Re: new lamest civ

I honestly haven't found a civ yet that really bothers me, or should I say left me feeling that I would have lost no matter what I had done. I agree that Ports can be quite irritating but I don't believe they are honestly OP.

Re: Macattack

I think musk/huss would work just fine. That's what I use when I'm french against aztecs and as long as you can get rid of those 6 Puma/2 SK, the hussars will eat the rest. It's just a matter of micro (easier said than done of course :p).

I even have something in mind from yesterday that probably isn't appropriate. :p

Re: Sioux

If I wasn't so addicted to playing French at the moment I would give their WH rush a try. Boosted WH units this patch along with shipped in cav and pistoleros has real potential IMO.

Re: Countering China with France

Thanks, I've actually lately been sending 4 Coureurs as my first card because I think it's overall more efficient with a gold-heavy strategy, and if I send 8 crossbows first I fear getting housed too quickly with hussars at 2 pop each. Still, I see why crossbow/hussar would be so efficient. Perhaps ...

Re: Countering China with France

[quote=""Soccerman771""]Ok, first of all - telling you guys how to beat China is close to blasphemy. That said - here's the "blueprint". 1. - keep them off of wood. Raid trees, kill villages. This will hurt them more than any type of army you make. 2. - cav, cav, and mo...

Re: Countering China with France

[quote=""Aaryn_GenD""]very true, i hate to go so heavy on huss where a civ can easily add in some pikes and make them nearly useless, since they can't attack because they'd get owned by pikes also with hussar+musket you'lll get outmassed badly, since you can't spam them constantl...

Re: Countering China with France

Probably will have to be later in the week, as it is quite late right now and tomorrow I'm very busy. Tuesday would be good I think.

Re: Countering China with France

I totally agree, once China gets rolling they are just ridiculous. I get my first 5 hussars out around 5:45, which isn't all that early really IMO.

I still do need to play you anyways if you remember, so we will have to play around with this a bit. :)

Countering China with France

So lately I have been playing more and more 1v1's and do not have trouble with any matchups so far except China. All three games I have played against them I went hussar start with added muskets, which won me two games but seemed like it wasn't the best solution. My main problem was that I had a har...

Re: Sporting's 2nd VOD: Spa vs Germans, Iro vs Spa, Iro vs I

Sweet, nothing like coming home to a VOD or three! Thanks sporting!

Edit after watching: All very nice games, I especially enjoyed that third one for obvious reasons that I won't spoil for those who haven't watched yet. Hehe.

Re: Sioux Tips

Otto is a match-up where evening star really shines. Counters hussars AND jans, and most people probably haven't come to terms with abus yet to use them. If they DO have them, jus ttime it to run in, mob his abus, then switch into RR and kill everything else. I always had great success with it again...
