You can normal FF 20 vills age1.

the context is a hausa rush, if you have replays I'd love to see

Everything is bad vs hausa rush . No need for this context.

On a related note: why the heck do Ethiopians get "Sebastopol Mortars" which seem to be named after the Ukrainian/Russian city located on the Crimea peninsula. Is there any connection between Russia and Ethiopia during that time?! Or does this name refer to something else? Gatling Camels ...

Don't do that. You can't really afford to send Dominions+Improved buildings. You need resource crates and Torp ugprades (gathering etc.), maybe even military shipments. Best way to defend torps is by massing an army. Because of the changes you can't just max torps from the start anymore and you nee...

It feels like everyone playing aztecs really passively. I really like to force trade military units. Especially if they go for musk units. Its free XP and you have generally better mass pressuring him to constantly build more army and forcing him to be less greedy. You always want to have units acti...

what is fun for the top players? i think esoc patch and DE meta is masterbation for top players yeah, exactly, you guys really understand this game and made good balance but every maps have same character and every players use normally deck theseday you micro nerd guys robbed everyplayer's imaginat...

Anyone else experiencing where units that are told to go somewhere just stop walking like halfway there? Even units rallying out of a barracks will do it sometimes. This bug is really annoying. it does it to me all the time, in fact it's when I do my hotkey to select all my units like musk and then...

You won in my heart

So the takeaway from this research is that Sweden are fine and people just get particularly salty losing to them? Also add Japan to the list with a win rate of 48%. Their shrines and Ashigaru musketeers are definitely not overpowered. :ohmy: Pretty sure it's because its so unfun to play against, be...

Give free silk road age2? Is it a huge buff?

Really powerful quote ! It stands true for all civs too!

Crush him with only semi-ff.

it makes sense from a customer relations standpoint to move the game away from rushes and toward more boomy/late game play, which is easy to forget when you've been playing multiplayer for a while. if you don't you get something like this: step 1. brand new player sees the huge cities that people b...

Town militia definitely needs a nerf. Newsflash: if your opponent turtles, the classic RTS response is not brute forcing it but booming. The highly asymmetric civ pool in AoE3 means many civs don't have the option to outboom something like port water, and turtling isn't an all-in strategy that prev...

It's kinda impossible to predict that having 2 guaranteed mines and guaranteed hunts would make this game more into boomy playstyle /s.

Hot takes: It's not the player that have been better at handling rushes, it's the map been better at denying rushes.

aztec: youssef?

I don't see this causing any noticeable split. Realistically it's going to be tested only by a small number of players, and almost exclusively in singleplayer I think. It's merely a testing ground to catch some bugs early, you don't even get to keep your account data/progress on the beta. It's not ...

Why not spanish? It's the most vanilla civ out there to me. It has powerful builds atm too and can do about everything in 1vs1.

But in any case, if after destroying completely the base of a player you feel like in a bad position, it probably has nothing to do with the MU. You shall probably just are way too slow (coming from me, that means something). Just work on your apm, because you need to be more active on the map. Jap...

You go native is there is native anti-cav! It's especially fun on GP

Maybe they could give ottomans a logistician? They are the only euro civ without one and maybe it could be 1000 food, this would sacrifice aging fast if you choose to do this, and what it could do is make your unique mosque upgrades available in any age, and give a discount to the upgrades as well ...

Despite all the semi-ff lobbying and the fact he stays age 2 so long and he finds a way to be top 10, Mitoe best player confirmed?

While doing some testing on unit strenght I was thinking about this: units with fast ROF and setup animation such as lbows or arrow knights pretty much always shoot blank on the 2nd volley if not retasked. That's because they target the already dead unit. As things are now a ROF of 2 instead of 1.5...

TP start is ok but it's actually worse now because TPs are nerfed. The only times I'd consider TP over firepit is if I'm planning a stagecoach strat or if I can drop both with a wood treasure. . Also you need to chop 350w for hut + house during age up if you don't send 700w first on age up or you w...

Well no you'd just go TP and don't dance, like some people do already, and then after you clicked up just chop 100w and xp dance with 1 then 4 wps. Or you just find a wood treasure because you have the eagle scout and your wp scouting as well, so that you get both the firepit and TP without aging l...
