Are Priest Actually Viable?

I understand that priests are not the most used unit in the game. In fact, they are hardly used at all. I was wondering though, in perfect play would they not be cost effective? To start they cost 100 wood (church cost) plus 200 gold. This sounds like a lot, but if they significantly heal even 1 maj...

Re: What if AOE3 became the new e-sport?

I'd love to see it. Hopefully someone would mod it a bit to speed it up i agree, if action does not start within first 3-4 mins it really wont make it in the e-sports scene There already is fast mode. Would be interesting to have it in fast mode until the first age up is completed or something like...

Re: Sioux Eco play

It's important to note that farm upgrades affect food gather rates (likewise plantation upgrades affect coin gather rate) so it is possible (particularly with sioux age 4 politician who gives 30 bison and +30% huntable gather rate) to get food/coin gather rates much faster than the European civs. Th...

Re: What would the meta look like if we had a smart AI with perfect mechanics?

I think that this questions could equivalently be what strategy would you use if you knew you were going to have perfect strategy and macro? That is obviously impossible but a good proxy would be playing at a super slow game speed (like the actual slow game speed but even 1/10 as fast as that). If e...

Re: Tournament Rules and Information

Who will be the tournament admins or has that been decided yet? I only really care because the last few tournaments have had their fair share of drama and I hope this tourny will have less. . .

I trust pretty much everyone on the admin team but just curious.

Re: Grass or pasture Shipment on india civ

In treaty could this card be viable? Even a continuous 3ish pop worth of wood gathering would be pretty good.

Re: Top civ on Starvation?

I do not really see why Japs should be banned. Just don't give them the 2 cherry orchards to start out. If they want to send them later fine but in "starve" just don't give any civ any starting food. . .

Re: Sioux Tips Plz (1v1)

Are you familiar with the fast 10 br strat? This is my go-to Sioux strat as it is really flexible and can defend all but the hardest rushes (need to make a war hut against iro/otto/india rush) while giving a scary raiding presence to age up after. 1. sent 3vill as first card 2. Age up with 400 wood ...
