Christian interviewed our arch-enemy, a nice American player named SweetLou11, who has terrorized us several times in ladder games with his relentless tower rushes. He exploits the civilization bonuses of the Poles to launch a very aggressive and early attack on his opponent, which completely ties them down. Meanwhile, his teammate plays as the Saracens and does Saracen things. The two seem unstoppable with this strategy, so we brought him in front of the microphone and got an insight into the psychology of tower rushing as well as the strengths and weaknesses of his strategy. SweetLou11 explains in impressive detail how to behave when you are being tower rushed and what role concentration and decisiveness play in this. He also tells us about his passion for the game and how his preference for unusual strategies came about.
The interview was conducted in English. A German summary of the interview is included in our AoE Magazine No. 05.
