Re: Some players are just so XXXXXXXXX!

Because you never know when it's THIS KID at the other end of the Internet. I've seen a dozen or so players like you describe in my team game days. I've had a few guys be a bit bossy but boy did they know what they were doing. Litterally taught me to micro abus on the fly for a specific sioux/otto s...

Re: Civ Strength according to Drew

My primary concern is ESO patch the most balance destroying stuff. It's a small miracle to have so many RTS civs as closely balanced as they are. TAD's release created a dire need for a new patch since 2/3rd of the new civs require a large balance change. ESO has done a good job balancing with a 1v1...

Re: The Mahout-Gurkha Crunch

Well I'd definately wait for the patch for rated games. Sure was fun to practice with for a while. Quite a freaking struggle, there's no real food/wood BO options that are practical either. You pretty much always need Food/Wood/Gold to get any reasonable strat going. You can be have on Food for the ...

Re: Civ Strength according to Drew

Nav's list is almost perfect I give Dutch higher than China because Dutch is almost = to China and > every other civ. China is < Sioux very slightly better than dutch and > than all other civs. Also Sioux and Iroquois would have to switch places. Now that I look Germans are probably too low as well....

So I practice a lot with a guy who hasn't played since vanilla! He was a 1st or Captain in it and he's taken up Dutch and now Sioux after a run with China. Well his Sioux has been unstoppable for my China so I've finally broken my no FF w/diciple rule in an effort to stop the AR onslaught! I'm still...

Re: Anti-Rush strat using India??

There's ways to fend off the initial rush for a while but it'll put your economy in shambles while the China/Russia could keep a constant stream of units all day long. Since you are Mr India all day long every day! I would suggest experimenting with white tigers and siberian tigers. You can create a...
