Re: What would you most likely encounter with when you return

Question mark I'm confused, what do you mean by this? Are you refering to returing to the game after a period of inactivity? If yes, these are what i have encountered since i have started playing again: 1) Fewer players do all-in rushing strategies in supremacy games. 2) Too many players try to tea...

Re: What is up with some people playing this game?

Now go to vanilla to see that there are 5 times more such players compared to TAD. :) Not just 1 civ or 1 map players, but cheaters too. This game is a bit of a subculture, it is quite special. Dolan made a good comment about the Japanese players, they were a big community back in the day, many left...

Re: Alternatives to CM as China

I've been using CM a fair bit, mainly vs Russia and Aztec, and I really don't like it. Always feels like the aggressor can be happy just sitting back and maybe timing push after I age instead of streaming units in. So my question is; are there any good ways to semi FF vs these civs or is CM a neces...

Re: Question about French

1. Nat snare was removed because it gives the player with the native scout a disproportional advantage in age 1. France obviously starts with a scout, but you can also find a scout from treasures. Theoretically, you can even train or ship them, but no one does this in competitive games. Nat snare a...

Re: Spanish Discussion Thread

You have a point. The card wouldn’t become insanely good, probably it would get from absolute trash to “somewhat usable”. Honestly i think that even if the card was “huss+rod+pike veteran upgrades for free” it wouldn’t be broken, since spain usually doesn’t want to make lots of pikes and hussars in...

Re: EP 7.0.x Beta [2019-10-28]

Many great changes! I don't get why every single unit the Aztecs have is buffed though. It's not like they have weak units. Why are the skull knights buffed? They are only a part of the FI strategy and if the Aztecs reach IV successfully without taking too much damage they have one of the best comp...

Re: Iroquois Discussion Thread

I don't think iro FI is viable, because unlike e.g. dutch you can't really boom well while you turtle and even once you get to age 4 you can send 4 cannons 16 toma and 1800res and that's basically it. On the other hand i think that going IV with iro is a good idea in other situations because light ...

Re: china general strategy

China age 2 is usually fine against age 2 play (unless you're against a great age 2 civ like India, Russia, Otto, Brit, Japan) but it's not very scary. Thus most of the nilla civs can safely age to fortress, and then you have no counter to skirm and falcs. France, Iro, Aztec are great in age 2 too....

I wouldn't say this community is any more toxic than any other community really, it's small so you can't really be toxic, you meet these people all the time anyway.
