What's the deal with Viper using Britons so much I this tournament? Is it a personal challenge that he's set himself?
I ask because the specific buffs that the Britons get in this patch are inconsequential.
1. Longbowman trains in 17s (instead of 19s).
Two seconds less AOC game time on the creation of a Longbowman is nothing. Have I missed something?
2. Get Heavy Scorpions, Treadmill Crane, Cannon Galleon and Elite upgrade.
Treadmill crane is useful but the scorpions and cannon galleons are rarely seen in any game.
The point is this - Viper is playing with a civ that is basically unchanged from standard AOC.
The general changes in the balance patch don't give the Britons any new advantages.
Why then does Viper, and other good players not play with Britons more often on Arabia style maps?
I always see people saying things like "Yeah the archers are good, but overall they suck."
Really? Viper doesn't seem to have got that memo.
