It's more bm to put block houses on top of the town center radius.

Its definitely more bm to sneak villagers to other side of map to harvest resources unprotected.

I see minutemen vs villagers important for checks and balances for overly greedy builds.

So I was playing a game earlier today and I randomly tried sending minutemen since my treasures were so good I had the extra resources (I still got my banks up). I used my envoy and explorer to track his vilagers leaving his base and followed them. I pop minutemen rallied toward them, and got 2 vill...

Ive got some spicy russian games that I just uploaded. 3 Dutch - Russia being the most interesting in my opinion.

I was thinking of ways to buff Dutch (all I think really about :lol: ) that rewards skilled gameplay, without making them op or changing any of the matchups. This seemed like a nice quality of life change since Dutch is such a reactive civ. So there's my idea, what do you guys think? Not that any of...

You know what this thread makes me think... Dutch banks should provide population space. Name checks out. I guess lack of imagination as it's been said and these types of civs are more friendly towards new players? Seems like many people in this thread came up with nice small tweaks to make these c...

I hate Sioux so much, I decided to never leave my base and just go for South Africa Revolution.
I even sent 7 sheep age 1 and found a 3 sheep treasure.
Just watch the this on x3 speed if you are going to open it.

You know what this thread makes me think... Dutch banks should provide population space. Its actually crazy that Japan, Sweden, Inca, all have building that benefit them economically ( each building representing 1-2 vils gathering an infinite resource) while at the same time providing housing space....

Hi, I've played a few games vs Port these past couple days, and I've come across a build that I am completely stumped on how to counter. I play Dutch, so I guess I am looking for builds that Dutch can do Port goes for sheep age 1 does normal port stuff Town centers in base ... gets age 4 revolts and...

[mention]u513[/mention] maybe I'm reading this wrong but are you advocating for a TP every game? That's really only needed if you're up against super aggressive civs like Russia and need to get CM in transition. Usually it's best to save the wood crate for getting a bank in transition to 2nd. Hmm y...

Since Dutch is primarily a reactive Civ, I decided to make a flow chart to help me decide what build order to do.
It is incomplete and still being improved, but it can mostly get you to fortress age every game.
Dutch Flow Chart

I think one of the smartest changes that can be made to nerf shrine and torps is to significantly increase their exp for killing. Some thing like triple or quadruple the rate for a similar building. For example shrines right now are 48 exp, that could be increased to 100 exp or even 150 exp. The bea...

That's a really cool idea, btw I edited my earlier response as I wanted to express what I was saying more clearly.

[mention]u513[/mention] but that makes sense because their design has always been high HP and high melee attack, so you can't really have a unit like that be fast. Their role is strictly defensive, unlike changdaos or pikes. I agree with most of what you are saying, my original post is just pointin...

Interesting game, his anti Dutch build seems refined. If anyone wanted to cast a game, this would be an entertaining one!

Nice idea Papist To be honest the age up is still too weak, halbs still have fundamental problem of being too slow. In colonial the best option is to just walk away from halbs, and the only time the enemy cannot do that is if dutch is all ining the enemy base and sieging with halbs. Because halb sk...

it doesnt work for a 770 no matter what you do. I think the lowest confirmed card where you can get alpha to work that I know of is 970 now. It worked on mine, which was a 750 Ti.

[mention]u513[/mention] Are you based in The Netherlands? I've got a spare GeForce GTX 750 Ti that you can have. Used to run at around 40FPS (with the rest of my computer) on the lowest graphics, but the shadows worked. Thank you so much for the offer, I really appreciate it. Unfortunately I am not...

My first gaming in 1v1 Sup going for South African Revolution!

yea I have shadows on and the value set to multiple thing [50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, 100%] and it never works

What is the cheapest GPU I can use to avoid the Obscure Unit Alpha bug (where you can't see units behind building/trees)? Currently I am running a very old GPU (GTX 650 ti) I from what I understand the bug is related to GPU. Any help or advice appreciated! I do have shadows on and my value Obscure U...

I just post a bunch more Videos and recording, I recommend checking out my first dutch v dutch video, very interesting game

The main reason I did each matchup in its own comment is that I want the attachments(txt file and recording) to be grouped together in an organized fashion. When I put all of the recs in the same comment I don't know how to control the organization of it. Usually it is just what ever I uploaded firs...
