(naughty tactics)How to use trash talk to fool and catch your opponent off guard.

I'm from the trench (900-1200) elo. Basically I got tired of the low elo post imperial spam wars. I got so freaking tired of it. Throwing waves after wave of trash units with no end in sight.

So when I get maps like arena or hideout I take Cumans.

When the game starts I write " Watch how I outboom your nub a$$". This makes him think I'm not gonna rush at all and they end up trying to fast castle as soon as possible to compete with my 2 tc feudal boom. and then just when they hit castle age. Bam! 3 Rams+10 archers+13 man at arms knocking on their door. Usually they resign after hastily trying to make stables for a knight and failing after I destroy their TC.

The only time it has failed me is when I faced a persian player. I followed the same routine and he sarcastically replied "I'm gonna scout rush" in an arena game.

As persians he reached castle age way quicker than others and Just when I was marching my army foward with vills to construct siege workshop he scouted it and mass built 3 stables. By the time I broke through he had 6 knights who massacred my army. my spearman stood no chance.

Anyway I just wanted to share the low elo thrill I have been getting out of this tactic. Have a good day :D.
