Different ways to encounter the this mer army , first off start with cav and depending on your civ keep the push and aggressive. Less eco boom more army and push. Another easy way is just mirror germany and youll be just fine. And keep the push and just dont let them hit Age III

Merc style germany is a more inconsistent variant of normal germany. Sometimes they get really good mercs (jaeger, manchu, black riders and hackapells are some of the best I think) at which point the strat becomes really good.

Well, they get all of them, except from the Manchu, from the HC, so I wouldn't say „sometimes" :uglylol:

Yeah but if you have shit mercs in the saloon, going for mercs strat is bad, even if you ship adv mercs + mercs shipments. I think that's what he meant.
