From my experience 5 rifle riders can molest 2 falcs ezpz in early fortress, even if spain has pikes and musks and 5 skirms. Even if you trade all of 5 the rifle riders for the falcs, what's the follow up for spain? Not sure.

Suggestion: Improve the Garrochista Lancer's unit skin like we did for Besteiros and Carabineer Ruyters.
Reason: Improve game readability.
Lancer: Garrochista: New Garrochista from the Japanese consulate:

I think sioux should be able to hold the ff even with an evening star timing and then age, as long as spain doesn't scout it and make a ton of skirms before pushing.
This MU might be harder for spain imo.

Dutch. You already have the quartermaster and exiled prince unlocked with them.

The thing is that you generally use the tower to get the wood you need for villages, since once you hit III with china your population goes stonks.
The war academy isn't a bad option but if you can get away with the tower it's better, also because crows have low range in age3.

It’s not -30%. It was -30 resources which was on average equal to about 6% discount on banner armies which sucks. In EP7 it’s going to be -15% therefore i expect to see more variety in the consulate choices, especially because of the different start china is going to get.

Hi, sorry for the late answer. You can refer to this thread where you'll find the instructions to create a new account, i believe.

I wouldn't include royal mint either. Usually you want to finish the game before you have to transition to plantations.

Well, it's a bit harder to extract masterpieces of this level from them. Not impossible though! Breezebrothers might know something about it.

Changed the title anyway, because we want to keep our magazine minor-friendly.

You can see it that way too! You see, it's a bit of a love/hate relationship.

The two gentlemen ready up for a game of Age of Empires 3 Two teams are opposing each other: Indians, Portuguese and Japanese against Dutch (italian 1), Japanese and Sioux (italian 2).

I think another shorcoming of this test is that there are "only" 16 types. If you get these results I 90% 10% E N 90% 10% S F 20% 80% T J 20% 80% P you'll have the same "phenotype" as someone who got I 51% 49% E N 51% 49% S F 49% 51% T J 49% 51% P But the difference between the t...

I assume gibson won because he uploaded. But infact, if the game lasted 25 mins Greatscythe has overperformed and gibson underperformed hard which makes Greatscythe winner.

Attack moving when you're not in range yet is actually better because you'll overkill a lot less

Reviving this thread because i have done the test again recently and i got slightly different results from the last time. This time around the result was INFJ, whereas in the past i got INTJ and INTP. I think it’s really interesting to see how we and our values (or simply our perception of them) can...

The fact that they have the same unit skin and name is a bit misleading considering their different stats. A different name could be warranted, but it should still have “musketeer”/“halberdier” in it. Kaiser’s suggestion sounds alright.

Yeah i think you're right. Spain doesn't get a substantial benefit from the balanced maps as far as i can tell.

He is just running away in that clip, no pull trick

China doesn't have objectively the best eco, but it's definitely more than enough considering how cost effective chinese units are. They cannot get very greedy during conventional play unlike other civs, but that only means that they have to play in a specific way and they are totally fine if they d...

Prince finally embracing the coaching meme

Yeah chinese eco isn’t that weak. Keep in mind that in their typical FF they age with a 400f 4v wonder to colonial and 8v wonder to fortress. Their units are also mostly cheap, so their eco is relatively good. Chinese colonial is more awkward than actually weak. Staying age2 with china isn’t desirab...

AoE3 is a game where superior micro really wins fights sometimes though...
I agree with you in the sense that you can be a top player without using the pull trick, but sometimes being able to use it makes a world of a difference.
