No

On RE you didn't sit in a fortified base until minute 16 and then take a huge fight. Sure it's partly because you have more food in your base thanks to the maps, but the teepees are also a huge incentive to turtle like that.

German civilization will be completely rewritten with exiled prince removal. It has to be the single biggest change to a civ in ep history? Sioux Exactly, and we all know what kind of disaster the sioux changes are. I'm not sure why we keep doing this sort of huge changes. I regret the times where ...

"Like I said it's like removing 400w because a civ using it is too strong." – Did you happen to miss the British lacking the Quartermaster (400w), then? Changing something that isn't a unique feature of the civilization seems preferable to changing something that is. Not every civilizatio...

Iro FI is a thing yeah. Or usually, semi FI. I don't think there are match ups where you'd decide to go for FI directly when the game starts, but after some colonial and/or fortress pressure, going age 4 for toma + light cannon is a good answer to turtle or water play. New ways could also enable soc...

What happened to the "minimal changes" policy, Obviously the policy was abandoned considering half of the ep changes are taking part to overnerf sea while %80 of them were not even needed at all, canoe range nerf for the first example, who was asked for it? were canoes broken? so much unn...

Damnit I wish I could launch the beta and try some broken colonial spanish gold builds

If there's one civ in the game that relies on fast age, it's germany. I don't understand why we'd remove it. Like I said it's like removing 400w because a civ using it is too strong. I wish we could balance EP without totally destroying the way the civs work. What happened to the "minimal chang...

Well abus jan does beat colo iro. Iro units have a shitty animation and can't keep up at all with abus.
Regardless I agree iro colo army is definitely one of the strongest, just a lot of upgrades and aennas are really cost efficient.

Wanna play some 1v1s? <3

I don't cry after having an orgasm

Weird, I've played a great 50 min game vs him recently and it felt orgasmic

Exactly the same thing, PLUS opening this thread and seeing your useless post describing my own despair

Making them in age 1 won't ever be an option if it means you have to idle your tc, unless we make them extremely cheap, which is not desirable because then they'd be too strong later on.

You're right but the unit doesn't necessarily need to be buffed. The moment you make halbs 5 speed they suddendly are too good (basically can play like China does). I think the unit is fine, it's occasionally viable in general and with Dutch, after infantry upgrades you can use it on standard basis...

Then you kill the civ, but maybe it's balanced yeah

Can we stop with the "germans are fine on no tp maps" myth? That's just bs, the civ sucks ass on no tp. You're stuck in colo with shit units in most match ups, and in the match ups where you can age you just struggle to get shipments. However, with the current dop buff, an uhlan hp revert,...

If anything VC is slightly more viable now. It's worth 2 wood more per manor. Let's face it, for a full VC boom you're paying only like 60w more than on RE, it's not what I'd call a huge difference. Manor boom without VC isn't really a thing in most mus because it's just slow. If you want units earl...

Whether Janissary Combat is fine is not the question; the question is whether it should be buffed, from 15%. Unless a good case can be made for it, it should be reverted. Still, if it's popular enough, we could make an exception. Yes it should be buffed from 15% because 1) 15% combat on only one un...

Because jan huss means france can just go musk and be fine

Isnt there a thing with grends as well that sometimes when a target unit gets out of range they cancel their animation, but i have seen grenades chasing units tat are running away that are out of range. How does that work? Once the grenade is up in the air, it will always go and explode, even out o...

It happens either when the target dies or when it goes out of LOS. It's the same for all units, but most of them have an almost instant animation so we don't see it happening. For example, if your infantry shoots at a vil and that vil is garrisoned in tc last second, you lose your entire volley. If ...

I like bonnie, there aren't any pathing issues at all anymore, and the fact that you can siege the mother nature walls adds a bit of depth. I don't think it's much non-standard anymore.

Basically either musk bow timing or musk semi. Musk semi is the safest, but on maps with very low hunts or on no tp maps, you'd rather just play age 2. Anyway jan huss isn't the right build for otto in this match up. I'd go 4 cdbs / 700w / 700g musk semi, get 15-20 musks in age 2, train 5 more while...
