    A fix for all cav boxes - Let me introduce you the orphan of all cav boxes

    A fix for all cav boxes - Let me introduce you the orphan of all cav boxes

    https://preview.redd.it/wndnmpckie451.png?width=1920&format=png&auto=webp&s=877d3ebf07cb7649787d0a17d4ec898d0e215ed1

    Since there were some recent posts on Opri box vs Dog boxes, and as I was playing India exclusive recently, I thought why no one ever mentioned that Mother of all cav boxes (so I thought, but realized that it's in fact an orphan since its useless to box them in this way)

    I did a post on the Samurai box in the past to demonstrate its effectiveness. https://www.reddit.com/r/aoe3/comments/fbowwf/samurai_box_cavalry_combo/

    I compared it with the dog box or an opri box for which there are counters. But a samurai box with a support army like I showed here https://youtu.be/hY8fBhWs8vk can level up enemy infrastructure anywhere on the map in mere seconds. A support army is only possible to Japan without disturbing their eco or 75 villagers to provide for pop space. A dog box is a one time thing and an opri box even though can be done several times in a game, cannot leave room for a supporting army after having dedicated 99 pop space to villagers either.

    So, what about a box with the highest HP unit in the game the Mahout Lancer. It's 7 pop a unit (6 pop after card) will let you train only 16 mahout lancers after leaving 103 pop space for vills. If you want to increase the stats of Mahout lancers, you need to have the Mansabdar mahout which will have less attack than the units it surrounds but will occupy the twice pop space. How about including war elephants from Sufi mosque? But only 6 war elephants can be trained from a Sufi site. Which map will have reliable number of Sufi sites for a decent mass? Only Indo-china in a 8 player game.

    Here's my box https://imgur.com/a/Fiqoe7O

    with 10 Mahouts, 1 Masabdar Mahout, 8 War elephants (Home city card), 30 war elephants (trained from 5 sufi sites) and a monk. And a supporting army, 36 conquistador from 3 Jesuit Mission. 18 Urimi from home city.

    I entered the enemy land with the intent of leveling them up but resigned 12 minutes later against 7 easy AI opponents, none of them are age 4, utterly disappointed owing never to do it again. Yes I won all the fights, yes the supporting army did very well, yes I was able to take down enemy towns but there's no effectiveness in the box.

    If all the cav boxes perform this poorly I can confidently say no one will ever attempt to box them again.

    The fix is to change the seige animation of cavalry to what the war elephants do so that only a few units in the box seige while the rest of them stand still unable to do anything. Devs for AOE3 DE, here's your fix, go implement it.

    Whats your opinion of the dutch?

    Posted: 11 Jun 2020 10:41 AM PDT

    I love the dutch, they are my by far most play civ in aoe3, now i wana know u guys opinions on the dutch There strategy options, there units and there usefullness in the phases of the game

    I like to do a FF with 4 banks, and then start of with ruyters to kill vills, and pick of soldiers, and build up ~5 falconets with halb/skirms/even more ruyterd (based on what i need ti counter)

    Age of Empire 3 Asian Dynasties cutscenes wont play. Can't continue game.

    Posted: 11 Jun 2020 08:34 PM PDT

    There is this problem that makes me unable to continue the game. I can't even watch the first cutscenes of all chapters. It just shows me its layout, but never plays and I am not sure why. Something went wrong?

    Everytime I leave the game too and come back, all my options and bindings reset. I can't play any of the missions nevermind even playing the cutscenes! Game breaking!

    Wars of liberty

    Posted: 11 Jun 2020 01:38 PM PDT

    I am planning to play Wars of liberty soon, but would love to hear reviews from people who've played it.

    I saw a couple of reviews and it looks like a combo of certain AOM aspects and AOE 2 aspects.

    Any comments from players who've tried it?
