Now that'd be funny if you could choose the gender of each villager you produce out of the TC. Like ES just randomly included that feature.

Even then it would make more sense to use the entire scale instead of half of it. With your interpretation, you are suggesting that 1 is the worst a civ could possibly be. Which is what, a civ that starts with 0 vills and no TC? Yeah or like a civ that depended on fishing and couldn''t gather wood ...

My first favorite civ was Aztec just because when I got the warchiefs expansion, I thought you could sacrifice villagers to boost your economy or military. I mean you do do that with them in a sense, but not as permanent human sacrificing from the top of a temple. And then when I saw you could do a ...

See that's part of the weakness of this format for determining tiers: different interpretations of how to use it. I saw it more as a scale regarding quality. Like Portuguese and Spain might be the weakest civs, but they're not so bad to the point as being nonviable as a whole for competitive play. I...

I think I was watching a cast for the Spring series by H2O and it was Garja and Boneng playing. They were set to play on the new Siberia map but it took them over 15 minutes to decide on a civ because Garja wanted to mirror match Boneng with Japan, and for some reason Boneng didn't oblige. (At least...

I really don't think some ppl understand how tier lists work. You'd mark 1 for a civ if Hell had a greater chance at freezing over than for them to win any match up. I'm pretty sure I didn't vote lower than 5 for anybody. I think if the votes were reprocessed so that any votes under 5 instead became...

but technically I am training dog soldiers by using XP to ship them. If I upgrade hunts enough I could even put more vills on the firepit for more XP gain. Also the market big button can pretty much be an exchange for 7 dog soldiers in age 3 without using the dog soldier big button. Anyway, you know...

it just makes me think Ensemble Studios designed Sioux to be half turtley, half raid just because of how tipis work. Also since Sioux can't build walls. You make a "spread" of tipis around war huts, then just make sure your war hut units never wander off too far from the tipi cluster. Have medicine ...

Ok these are a couple of my preferred Sioux decks though I've done way more experimentation than this. I doubt my decks are standard by any means. But for me shipments are more about having options available than thinking I'm going to be able to send all my cards by the end of a match. The first dec...

Btw teepees are op. I only wished they were mobile (but only give bonus when stationary) the bonus is insane, 10% for 50 wood, and it stacks... Yeah when I said the suck, I just meant that they have very little viability in a competitive game. Because as they are, where would you really want to bui...

you can't age up with Sioux with a farm option. Only Aztec has that. You can age up with bison + hunt improvement which is what I usually do along with sending farms.

Are you serious? You didn't know natives get hunt improvements through their farms?

Huh. I'd expect 2 admins to stay on topic here. ') Not that there was a lot more to discuss, or that there was already an engaging discussion. I don't think people understand for the most part why I send 2 farms. I DON'T gather from them. It's all about the build XP and the hunt improvements they gi...

I understand that about bow riders, I just don't like using them to be an all-purpose military unit. They're better off for hit and run tactics. Maybe it's something about them using a bow that makes them seem so impractical. At least when it comes to microing. Pistolero are best when you have other...

I... don't think ppl knew how to vote.

Since I am nub to competitive AoE3 I'm just going to talk about what I like to do, think is good strategy as a Sioux player. I'm mostly going to summarize different techniques, age up choices, and what's good or bad about Sioux. Anybody more knowledgeable feel free to correct, add to, or challenge m...
