Which civ is considered OP by now?

Post by Marksman_Anders »

Hi everybody, I've been away for a good while but perhaps i'll start playing again. Is TAD still alive on ESO, I mean is a lot of players playing it still?

Also, is Japanese still considered to be OP just as Chinese were before the last patch or have they fixed that? If someone could give me a quick update that would be fine. :)

It depends on what patch you play.

I think on RE, japan, iro and india are strong, aztec, germans, russia, brits can all compete. Otto and ports are bottom.

On FP, its Iro, dutch and french the strongest? Otto the weakest to?

FP: France/brit/dutch/japan - in that order.

RE: Iro/India tied. Aztec/Japan get honorable mention though.

I forgot about china. Their FF is still quite strong. A bit predictable though.

for RE patch i feel that china is actually 2nd/3rd strongest. china ff is rather easy to do and if aided by a well placed wall with defensive building placement , the ff can go off without a hitch. and if the ff+shipment spam doesnt gett them the win, the subsequent age up to industrial will.




old han reforms is incredibly lame/great/OP on RE



also note that china has the '' saiga herd '' card which gies 4 buffalo/yak per tc , village , making a china turtle/f-i very possible and really potent
