Inca can get into age III before 6:30 with non-eco FF, and they have 3 scouts to receive shipments in different corner. It's rather hard to stop the front stronghold, and once it's completed, it became a disaster.
A stronghold with a few huaraca can easily hold 50+ infantry units (and you even don't have that many), and huaraca can destroy your base in no time. He doesn't even need anti-cav units with stronghold behind. If you try FF or semiFF, 2 cannons can hardly deal with full huaracas, and it's hard to build artillery foundry to train cannons while he's destroying your buildings one by one.
I've not tried colonial pressure, but it's at least impossible to stop him from reaching age III. Even if you destroyed his base, he can always put a stronghold in your home too, and it's still difficult to play a base-trade game against stronghold and TC wagons.
I don't know exactly how to describe this build. Huaraca is generally a cannon type unit, which means a civilization can do FF and spam full cannons on your face, while you can do nothing against this?
Against Inca front stronghold?
Re: Against Inca front stronghold?
I think the answer is to go almost full skirm and defend while you age up to 4 to get mortars, but yea, it sucks and its annoying to play against. full skirm will beat huaracas and then you just need enough anticav to stop the chimu switch. but going age 4 is required I think, to deal with the fort.

Full skirm doesn't really beat huaraca.

I dont know if it would work on 1 v 1 but I have managed to use the new longbows against Strongholds in team games with the new siege archery + yeomen. They outrange the stronghold and I think longbows trade cost effectively against the huracas as long as you dont try to micro too much and just let them fire

not well enough, for sure. really wish they would just make the unit an arrow knightfei123456 wrote: ↑11 Apr 2022, 08:47Full skirm doesn't really beat huaraca.
