Composition counters
Composition counters
Pls correct me if i am wrong
unit i mean
LI= skirms, crossbow etc.
HI= pike, halbs, doppels etc
Musk= sepoy, ashigaru, janisary, etc
HC= heavy cav or hand cav - cuirs, huss, meteor hammer, etc
RC= ranged cav- goons
Now talking about compositions
1. Early age 2 bow pike counters musk huss
2. Skirms + heavy infantry also counters musk huss (for ex- china pure std. Army vs brits musk huss)
3. Musk huss counters skirms+ cav( brit musk huss vs ulhan skirms)
4. Double cav (ranged cav plus hand cav) counters skirm cav( cuir + goons vs ulhan skirms)
5. Ranged infantry + hand infantry counters double cav
6. Skirm goon counters musk huss
7. Skirm hand cav soft counters musk skirms.
8. Skirm hand cav hard counters HI+ skirms.
9. Skirm hand cac soft counters skirm goon.
Now i am not sure about these 3 unit composition but still.
1. Skirms+goons+hand cav counters Skirms + musk/HI+ hand cav
Now i would like people to correct me where i am wrong here. And feel free to add more unit composition counters(with examples would be nice).
Bonus
Sepoy urumi taj mahal counters ALL.

Re: Composition counters
I'm fairly certain musk + huss > [anything] + pike.
Re: Composition counters
musk huss>skirm musk and also better then pike bow i guess,@Shikari Musk sepoy ashi ect=HI
Re: Composition counters
skirm musk should destroy musk huss. Xbow pike kinda counters musk hiss even tho xbows have a sad multiplier and no instant shoot so they often fail. But like lbow pike does counter musk huss without ups.

Re: Composition counters
I dont think lb pike do tbh
Re: Composition counters
Lbow trashes musk huss without ups. With ups balance is different. If more outmassed then probably even with ups.

"9. Skirm hand cac soft counters skirm goon. "
Hard counter tbh.
lb/pike counters musk/huss, especially if you use the map or buildings.

Re: Composition counters
I mean if lb pike countered musk huss then people would make lb in a brit mirror

Some people (spadel and veni) make lb in brit mirror sometimes, and it works fine. Going musk is usually better though because they're stronger when upgraded (and you have 2 cards to upgrade them), and more mobile.
Mobility is very important in brit mirror because raiding and sieging the fb is often what decides the game.
Re: Composition counters
Ye the reason why you don't go lbow pike is mostly becaue of mobility aka raiding and also ofc easier macro (same macro for age up). In narrow/small maps lbow/pike is ok. Lbow/musks prob even better.

You are wrong on the first line; LI = Light Infantry = "lesser cavalry", such as Coyote Runners.

True, I thought the same, but I think you just assume equal res for both compositions to do this comparison
Re: Composition counters
Well what i wanted to find out was can dopps skirms work vs ashi nagi. Since china mass of std. Army does seem to work i was wondering can germany do it too with free ulhans as well. But since i will be going dopps i guess will need 2 rax so ulhan become difficult to make. Maybe also put AA and church card for inf speed and better skirms. What do you say. Pls don't be meta slave and answer actually giving it a thought.
But ofcorse this would definitely suck if jap player adds yumi that i know.

Re: Composition counters
Dop skirm is theoretically a counter composition to ashi nagi. RI + HI > cav + HI
In practice though, dops get baited forward by nagis and get sniped down. You end up having no dops before opponent has no ashis (unless maybe you have a godlike micro and can abuse the cover mode really well and split fire your skirms on his ashis without targeting the nagis) so he'll have his nagis on top of your skirms at the end of the day.

Guess, I'll just micro my war wagons.
Just curious, have you ever seen someone do that kind of micro you are talking about.

Re: Composition counters
Yeah some good players whne they try hard, probably. But you don't see that very often. I mean, it's the same if you go skirm/pikes vs musk/huss to some extent. The problem is that ashis are faster, and japs usually remass more.
Just go war wagons yeah

It depends about numbers. With vet skirms you can outmicro to some extent and then cover mode dopps and eventually even charching ashi you can win that.

Fairly certain this is not a correct statement.
