Re: China Questions

As far as I understood it, heavy cannons are only affected by the team card Engineering School and even there only by 5% instead of the full 20%. This is also true for the other cards which reduce artillery train time. They always have a weaker effect (10%) for heavy cannons/bombards/congreve rocke...

Re: China Questions

Just for clarification: I mixed up the name of mass production with the chinese age III faster training card Of course the factory upgrade (which I just learned is called mass production) has an effect on heavy cannon training. If Acupuncture decreases heavy cannon train time by 20%, it is (interes...

China Questions

I have a few question I'd like to get cleared up. Does the age 3 Acupuncture card effect the Heavy Cannon train time from the factory? and does Acupuncture (-20%), Team Engineering (-20%) and Mass Production (-25%) all stack to decrease Heavy Cannon train time or only the latter two?

Aztec- Agrarian Ways Card

So I've started to experiment with the Aztecs and I was wondering if this card is worth sending in early fortress age. I usually fast age to age 2. Now if I choose to age up to fortress with the farm travois and send this card. You can get the hunting/gathering bonus for hunts and berries pretty fas...

Re: China in Team

What build(s) are you going? In general, if you're planning on staying age 2 you should pretty much only send units shipments. 8 Chu Ko Nu 9 Pike 7 Steppe then send 300 export to get redcoat musketeers or cossacks from the consulate. If you have to send 700w, send it after 9 pike; but in general yo...

China in Team

I'm really struggling using China in team games. Are they viable on re patch? They don't seem to see much high level play and from my experience it's because of banner armies and their anti-cav problem. The only time I seem to find success is when I have a Port, French, Brit, India ally etc to mass ...

Performance/tiers of each civ on team games

IMO Japan, and French, Otto, and Aztecs are really hard to stop in team. Otto has abus and as long as he has a compitent ally guarding = really strong. Aztec fast rush on deccan is tough too. Add in a china sending Provincial admin. 1st card so the whole team doesn't have to worry pop space and can ...

Civ rules for next tournament?

Pre set civs for the maps beforehand seems like a solid idea. But don't you think players would get lucky with matchups? I do however like the idea of only being able to use a civ once per matchup. But it does screw people that love/play strong with 1-2 civs.

Civ rules for next tournament?

But instead of banning OP civs, would your opponent not just ban the civ or civs that you are best with, in order to gain the advantage rather than for the balancing aspect. Wouldn't that lead to a tourney of a lot of OP vs balanced civs.

Kynesie vs Acergame

That Rus vs Jap game was insane. Both players had a chance to win at some point throughout the game. It was back a forth action from both sides.
