I think you're overblowing the value of rushes in team games. Speaking from experience, rushes are most often done by well-coordinated teams(and cheating clans, cough cough) that will more often than not stomp randoms matched together. Honestly, while team games can already be annoying to assemble, ...

Ye Russia has always been pretty average and now with the new civs and safer maps it's just mediocre, competitively speaking. I don't even know why is it ranked so high in some tier list. I'm not advocating for Russia buffs (in fact the age IV musketeer buff is huge and not even deserved probably, ...

Gatling with that card and leather cannons with case shot are borderline OP because they do decent even against cav. Iirc case shot was nerfed cause it was even more ridicolous. Literally. There are some simulations people ran, Gatling vs Hussars, and Gatlings just barely won. Now imagine with a fe...

After last patch French is probably the best legacy civ. Or Otto. Or India actually. I like that shipment that gives you six shipments How quickly can you get that many? the tech requires you to already have researched a bunch of techs/shipped shipments to spike so much immediately. Also what peopl...

seems like this currently causes OOS, unfortunately

Nah it's explorer ransom and/or the new skins

It would require a large amount of shipments to be useful, in which case I'd also recommend Bourbon royal house. Btw, unfortunately they lose the vil tag, so you can't buff them by 65% HP. But the idea is there, and rather promising, if you can keep up the shipments.

What about Romania revo?

I am wondering if the effect applies to Romanian Cavalry archers too, that have 1 ROF. But I'm not sure judging by the text.

Azap (and CA) have a card in age4 to remove the setup animation. Can potentially FI and use that unit instead of jans.

I just realized something.
Otto fast revolt into Romania has literally broken Cav Archers

Explorer ransom causes OOS

Train abus, cover them with Azaps.
???
Win.

C(heater)OSA

OOS happens when someone ransoms explorer

Why would they take out the 4 Mamelukes cards from Ports ? That's an iconic card and Ports really need it to get a timing push in fortress.

Likely cause they're getting some early game love and 3 Organ guns with target lock, which will make 4 Mams on top rather excessive.

i have to say, France feels smoother than ever in team games. BTW, will House of Nassau 1st be the new Dutch team meta? I can see it outperforming 3 vils in 3v3/4v4

Like if you disagree

They are spoiling us!

Also FRANCE BUFFS, LETS GOOOOOOOO

I am 100% sure the advanced tutorial for BOs is actually Samwise French

Hello! Two questions, is the guide still valid in this version of aoe3? And second, do you mind if I translate it into another language? I am a few patches behind, in particular you may notice that there is no section on the Roman tactics card, but the general gist of it should more or less work. I...

I think you people are being over-dramatic. The game is being re-vitalized again, people are messing around with new strats. This is good! Especially if the strats don't fall into the typical Rush, FF or Semi. If you're having issues keeping track, maybe you need to sit down and learn about the game...

1. Play Ottomans in team games
2. Go Abus
3. ???
4. Profit

The healer change actually harms the normal players. In former patch Haud healers can't dance in plaza, but takes only half time to train than Aztec priest. Now it takes even longer time to train a healer: what if I just wanna heal my army, instead of dancing with half efficiency? Healers have the ...

haud is now ridiculous against ranged fire. My new favourite exploit- stack the somali armour tech onto beaver wars for 75rr mantlets. Yeah, that translates to 4x ranged hp or double the ranged hp of tad. Enjoy your 4000hp tanks vs ranged civs True, but their anticav is still pretty meh from what I...
