Since noone agrees with anything, i'll argue even more.

Imo aztec playing full agressive should be good vs brit, both patches.

And also, i think that brit colonial musk huss is great vs Spanish. (standard maps, not atp).



Prove me wrong!

I have had great success with british vs aztec rush. Hus start into lb hus is good against aztec. The mu is very similar to brit vs russia, but I think russia does better because they can remass much easier

I've always thought Brit counters Aztec, probs even MU, but imo slightly brit favoured

Diarouga said as France a stagecoach musk semi is good. You have to scout his base and know the units he makes in order to counter him. He will have musks 95% of the time. Train skirms and goons if he has hussars or skirms and cuirassiers if he has longbows, or all these 3 units, scouting the opponent's base is extremely important. Ship falconets when you feel you can safely protect them, and attack.
However I'm not a pro player, so corrections/information/tips would be appreciated
Consider not the one who speaks the truth, but the truth that is said

Get the fuck up out of here and leave the intelligent-opinions stating to CurassierAndCurassier.

Also, unless Aztec can starve British enough in the first ten minutes of the game I don't see any chance whatsoever for it. Brits are very stronk indeed unless you can deny enough map or break them with a Colonial or early-Fortress push, I tink.

I think aztec should be decent if played in all in style, no 5 vill, no wp. Dont be h20 vs mongo.

Actually i'm not sure, i dont have great experience in this mu, but aztec is capable of making an early timming stronger then russia, and russia is hard to hold as brits, soooo.....

Nah, the aztec all in doesn't work vs brit.
The issue H2O had is that he mixed everything, he went for a greedy build with 5v etc but on the other hand he went agressive with fb and full coyotes, you just can't do that because at the end you're both outmassed and outboomed.
A 10wp boom into semi ff, however, does extremly well vs brit.

It is hard to do this vs EP Russia, brit in general (but still 50-50), and otto.

Nah actually Brits are not that great past a certain point compared to TAD civs and Aztecs. They shine between 10 and 16 min or so, maybe bit sooner or later as well with specific builds.

If he doesn't push your base you'll have to be aggressive cause he's probably aging up, I usually do a batch of cuir+8skirm card since its not the most expected composition and brits don't usually go too heavy on hus after you get to age 3, but you gotta scout their composition to adapt properly.
If he comes to you, just try to survive the timing with a card+mm+cdb and the units you're able to pull out. If you pull this off, just deny his hunts afterwards and you win.

Agreed. Aztec does seem absolutely chanceless in any other scenario, though.

They also have to upgrade all their units in age 3 except goons, which makes it even worse

RE Spain not too gud though compared to EP. Perhaps France. RE maps are the biggest hindrance to brits so early aggression and map control probably work best vs them. On EP I'd say Russia, Spain, India really. Maybe ports. Brits don't have a lot of counters. They are very much so a versatile civ.

Edit: The PR 35+ have shown up. Refer below for proper advice and disregard the above.


lol spain doesnt do well vs brits at all. on re they just lose. on ep they do a bit better, but also just lose in the end. brits vs india is pretty close.
i think china does okish. i like sioux vs brits tbh. but i might be one of the few. aztecs maybe. russia is probably quite good on most maps.
