• the first sheep are collected in a way that they are almost on top of each other making it a bit harder for the vills to collect food. Maybe you had a reason to program it that way
• When the first three sheep are almost eaten it seems one villager goes making the mill and then comes back without collecting berries. Seems like a waste of efficiency so early in the game
• Both boars/rhinos are brought in a way that one is rotting a lot since both are there at the same time. Also the scout starts to bring in deer too early in my opinion while there are still both boar/rhinos on the TC.
• Also while boar and deer are partially rotting under the TC I saw the villagers create up to 4 farms which seems excessive wood waste. I can't remember if they used the berries well

Next thing which I would love would be to have it play more civs. I still switch to standard AI most of the time simply since it plays all the Civs which offers great diversity and surprises compared to playing only one civ. I can only imagine it means a lot of work.

I agree that the Dark Age can be improved These are all good suggestions, stuff to work on in the future.
Actually, just between us Shadow does ok at other knight civs, so you can try if you want I will be looking to expand him soon

Thats great to hear that other knight civs work. I never checked but do they research wheelbarrow / hand cart at some time in the game? I think that and blood lines are the most important differences compared to Vikings.

Current version does not; this is the main reason for its being weaker with other civs

Hey guys, update for Shadow coming soon

Hey guys, update for Shadow coming soon

As a german I might say: Ich bin gespannt wie ein Flitzebogen

I'm happy to hear it

Only archers to beat skirms??

Here is a new version of Shadow! I've made a lot of changes, but I won't have time to completely finish this up, so here is the beta version, only for DE/1v1 games. I hope you enjoy it--I like watching the new and different style that Shadow goes for now Don't expect anything too much, as there are many fixes still needed, but here is a challenge to the skirm meta maybe?

Biggest changes:
- Created a full archer flush strategy and lots of archer micro
- Many improvements to Shadow's Dark Age
- Improved late game build, cutting out wasteful techs and buildings
- Many bugs fixed
- Also, Shadow can play with any non-meso civs, but Vikings will be his tournament civ for now

Cmon guys where are all the updates? We need some new stuff soon

First update to Shadow in quite a while. I have tried many improvements since 4.12 but they ended up getting too complicated, so I've disabled much of the new stuff for now, that will come later.

Changelog:
-Mostly just tweaks to Dark Age efficiency (there are some bugs still)

uploaded 4.14, this update features mainly small bugfixes, some army micro improvements, and some eco improvements
