Map pool?
Re: Map pool?
I didn't read the rest of the thread, so I guess if there was conversation about it already I didn't see it (oops).
Ottomans typically have little reason to train a spy though, as their opponents normally don't try to stagecoach boom against them, and their economy is somewhat worse in early Commerce Age.

Re: Map pool?
I dunno in which MU this could really be a problem tbh. I feel like if they can afford a church and a spy and be quick enough to snipe your explo before you build your TPs, they could also just train units instead and prevent you from getting stagecoach anyway. Like brits aging a vil early could do it, but they could also just train musks or pikes and pressure a TP anyway?
Iro would be the best target for a spy rush I guess. But they're also able to get units out really early so they could just defend their WC I think. Generally speaking, most civs don't go stageoach boom without any unit out, or if they do it's because they're faster than you anyway, so your spy comes too late.

Re: Map pool?
I'd be surprised if spy rush became meta. If it became a problem you could disable spy training add a tech at church that cost like 5 coin and takes 30 seconds to research that unlocks spies.

Re: Map pool?
Not agree with that, one spy is a very good move with otto as it denie your opponenet scout, which is super important vs otto.Mitoe wrote:I didn't read the rest of the thread, so I guess if there was conversation about it already I didn't see it (oops).

Re: Map pool?
Thats one of the biggest reasons as of why i love tourneys though. Set map set civs. I enjoy that way more than an otto mirror on pampasvividlyplain wrote:I don’t think it would kill variety. You may be right that those could be the most played no tp map civs, but the maps are still going to be selected randomly so tp and no tp maps should both be played on with players being given the voice of changing their civ that they feel is better suited to a certain map.lemmings121 wrote:That would just make everyone play india and russia on notp maps, port mirror on water, etc, killing variety.Le Hussard sur le toit wrote:Just allow to chose your civ after seeing the map.
We already know that balance is and will always be kinda bad in this game, so its better to have some variery in qs, and having few nontp maps there is fine. Ideally every civ is playable in qs, but their strength is a bit random with the map.

Re: Map pool?
Fun fact, it used to be back in the day! Otto could train them in age1 (because they had the mosque) so they could spy rush people before they even clicked up. So that's why spies are available in age2 nowdutchdude117 wrote:I'd be surprised if spy rush became meta.

Re: Map pool?
Assuming they even really try to shrine out on the map, which they kinda don't atm (at least not in early game). I could see this be a thing as brits vs japs probably.Mitoe wrote:It would be good vs JapanKaiserklein wrote:I dunno in which MU this could really be a problem tbh.
