Does anyone agree with me and queen about a no nats map? Nah, way too slow paced. Depending on map size, they can be dragged out for quite a long time Wouldnt it be fine having one map where matches last longer and are exhausting? Yo gotta work on your endurance, lasting only 3 mins is not gonna ge...

Might be a bit ugly, but you could give Otto 400 population, multiply all of their units pop cost by 2, but only 1,5 for abus (making them 3 pop). You can give them a free tech at TC that makes all TC's and houses support 20 population. I think this would work fine, only problem would be if the Otto...

I think it is important that maps (both 1v1 and other) bring variety and offer different strategies. There are imo quite a few maps that could be good in 1v1 with just a few tweaks. I've listen some I believe have potential, but all of them could probably use a bit of work on resource distribution, ...

2) I disagree about building rotation being included. I know that this is a controversial point within the community, but I actually strongly disagree with the sentiment that "It adds another line of depth to the game with regards to base defence and simcitying": If anything, I think it a...

Well I'll do my best to explain the changes so that they hopefully make a bit more sense. General: The art and tower build limits were not nerfing something that was OP. They were nerfing a play style that people did not like playing against or know how to counter properly. With any civ (India has ...

I don't like most of the treaty changes either. Why remove the limit on hc/rockets/bombards and make tower limit 7 again? Fine if you want port, france, dutch etc to have 7 towers, but there is most certainly no need to give ger and britt 7 towers again. Also what's the reasons for changing France? ...

I've never seen "no tower" rule in TAD I have, but they are more like "no towers close to hm before treaty ends". Mainly seen on ori or in 1v1 since on small maps or in nr55 towers then can shoot past hm killing units on the enemy's side even before the fight is supposed to start.

What Howling described has very little to do with deleting pillars. The "glitch" he describes is in effect no matter if there are pillars present or not, as long as the segments are in touch with each other. This glitch i think very few know about. That you should attack pillars in walls, ...

Your cas are mostly spread out in a fight due to theur low range. Just play as russia vs france and you will notice how long it actually takes for even 10 cas to kill a single gendarme. Russian musketeers doesn't exactly kill them fast either. So blocking with a few musk and your strelets and let C...

Gichtenlord wrote:I prefer strelet/ca, too, but its quite bad vs cav flanks on your artillery.

CA are fast and mobile so they can block too, and you can always spam 5-10 musk instantly to block as well. So shouldn't be that much of a problem.

How to win FFA: Less or equal to 6 players; Pick iro, rush your enemies. You won't encounter any opposition before you reach the 4/5 enemy. More or equal to 6; make a straight treaty 40 boom combined with wall spam, and hope no1 rushes you. Then you beat every remaning player with your superior trea...

@dicktator_ and @Gichtenlord
Btw, even though I disagree with you, i find it interesting and educational to discuss things like this and to read your views on the matter. I always appreciate a good discussion.

Also china with their 2700 cowing eco can easily delete vills for a massive overpop, especially off Andes. This alone can easily make up for any weaknesses in wood/anticav/etc With China's slow training off Andes you need a VERY large and safe fb to be able to maintain unit production fast enough, ...

I feel I do very well with Ottoman because of years of playing. I just need to do Half Map wall. I will host games with 20 min treaty but 45 nr. If you really like the hm walls and no running, you should try nr55 Orinoco. Quite a few players play that, and even though the treaty and the restricted ...

I think Port also needs more wood to start, and a bit more coin too. Atm i have almost the double amount of food as i have coin after i've made my army and uppgrades. I also need to put vills to wood just to be able to get all upgrades done. Imo you should only need to put vills on wood if you plan ...

Wihtout any nats spain gets completely destroyed. If you argue about a match up where nats are involved and a small amount of trees on the map aswell, then spain cant just spam nats aswell and when they are out of wood, they gonna lose. There is a reason why spain only loses vs civ whcih have a sup...

China can compensate their lack of wood with rattan shields, consulate armies, disciples and 2 explorers in cover mode bug. That should be enough to win vs spain and japan is not good on RE heads up. I agree that China might win vs Spain if you play no nats. But most maps have nats, and Spain can s...

France->China->all other civs Not completely true. France > all other civs in any fight on any map (water doesn't count). China is only 2nd best on Andes, maybe ori too, but even there some civs are favoured vs China, like Spain and Japan (even if they in turn gets beaten by some civs that would ge...

Well idk how strong/weak otto is on Vanilla. But in TAD, they are 1 of the weaker treaty civs. No doubt about it, at least on higher lvl of play.

I've been trying 1v1s in hopes of ranking up but I just lose game after game, been trying Ottomans which I've been finding easier to play, but every single 1v1 somebody is either Russian, French, Iroquois, or Japanese and I get smashed, only time I do ok is if they're none of those civs or also Ott...

You should as good as always use some skirmishers. The question should be if you should use rodeleros or musketeers. Gichtenlord answered that question well. If your musketeers had same/better hp as your britt mate, then your mate was doing something wrong. British musketeers should have 405hp and S...

The skill varry a lot on your lvl, so getting good team mates are just up to luck. I would therefor suggest playing mainly 1v1 untill you got your rank up a bit. Some other tips concerning your own skill: 1. Stay with one civ (port/german are just fine) until you reach at least master sergeant. 2. R...

They would need to be nerfed ALOT. And it is still true what Gichten said, it won't fix the mu's where Otto suck. But it will help them quite a bit in their already decent mu's (ofc depending on how much they are nerfed).
