Re: How to deny Map control as porto vs russia?

@Hazza54321 Can you really use ATP against Russia ? They can just take the stage coach can't they ?

Still a more interesting artillery war than the usual two falcs shot decided by random bug/freeze.

Re: '21 Guns'

if you can train two batches of Brit redcoats, maybe it would be possible to just delay this and get the 800 export batch of redcoats + 1 falc kind of early in fortress? that could b a fun cheese. OR, get the 800 batch of Russian units to get 6 coss and 1 culv, to really shut down a 2 falc push fro...

Re: '21 Guns'

Nice title and nice build. Given how China can struggle for anti-cav getting additional musks must be good. However if you don't need the first batch of musks asap to deal with an opponent timing, you would probably be better of using your 800 export for the Expedition force which gives you a falc. ...

Re: new game mode - age 2/3 lock

Bastion should be removed entirely, and its effect split between two successive upgrades, one in age 3 and one in age 4. Also the wall should be low and wide rather than tall and thin.

Re: new game mode - age 2/3 lock

Age 3 meta would be basically the same as in classical supremacy, except for some weird new civs like Mexico. I guess Ports and Japs would be nerfed too - ports can not win some MUs without going 4.

Basically the Kaiser stream playlist
Kaiser's playlist should be declared public property. It is so good.
Using Kaiser's playlist should be mandatory to have your stream displayed on esoc. Then I could watch Hazza's streams at last.

Re: Public Update Preview - February Update

The brits having the choice to go TP+Manor, two manors or market+Manor is great, I'm glad they nerf them in other ways rather than changing the crates start. More generally, changes that just make a civ a bit slower and harder to play are much better than changes that invalidates whole BOs. Nerfing ...

Re: I made a Chess variant inspired by AoE

My gut feeling is that the Queen is too cheap (bigger board+less pieces) but I've yet to play the game. Interested to see how this will play out. I think the problem with the queen might be that it is very hard to get, as even with black you can only get a queen and no other pieces with all three s...

flamethrowers are kinda like dopps or skull knights. A lot of the time they get kited and kinda don't do much, but if you get really good positioning and some good luck they are devastating units against infantry compositions Which will always be a balance problem, as those units are a real threat ...

Re: French is a civ that has no advantage

France doesn't get a boom but it has a great early game eco, great scaling, one of the best if not the best maxed out eco in the game, the best hand cav unit in the game, great skirms, good goons, two falcs shipments, musks in age 2... Basically no weaknesses in fact.

It works just like US council/Hausa university tech now. Reduce the TOTAL upgrade time, not the LEFT time.

Yeah I do the same with Consulate and training the 400e army, just double tap a hotkey. But these optimizations are mostly about comfort and won't necessarily give you +50 elo, considering that some of the best players in the game still queue skirmishers by clicking the skirmisher picture...

4.5 speed and 17 range sounds great if they have a quick shooting animation. You can totally kite with that while keeping most of the 1.5 rof, just need some solid micro.

Re: WW with artillery tag and double armor

Imagine if Germany had a good range cav unit instead of crappy WW. I'm sure it would be perfectly balanced.

We could also give falcs to Ports, skirms and goons shipments to Spain, skirmishers and fast age 3 to Brits ?
