What is the best civ/strat to beat them?

French FF?
Russ blockhouse and contain?
Iro Aenna rush?


Germany counters brits so hard, too much cav, i can't deal with that shit when i'm playing with brits against germany.


nah no way, its def even if not brit favored on esoc maps.

India is not even as one sided as people make it out to be its a 55/45 mu.
A good brit rapes france, there semi is better, there age 2 is better, there eco is better.
I would say russia contain is there only horible mu, not sure why they have not been nerfed yet.


And how do you win with brits against Germany? it's a painful MU for me, even worse when they're making mercenarys.
I just try to make a semi-ff 10 huss, 700w,700g,5v and i upgrate almost all in the market and i try to make too many hussars for try to fight their uhlans but it seems imposible to try to have the same amount of cav as him, because there is a time when you have to leave your nice base and search more resources or just make mills.

India ofc will be a solid pick. Russia too, though imo its brit favored, its still close. I think the new sioux is good, and iro might also be solid.



Not sure about sioux, it looks worse then re, what do you do against a fuckton of musks?

why would it be worse than re? with teepees being viable now, you can probably hold with cetan br without problem, or otherwise just wakina. i've never struggled in this mu vs agressive brits, if sioux loses this mu its to a turtle.

Japan: loses to brit
India: Probably their hardest counter
China: loses to brit
Aztecs: they do ok but you gotta play them really well.
Iro: They win easily on the RE ofc but on The ep they probably lose
Sioux: Well...
Otto: They do ok but still I feel they shouldn't win
Dutch : They get rekt
Spain: They do surprisingly well but brit is too strong
France: The match up is ok and fair considering how much harder to play brits are but if the brit guy is really good, he'll just win
Germany: Same as France but it's a lot harder to play as brit against ger than it is as brit against france (because of uhlans), but I feel like at high level it's easier to beat ger as brit.
Port: rape
Russia: close but on good maps it's brit favoured

So as a conclusion, The best civ against brit is india.
It's really hard to beat a good brit player honestly. Especially when he sends VC :P

France vs. brit is mostly brit favoured imo currently. Brit can do tp+vc and do pretty well, or they can put on the colonial pressure with a fast hussar build. Brit can get hussars in queue before french even ages up sometimes, and then get 10 more out and drop a rax on 700w to transition in a very strong colonial push with great raiding presence in the early game. I have been beaten and have beaten people so many times with this build. The build works against most civs that are trying to semi-ff, china also from my experience.

I'm not too sure about ger and otto honestly.
Ger is quite easy to defeat, at least from my experience.
And it's the same for otto.
Honestly I'd rather pick Russia.
