I didn't say they suck, i said they have problems. Try to face a boomy Civ (Brits, Japs, India) or a Civ that has a good FF there (French, Germans, Ottos...). You'll see what i mean. They have this tower as well to defend rushes and their FF is better than the russian FF. But maybe it's just me.

ironic is a word used to describe something that is unexpected and coincidental , such as russia failing on a map such as siberia would be considered ironic because siberia happens to be located in russia ;)

Just read any satire I write on my blog and you'll know what irony means ;)

What about the Brits? They are pretty difficult to play in 1v1, at least, I find them harder than the Germans. I think they are much better in team games. I don't know if they are underrated, but they are certainly tricky to learn at the beginning. I mean, try defending an Agra Fort rush or something without any military shipments. Brits only get strong after their 700/600 wood shipments kick in. Before that, it's a struggle.

I've lost times enough as iro vs brits to guarantee that they are slightly underrated, their boomy abilities with a decent lb/pike management are absolutely evil.

The ottomans are dieing out..... on nilla every game had one in it, but on tad, i hardly see them. I suppose its cause they are pretty sucky :P the only way i think otto is op is when its a 2v2 and his ally is russia, then they both rush as fast as they can, good combination. Strelets+jans is a tough one to beat if they have good micro. Me and a friend beat some lamers by both of us going brits and doing lb/pike. Mass LI beats it okay, but those cossacks are annoying.

Sometimes! Straight double LB/musket or double LB/pike with manor boom is pretty OP.

Try triple Brits... even better.
