I want to play competitive/ranked soon and I'm really interested in using mercs so which civ would be best for me? Germans- I know they have alot of really good Merc cards with extra units and buffs but its heavily relied on cards/xp and I don't think I can spam it enough as they don't have the Merc contractor politician

Dutch- with Merc contractor politician and banks ill guarantee a constant stream of fusiliers and elmeti.

Swedes- decent gold generation with Torps and cards are faster and enable alot of options like black riders , Swiss pikes, Highlanders, fusiliers and landsknechts to be built at military buildings.

New player questions

Posted: 30 Apr 2022 10:04 AM PDT

I've just started played aoe3 definitive edition and have a question about how mills/estates and how power works. Me and my friends just started and I usually get around 2 mills 2 estates all maxed villagers but whenever we go attack the enemy (we play against hard difficulty ai) I've noticed they all have many multiple mills like 7+ and same with estates with only like 2-3 villagers on each is that more efficient? We also tend to stagnate if it's a full upgrade ability game the ai will end up with around 500k while we stagnate anywhere from 150-250k power why is this, I'm assuming it has to deal with our lack of mills and estates and other buildings
