Why do you think 5 is too much? Pikeman have 5 speed and that allow them to chase cav with defensive purposes.

:hmm: Do any of the ironic players use these units in the game? that's not the question, it's rather "the unit would be broken or not?" That's the idea of the post. To talk about that. To gather opinions of players to know if most of us believe these units need a rework or not. And then p...

Personally I think it's better for Grenadiers to remain niche units unless you want Grens deciding army compositions 100% of the time. As for Halberdiers, they have their uses in "Defend the cannons" strategies, literally blocking the enemy cavalry from hitting them. Thanks for your take....

Hi guys, I was waiting for the DE of Aoe3 with two main expectations: 1. a functional quick match 2. a rebalance of the forgotten units to be playable. The first point is a work in progress, but it's there. The second point is not. HALBEDIERS and GRENADIERS are still units with no purpose or are not...

I saw a few H2o vs Iain world and... well... was not a very impressive russia play.

I'm not a believer in the all-in rush as russia. And i wold add that it's not fun to play the same way over and over.

Wow, very helpful comments, guys. Thank you all for this statements! Seems clear now that 700F > SPICE TRADE, unless you're trying a long term plan that is not the best idea for Russia. I'm gonna try some games with an agressive strategy sending 700f as a first colonial card, when I used to send Sp...

Thanks! Downloading... :)

Btw, any recs of Russian's gods recommended?

Ronsu send me recs of Russian players starting Spice Trade rather than 5 coss or 13 strel As GoodSpeed wrote in his guide, going all-in rush with russia is not a very good idea at decent levels. So a lot of players are sending eco cards (upgrade gathering or resources crates) as a first colonial sh...

Why on earth wouldn't you send 5 cossacks first? 5 coss are very good. But sometimes you want to secure a following military mass beyond the cav shipment and the first units. And then you realize that you have no food enough to keep in queu infantry + new vills at the same time. I think that this i...

I have it in deck, imo its a "ok" card with russia, just not very early. maybe as a 5th card in a long colonial fight is good, just to get a couple final batches and timming push with it after unit shipments are gone. (When you have 2blocauses + possibly a stable, 700f acts pretty much as...

Gathering from hunts far out on the map shouldn't be a problem for the Russians because of blockhouses, I think. What do you mean 700f has no immediate impact? I guess for massing units it would be better to send 700 wood or coin or even 600 wood or coin and just switch most of your vills to food. ...

I had been sending Spice Trade for a while. The reason is that russian economy is not good at early colonial and I thought this was a good solution for a high-food consuming civ as the ruskies. But i'm starting to think if "700 food" would be more useful as a colonial shipment. PROS: - Fas...

Cool! I'm searching Jui's russian recs and i'm only finding this ones you @fei123456 uploaded: viewtopic.php?f=20&t=9531&p=207973&hilit=jui#p207973

But i cann't find russian recs of him :(

This card doesnt work with market upgrades. Thus, after steel trap and spice trade, you will have 150% hunting speed, not 156%. So it is actually worse. 700f is much better. Russia train units in batches so you need more food to launch training, and 700f doesnt rely on map resources. 3500×120%=4200...

Interesting! But I'm guessing that, still, the best option is to run Windows with Bootcamp. Isn't it?

@momuuu
I just simply UPDATED the patch from 2.0.0.6 to 2.0.0.7 and then it crashes. I play AOE3 with 3 more friends... and they ALL have the same issue. How can we be the only ones having this problem?

I guessed a link... and it worked :)

download/file.php?patch=2.0.0.6

Hi!

I have problems with the 2.0.0.7 patch. The previous one worked fine for me. I want to install again the 2.0.0.6 but I can't find a way to download other versions than the latest. Can anybody help me with a link?

Thanks!!
