Leather cannons

Been playing as Sweden recently, and have been trying to work out the point of leather cannons? I understand that it sounds good on paper to have a small cannon available in age 2 - but it seems too expensive early in the game (300f + 100w?) and too weak to use later in the game. Unless it's just so...

Re: Opinion on New Natives

Of the previous natives the Mayan spearman got reworked to a sort of musketeer unit. It's almost like a 4.5 speed janissary with a little less hp. The Seminole sharktooth bowman got reworked to have a rof gimmick to fire faster when closer to a target so if you liked that unit I guess it is stronge...

I used to love Cree trackers - also Huron mantlets as well. But a few people are saying that berbers are good, so I must remember to use them

Re: Opinion on New Natives

Royal house natives are almost always worth it in mid to late game due to their units, techs or big buttons. Berbers and akans are good african natives. Old natives are mostly the same, except jesuits are mega buffed. Thanks for the tips. Useful to know about the Jesuit’s being buffed, didn’t know ...

Opinion on New Natives

Been playing a bit of DE recently and I’m a bit confused by how many natives there are. There used to be 12 - but DE (once including the new DLCS) has added another 16! Part of the fun used to be knowing which ones were good and which were pants lol. But I’m clueless with these new ones. Which are y...

Esoc - full of embezzled tax dollars. It has a global slush fund of at least $5. Once cut off from its primary monetary source, it can run for at least 2 days. We the people know what’s going on.

Yeah people tend to get stuck in a rut with their favorite maps based on how good the close by resources are. I got so sick of playing large Deccan LOL.

Nice job on the updated page. Looks good! I just went on another forum for a different RTS game I used to play, just to see how it was getting on.

Fair enough to be honest. Sometimes it's good to be honest and admit when we don't have the time or inclination to do something. I'ts nice that DE is here - just a pity that it's a decade late for many of us who now don't have the time to really learn it. And with TAD being 15years old and now total...

Watched it the other day, thought it was fantastic. Didn’t rely on pure nostalgia like many late sequels - was really good.

Re: Kings of the Old World - 6000$ AOE3 Tournament

Fantastic to see how AOE 3 has bounced back. Just goes to show what happens when a dedicated community keeps something alive :) So many other RTS games from the noughties just haven't stuck around the same, with the halls of many forums slowly emptying... Feels like AOE may be hitting a bit of a gol...

USA Expansion Storage Space

Quick question, does anyone know how much storage space the USA expansion needs for 3 DE? Or is it built into the game already, like the DLC in AOE2 DE where it's already in the game and you pay to "unlock" it? Not sure if this belongs in the tech support thread, but seemed like the most r...

A couple new civs would have been welcome tbh. Just not cancer civ like Sweden and Inca. I would still like to see some more civs. AOE2 DE is getting the expansion with the Sicily and the Burgundians (which is hilarious that the final DEFINITIVE edition is getting an add on, but ironic lol) which m...

It’s a good table actually, I like it a lot :) I might have moved black riders down a notch into tier A as I think they’re slightly overrated for the few scenarios they’re good in. And I might move Highlanders / Fusiliers up a level to Tier S as I think they’re nearly always useful, and are very str...
