Re: impossible MU ??

Its tough to interpret, it mainly shows that in average people plays spain against lower opponent except in some ez mu like spain port and spain dutch. At the contrary people need to have 1.5-2 pr margin against brit or china to feel confident enough ^^. Spain dutch ez win for dutch. I come from 20...

Re: Less Limited Post-Winter Balance Adjustments (EP8)

The entire point of the Mahout Lancer change is to help differentiate the unit's role from the Sowar's, and make it a more unique unit, while helping Indians in certain match-ups. Like many changes in the OP, it is a result of the recent balance poll, where a significant majority voted in favor of ...

Re: types of players - the china theory

To some extent you can do this split for all the TAD civs, aztec and lesser so Iro/Sioux. Maybe China is more stark. It's because each of the TAD/TWC civs are really unique and you have to put a fair amount of time into each one to be comfortable using at a tournament level. Whereas if you understan...

Re: Less Limited Post-Winter Balance Adjustments (EP8)

Agree with [mention]u2[/mention] & GS re Germany change. Maybe it's not the style of play everyone wants but I think it's generally agreed Germany is balanced-ish with this uhlan HP nerf. Even if you don't like the specific change I don't think anyone here is saying its unbalanced right? It's a ...

Re: Less Limited Post-Winter Balance Adjustments (EP8)

Oh wow this patch, could comment on so many things but I'll just keep it to one ... The mahout buff is pretty huge, and I’m pretty afraid of that one. I don’t see why it needs to be such a drastic buff. Just reduce the negative multiplier rather than reduce it altogether. The Mahout change overall s...

Re: EP Uhlan Hitpoints Poll

With the current balance set-up the huss break point seems pretty necessary. Otherwise TP first uhlan semis are going to back to dominating the huss semi civs like dutch, port, french and have the game on lock down before the age 3 reduction even comes into effect. Anyways from what I've seen German...

Re: Does EP German sacrifice too much for their free uhlans?

TO my mind, the biggest balance problem with this civ exist when you tp 1st. Why not put the price at 250w ONLY for this civ? I think for instance that french tp 1st vs german tp in transition is still quite fair no? Yea, this was the exact change I suggest 3-4 years ago in the internal EP discussi...
