Ok, so I didn't take this very seriously. It came from a player who already lost his teammate and was seconds away from losing himself. But in a 2v2 at the end of the game I had a small army of halbs + skirms protecting my base while I sent large number of ruyters (think 2-3 groups of 50) to back up my allies army. And so we are just finishing what I thought was a gg when the Ottoman called me a ruyter newb.
I just don't get it. I mean it's not like ruyters are bad units, especially carabineers with all the arsenal upgrades. And they tore apart his 6 Great Bombards quite readily. So I'm guessing he was just mad. Has anyone else been called a ruyter newb for massing large (large large large) numbers of them?
On a semi-side note I do love to spam ruyters. So far my max was 1786 ruyters in one game. 2v3 against me and my teammate and I was making ruyters fsater than 2 of the other players could kill them lol. Even when the german made almost solely dopplesodners he still couldn't kill them fast enough.
