Wrong mein freund, Iroquois get arty in age II (Mantlet) and even get ur normal canon in age III. Aztec get those stupid Arrow knights, which act as running falcs and running Culvs in 1 single unit! Only civ that doesnt get a military unit designed 2 siege buildings are the Sioux ( but their siege dance makes up 4 it sooooooo well :p )

Funny. Last patch folk kept going on and on about how bad Coyotes were. You guys remember that?
Indeed mate, last patch skirms and xbows countered them better than pikes but now they got 0.75% vs them (which is the same multiplier they have vs cav) and they're faster and war dance pops up earlier! Now nothing kills them! :p

I stand corrected, Lazy... forgot about those meddlesome light cannon, which are not only cheap and cost less pop than European guns, but have better range and work as culverins and falcs.

Arrow knights are just plain strange AND annoying. How the hell can a bowman kill an artillery piece? Ah, the bizarre nature of the counter system...

Yes it would. I've been dabbling in the Sioux lately and cannot boom to save my life.

What I felt with Sioux was that it was like playing with a bomb next to you. At 20~ mins you run out of hunts and you used to be dead :\ How are sioux atm, can they kick some arse before dying?

Aren't the canons age 4?
Makes it quite hard to actually use them.
