Greatcoat rant

[Imperial Noob]

75f. Cheaper than 1 musketeer. Seriously. If it saves one vill, it has paid off.

And yet players, even in top games, often do not research it. I cannot comprehend it.

Some not only do not research it by default, but do not research it when sneaking vills into far eco locations, when raided, when besieged in their base, when tanking with vills...

Somehow everybody remembers to research hunting dogs, train vills, or explore the map. Why not this then?

[I_HaRRiiSoN_I]

I think you've been watching too many game casted by that guy called Harrison I think

[Mr_Bramboy]

I never get it. I can spend that 75f on 3/4th of a musk.

[aligator92]

yeah it has to be the most cost effective tech in this game

[Mitoe]

If I upgrade my vills that just makes it harder for my opponent to free up some of my pop space in a time of need. No thanks.

[Riotcoke]

I still never get it, doesn't fit into any of my build orders.

[RefluxSemantic]

I always forget it. You definitely don't want to get it early, and then I forget.

[Kaiserklein]

You kinda don't want to get it until you have to move vils out of base, unless you're really getting pressured. 75f isn't much (and yes it's a great upgrade) but getting it too early means you may get, say, 1 less huss out in a batch, and that can be impactful. Then yeah later we sometimes forget about it.
The nat/asian vil hp isn't bad either though. The combination of great coat and blunderbuss for cheap can totally be worth it when punching cav raids or defending a rush.

[Sargsyan]

i don't get the asian/twc upgrade because then you can't herd as animals die in one shot and your base looks like that of victor_swe

[Zutazuta]

I think what we've agreed on is that this tech can make or break your entry into swehood!

[iNcog]

great coat is a loom wannabe

[princeofcarthage]

God, someone asks genuine advice/question and 70% of esoc jumps in to troll. Not expected this from Mitoe, thnx Kaiser for great reply.

[n0el]

swe tactics aren’t trolling.

[iNcog]

what' wrong with a good bit o fun

What's wrong with trolling? Don't start attacking our culture.

It's a great tech, but a situational one. Usually I don't get it to save resources unless I know I will be rushed like crazy.

I think you should relax

It's a rant, I think humour is a great response.

When playing Brits I usually research it from my 500f when aging up with food crates, otherwise I research it when building houses with 700w. On my level it's better to research it a minute too early and miss a musk, its almost always worth it.

[iNcog]

I think great coats is always worth it. No matter how high of a level the game is being played at, villagers always die. if 75f insurance saves even one villager, then worth it.

There is a time to get it obviously and perhaps you don't get it if you need to get that 5th hussar out or something. however it should be researched every game

[Victor_swe]

I usually dont get it for same reason as mitoe. Specially not as Otto since no Matter how many fkin Willys you lose they just keep coming. Dont wanna delete my tc bbut that might be next move.
I didnt know The asian ones improved attack vs herds.... Definitly gonna start using that upgrade more. Tnx

[Squamiger]

i never get it bc im too pro to ever lose villies

[vividlyplain]

hey pro, come bashme

[noissance]

blunderbuss is a must against japanese players on RE, but i rarely see anyone get it! kill all the hunts you can't herd (either as france or with cdb treasure)
