Duality of Man

Lakota will be so interesting to play now, unfortunately I think the loss of vil cards will be painful. Really painful.

Also those Italy cards, mmm.

What unit types do you usually make based on a given enemy composition? I'm finding pavise/huss or pavise/musk awkward to macro because the two main units need different resources. Lately I've just been going musk/huss which is boring but lets me focus more on one or the other as needed without hav...

This guide is meant to help out players ease into Italian game-play without overwhelming with detailed Build Orders, given how those are still being decided upon. Italy is an extremely interesting and demanding civ to play, and one that can be quite rewarding if played to their strengths. It enjoys ...

the merchant republic change make sense to me since malta and italy had a very crowded age 2 deck often and it just eats into the slot, now its arguably more flexible

Except Marco Polo was moved into age 2, that being a very useful card in team games especially.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Streamers bming are responsible for other players bming?

Normalization by the members seen in high regards.

I think you're overselling most units here. Zenata I would agree that they're overtuned, but the rest are fine if you keep in mind the slow training, oftentimes requiring specific cards to use them. Albanian Stradiot is a generalist that can get away from poor trades and run to NATO safety from a ra...

When you kill it gives 35f. Dont ask me why

AOE2 reference likely. Could be interesting to see explored beyond treasure guardians


Also, you two desperately need some hoes

Lombards rather than being a profitable building it helps a lot for macro you can just have wood without having any vills rather than selling at market and getting wood if you have any res excess just invest in lombard so it's actually more worth as chopping wood is costly Indeed. I would consider ...

Tried a 3v3 queue like some 3 hrs ago 15mins still not a game found clearly majority of ppl are playing singleplayer/campaign/lobby games and only few like say 200 are doing ranked maybe or even less out of 4k ppl online lol What ELO are you? I am hovering around 1450 ELO(tho i pick 2v2, 3v3, 4v4) ...

ESOC having a normal one.

Just to double down on my point about the stupidity of matchmaking. https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/789162788177051698/980956333631209502/unknown.png?width=1168&height=657 So I got matched with literal 2400 elo premades, versing 900 elo premades. HOW?! And that 0 ELO gain, just to rub s...

I have only just realised Italy has like 3 unit upgrade cards (2 are specific to the pavisier), like in a drawn out situation I feel like Italy really struggles I found that Bersaglieri maxed out are on par if not slightly better than French Voltigeur for only 10 gold more, so it doesn't appear as ...

[mention]u11190[/mention] I don't see anything wrong with the architect analysis. He calculates the number of VS for e.g. a house at 200 plus the build time for a total of 210 VS, then divides by the architect build time (80s) to get the result of 2.6. That is to say you would need 2.6 vils to gath...

Very interesting, and would prove useful for determining usefulness of either unit. Granted, I have a few remarks about your methodology. You add the resource cost of each building into the total time needed to construct a building. While I understand that you want to account for the fact that the b...

oh yes, how could I forget the maphack card or the retroactive treasure doubling. or the tank. or teleport buildings. I know the units and eco on these new civs are largely nothing special, but the absolute disregard for any existing dedicated decent players is weighing on me. I've never been a top...

Quite a big croissant, ain't it?

Shout-out to @Maxyking25 for our team games and this gem :)

I wonder how well this card works, anyone tested it?

From my experience, it doesn't

Maybe you could delete the church twice and rebuild it? I'm not sure the challenge isn't available to me.

Thankfully this works. TYSM

is this even possible? I can't seem to find any civ which can build 3 of them, even with cards. Closest i could find is Italy with their Basilica card, assuming it works. malta can with the 2 church card age 1 Thanks! Tho this would mean that the challenge is locked behind DLC, is it not? :?

Age 3 Pavisieri are still fairly usable, and in age4 we are likely expected to transition to Bersagliere and the trumpet spam. Id consider siege resistance to be actually quite nice in cases where stagger mode doesnt spread out your units. The splash damage is minimised a lot. Plus if youre versing...

I think 5v and less crates was better for Italy. Pavisiers definetely need the guard upgrade and possibly one more base damage upgrade. Right now the unit is simply not abusable at all even with full ups. And btw the multiple resistance mechanic is terrible. Siege resistance is basically useless (i...
