Aside from the Thoroughbreds card for France, I have yet to find one modified feature in TAD that I did prefer to its Vanilla counterpart.

TPs being 50w cheaper really benefits France. They are also a top treaty civ because of Fur Trade.

Which really makes me sad because having TAD with no Asian civs is my dream :D

Community seems to have plenty of players, I''m located in the U.S. and usually see about 1,300 people on in the afternoon which drops to about 600 late night. This is on week days, weekends I see more.

Is it still alive after all this time?
Very much alive, this website seems to have pulled a lot of people together by hosting larger tournaments. It seems like the more "pro''s" are on the larger the community is, i.e. more active when a tournament is going in.

How is the balance?
Balance is what you would expect. Iro/Otto are horribly broken, many people won''t play against them. Strong civs include India/Brit/Japan/Sioux etc. Mid tier civs below them have a fighting chance depending on map etc.

It seems reasonable to me as long as you''re not coming back expecting a truly balanced game. It doesn''t receive patches any longer thus it is what it is.

I''m by no means an expert, this is just my personal experience.

Look man I'm gonna be the one guy here to be real with you. Aoe3 ain't what it used to be. Na man I'll just come right out and say it... Aoe3 sux hard now... At least compared to what it was. The pro community is super narrowinded . The noobs are all laggers ad drop hackers. Sometimes it's hard to get a game and often everyone is too bitch to play a considered unfair Mu or higher rank all that said its still worth playing because it's still a great game.



Btw Whoever says cav gets too raped by xbow should try to ride a horse with no armor and a hussar uniform and take a xbow bolt to the chest. See what happens. I'm pretty sure just one bolt will take u out of commission. So frankly I really don't see like what is it 20 Xbox shots to kill one un Armored horsemen as that unreasonable

There''s a difference between testing a strat and realising it isn''t viable and thinking a noob all in is good even after people explains you why it is bad.
