for shower. It's a lame joke.11 did I misspelled it ?
