Anyway. I had never considered doing sepoy here because I don't find them to be hard to deal with in fortress. Howdah however with the ranged poke and the healing and the way they force china to make their weak banner army really make the strat.
ye in your strat vs china, howdah is the best option, but this is mainly because china doesnt have dragoons. Try this strat vs a civ that can get alot of goons or ruyter out, and it doesnt work as well. Sure the howdah have more range, but cuz theyre so slow they cant outrun the goons and they will just get killed. I've tried howdah urumi strats vs ports, and you do well for a while but then you just can't keep up. And urumi just get kited vs pure goon anyway.
I do wonder how this strat would work vs spain tho. Though i guess spain ff would hit too fast, and atp semi might have too much mass, but it could work maybe.
