Hi guys,

I'm playing again after a few months break and I'm discovering that the French consulate has been patched, we cannot ship coin age II now.
Is French consulate still somewhat useful ? And what are the viable ways to (semi-)FF now ?

Cheers

Thanks for the info! Didn't pay attention when I played this week.

What Wikipedia says about the falconet: The falconet was a light cannon developed in the late 15th century that fired a smaller shot than the similar falcon. During the Middle Ages guns were decorated with engravings of animals, such as reptiles, birds or mythical beasts depending on their size. For...

I found interesting posts concerning some AOE3 army units in real life. I figured I'd share here :smile: Forgotten warriors: Swiss pikemen - https://imgur.com/gallery/q42Kk Forgotten warriors: Swedish Caroleans - https://imgur.com/gallery/lCCUg Forgotten warriors: European cavalry special - https://...

Thanks guys for your advice. I always fear to be behind when facing heavy eco civs (e.g. France and Brit) but I guess that India isn't so bad at eco itself

How to deal with an enemy walling up on maps with chokepoints when you play as India ? I faced this issue a few times: my enemy sets up one or multiple layers of walls and posts a few xbows/lbows to defend it (it's often French or Brits). Having aged up with Agra Fort, I start producing sepoys to tr...

good topic.. i have some games in my stream. I watched some. You never age up with 14 vills do you ? I also notice you don't always build a market in transition, in which situations do you prefer not to ? The standard India age 1 opening is 15 vills (gather wood for 14 + 1 from the shipment). Marke...

in this case was going to ship tiger, but usually after 5 sepoy I go for big trickle or 700w and get 4vills from otto consulate, market ups, build a stable and change army composition to gurkha sowar zamb. I think is better stay colonial in this build Cool, I was wondering when to drop the market. ...

Thanks for sharing guys! I just watched [mention]u7039[/mention] video (will watch the other later) and that's a sweet push. Two questions: 1/ what's the follow-up after sending 700g, aging or producing more units ? and 2/ was it intentional to stay with the Ottoman consulate ? I would have switched...

It could be entirely artificial data How do think it could happen ? I work in scientific research (not in the climate field but quite linked to it) and can't figure how some group of people could influence all the data collection and processing all over the planet. Researchers are just people, they...

Yes! Thanks mate. Turns out I was wrong all along: not Aitch, not Malaysia, not so recent match.
Here's a link for the record (second game)

Hi, I'm looking for a recording of a recent tournament match. The game was on Malaysia, and one player with India (might be Aitch) took like 10 minutes before going to age II. I searched for it without success.
If someone had a link, it would be much appreciated

What I would do is age up with the tower, put it defensively and build a rax under it first. Then ship 700w and build a stable with that. There might be other options though.

For the record, I found a video from Haitch explaining how to counter Portugal on water maps:

Thanks for your answers, I'll look it up. Yeah I read Wicked's guide, it's a goldmine !

I would like to improve my knowledge of India, besides what is already on the strategy wall. Does someone have an idea of where I could find other (or more recent) BOs ? Also, I like to watch Aizamk playing Indians on Twitch but find difficult to replicate his strats. Are there other good India play...

There is no point, in DE you start with all the cards for all the civs

The guy doesn't try the smallest bit to be discreet... or to play the game lol

Yes of course, maybe I wasn't clear but in the whole post I'm considering that the two cows are eaten at the same time. I don't consider the cow-hunt switch when speaking about one villager per cow, only when you task two vills per cow. When you eat both cows with 2 vills on each, you do need to mov...

If you task your 2 age up vills to your two age up cows (which begin at 300f by the way) you will eat them up in 120s (including decay). At which point you will have gathered 480f . Your two vills only need 10s to gather the 20f missing to get to 500. So pay off time is 2min and 10s (and actually e...

Thanks guys. Is 2v/2cows useful when you stay in base an are afraid to run out of hunts ? Or for booming BOs, to get even more vills ?

Hi, I play mostly British on legacy (RE) at the moment, and before switching to the Definitive Edition, I'd like to know what has changed for this civ. I saw new policitians and revolutions, are they good enough compared to the standard play ? (i.e. tower/500f then 7 lb politicians). And are there o...

Hi everyone, I'm a Belgian dude, 27, mostly playing on RE (1v1 or team games with friends) but this is about to change as I just got a decent GPU that will allow me to play smoothly on the definitive edition. I started playing on release, after receiving the collector edition for Christmas :santa: b...
