Alternatives to kami are not that great since you need shrines anyway for pop space. Russia is just tough client for Jap. Needs specifc counter builds and hope that Russia play isn't refined to the same extent. Possible counter builds are club rush with stable start (tori gate) to kill an aggressive...

Well I'd argue that too, since it wouldn't be the first time you recall incorrectly. And the fact that it was reverted because "it makes no actual difference, just adds another change from the RE patch" tends to confirm that ESOC patch top board it's not on point on real state of balance/ ...

It should be changed because 1) removes a design aspect of the game (need to send a card to fully exploit water boom) and 2) because it arises balance concerns since now every civ can water boom in the same way (especially with all warship nerfs). Simply put, current situation is not optimal. It may...

The main problem with 70w is that it makes schooner card useless, and that's a terrible change.
It should be 80w and 40w respectively for default and post-schooners cost. TAD card for fishing boats should be something in between.

Eh.
It was neither OP nor irrelevant. It was simply significant. And it adheres to the bonus of the civ.

I would be fine with just net and hardware usage improvements.

Well Idk. 255f was ok to me.

aoe2 is quite repetitive.

Ok. Well then we have to drastically reduce the effect of each teepee or put a max cap so that the total effect is never more than 30-40%. Anything more than that is completely retarded considering that age3 eco cards are 25% and Sioux is not even a boomy civ.

Is it a property of teepees?

What can't you do, unlock eco boost from card?

And Jesus Christ who keeps coming with those shit ideas, seriously. Teepees are indeed meant to make the TC safer, that's why Sioux don't have walls.

260 can't be divided by 3 with an integer as result.

Revert jan and abus nerfs and buffs. Apply a significant abus damage nerf instead.
Keep mosque buffs. Mosque tech card in age3 makes all techs cost free.

Rates will be nerfed ye. However I think the problem to me is that their design at the moment is a bit of a joke. They're supposed to be a nomadic civ but in fact they're one of the most campy. What about: - keep 5 vill buff - keep teepee range buff - keep cetan buff and BR nerf - "mustang"...

255f would be nice boost for Russia but it's not like they're that bad at the moment. It's basically the difference between making them decent and actually competitive (aka scary).

Well aoe1 pretty disappointing anyway to me. Aoe2 too tbh. Let's hope aoe3de will be cool and bring new people.

what's the point of 4k tho

pretty sure you can still lose by rushing at his TC. But otherwise ye just sepoy+cav and he can't do much.

What's wrong with market start? It just makes games more boomy, which is well within the boundaries of acceptable?
As for the bug spawn it happens 5% of times at most and just because current constraints are quite tight (to to ensure it spawns on the side or in front for both players).

To be fair it was a good trap. Like do you really want to sac falcs if you know you have the counter? From that angle even with manual micro he would prob have lost that battle.
Funny vid anyway.

This more like a straight FF + 5 tomas because you spare 500f anyway. Key point of this build is to age around 7 min to safely send 1200 res. That's where you get the wood for houses from. Also can buy 100w and chop 25w in transition to fortress to drop one house earlier.

In the Tibet game Kaiser chose a build that gets countered by 9 pikes semi. He needed atleast 10 cav so that those 9 pikes are pinned in base. Someone else suggested musk semi, which might also work, perhaps with musk/cuir/skirm/cannon into standard skirm/goon/cuir. Key point is that French must kee...
