Re: 2v2 strategy need
As others mentioned, War Wagons can also be very usefull on this scenario. War Wagons have bonuses against both the Naginatas -And-the Falconets, and unlike Uhlans, they actually have a lot of HP. This is one of those rare cases where you can use light cavalry as the frontline if your army if you so...

Re: 2v2 strategy need
I am not sure of what you are doing wrong if Naginata Riders are killing your cavalry... Naginata Riders are actually mediocre against other cavalry... Tell me something: Are you plaiyng the cavalry upgrade cards as the Germans? Uhlans have fairly mediocre base stats, but the Germans have a whole li...

Just for fun: What would be the AoE3 counterparts of each AoM civilization?
Now, first of all, for those of you who played Age of Mythology and this game, it should be pretty blindingly obvious that this game took a lot of hints from Age of Mythology( From subtle things like pathfinding, to more obvious things like the association between the politician systen and the Minor...

What is the best civilization at the following strategies: Rush, Boom, and Turtle?
... So, yeah, the title explains itself :p. I will give my own personal two cents: Rush: Sioux. Like all Native civilizations, they are quite fast to go to the Colonial Age, what is obviously a plus by itself. And, of the three, they have some of the best raiding units on the Colonial Age: The Bow R...

Re: What is your favourite( And least favourite ) native civ alliance?
But naw, id probably go with Cherokee and Cree as the best, just cause theyre skirms, which would be a really cool strat idea for civs without skirms that like age 2 play, like brits. Also, the upgrades from both are pretty solid. Worst is harder to say, cause there is some merit to all native alli...

Re: What is your favourite( And least favourite ) native civ alliance?
For Colonial Age standarts, 200 food is ridiculously expensive :p. It is indeed much cheaper then Mahout Lancers though. Anyway, on the Fortress Age, the cost does becomes much less of a limiter, but unfortunatelly, it is very vulnerable to light cavalry. More so even then other heavy cavalry due to...

What is your favourite( And least favourite ) native civ alliance?
I originally wanted to make it into another Top 5, but it proved harder then expected. Truth be told, how usefull a native civ actually is depends majorly on what civilization you are plaiyng as, what civilization you are plaiyng against, and the general map, to name a few. So, it would be kind of l...

Re: MU of the month: Spain vs China
Consulate does add up over time, yes... But... Well, if we are talking about the British consulate here, I feel that, by the time you can get a large enough amount of Musketeers to be a threat to the Spanish( Which also have Musketeers of their own ), they will probably advance to the Fortress age w...

Re: MU of the month: Spain vs China
Generally in this matchup isnt china going to simply use meteor hammers/iron flails to 'counter' the lancers? As lancers just arent very good against other cav? Also would this be a good matchup for that 7 steppe rider shipment simply for siege pressure should spain go for ATP? Well, I often suppor...

Re: The "Units I just cant use" thread.
I see. What would you recomend I support Urumis with? I mean, normally, heavy cavalry is best supported with either light infantry or light cavalry, but the Urumis... Well, they -Are-Light infantry :p. With their main "hard" counter being heavy cavalry, then... Zamburaks, maybe?

Re: MU of the month: Spain vs China
Noob question: Wouldnt it be better for Spain to do a Colonial Age rush over a Fast Fortress? I mean... Between their Rodeleros and, perhaps most importantly, their ability to send shipments faster, a lot about Spain always screamed "Early, constant agression" to me. I have been plaiyng ar...

The "Units I just cant use" thread.
Hey there! So, I wanted to make this thread to discuss some units that I do not consider as necesserially bad, as I have seen other players use then for great effect in recorded games, but which-I-For some reason just seem to consistently fail to obtain good results with. I was hoping some of you co...

Re: Team early dragons with germans
After a few testing matches, I came to the conclusion that... Most of the time, it wont be worth it :p. As players above pointed out, War Wagons are too expensive. They are also too slow and, thanks to their weird shooting animation, make for surprisingly bad raiders. I personally feel there are con...

Re: Consulate discussion.
To say it straight forward: I am not a big fan of consulate armies. On the other hand, I only play team games, so I guess that in 1v1 there might be some use for them. My approach to consulates is nearly always identical. China: start with allying Germany for 1) cheaper banner armies and 2) trickle...

This is because both of then help the Chinese in a area where they are sorely lacking: Anti-Cavalry. The Br...

Actually, using Crossbowmen against Doppelsoldners is kind of a gamble. The Crossbowman anti-Heavy Infantry multiplier is... Not that good.

Re: best strategy for beating India as French?
As I said, I think TEAM: Early Skirmishers is mostly usefull for Colonial Age rushes. It is also usefull against civilizations like the Germans, who have powerfull heavy infantry units that are otherwise just really hard to properly fight against without Skirmishers. Also, this may be a incredibly o...
