Re: legacy Germany main coming to DE

Not much has really changed for the deck but I'd say the biggest change is the age 3 card that replaces WW with the other type of ranged cavalry, it is a great shipment that makes a huge difference vs civs with lots of low hp cav units like chimu runners for example where normally a WW would massive...

Re: Inca fort damage doesn't add up

Lol Inca is the best or 2nd best civ and it has been this way since forever. I don't remember a single patch where Inca was a weak civ. But ye maybe now huaraca is ok. Its win rate was 1 of the lowest for a very long time and I know win rate is not necessarily all important but it is significant. I...

Re: Inca fort damage doesn't add up

Huaraca are not worthless, they also do fine against infantry and they do their own siege if Inca is given the opportunity to attack. Advanced artillery is too slow and it's not a solution. The sole fact that you slow roll a civ that enjoys buying time to outscale while raiding you to death is game...

Re: Inca fort damage doesn't add up

They are easily sniped though you do force the shipment and huaracas are worthless vs anything other than artillery while 2 falconets are much more useful so there is that. If they do just cockroach with the strongholds then I guess advanced artillery is the answer because you'll get a mortar to sta...

Re: Inca fort damage doesn't add up

It is worth noting that as standard the stronghold cannot hit falconets as it is out ranged by them so just the 2 falc shipment can take it down with sufficient protection. In this sense it is different from a euro fort which by itself can kill 2 falconets if they are not supported by other units. H...

Re: Age of jaguars 3

They're fantastic at their role now as they should be imo they melt heavy inf and do well vs cav. That being said they still lose hard to light infantry so I don't think they're broken at all as a truly broken/op unit beats it's counters and now knight combat is an age 4 card. Also worth noting that...

Hum. The build seems to still work. Hausa have 3 vills back again. So I guess you can ship 3 vills, build a TP in transition, ship Hausa Kingdoms to have a extra TP and a University wagon on age 2 and the exp crates from Morrocans the age up still gives you a shipment on age 2 + mosque for more xp ...

Re: Hausa - does it even exist anymore?

Seems Ethiopia is quite popular this patch, but Hausa is not. They have no musk and no skirm, and this cannot be covered by shipment (Ethiopia doesn't have skirm in age 2 but they have sudan and cannoner). They have a hard time dealing with strong musketeer type units. They do have akan which are r...

Re: Hausa - does it even exist anymore?

Hausa seem very weak currently. A major issue is the lack of an age 3 artillery shipment for tempo. Other civs hit age 3 and send 2 falcs or fixed gun or big mortar even inca can send big fort but what do hausa have? All of the good age 3 shipments also cost an additional 1000 influence. Artillery i...

Re: Rate of fire and new ottoman units question

The new otto huss just needs it's rate of fire adjusting from 1 to 1.25. Currently they do 20% less damage and fire rate is 50% faster, change it to just 25% faster and they'll be fine.
