Fanpatch 1.1 Discussion

[quote=""StrokeyBlofeld""][quote=""Kaiser_von_Nuben""]Would anyone mind if I stuck with the Germans in 1.1 ?

That's fine providing you don't make any uhlans.[/quote]

That's like asking a Brit not to make manors.

I see why Ben loves Uhlans. They're totally kickass. ::/

Hmm Lazy by looking on your stats I would suggest germans. Japs would be good as well, but I think you might miss the ashigarus and true shrine boom. Germans are overall more standard and easier to use.

Just recovered from a real "durr" moment over the FP. I read that Ports started off with huntings dogs and couldn't see why this would help - I thought it meant a war dog like Spain! But on trying the FP I was "wth where's my wardog" before I realised it was the market upgrade! Now that really is an OP upgrade!

Just keep me away from anything with a pointy end ...

[huGGy]

^ lol. Heard the same story twice now.

Dutch seem just a little powerful because with that extra wood crate they can easily make 1 bank on age up, almost two.

Port hunting dogs doesn't seem to work, im still aging at 4:30 with 13 OR 14 villies

no, it works....

[amigrunt]

Well I've hit a roadblock trying to find my civ because I can't seem to be awesome with dutch or French. I think i'll give India another go because I may not like them but I simply don't lose with them.

With this new FP I feel like I can try out so many different civs. Given i'm really only playing with china, aztec, iro and sometimes germans (team), but I just find it being a lot easier to try out new civs when the game is so much better balanced.

[jonesk]

Yes, I never feel I lost the game because of some major civ imbalance, but because of my own mistakes. Or maybe I am playing the new OP civs? :?

[Sporting_Lisbon]

The only civ I think that are weak are Spain and hmm perhaps Aztec but I'm not sure about Aztec because I haven't played them. I'm not a big fan of azzies tho.

[Palehorse]

I dunno if Spain is relatively weak or not, but they are certainly easier to play in FP 1.1. I especially like the 5 vil politician.

[TheRam]

Spain in team if used correctly (FF with 3 Vill, 5 Vill 4 Vill and 5 Vill age to fort) gives you ridiculous economy + ship 1000w get 2 more TCs and by 8 minutes or so you're ready to spam lancers
it's immense.
And it's what NP did vs me :/

[amigrunt]

You know, the only really op thing I see about India is their 5:30 get 12 sepoys in enemy base strat. The fp really didn't change that strat at all. All they did was make it so you get 12 sepoys at 5:40 and that's only marginally better.

I havent played them all that much competitively, but I find them pretty OK still.
