Fun with siege towers on Arena (Inca)

Just had the most fun 1v1 ranked game on Arabia playing as Incas. I am low ELO (800) with a 30% win rate

I went for a 23 vill feudal, with a focus on food and gold.

The fun begins:

Just before I hit feudal I sent 2 loomed up vills (with scout guarding nearby) to each of the enemies gates.

As soon as feudal hit, I walled them in with stone walls. I then made 1 tower right at the far corner of their wall with 1 vill. It goes up as all they have is cav. I thought this may pressure them to focus their military on this side and maybe even drop a defensive castle later (We’ll come back to that).

Meanwhile I started massing Eagle Scouts and attacking the other corner of their wall to confuse them.

Well, I think they panicked; they started creating scouts and skirms. I figure scouts destroy eagles, and skirms are a cheap range unit to keep me attacking their walls. I had to redirect my scouts to different areas of their wall, and they would follow. I had about 10 scouts at this point.

Now back to my tower; They hit castle and dropped a defensive castle on the side of their base to destroy my tower. It dies pretty quick lol. All the while I race to castle and started stone mining heavily during the transition.

As soon as castle hit, I queue up 2 siege towers. I recall my massed Eagle Scouts (now probably about 20) and filled the towers with them + 1 vill. I sent them over the walls to attack their vills, and tried to drop a castle in their base (lol), but my army got shredded by their cavalry. I think I maybe killed 4 vills and a few skirms.

So that failed. Bad.

So I switch to a mixture of pikemen to deal with cav, + scouts to raid, + 2 mangonels to pressure from the other side of the wall.

I ready my anus for the second wave, and set my siege towers on their wall, (I wasn’t aware till just now that they can stay their as a ladder for your units!) with my mangonel protecting nearby.

It begins.

I start flooding them with upgraded pikemen to attack cavalry, and eagles to destroy their vills and skirms. Their cav starts dropping like flies.

Their castle was too far away to do shit!

Finally, for the cherry on top, I send a flood of vills (10+) that were mining stone and drop a castle within their walls, protected by my cav and scout meat shield, just out of range of their TC.

The castle goes up, my eagles start destroying their woodline, their town bell rings.

They call the GG

Beautiful. I love being a noob.

Anyone have any siege tower stories to share?
