In treaty you get those every game if you’re playing germans :>

You tell him markus!

Not really, because you probably don't have time to focus fire like I did in treaty, and the units are more split.

please stop lol

HAHA

Seems good, I'll try it sometime. But don't you have trouble defending the HC? If you try to hit and run with goons the cannons will get exposed. Also I don't know how useful Genitours would be in this case.

Melee cav, goons and culvs are the only things which are dangerous for your heavy cannons. 20 range goons just kill every of those units.

Yet more evidence of treaty being the superior game mode.

[Snuden]

I prefer to play with finesse rather than brute force.

Yea, 20 range goons can snipe culvs. If you have enough goons, hand cav is irrelevant since it all dies before it reaches hand combat, so goon is the only threat but they take ages to kill HC. That's what dick tried to do in this game but if he doesn't come with his lb, he'll lose like 10 goons for one heavy which isn't worth, and if he snipes the HC with goons while attacking my goons with lb, this is what happens

Ok fine, I thought you guys were scrubs

These are also @boneng 's favorite units viewtopic.php?t=4021#p97873

"Everyone knows that blowing infantry to shreds with heavy cannons is the most satisfying way to win." ~Boneng

[P i k i l i c]

Sure, and Lil' Bombards are even more enjoyable imo, but that's not realistic option

Man I miss Boneng

brit can actually set 2 factories on rockets to counter jinete and heavy cannons.
rockets have less hp, but they train faster than HC, and do 100% damage to cav (while HC do 50% only).

[fei123456]

and brit has a OP age 4 card (what's its name lol) to spam vills from all 20 manor houses.
they can actually boom faster than water port, having 99 vills in no time. then 2 factories on rocket, then all the eco and military upgrades. fully upgraded british goon and rockets can do well against jinete+HC.

[Garja]

full goon also does well vs goon and HC

[dicktator_]

Yeah, I was surprised when he would run his goons into my army to snipe the culvs, but the goons he lost it ended up being more than worth it because of the hc volleys he would get. Also, it's true that units are more spread out in treaty but there's definitely time to micro artillery to skirms.

[Hazza54321]

Not that well but ok, 4 range matters

[dicktator_]

Also heavy cannons do decent damage against goons. Though pure goon still probably would've been better than what I did.

3 Lil bombards dor 2000c, that's why too expensive.

Haha these volleys are insane, even bigger than mine because his units were stacked.
Anyway, sniping 2 culvs costs like 5 goons, while the HC kill 20 lb, it's totally worth it.
