I played a Brit recently who went massive LB and pike. There's nothing you can do vs this in age 2 is he keeps his pike close to keep cav away. Only chance is to go fortress and get cannons ...

Hee, hee. Well this wasn't me, but this is one of my favourite strat. This combo backed by Huss are very strong. Only if I have some OP mirco skills. Sigh. :roll:

Yumis are better than longbows in most situations, since you can actually make pressure with yumis since they're faster. Longbows are better to defend. I prefer attacking so you could say I'm biased :D

But Port turtling is fun. And rewarding, since you can then attack with ginetes and cannons. I just don't like longbows :p

Grens have HI tag, but with 50% RR, they can shrug off a lot of fire before going down.
