Reached 1200 and I'm proud of myself
I reached 1200 ELO after years of quite casual yet focused playing and I'm happy to share it !

For last 2 years I wasn't playing on regular basis , though in general spent 1300 hours on Aoe2. I was staying around 1100, with occasional drops/up +/- 50 ELO.
Last few games I decided to play with Vietnamese as stats has shown that I have 100% win rate (although played with them only 4 times lol ) . Decided to try maa rush plus double range archers and apply a lot of pressure , build siege, stay 1 TC intitially. Kind of loved them for seeing enemy TC plus how you overflow with wood (thanks to eco bonuses not requiring it). Great for archer push.
Interestingly it's hard to say what's better since I was around 1000 ELO . Probably less mistakes , remembering about eco bonuses and more focus on economy and boom, less idle TC.
Cheers and GLHF !
