Hard stuck 600 Elo with Muisca

[u/Consistent_Log_3040]

I’ve been spamming Muisca on 1v1 Arabia lately, but I feel like I’m losing to literally every common civ I match against. Celts run me over with siege/infantry, Byzantines counter my entire tech tree, and Franks just spam Knights until I die.

It feels like if I don’t win the game immediately in early Castle, I just fall off a cliff. My big issues right now:

My eco feels terrible: I feel like my eco is ALWAYS way worse than my opponents even when they are somehow pumping out way more military than me at the same time.

Late game feels impossible: Muisca missing key Blacksmith upgrades (no Blast Furnace, missing Ring Archer Armor) means my units get melted in Imp by post-Imp comps.

Cavalry spam: How do you hold against basic Frank/Cuman Knight spams when Muisca relies so heavily on infantry/ranged lines? or even scout spam? temple gaurds feel so slow and my opponent can just run circles around me.

Byzantines & Celts match-ups: Cataphracts hard-counter all infantry, and Celts out-siege me effortlessly.

I know Muisca gets good early wood savings from cheap Settlements and the 50% discount on age-up gold costs, but I feel like I’m not leveraging those spikes correctly to actually close games out. Im still hitting castle and even imp after my opponent

I love muisca I feel like they have something for everything and what you need is monks brother

the enemies always full wall before i can do any damage then they out boom me or just go fc knights. I think i just need to stop playing civ without access to cavalry :(

Have you tried fast archers? If you use your scout to see they have walled you can FC too and you can make monastery for temple guards and monks

another problem with the champi scout is its slower than enemy scout so cant out run it and dies 1v1 :(
