Re: Ottoman Card TopƧular is Unacceptable Buffing Falconets

So what? Ottoman is designed as artillery civ so it should have better cannons. In aoe2 there are Celts with tanky siege weapons, Korean with long range catapults, mongols with fast rams... Many of which doesn't even need a tech Or a shipment. Why don't you complain about that? It's specifically be...

Re: Horn is not a competitive map

Let's say map would be ok if:
- no islands
- no wood trickle treasure
- only 2 salt mines in the middle
- no OP catamaran with OP pets
- no lvl 3 land treasures next to the coast

Then again it would basically be another map.

Re: Hakkapelit has been overnerfed

Hakkas simply can't kill pikes, think that says enough.

Also ffs remove Dnpr Basin from the standard pool. The map has 4 tin mines and then a gold mine which is 1 minute away from every other location in the map. Also in aoe3 having a river for boats is no bueno.

Re: Hakkapelit has been overnerfed

Well ye the design just doesn't work anymore. Now it's just a dragoon with low range and worse multi vs cav. Also penalties against the units it is supposed to do better against compared to goons.

Re: Hausa age up option

Tbf 300w was the best age up anyway, just other age ups had trend strats.
You can try and spend influence by using the 200 influence travois and build a 2nd rax or a TP and go stagecoach. In fact with this age up I don't think you want a university for influence but rather go for TPs instead.

Re: PUP January

tbh if they are gonna add board time to ships, they should add it for ALL units that are trying to board it, and not just the artillery alone. No, why? The point of adding it for artillery alone is because it can be abused. Get a shot off, hop into the ship again, rinse repeat -little counterplay i...

Re: PUP January

Another non balance related thing that came to mind is: revert the mechanics of attack move to legacy status. Units moving to point after the kill is incredibly annoying.

Re: Hakkapelit has been overnerfed

Yes the range card is the only good one and possibly kinda broken in design. +10% atk and only +2range would be more reasonable keeping all musk units within the 14 range threshold. Hakkas stats are mostly fine except for the range which is unbearable since dragoons in general already have hard time...

Re: Hakkapelit has been overnerfed

It's Sweden eco that makes old hakkapelit imbalanced. Carolean is a bad musket too, but Sweden can mass them like strelets. I'm not sure where you got the idea that caros are bad cause they are probably one of the best musks if not the best. They have to be good cause Sweden doesn't have skirms. Ca...

Re: Hakkapelit has been overnerfed

What about more hp instead? HP is not the problem, plus is the least relevant stat for the goon purpose. The problem is that the unit can't kill cav well while kiting and it also costs more than goons while being worse. You are way underestimating how good ranged area effect damage is, especially i...

Re: Sweden Jaeger semi FF

Well yes, there is less power advantage compared to a build with the church tech. But still, this simple build has tempo plus decent eco and units. Unlike other civs, Sweden has torps on the map autogathering coin as well as 3+2 mines from cards to replace them. Also Sweden has free access to advanc...

Re: Divine strike

I didn't know it for a fact but I always go melee on guardians when they are stunned both in the hope of increasing the chance of divine strike and also because it is safer (harder to get spotted/get stolen). Aoe3 wiki apparently confirms it Keep in mind that melee attacks are faster, and will thus ...

Here a quick strat for FFing with Swedes in a similar fashion to the Spanish halb FF. The basic card order is 3v | 700c | 4torp | Church card | etc. The BO is TP+torp start, 1torp + 150w (for church) in transition then just all vills to food for the age up and the halb tech.

EDIT: it came to my attention (yes, I'm nub) that Sweden always start with Jaegers and Black riders at the tavern. This makes the guide in part obsolete. Instead of using the church tech or the jaeger card, now it makes more sense to just build a tavern from the 700w card and train Jaegers from the...
