Beta French Discussion

[zoom]

Please discuss anything relating specifically to the French, in this thread. The following are the current changes to the civilization:

– Coureur Des Bois cost reduced from 125f to 120f [revert]
– "TEAM Early Skirmishers" shipment no longer moves Black Flag banner-army from Fortress to Colonial Age; Now moves Imperial and Territorial banner-armies from Fortress to Colonial Age

The following changes are currently being considered:

The cdb cost revert will probably put them in decent spot, I think we shouldn't touch france anymore, hopefully france will be played more in the future.

I like this revert, just a small buff is what they need, they were just average so far

[Kaiserklein]

France is fine and the cdb change barely matters, I don't mind either way

i always found the small food cost difference make some sec difference very precious when you hit age2 cause it can help you finish your batch with ease or with like 1 more huss or call minuteman then can be turned into less idle time, more gathering etc.. when you're under pressure against build like 5/5cos russia or iro 4kenya first. And coupled with some other civ buff (like rusket buff). So i think fr will definitely gain good value from the revert. just what they need indeed

I wonder what the reason was they weren't played so much during the LAN. Hopefully this small buff is enough to give them some exposure.

Because they don't hard counter any civ. Thus you don't want to pick them as a counterpick. They're a fine first pick but some civs (Germany, Iro, Russia, India) are just stronger.

I suppose that's true. But they also don't have any hard counter, so maybe they are the ultimate quick search civ.

Yea, they're a good first pick because they don't have any hard counter, but there are better first picks (germany, iro, russia, india).
