AOE 3 Secrets, where to check?

[Artyfeusz]

First time I played AOE 3 about 13 years ago, every single year allows me to discover something new about this game, and i don't mean it in positive way.
For example last week i discovered that Musket Rider (iro cavalry) has bonus x2 against coyote runner (Thanks to wiki), yesterday i discovered that Iro farm fattens livestock slower than british livestock pen, until 3rd age (60/ min vs 76 / min for cow), and that Chinese village fattens livestock even slower (45 / min) and then it becomes faster in age 3 and then even faster in age 4.

What i would like to say, is that there is a lot of those "little things" that nobody knows about, and that's quite annoying. Like why we can't have it all written in description? Why i can't know that Musket rider has bonus vs Coyote by checking his ingame stats?
Somebody knows it somehow and I' ve read that there is some file where everything is written down.
Anybody has clue where can i find it? Or how can i find anything like this, without spending 20 hours checking every single detail?

It's in the protoy, techtreey, stringtabley (y=TAD) files in your game installation folder/data.

There's no shortcut to learn eg. the multipliers or units, you can read the files or aoe3-wikis or learn by playing hundreds of games and remembering at least the basic multipliers.

Note that all units with a multiplier vs heavy cavalry also have an appropriate multiplier vs coyote runners (who are effectively lesser-heavy-cavalry).

There are other hidden multipliers vs eagle runners, where abus guns, iron troops and bolas warriors have 1.5x (abus also has an additional 0.5 multi making them effectively 0.75 vs eagle runners) and all other skirms have 2x vs erks. You'll find all artillery including lil' bombards have 0.5x vs arrow knights. (Basically azzy just screws up everything)

Vils have a multiplier vs Artillery, and if you time it well you can cycle TC fire - Unload vils - vils fire a round - load vils in TC - TC fire without losing TC DPS

with cdb many ppl do this. It obviously requires a decent apm, and good mouse control. But I have never seen anyone do this with normal vills vs falcs. Simply because falcs are usually protected by an army, and not even in range for vills coming out of a tc to shoot at them.

Even with normal vils it gives you like 30 damage vs normal units in a pinch, plus it makes you look like a pro
