Yes. You're right, I think I didn't explain my point: for some reason I have the prejudice that once you've got to know THE path to victory, you will never lose again and hence, if you improve enough in the game, it would stop being challenging and funny. Since I hadn't seen any playthrough that ended in a defeat, I kinda reaffirmed that prejudice so being able to watch an experienced player losing would show me that I can improve in the game and the challenge would be still thereLain lost some, AbsoluteZero lost several. I'm not sure why you think you would learn more from those games though. In order to learn from losses, you'd need to understand exactly what the mistake was. And those would be the mistakes made by deity players, so they are complicated mistakes.
Reading between the lines, I think you now understand how wrong your thinking was. There is no THE path to victory, unless you are trying to always generate the same conditions (same leader, same map script, strong start etc) and even then there are details that make every game at least a bit different.Yes.

I've always had in mind that tere existed A path to victory, or at least one that would work 9/10 times. I've been watching a lot of Henrik videos and I love how he plays. He's a master in the game. But I find that he's always thinking of getting to cannons or cuirassiers and destroy the AIs as if doing that was THE way of winning.THE path to victory
Ooops, yes you're right.Btw you mean "fun", not "funny".

I am pretty sure his way works 9/10 times if done properly...I've been watching a lot of Henrik videos ... he's always thinking of getting to cannons or cuirassiers and destroy the AIs as if doing that was THE way of winning.
