Good list.

I also think the Chaos ability for EthiOPia is too strong and needs nerf.

Having a potential 21 vil shipment in age 1 also is too strong; your opponent basically can't commit to any early timing because you can completely "undo" any damage you take just by sending 1 card.

do state militia even get nerfed on the new patch?

Their (coyote runner) insane pathing makes them overperform in large fights, more so than their stats would indicate

age to 2 with the farm and get ups with 700w maybe

Looks like "[EPCM] [3-0] Gibson_vs_dongtay" to me. I don't see where the confusion is.

mostly good, but vs japan you should try to age. Siege elephants are really good at forcing japan out of their base where yumis become much less effective. sepoy/gurkha/mahout/urumi + 2 siege elephants is a good composition to aim for

CM (cool moving)

didn't know this podcast existed until the announcement. seems very cool though!

Also @Aussie_Drongo there are mistakes/typos in the civ matrix. Just from a casual glance:

2. Brit-Sweden is even, but Sweden-Brit is favored

There might be more, those are just the ones i noticed quickly

Agree with this. While China does feel very very strong vs. Japan, speaking from experience it's still quite possible to lose

who is don_artie? never heard of him

Played a cool game using a variant of this strat (instead of 600w I naked ff with 600c). Definitely seems like it could be fun against slower ff strats

perhaps temple of heaven is more viable than people gave it credit for?

higher quality gameplay has never been seen in the entire history of this game

i bet @CaRp wins

1. I like that people are experimenting with skipping bank. bank does feel quite slow. you shipped capitalism, but i think 4v is a decent choice too. 2. I really dislike the colonial part of the build. you are clicking up at 6:45 (without virginia for fast age, too), and you hit the fortress age at ...
