Were you hitting and running? How were your other units positioned?I had 50 HC.
lol aoezone. Have fun can't wait to see the 15 range jannisaries that are unkillable by skirms in CA.
Please, show us a recorded games.My HC just got countered by Halbs.
Definitely a fair and reasonable characterization of the discussion in this thread so far.
Thanks for agreeing.
Hey. About losing 50 HC to halbs there are many ways to rectify that from happening
Step 1: Micro. If you have 50 HC. Thats like 2500 gold so you better darn well protect it with your life.
However if step 1 is not possible because you are a slow player there is another way
Step 2: add some melee units infront. Hussar/LCav. Halbs. Rams. Whatever. That way the HC can be somewhat protected. Apart from khmer jap tatars. Every other HC civ has access to BBC so having hc + bbc + halb should be a useful combo and often is the preferred combo in games where opponent doesn't have a good archer civ.
Step 3: don't let yourself get surrounded. HC might do insane dmg vs halbs but alot of shots they fire can be overkill. If you allow halbs to jump on you then that's all your momentum lost.
In all honesty I prefer Step 2. Its less micro intensive and gives you room to breathe.
I do step 2 for other units like elite skirm (a trash unit designed to counter halbs if u micro) but if u add ur own halb or ram or hussar infront the skirms can fire safely.
Gg ez
But why do that when we can reduce their creation speed/decrease their cost and increase their stats/accuracy? 11.
This.
