I HAVE BUILT 10,000 UHLANS!
I was just reviewing my ESO profile and I noticed something funny. In the course of all my unrated games (the large majority) I have built--so far--over 10,000 uhlans! Here's the proof:

I was pretty sure you built that many in our last game.
I'm at home today - are you getting on now?

I am at home, but I'm working on some projects at least until 3 or 4 this afternoon. After that, I will be ESOing

I guess I'll go back to the grindstone myself. Maybe I'll try to pop on later.

Re: I HAVE BUILT 10,000 UHLANS!
Wow 10,000. Thats sounds a little Uhlan obsessed. Then again Uhlans pwn especially with a french ally. During one 2v2 treaty game with my ally as france my uhlans could almost beat the hally's 1v1 and so I just started spamming uhlans and shoved the guy right to his base, while expanding over to take out his aztec ally's fb and saving my teammate.

Re: I HAVE BUILT 10,000 UHLANS!
I know of a group called Uhlan's Anonymous, they meet every Friday 6pm in most major cities. They use the 10 step method that, I recall, starts something like:
1. Realize there's another military building called a BARRACKS.
2. Uhlans will not fix all of your problems. You'll spam them obsessively one night and wake up the next morning with the same problems.
3. etc.

Re: I HAVE BUILT 10,000 UHLANS!
Uhlans are more OP than hussars used correctly.
They cost less resources for more punch.
Get some anti-cav and an ally who can spam them like no tomorrow, and it's GG.

Shizle +1.
Hydro: Uhlans have too many upgrades too. Although I find that hussars > uhlans until age iv (in head-to-head matchup, not raiding ability). Am I crazy in thinking that?

http://www.agecommunity.com/stats/Entit ... =ZS_Custom if you look at the number of units i've made, it look minuscule compared to kaiser's German horde, but take a look at the total number of ashigaru I've ever made, disturbing proof japan is evil 8O

LMAO
Although that's serious overkill Dan, as it only takes 12 Ashis to win 148 games, due to the newly discovered Japan card "bring 'em into the next game". Just when you thought Japan had everything.

Re: I HAVE BUILT 10,000 UHLANS!
Shizle, that was an awesome post. Sometimes I do check myself into the rehab barracks, but when I do, I suffer from another addiction: SKIRMISHER BINGING... I've built almost 9000. Can you recommend a program for that? Sometimes I wake up at night screaming in Dutch: "Den orloch!!!" " O K !!!! "
About uhlans being OP, yes, they are cheap and deadly en masse. Don't forget another great asset: Quick-training time compared to other cav. But they are quite easily countered by even relatively small groups of anti-cav. They tend to go down fast when there is a musket-protected RI group that keeps shooting at you as you jockey for position. I don't know about hussar>uhlan. I can always crank about about twice as many uhlans as hussars, and early game I can usually overwhelm any Frenchie or Brit who commits to an early stable. That changes as the game proceeds, but raw attack values plus numbers can knock out hussars in cav-on-cav action. It's when muskets and cav show up that I start worrying. 8O
Uhlan upgrades are pretty sweet indeed. Maybe it's overkill to have an Age 4 upgrade, but as they say in the AOE3 manual: "Germany: Free Uhlans with every shipment; Best Units: Skirmisher, Uhlan." I guess that means it's OK to have mucho upgrade cards.
