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...
Honestly I haven't heard of people choosing Britons on ara. Britons are certainly fun, but I see them doing better on Yucatan. Then again, the Mongols would still be better there, too.
I don't get it... you see it all the time with experts if they are playing a 2nd tier civ like byz or saracens... everyone says it is a really good combo because siege is weak to knights, and monks are good against knights. But both are **** against LC, which are really cheap. This unit combo...
Indeed, sometimes democracy is not the way to go. Follow the posted flow chart to see how this decision should be made: http://www.mindtools.com/pages/article/newTED_91.htm
I don't think it has anything to do with cost, accuracy etc. Really, it comes down to that painfully slow delay before they fire. It is a serious drawback, and if the delay were significantly shorter, I think a lot more non-Hun players would be using them. As it is though, the delay makes it...
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...
For me, it is the Saracens. I just like them! Nahm! I absolutely love their UU, and their tech-tree is super serviceable. They are a lot better in forgotten too, with that cheaper market that lets them FC really quickly. Even in AOC though, with Mams, SO, HC, Hussar and Champions... Jesus...
Perhaps you don't believe they need a buff, and you are more than entitled to that opinion. I, like many though, think they could use some sort of an early game buff. And yet within the people who subscribe to this belief, we have yet to come up with anything good that isn't a nerfed bonus...
Turks have awesome CA (even more so in AOFE) but they are too expensive as always, even with the gold gathering bonus. But if you had map control on gold rush, would you then go for CA, as gold would never be lacking?
Can we at least agree to fix water please?!!! It is so broken. Can we leave everything else unchanged, but buff fireships so that we can have a counter system on water?
