Re: Coin upgrade for Iro/Lakota

Actually, it looks like the Tribal Marketplace at release cost 25w to build but let you gather coin 10% faster with no upgrades, but was later changed with the Knight of the Mediterranean DLC to be free and have a yield bonus instead of a gather rate bonus. what steps did you take to find this out?...

Re: Coin upgrade for Iro/Lakota

To be fair, the Tribal Marketplace does give you 21% yield on your mine. has it been like that the whole time? as in a gold mine lasts for 7k? If that's true I guess I can stop being mad at them every time I need to mine, just wish they would build 10X faster, still feels like quite a handicap. The...

Re: Current best rush?

Someone needs to test a Malta 3 rax rush since they only cost 100w, could go 5 pike 10 xbow, or 15 pike if possible. The Inca fort FF made me quit DE for the second time, then the African civs made me quit again on their release..... funny that these things are still op all this time later

Re: Current best rush?

Pretty sure that's the hazza build bc that's where I saw it first, but Garja wrote up an earlier adaptation of that too. I usually do the old school Aztec rush with ages up fast bow pike bc I age up sooner and have my warhut already placed forward and built, but recently I lost a mirror to a 1210 2 ...

Current best rush?

What is the current best rush? I prefer all in aggressive ones, but I also love a good timing. I like a rush that has good siege damage, especially some kind of bow pike. Mostly when I rush I use Aztec, Iro, or france 700/600w bow pike; I'm sure with the DE civs out there must be some better rushes ...

Re: esoc contestants and contenders: what will they win, will they win things? let's find out

I think Turk could win the whole thing if he plays like he did last series, but he didn't have to face a lot of DE stuff in that MU other than the Swe mirror, so I guess it depends on how well he can counter DE civs. Takes balls to agree to mirror matches like that with choice to counter pick, but m...

Just like to point out this card is a lot better than 3SW, it's not even close. This card is Eco Theory, Royal Mint, and refrigeration combined. Royal mint and refrigeration alone are age 3 cards, so why is this not an industrial shipment? This card is pretty disgusting in my eyes, and let's not for...

Re: Which civilizations players?

I play Aztec which is good on small maps, low recourse maps, and maps with good guardians to convert, but bad on long maps or maps with chokes where they can wall their whole base for 20 wood. Spain/French are good on maps with easy wood treasures, or maps with yaks the dog or scout can catch. China...

Another missing feature is the ability to look up a player (or see their medals!) and check out decks etc. This is also useful for adding people or when afk in a lobby and they spam 11 and you need to re invite.

Jaguars were fine before, they can revert that.

Aztec vs Dutch loss vs Revnak

I survived 20 minutes vs 2400 elo! I definitely made plenty of questionable decisions, I should've gone for arrow knights, I lost too much army for second bank, and maybe should've skipped towers for tc; going to age IV was the worst choice of all. It looked like he was fine the whole time, but I to...

Organs over buffed, the lock on makes them so deadly getting extra kills all the time, even worse than gattlings. You can't rush them, even though they are a boom civ. When they add walls cassadores RR gets a little obnoxious bc they can't be killed with hand cav, and they can hit age 3 pretty much ...

Re: Walls are Underpowered

walls give no kill xp which is bs, and make hand cav impossible to use, meaning they can get away with one unit type for 100 wood. They also make rushing 10X harder which is almost enough to completely deny an entire playstyle especially when combined with CM.
