The only thing that's never really made sense to me is that India gets a Musketeer, Lancer, Skirmisher and Dragoon unit in age II.
Other than that I think the TAD civs are pretty balanced.

I think mitoe was talking about at what point you gather as much ressources, which is later. The 90s make me lazy to compute how much later though. Arround 9mins with a quick approximation (so at 11min gametime if you ship it at 2min). Considering everything you could have invested the extra ress o...

Just watched the 2v2 tourney and saw someone send this card first as Russia.

How much longer does it take to pay off than sending the wood trickle?
Eco Theory gets better as the game goes on so is it better to send than Distributivism in team games?

Can someone please write up the BO for mantlet timing please? I need to win some more games.

On the other hand, which would be the best civ to choose when you get a handicap?

French? Seems like their early eco would be incredible

Is it just gather rate of vills? Or is it everything (unit stats, age up discounts, shipments?)

Just gather rate, but it also counts for crates, so with 100% handicap 700w becomes 1400w.

Sounds good, I will be your guinea pig if you want to test some games out.

Wow, Amazing!

Where did the funding come from?

Vive le Québec libre!

Amazing, I am excited to watch this... seems like there is always something to complain about.

Is this tournament fully funded?

Hahaha
Nice job Tabben!

Made the drive to work go by quickly, thanks for posting! IMO a RE LAN tournament would be a bad idea, I think this may be the best time to advertise the EP to people that do not play/know about the patch. Gaining old AOE3 players attention should be the main focus here, a new patch can bring excite...

Uses your local time settings set in your board preferences

Great addition! Thanks a lot

I think the best way to learn a civ is to watch some first person streams.
You may never be as fast as these guys but it at least gives you an insight into a better play style.

Does Kynesie get sent to the consolation finals?
Assuming he wants it.

Cool, thanks CometK

GGs, grats to Kaiser but was hoping Mitoe was going to bring the cup home to Canada.


Was looking forward to watching this one live, is there a stream schedule somewhere so i can plan in the future?

The solution I had always thought of was pretty simple, not sure it could work: Go back to RE. Get the EP leader to put out a few obvious changes (Iro, Otto). Put them to a vote - 75% to pass from the top 20 ELO. Next, Give the top 20 ELO players one change to make each after that. Put them to a vot...

Add me on ESO and we can play some games.
Not sure what your level is but I rarely play anymore so if you want free ELO I am happy to share.

Game 3 and 4 was casted from recordings and viewers seemed to be totally fine with this experience, why not just make it standard? Does the UI work properly with casted games? If not, is it something that can be easily fixed? Also, I bet the donations would be smaller during the recorded games. And...

Wow, amazing post @Mitoe. Thanks

India probably underrated on RE, I usually struggle the most vs Sepoy rush and aggressive Agra.
On shit hunt maps it is very tough to deal with.

@Shikari What civ are you playing with?


I'm no pro player but I have always found it easiest to hold these rushes playing as France.
Sending Xbow, minutemen and using your vills has been my best option.

No, early goons doesn't make wws available in colonial, except on EP where they changed it. And yes, it is "good" on EP. I mean it's still a waste of a card from your portuguese mate, but if he does send it, you might as well go wws because they will already be veteran in colonial, and ww...

I've played too many comp stomps in my day. Best way to do it: Play Japs, boom in base and shrine outside of map, get to Age IV. Get all ashi ups, send daiymo to corner near enemy base and make 50+ ashi and send flaming arrows to him. Keep about 30 or so ashi at home for defense behind walls. Push w...
