Due to budgetary constraints, lack of qualified applicants and the training time required, you can't comprise your entire army entirely out of elite units. The King's Musketeers never did number more than a couple of companies, compared to the thousands of rank and file musketeers.

The game's patchers seemed to have a bit of an obstinate attitude where France was concerned, even though hundreds of treaty players commented that it was too powerful in the late game. In the final patch here is what was done to France:


FRENCH

I agree with OP. In my opinion ALL French units (except pikemen &' halbs) should get the royal upgrade. I know it's not historically accurate but how the f#ck would you give Ports the royal upgrade for musks. Why would French lose vs naked people who throw axes ? Why don't they have schooners ?

Because then you would have a realistic history game that would probably not be as fun.

See: EU4 and how France (miles and away the strongest power from 1400-1800) obliterates everything and paints the map royal blue.

Aoe 3 is an unrealistic and a mythical game. Some are true, some are false. As you said, French should have given royal guard upgrade to muskets. But it is the problem with the creators of aoe 3. They only see where to put where. Even in history, Chinese are the first to invent gun powder. But in aoe 3, I see no gun powder units in China whereas only one which is also only available in age 3 and sucks sometimes. You studied that story? "Arthos, Porthos and Aramis" it is quite interesting.

Yeah, old school. Monte cristos is nice too. I like even the author of "Around the world in 80 days" really, fascinating story.

Got a laugh out of me, thanks!

Obvious answer is that it''s a video game and they need to differentiate the civs somehow. Beyond that you can probably post on the official AoE site and wait for their reply. You''ll probably hear back from someone there within the next few years.

iirc brits musk were better trained than france and france actually had skirms that is ranged inf without bayonets brits had them but were less compared to france therefore they got royal skirm up compared to royal musk. hussar was the general cavalry name and elite cav in france was called cruis and in prussia was called ulhan cruis were slow but heavily guarded and ulhan were light and fast i think ms in general did a decent job at historical accuracy

Musketeers are soldiers who are really origined in France and they are guardians of French kings. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Musketeer. And yes uhlans are from Prussia. These things have changed in Napoleonic era FP. for example. France has royal guard upgrade for their musketeers enabled. But I doubt that patch still didn''t become popular on online.

My wet dream is that a launcher is released where you can play any game on the fly: NE, WoL, ESOC Patch, RE

Why do people always tend to read hastily without understanding the meaning of what is written. I dont get where musketeers originated has anything to do with which being better. Musketeers or redcoats as british called them were simply highly and better trained than their french counterparts. Thats why they get royal guard upgrade and french ones dont.

Did you just read the history section that is in the game ? Because that''s how it sounds like.
