haud is now ridiculous against ranged fire. My new favourite exploit- stack the somali armour tech onto beaver wars for 75rr mantlets. Yeah, that translates to 4x ranged hp or double the ranged hp of tad. Enjoy your 4000hp tanks vs ranged civs True, but their anticav is still pretty meh from what I...

You miss the Italian and Maltese buff.
Guess Italian barbary revo will be the new meta strat and lame everybody on QS

Unless I missed something, only noteworthy italian buff is the shipment XP cost reduction. It will definitely help a lot, but is it really that impactful?

Preface: sea bypasses aoe3’s entire dynamic balance/good gameplay mechanism which is natural res are good and farming is bad. So since walls which normally you don’t secure any map for yum natural res, you actually do on the water, get them faster, and then half of it is infinite, so walls break ga...

when you buy 300f 300w 300c for 3 papal lancer for exemple And what does that have to do with the xp penalty? XP penalty is only for the card progression. No clue, it's just the reason of that xp penalty, i guess they want us to use the basilica more which will happen less anyways I think interject...

Crabati kicking ass is actually rather historical, given how much they were sought after for their combat prowess :)

Thanks for your post! You can counter some players by knowing their playstyle. Did it happen vice versa? Did players counter you by knowing your playstyle? While I can't remember any specific cases, I did notice players relying on Musketeers A LOT when facing me as I played Lakota in team games, wh...

A few things that I wanted to share from my climb to top 500, and at one point even top 400 in team!

1. Everyone has their own strategy, and is hard to budge. You can either roll with it, do your own, or play with premades 2. People tend to be super toxic and prone to tilt. I don't understand why, but I had people ragequitting after I took their small treasure. 3. Premades are either garbage or god...

Old discussion, kinda. It's not game breaking, it takes skills, it doesn't directly hurt the opponent and it's even harder on DE because it seems they changed the behavior of treasure guardians (can't exactly manipulate the direction where they go) as well as maps being generally more crowded with ...

100c or 100f or sth more needs to remove from starting crates, all in rush too op and in some maps its just unbeatable. With some good treasures i had 29 unit pop at 6:20 and 21v, my eco not even that behind with this kind of army and im not the best lakota player or sth. Do you have a replay or BO...

For those unfamiliar, interjection has a good video about it.

Recently i took to completing the Art of War challenges, and found that to complete the Build Order one for a gold medal, I had to use it on the CDB guarded by wolves, letting me get it quickly enough to keep my eco up.

And hence, I raise the question, and wonder if the Devs ever thought about it.

Honestly feel like most players are playing Italy sub-optimally by focusing on lombard builds and Pav. Pav are marginally better than crossbows and don't scale into the late game (you shouldn't need to send 2-3 cards for a viable unit). The switching stances is too slow and doesn't give them a cav ...

Forget the fortress play. Semi-FI is the new OP meta for them. What you got from aging up: - 3 free Tokala soldiers, while the big button costs 2000 now (or 20 bisons and 30% hunting boost) - 21 infantry, and upgrade all your infantry into champions - 1000 coin 18 cheyenne riders that costs 3,330 r...

Hmm, good point. I'll need to try that out in my next game, tho the market teepee has been serving me well.

Didn't expect that they added a 200 wood start. Aggresive war hut start may be the meta.

On one hand you have a point, on the other you can easily get a 20% eco boost by going Teepee + Hunting dogs from minute 1.

god there are a lot of outdated strat xD

Hey, the Italy one is up to date, sorta

Personally, I find their cav strats to be more or less the same, if anything with a stronger start thanks to the guaranteed Teepee and Hunting dogs. You don't even feel the loss in vil cards TBF. And late game all the little changes add up quite nicely, especially the teepee ones if you get it up qu...

imagine thinking africa civs are overnerfed merc shipments are strong, right? Imagine a civ that can just send 7x merc shipments in a row, and they afford this without spending a single cent from their food/wood/coin bank, so they also make units too https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/62180627336462...

Uhhh, wat?

Ah there's still the old 3v card. But still don't see how the civ will be playable with 6 less vils. Basically you have to all in warhut rush, or all in ff into 8v follow up I guess. It's just weird imo your eco is really not that bad, you have great hunter which gives you food (12.5% ​​of food of ...
