Halberdiers need no balancing. In fact, they are close to perfectly balanced. Look at a civ like Vikings, who miss halbs and have no other anti-cav unit, like camels or mamelukes. In 1v1 Vikings can be absolutely decimated with only paladins spam.
Re: Next 1v1 tourney: Castle Start vs Extra Vills vs Standar
Also let's not forget the fact that normally Chinese start with twice the villagers of a generic civ. If generic civ starts with 6 and Chinese with 9 they only start with 50% more villagers. Likewise with Mayans.
Generally I'd go...
Re: Next 1v1 tourney: Castle Start vs Extra Vills vs Standar
Extra billagers seems to be the best solution. I think some civs are too nerfed by castle age start.
It sure is pretty bad, but Tim must've thought it only affected opponent since he built his own Wonder. Without wasting those 4k resources on a dead end wonder he might've been able to push through with 300 years.
I didn't get why slam didn't go 200 pop before attacking with the samurais. Then he would probably have outmassed Tatoh easily. Nice defense by Tatoh though.
I'm no expert on this, but I always assumed Aztec pikes even with Garland Wars are even worse against Paladin than Viking pikes. The extra attack don't really matter since the bonus attack against Cavalry is so much larger, especially for Halbs. Aztecs do however have some awesome monks in the...
Fully upgraded Cavaliers are useless once the opponent hits full imperial. I'm pretty sure Champions and their likes beat them cost effectively, and since they lack that extra +1 PA and +40 HP the Paladin upgrade gives they just aren't nearly as close to as tanky to arrows. Simple example...
Re: Arabia 1v1: Invitational Civilization Selection Statisti
Seems to like Mongols come out as the big loser and to be honest I was surprised at the amount of Mongols picks in the tournament.
Re: how do you counter massed Mamelukes + SO if u dont have
One civ specific counter that should work well on paper is ETK + Halberdier + BBC/Monk with Teutons. ETK tank scimitars, Halbs get in hits towards Mames while BBC/Monks kill SO/BBC depending on which siege Saracens has.
Re: how do you counter massed Mamelukes + SO if u dont have
When these kinds of questions are asked, some of the answers seem to forget the question. For example, if the question is "How do you counter Mamelukes + SO if you don't have SO?", obviously "Just be faster" is not an answer. "Just be...
That's probably true, but it kind of looked like you lost your economical advantage when he he killed your fishing, since after that you had to invest in a shitload of farms.
