Re: Aztec Combos
Colossus wouldn't it be more efficient if he spent the resources on more maces and coyotes? I mean, some AK's are good to counter any falcs that show up but their damage is like 10? with a weird ROF isn't it? Yes that's right. An AK does the damage of a Mace - without the HI, LI bonus! And you know...

Re: Aztec Combos
IMO, AKs... Advantages (1) Massive LOS (2) You can use them to take buildings down at range in relative safety - although not particularly quickly. (3) You can use them to take artillery out at range (4) You can provoke your opponent's army with them. AKs can hit them at range and cause them to eith...

Oh, and Sporting...
...By the mighty Drew :p Hehehe.About the coyote/jaguar combo -- you might know this -- although its fun, generally you never want melee + melee units as a combo. One or the other should be ranged.

Re: Coyotes or AK, what's the best anti-artillery
personally, i think the stealth card is not worth an age II slot, there are too many other good options that get priority, and stealthed Jags are good enough Likewise, I'm relunctant to put the Coyote stealth in an age 2 slot - I know what you mean. However, when I have used it in a game it seems t...

Re: Aztec Combos
You can't, you can only hope to match it. Mace & AK hold their own against skirms (and the AKs greater range is useful). I think their upgrades & FP together make them similar to civs with good skirms. You'd just have to watch you ERKs, which would die like HI to skirms. In that sit, I'd sti...

Coyotes or AK, what's the best anti-artillery
I struggle with this one. I'd rather build Coyotes than AK, however, my in-game experience tells me that AK are better at taking down artillery than Coyotes in practical situations. If your opponent gets it right, it can be really hard reaching artillery with Coyotes. However, I wonder if playing th...

Aztec Combos
Following on from that thread on unit combinations. Has anyone use a Mace, ERK, AK combo? (All ranged infantry). In theory, it's quite powerful because you get great LOS, you can provoke opponents & seige buildings from a distance with the AK, and, if someone comes at you half-heartedly and has ...

Re: Fast Puma Spearman
I play it fairly (but not too) often. When I need strong anti-cav or seige. The way I look at it is this: The age 3 Puma Spearman card gives you 8 Puma Spearman. By comparison, Temple Xochipilli give you 12 Puma Spearman for 1000 gold. So, I reason that the 20% upgrade to Puma Spearman speed is actu...

Re: Fast Puma Spearman
Alas not Michael, Coyote Runners aren't "infantry" so the Road building upgrade won't work on them .with that upgrade and the shipment that increases the cyote runner's speed allows the cyote runners to out run most calv

Fast Puma Spearman
Has anyone had the pleasure of playing both the age 3 shipment, Temple Xochipilli, and doing the Incan Minor native upgrade, Road building? Apparently, it'll give your Puma Spearman Heavy Infanty a speed of 7. Haven't tried it myself yet, but then again, do I want a heart attack? Not really. Should ...

Converting Converted Guardians
Haven't got AOE3 here at work. (No surprises there!).
Can, Native WCs convert a Guardian that their opponent has already converted? (You understand what I'm asking right?). It's just never occurred to be to try it.

Re: The Aztec Puma Rush: Your Answer to Japan Lamers
I think you might be right . Having said that, I think Highlander suggested this strat helped move him from 2nd Leut to Captain.

Re: The Aztec Puma Rush: Your Answer to Japan Lamers
Sounds similar to me, although I have won some games with it. But if you can't take down a TC with 111 pumas what's going on? :). Just teasing, I know you meant 11. Think I'm going to stick to a more regular style of play. Highlander , if you can shed some light on this it would be much appreciated....
