I am starting to have some fun with this age 2 Dutch: Skrim Huss play

Pretty good game vs sweden

Had a pretty clean game vs Russia, example of why you need to build strelet and not musk in this match up

I really like aitch but hazza is so familiar that I voted hazza and so now I am having an internal crisis and I keep checking this thread every 10 mins. Conclusion: People will get used to which ever name you pick. It will have that same familiar feeling within a few months. So if you like aitch mor...

From this information I can easily see pike getting LOS buff to 15 LOS That doesn't make sense. The only melee unit to compare it to there costs 2.5 times as much and had 1.25 times the los. A halberdier would be interesting to compare it to. It is 12 LOS for halberdiers https://ageofempires.fandom...

I would say this is more of a quality of life buff than a significant balance change.

I think pikes should have a lesser LOS than musk. Does anyone have the stats available, how much LOS do they have for musk pike hussar and skirm?

It's so that you would have to pay attention when marching troops in the darkness. If you wanna see incoming ashi counter-raid, scout ahead with 1 pike or explorer. Why are pikes unique in this? Why don't other units need to scout ahead? You could make that same argument for any units ranged or mel...

Technically Pikes are not a Dutch only unit

I am surprised at the amount of people opposing this. Does anyone who voted no care to share their reasoning? Much appreciated for the participation from everyone who voted! Yeah, sure. Dutch is fine. Just to be clear, this is what I think you are saying: “Dutch is fine they don’t need buff and tha...

Can someone tell me why pike have such low line of sight (12)? it really makes no sense to me. What makes me think of this is how hard it is to siege shrines safely with pikeman . Usually they end up getting gunned down by ashi.

Do you think Dev should buff line of sight on pikes?

Bump, are you still looking for more help?

I've created a fun build to use against Lakota, involving live stock and mercenaries.

Dutch didnt receive any buffs!

At this point I’m certain this card is going to get nerfed. Just a matter of getting it on the devs radar.

I've played this matchup a lot, and it is really not an easy matchup. Dutch can succeed but you really have to cope with the fact that you're going to be stuck in your base for a long time. A lot of the time I found myself needing to expand outside of my base with walls else my army just gets destr...

Hi I keep seeing people say that Dutch is very strong vs Lakota, and I believe them. But every time I play against a decent Lakota player, I manage to survive the early game, and when I try to leave my base, everything goes wrong. So I am looking for VODs, recordings, and advice that will help me id...

So there were a couple units compositions between the games: 1) Skull Knight + Slingers + coyote runners 2) Mass eagle runner knight, I know skirms should should counter them but they would just chew through my mass of 50 skirms One big problem I noticed with my game play is fighting when I am not a...

Sorry let me elaborate in original post, when I get some time to calm down and watch replays

I only play dutch

I think I suck at this game, I am so frustrated. I just played 2 40 minute games vs aztec where I have a 20000 score lead vs the aztec players and I cannot end it and I just end up losing because my masses keep getting wiped over and over. I really need help though, I can never beat a good aztec pla...
