Re: EP Unction thread

I've tried it, but altogether Spanish units in age 2 are nothing special, though you can get hussars with 57 attack once fully-upgraded in Colonial Later on definitely an option if the game is in a stalemate, obligatory card for me in all of my decks. Also EP Unction EleGiggle Thank you for your in...

thanks michel103


you can't mass urumi and they die to skirms and cannon / cavalry easily

Re: My hotkey setup (totally "inspired" by MrMilo)

How do you use alt? I use the mouse with my left hand too, and haven't figured out how to remap it. Someone told me it was hardcoded. I have a compact keyboard (no space between numpad and regular keys) and I have alt remapped on 2 of the arrow keys. I use my thumb for shift, ctrl and alt. How did ...

I don't see why not, you might have trouble due to prerequisites not being installed but if they are then it should work

cryptos will continue on an overall downward trend throughout the year due to tighter restrictions whereas stocks are usual.

Re: Japanese Discussion Thread

If you gave any wonder a faster build time, you'd add it to Great Buddha, since it's relatively useless due to its poor shipment quantity. Also, @ bigsmoke, 1 shrine with 4 cows gathers .7 / food per second, about equal to a Japanese villager. On wood, it's equal to a fully-upgraded Colonial Age Ja...

Re: Japanese Discussion Thread

One suggestion might be to make Torii spawn a number of cows, helping to deal with Japan's inability to function if it loses map control . You could make it spawn 4/8/12/20 cows, which are enough for 1/2/3/5 shrines respectively. This wouldn't do anything unless you commit to building the shrines f...

Re: How to beat grenadiers

I would make skirmishers and dragoons. Remember Grenadiers have the Heavy Infantry tag so they take full damage from a skirmisher (2x multiplier and 0.5 resist). This can be amplified through the arsenal with a multiplier upgrade for skirmishers. The skirmishers will also eat through pikemen like bu...
