This is why Brits are one of the hardest and most rewarding civs to play.deleted_user wrote:Brits actually have so many viable opening lines it's not even funny. They are entirely situational too depending on civ and opponent MU and strategy.
Off 300w you can do market, 2 manor, or TP. Off 200w 100c you can market or just 1 manor, depends on MU and nearby treasures. And you can age up with two different viable age up politicians as well.
And in transition you can forgo the market and just make manors for certain builds or you can just manor boom a whole lot or very little. It's crazy man. Compare that to a civ like France who early markets or early tps every game and that's the extent of their build variation.

lawl britz so harddddd
Re: British Colonial Muskets
You don't agree? Having more options means it's harder to choose the right one. And choosing the right one is rather important in most Brit MUs.

Re: British Colonial Muskets
it makes it a tiny bit harder, doesnt mean theyre very hard. and rewarding is even more subjective. i remember when i made this case about plurality of strat/bo choices for otto/spain/iro and you guys didnt agree, you among them. this is basically the same argument, but for age1.

I think that somebody said the same argument but talking about India.

200w or 300w
so 2 manors and 3 manors.
But with a 300-wood start you have to chop 105 wood, which means your manor will be built late and your age-up will be delayed even more, isn't it just better to wait for transition to build another manors?
Re: British Colonial Muskets
Not just age1. The same applies to every civ, yes, but to a bigger extent for Brit imo. There are just a lot of small variations in the early game which means your options deviate even more towards midgame. Also there are a lot of different ways to boom and degrees to which you can boom. Most civs just have the one way (ie 4v card for France) plus the TP boom on some maps. This in turn means Brit has a bunch of midgame timings.umeu wrote:it makes it a tiny bit harder, doesnt mean theyre very hard. and rewarding is even more subjective. i remember when i made this case about plurality of strat/bo choices for otto/spain/iro and you guys didnt agree, you among them. this is basically the same argument, but for age1.
Re: British Colonial Muskets
Could it have something to do with the viability of the respective choices?umeu wrote:it makes it a tiny bit harder, doesnt mean theyre very hard. and rewarding is even more subjective. i remember when i made this case about plurality of strat/bo choices for otto/spain/iro and you guys didnt agree, you among them. this is basically the same argument, but for age1.

India and Japan have a ton of options and those civs arent that hard tbh. I think that options make a civ hard for a new player, but if you play the civ a lot and know when each start is good and when it isnt than you are fine. IMO british is a fairly easy civ, they just require higher apm than other civs.

idk why but it was "wall and yabusame" that got the most chuckles out of me
Re: British Colonial Muskets
I suppose you experienced a mild high upon realising you had been presented the best unit composition known to RTS: Wall and Yabusame. It's very understandable you would chuckle.deleted_user wrote:idk why but it was "wall and yabusame" that got the most chuckles out of me

Except these choices are mostly insignificant.

Re: British Colonial Muskets

Re: British Colonial Muskets
I didnt notice he was talking about aklak build. But still, do you really want to delay your ageup with that strategy?
