I actually think I agree with this. I just don't dig the huss start.
you guys all shux. best start is musk start. and then you rekekeketekt with beterbed grenadiers. this is the nilla way, and the nilla way is superior. as @Aizamk can attest.

Grenadiers just tear through strelets and blockhouses. They usually have to respond by massing Cossacks and Brits can generally win that.
I feel like I beat your Russia (or Japan?) with that exact strat @JulyBurnsOrange but I haven't played in a while and am probably confusing you for another person I play a lot.
I hardly play Jaapn so it def wasnt that haha But i remember someone making grenadiers vs me once and being super confused haha cant remember if i lost or not tho, ill have to try that out tho soemtime! If nothing else, it can really catch a russiaan player by surprise.

That's actually pretty funny. Every time gua starts lb pike vs russia the whole community flames him
I'm pretty sure I used Musk/Gren against your Russia and nearly won but you held me off just long enough and came back. Looking through my gamelogs it looks like I beat @IntrepidExplorer with Brits vs his Japan using that strat. I got a little lucky, he club rushed me and played right into my strat's strengths.
often when u have a better cav mass u can go for a basetrade and cut off his cossack from killing ur villagers afterwards. his infantry mass might be better at that time but u will be left with a huge eco advantage and can slowly starve him

this works the first time tbh. but the 2nd game you play vs that person, he'll scout you in trans and see if you have vils on coin and just dodge you or use explorer.

I thought you were going to say to stop playing Brits and use Iroq and Otto instead.

I have too much pride to use those civs and lame my way to pr40 in quicksearch. I have no idea why you want to keep going down this rabbit hole but I like your determination.

yeah, pride is often the excuse people use so they don't have to try and ultimately admit to themselves they are lacking. Instead of saying you're too proud, just admit you know you couldn't do it even if you tried. That's ok. If you were actually proud, you wouldn't lie to yourself, or to others.

Everything is an "excuse" when you are fighting a losing fight. Is laming a way to claim bragging right nowadays?
You would never get to PR 40+ if quicksearch never existed lol... You would be forced to play fair MU's instead... oh! the fucking horror lmao

if that's what you say, then it must be true! name a fair mu, and i'll name you a pr38+ player i've beaten in it now you tell me how many pr38+ players you have beaten with iro or otto?
ok. i think we can conclude that i am right and you are wrong. good day, sir.
