Bloodlines = 20 extra hp = 44% bonus on one of the five land unitsWhy would Burgundians be #2? They lack bloodlines which I don't think is compensated by Castle Age eco upgrades.
Think civs with pierce armor bonuses are the best after Cumans, so Turks and then Malians.
Sicilians could be in the mix too. Unkillable scouts, long lasting farms, possibility to add serjeants...
How is it tricky, you add archers yourself.Cumans, Turks and Sicilians fs. Scouts dominate full feudals, not even close. You can argue maybe japanese with their spear-archer combo but scouts have so much more more raiding potential and will just dictate the game. Civs like slavs and khmer and teutons also have insane farming so they can fast track to more scouts, but its tricky as if enemy transitions to spear-archer, then suddenly turks/sicilians become much better to deal with those, while the other eco civs might need skirms to deal with them. HOWEVER, if slavs/khmer/teutons match with turks/sicilians, it can be a scout v scout mirror and their eco will carry them to victory, so its an interesting triangle
sicialians have no counter units in feudal age. cumans have cheaper buildings and full up units with 2tc option (best full feudal civ in the game) Huns dont need houses, u have full up units and stables produce fasterWhy not Lithuanians? They more food at the start. Also they have fully upgraded scouts with 10% faster spearman and skirms. Basically their skirms and scouts composition is very fast and this is the strongest comp in feudal.
scout + archer is strongerBasically their skirms and scouts composition is very fast and this is the strongest comp in feudal.
archers are countered by the skirms, and Lithuanians skirms can run faster to archers, and skirms do much more damage to archers than archers to skirms and scouts. It will depend on the micro. Also scouts and skirms don't rely on gold.scout + archer is stronger
Sure. I just made honorable mention of Lithuanians as decent feudal age civ, which was not mentioned in the threadsicialians have no counter units in feudal age. cumans have cheaper buildings and full up units with 2tc option (best full feudal civ in the game) Huns dont need houses, u have full up units and stables produce faster
