I had the same discussion with boneng but I simply disagree.
As port, going water on Hudson, Indonesia and Baja is just viable. It is not as japan, brit etc, not because you don't have enough fishes but because the wood is too far from the sea.

pecelot wrote:what about lb+huss? because honestly such a combination is impossible in 1v1, or am I missing something very obvious? XD
huss can tank the melee damage while lb can shoot from behind, and they're good vs hand cav as they have a lot of DPS

It's standard as brit vs azzy.

You shouldn't send 600w. The BO is 700w/2vels/ship upgrades vs a water push, that way you'll have good upgrades. Vs aztec you can't win a fair sea fight until you have full upgraded boats (with the shipment and the 400w/400g gold and the 350w/350g upgrade), so just build towers and send advanced doc...

Why lol. If you want to nerf the sea, nerf the freagates because they rape falcs. I don't think war-ships as such should be nerfed; "Off-Shore Support" and "Euro-Trash Cannons" home-city shipments should be nerfed and War Ship counters (defensive structures and artillery) buffed...

It's not even the point. It's just not safe to assume that you can defend your TP simply with 5 huss lol.
Also if he only does 5 pikes, 10 musk will iddle him as shit.

Jerom wrote:That would be great.

Not at all. You don't want to kill the water.

i prefer cav semi, if he sends pike for tps he has less at home, plus 5 huss>5 pike He will make 10-15. its usually 10 right?, if he sends 5 pike for tps u go kill the pike with some micro, if he sends 10pikes u go in his base and raid Taking a fight with 5huss vs 5 pikes isn't worth because you'll...

I dont like the shooting docks to be honest, it just annoys me. Then if you're going schooners and your opponent does 2 caravels 1st you've just lost the game? It's just stupid lol. I mean you can nerf the water if you want, but be smart then, removing dock shooting ability would kill any water boom.

Longbow cav archer would be better but longbow goon isnt terrible or anything. Hum lb/goon is better when you defend because you outrange him so if he pushes, he has to commit and fight and since it's in your town, you have the defenser advantage, but to push, skirm/goon is simply better because yo...

Because Starve is a joke.

Nice joke.

Maybe a casted 2v2 would be nice for tonight. I won't organise it though.

Last time I tried to do this it ended up in a drama xD.

1. No it's not, you have your cdb.
2. Yes it is lol, it's one TP or a stable.

sometimes brit would build fb and rush french... you can go 2 rax musk/xbow, but still, you should try to find a chance to age up. it's hard to fight under 2 raxes/1 tower. if he boom at home, you can try 2 rax musk into semiff (stagecoach maps) or cav semiff. Why 2 rax musk lol? brit has 2 rax and...

Explorer card is bad.

lb/CA is better because CA's weakness is that they can't hit and run so you can't abuse skirm/CA's mobility, but lb also have a noob animation anyway so you can't hit and run.

Well if an ff doesn't work than how do you counter a ff or a semi ff? I'm just kind of interested because I feel like Russia should be able to do more than just rush or mass in colo. On the RE you just can't deal with a semi-ff, that's why Russia was considered the worst civ (dutch are even worse t...

Why 2 rax musk lol?

He will make 10-15.

sdsanft wrote:But don't you want huss to raid and slow down his eco.

A high level player will train 5-10 pikes and won't lose more than 2 vills. But if you start cav, he will be able to contest your TPs.

Just wondering, why musk?

To defend the TPs.

Musk semi imo. And take the tps.
