All tad civs broken

[Kaiserklein]

Tad civs aren't necessarily OP, but they're rather annoying. Like soldier mentioned, they don't need much mapcontrol, which is really bad design imo. Plus they all scale really well and can turtle like crazy, it's kind of dumb. But they also have bad sides, like aging really late, having quite bad artillery, really easy to scout because of wonders and consulate, etc.

[Warno]

The only thing that's never really made sense to me is that India gets a Musketeer, Lancer, Skirmisher and Dragoon unit in age II.
Other than that I think the TAD civs are pretty balanced.

[Mitoe]

India doesn't really scale all that well to be honest.

[Hazza54321]

India doesn't really scale all that well to be honest.

it does mid game

[Darwin_]

Japan and india can do anything well and also scale very well, though they're slow.

Kaiser and Soldier not liking asian civs. Oh, I wonder what is the reason hmmmm
Tad civs are nice refreshment to make games remain different as nilla civs are all quite similar in the end (and very limited options).

India apparently overtook Iro with 56,28% to 56,25% objectively confirming its statistically proven gayness.
/sarcasm

i have been playing a lot lesser than i used to and india's my main. hence the rise in the numbers

jkjk i'd give my opinion on the matter but i play so less anyway that i dont want to spend gray matter on it

[TNT333]

Only in treaty imo cuz u have japans daimyo samurai, Chinas incredible eco and India's elephants

Elephants are probably worse in treaty than in sup.

Aside from saying that TAD civs are more forgiving which is absolutely true you can't say if their design is better or worse because it is a matter of taste. What is objective and should be clear to everyone is that this game is balanced separately for each expansion, with TAD in particular being very different.
Competitive play should be based on that and should consider split events with only within expansion civs.

[Kaiserklein]

Well mapcontrol is one of the most important aspects of this game, so a civ that almost doesn't need it is poorly designed imo.

[Garja]

I don't like the design either but low emphasis on map control makes for longer and better games among TAD civs.

[zoom]

Actually, I believe most players would agree the TAD culture civs are the best-designed civs in the game.

Go back to Russia, with your ESOC-LGTB propaganda!

[Theodore]

I think the ensemble studios stats are updated:

There Russia is top civ with a with % of 54.4. Interestingly enough, China comes 2nd.

It's a pity the stats from jpcommunity aren't updated as the civ 1v1 table is much more helpful than the general win%-

[Theodore]

japan is used a whopping 31% though, what makes the win % actually quite impressive!

[Jerimuno]

Huh how is 49,71% impressive?

[GiBthedurrty]

Huh how is 49,71% impressive?

lol

there might be an error in my thinking, but I think japan (like brits) is rather difficult to play. a win% of almost 50 across all games played (all skill-levels included) is quite good then. I mean look at brits.

[[Armag] diarouga]

Russia is top civ Kappa
Caria knew it!

[Mitoe]

That includes team games though

[WickedCossack]

Lol I believe something has gone wrong there.

Japan has been used 15,941 trillion times ... ?

Works out at about 4 trillion times a day over 11 years. Didn't realise aoe3 was that active.

I am not a good player. But i mean brit requires hunts and japan dont.

Even Piroshiki can't match those stats with spain
