Re: Age II time for Japan?

It depends a lot on the crate start, 300w start is much faster and you can also have +100f. It also depends on how many vils you put on the wonder, and on if you keep constant vil production or if you get a bit of idle tc time to age up faster. But usually I'd say the fastest age up you can get (wit...

Re: Amalgamation — worth it?

Yeah in team games you should definitely research it even in colonial. Unless you're rushing/getting rushed ofc Considering you have steel traps, placer mines and the 1st wood upgrade, the cost of amalgamation is worth 360 gold. You're gathering gold at a 110% rate without amalgamation and at 130% w...

Considering you have steel traps, placer mines and the 1st wood upgrade, the cost of amalgamation is worth 360 gold. You're gathering gold at a 110% rate without amalgamation and at 130% with it, which means (solving an equation) that you need to gather at least 2340 gold if you want amalgamation to...

Re: Cheaters blacklist poll

You're right; that's overly presumptuous on my part. What you are saying, however, is that the need for a black-list exists unless cheating on EP is absolutely impossible . It follows – at least for this purpose – that anything below one-hundred per cent is equal to zero per cent. I'm sure you can ...

Re: Cheaters blacklist poll

For one thing, cheating being possible on EP is news for this release.
For another, no one said anti cheat is worthless. I'm just saying that anti cheat doesn't give full protection so even on EP you need to be aware of who's cheating, thanks to a BL.

Re: Cheaters blacklist poll

from my understanding map hacks are done by placing multiple permanent spy glass abilities around the map. Is there a way (like on ELO) to catalog how many spy glasses are used in a game? ElO records so many stats, is this something that can be added to the statistical analysis? Afaik that's only t...

Re: Samwise12 French Build

You don't start with 2 military buildings if you rush for TPs Well, it seems like it would be a sensible option if you want military superiority over the Trade Route. Nah, if you rush the TP line it means you're going to have an age 1 TP or a transition TP, both meaning that the samwise build doesn...

Re: Spanish food control + wardog raids - 1v1 strat

Well he might have sent the age 1 card that improves his explo + his dogs, but realistically his dogs will only have +20% hp and attack and that shouldn't be anywhere near enough to kill vils if you micro a bit. Or maybe he'll kill 1 (sounds unlikely though) but it's not even worth sending a card an...

Re: Spanish food control + wardog raids - 1v1 strat

But war dogs have a negative multiplier against vils ? I mean, if you really don't do anything they're gonna kill vils yeah, but it shouldn't happen, it takes so long. Also vils have themselves a *2 multiplier at range vs dogs and a good 10 melee attack, so you should kill them np without even needi...

Re: Portuguese Discussion Thread

Tbh I think people might just rush age 3 too fast with ports, I don't see the point of having 3 tcs most of the time, especially since you're likely to lose your 3rd tc / not be able to place it to take map when you (semi) ff. Ports age up with a very weak (13 to 14 vill) eco, which means any strate...

Re: Samwise12 French Build

Well this brings up the question, when was the samwise 5 musk 5 huss build ever good? I mean if you push with 5 musk 5 huss you will lose cost effectively to units+mm, and if you wait until you have enough mass to push into mm, at that time the TP would have paid for itself already. Well I guess ba...

Re: Portuguese Discussion Thread

It's not even about the cheaper vils being ugly or not, it's just that it makes ports too strong. Ports already got a huge buff called esoc maps, they maybe don't need an extra buff as big as 80f vils. Maybe just a small cassadors buff + cassadors combat in age 3 would be enough to make it balanced.

Re: Samwise12 French Build

If you are staying colonial why precisely would you not go for either TPs or two military buildings? I fear garja might be right with that statement. Why would you need instant rax + stable ? Most of the time you can afford sending cdbs first because you don't need to mix super early. Also building...

Re: Samwise12 French Build

700w 4v > 4v 700w regardless of what building or units you're going to produce. 4v 700w makes zero sense. If you stay colonial and need 700w you just send it first. Same thing for 700w 3sw. 700w 3sw makes sense, because without early TP germany needs to chop an extra 200w during transition if you w...
