But let\u2019s turn the tables and become the shark ourselves! To do that, practice your build order just a little more, and then you\u2019ll be ready to dive into your first ladder game. More seriously, when you feel ready to have more fun playing against real opponents, it\u2019s time to queue for that first ladder match. Here are some tips to help you adopt the right mindset for ladder play:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Elo is just a number.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> It helps match you with opponents of a similar skill level, so don\u2019t get discouraged if you lose points.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>We all started somewhere.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> I lost my first 20 ranked games, but I improved with time. If I can do it, you can too!<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Every game is a challenge, and every opponent is a potential friend to beat.<\/b><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>AOE isn\u2019t your job, so don\u2019t get frustrated.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Video games are meant to be fun, and having fun will ultimately help you improve.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Pick your civilization wisely.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Start by choosing \u201cmagyars\u201d and then you will experiment with different civilizations later, even if the pros play &#8220;random civs&#8221; you shouldn&#8217;t copy them.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once you\u2019ve played your first ladder game, I recommend sticking with the <\/span><b>Magyars<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for a while. When you feel ready, try using the same strategy with other civilizations that are similar in playstyle. Here are some good options: <\/span><b>Franks, Spanish, Malians, Berbers, Lithuanians.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Adapting to a new civ after mastering the scout rush will enhance your game understanding and keep things interesting.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n<\/div>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\n<style>\n#section_332329224 {\n  padding-top: 60px;\n  padding-bottom: 60px;\n  min-height: 300px;\n  background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/section>\n\t\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"page-transparent-header.php","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-548","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/webgurudesign.com\/sitaux\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/548"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/webgurudesign.com\/sitaux\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/webgurudesign.com\/sitaux\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/webgurudesign.com\/sitaux\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/webgurudesign.com\/sitaux\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=548"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/webgurudesign.com\/sitaux\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/548\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":734,"href":"https:\/\/webgurudesign.com\/sitaux\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/548\/revisions\/734"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/webgurudesign.com\/sitaux\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=548"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
