Re: Getting the better of those ******** that always choose
If you are really a better player, you should play as Persians and stomp their ass with Long Swordsmen :)
Add me on Chess.com as SpcyBrnMrd and play against me, mein freund! You can teach me a lot. I play at a 900's level when I am trying, and an 800's level when playing by intuition alone.
I played it as a kid and loved it even though I was absolutely terrible. I have been revisiting it as a 28 year old, and still get my ass kicked, but I am also kicking ass a lot more often. Gee, kind of like AOC?
It seems like the two games have quite a bit in common, even using similar vernacular. There is a concept in Chess called tempo, which is where you use a forcing move that makes your opponent respond, thus giving you time to move onto the next thing. AOC has this too, as we all know. Chess...

I'm not too big on Franks, but they are actually a lot better than people give them credit for. Farm bonus is really nice (though not as good as Teutons or Chinese), and in imp, they get HC, which is huge. When you have Frank palas and HC, that can be really difficult to counter.
Yes their pocket is not that good. WW too expensive in castle age, and shitty cavalry. And yet, giving them bloodlines would make them OP. What if we really reduced the cost of WW significantly, but made the elite upgrade really expensive? Would that help? They could actually compete in...
