Why? Hussars do more dps to lancers than goons do. Units don't need a multiplier to be a hard counter. Try running a batch of lancers into huss or uhlan and let everyone know how that goes

Maybe because hand cav DPS is high no matter of the scenario...

It doesn't mean hussars hard counter lancers. With this logic you could say hussars counter goons, as they beat them in terms of dps. However I see your point you're making here, it's an obvious one. But it's still not a hard counter.

I don't need to run a batch of lancers to hussars or uhlans to know how it goes.

I mean, it doesnt even matter how they dps cause you hit and run with goon while hussard get hit by lancer so obviously goon > hussard.

By that logic hussars dont hard counter falconets either. My point is and was that countering lancers age 2 would be trivial, even coyote runners can take on lancers. Yes, rodelero lancer combo is a different story, but lancers themselves are countered by heavy cav

There is a difference between an effective weapon vs something and being a hard-counter. True, Hussars are good vs falconets, but they don't ubercounter them. Culverins do, same as Arrow knights or Yabusame.
Crossbows also do fairly well vs muskets, but they don't hardcounter them like skirmishers do.

And we all know that, still not a hard counter and like I said I see your point.

Edit. Aaryn summarized it well.

But he is right. The point was made about unit counters, which don't change with the gamemode or amount of players (1v1, 2v2, 3v3, 4v4).
So you saying Spain is underpowered in team compared to 1v1 doesn't touch the subject at all.

Well that is a different argument altogether. We were referring to dansil92 saying hussars hardcounter lancers. You quoted it and said no so we assumed you were on his side.

Why only spain players are complaining about their performance in team games when it's not even the worst civ?

Not spain players, one spain player ^^. And based on team tier list, spain is very bottom, not my opinion (i don't care about team ^^) but opinion of your pairs.

So should we consider this was fail design.

One Civ is ok in 1v1 but is UP in team game.
Some civs are ok in 1v1 but are OP in team game.

That's the sacrifice made for a large number of very unique civs.

You could also make all the civs the same for the sake of balance
