Well, the community isn't helping at all tbh. QS is full of africa civ even in team.

Ego screen, but that's top players in QS, playing like that, and the red player flame us whole game. How you want to play like that every game...

I dont think one should blame the players for playing the best civs. Blame the devs for all of this instead.

I don't know, it's a hard take.

When you see everybody saying they'll stop the game until some civs are nerfed, that those civs are literally OP with incredible units ruining everyone's fun. That people start to play lobby no africa dlc, and then you still pick that civ in QS, it's a 50/50 players devs to me.

It's like Sweden for months, people raging on it everytime but still people spamming them in QS. They don't play Sweden because it's a new civ to use with a lot of fun, but because they know it's easier to win. Few times after USA release it wasn't played that much because they are not that op.

Its a competitive game. People will play to win, thats the entire point of the game. Shifting blame on players because the devs failed to release reasonably balanced civs seems silly.

Furthermore, expecting players to willingly lose a bunch of games in QS just to not be considered 'lame' is somewhat unrealistic, isnt it?

People are freaking out way too much on the new civs. Sweden was way more retarded with 3rax musketeer spam and infinite eco.
Atleast with these new civs you have to macro and micro. What's the problem with playing the new civs until they get patched?

In this game my Hausa opponent skips 3v and 10/10s. He builds 5 TPs before I can take one and he puts them on influence which is a res he can spend on units -- kind of like free stagecoach. An 8 vill shipment (berbers) arrives at 5:15.

I kill some 3325hp TPs because I don't want him to get value out of not shipping 3v but that gives them value. It's hard to prevent his 7 speed hero from rebuilding them.

He easily outgathers 2SW / 3SW / silver smith, amalgamation / royal mint ger without shipping 3v or researching stagecoach or going water. It's not even close. He has 27 vills when he hits IV (I have 40).

Without shipping 1k coin Hausa reaches age IV at 12:40 w/15 abus guns, berber camels, javelins and stuff. He ships 16 ESO riders then gets 16 more for some reason. Makes more javelins and berber riders and right clicks. can't lose a fight. game feels impossible.

You play everyday, thousands of hours since the game came out. I barely play, yet I know it would still be super EZ.

It's basically 4 statements. Which and why do you disagree with?

Influence from TPs is definetely something that should require stagecoach.
Aside from that, it counts as a resource in the graph, just like exports so the graph is a bit inflated given that influence is not of the same use of other traditional resources.

I disagree that swe was more busted, since they kind of had to get to IV to unlock their truly busted potential and torping wasn't free. On the other hand it feels like Africa civs get access to bustedness much earlier (beginning in age 1) which gives their opponents less room to outplay, and less time for the Africa player to make a mistake.

Despite actually having great ecos with influence and cow hax, Africa civs make up the infinite eco gap compared to Old Swe w/just amazing units.

At any rate it doesn't matter but I'd rather play vs swe than dis.

why is it not? isn't it even better than resources when spent
