    If you were allowed to add or change an unit for a civilization what would it be?

    Posted: 14 Jun 2022 03:10 AM PDT

    For me it would be:

    Chinese

    Guandao

    Guandao can be a Halberdier variant for China, despite it's role already been covered by Changdao, getting them should be one of the more interesting way, Plus Changdao isn't really a Halberdier Variant due to having 5 Speed which marks them as a Fast Heavy Infantry Category.

    Guandao is untrainable by the Chinese and can only be accessed through a new Infinite Card that can be called "God of War" which makes all of your town center do a one time training of 4 Guandao and Villages do a one time training of 1 Guandao that is shadow upgraded.
    or a Card that enable a new Banner Army to be trained in Castles called Koxinga Army which train 4 Guandao and 2 Iron Troop, and enable Honored and Exalted Guandao upgrade.

    The Guandao Stat could be the same as Halberdier in HP(200) but have less Melee Attack of 24, Siege Attack of 30, and Speed of 4 which do makes them stronger than Changdao, but is the slowest Heavy Infantry for China.

    Haudenosaunee

    Tomahawk Warrior

    Basically a Melee Version of Haudenosaunee Tomahawk who loses the Ranged Throwing attack but gained speed(5), more Melee Attack(18 perhaps) and Siege Attack(28) while still costing the same.

    Tomahawk Musketeer

    Might be Controversial but Tomahawk Musketeer could be a decent unit for Haudenosaunee, since they replace the Regular Tomahawk, but still have the same stat except that now they use Muskets that have faster reaction time and projectile, and their 20 wood cost is replaced with 20 Coin.

    A Card will be needed to enable this unit which also disable regular Tomahawk but won't transform all of your existing Tomahawk, but you still can ship Tomahawk from the Homecity.

    Japanese

    Ashigaru Spearman

    Idk Japan just felt not right without the Spear Wielding Ashigaru, while Ashigaru Musketeer does use Spear in Melee, having a Pikeman Variant for Japan centered around Ashigaru would be nice to have.

    For Stats they could cost 60 Food and 20 Coin, having 150 HP, 12 Melee Attack with Cavalry Bonus(x4) and Shock Infantry(x2.5), 34 Siege Attack, and 5 Speed, and Ashigaru Musketeer Cards also affect them.

    Livestock suicide against Mexicans

    Posted: 14 Jun 2022 10:55 AM PDT

    When I saw people playing against Mexicans on maps with lots of livestock (e.g. Mongolia, Texas, Kamchatka), the opponents of Mexicans will sometimes delete the livestock they've collected right away in case the Mexicans would take it for the hacienda trickle. I'm wondering if this is an effective way to deal with Mexican boom, or it's actually a bad tactic that comes with a great opportunity cost, since haciendas can train cattle per se.

    need help beating Japanese army composition and map control

    Posted: 13 Jun 2022 06:26 PM PDT

    I recently started playing aoe3 again, and I have been using Italy, USA and Britain. I have difficulties dealing with the Japanese army composition of ashigaru and their anti-inf artillery. If I train hus to take out the cannons, they get smacked by the ashigaru and if I train culvs to take out their artillery, I find that I practically can't keep up with their artillery production. This often results in me turtling and losing 3/4 map control and end up on mills or plantations around 20-25 mins. I also usually use infantry units and train artillery from a fort or 1 or 2 artillery foundries.

    Any advice would be helpful as to what I should train/do.

    I usually do a ff or sf build order.

    African Outlaw stat breakdown (and why the Archers are insane)

    Posted: 13 Jun 2022 07:30 AM PDT

    So, African Outlaws (the Desert Archer, Desert Warrior, and Desert Raider) have a ton of potential. The Archer and Warrior are available to Euro/Asian civs on African maps and all 3 are always available to the Hausa and Ethiopians. I took their cost and used the formula (0.84f = 0.6c) for the cost comparisons, despite the fact that normal units cost mostly Food while African Outlaws cost mostly Coin and each can have difficulty in procurement. Here's what their base stats are like when compared to their parallel units - the Crossbowman, Musketeer, and Hussar:

    Desert Archer vs. Crossbowman:

    • +26% cost (or +5% cost w/Loyal Warriors)

    • +50% average damage, faster fire rate

    • +28% melee damage

    • +50% siege damage, +100% siege range

    • +10% ranged resist

    • +6% movement speed

    • 2x vs heavy infantry rather than 1.25x

    • Has a weaker long-range attack from ranges 17-22

    Desert Warrior vs. Musketeer:

    • +23% cost (or +3% cost w/Loyal Warriors)

    • +22% average damage, faster fire rate

    • -8% melee damage, +0.5x against cavalry (so +7.5% more damage vs. cav)

    • +20% siege damage

    • -7% HP

    • +6% movement speed

    • 20% ranged resist rather than 20% melee resist

    • Can swap stances to get siege or melee resist or all 3 at the cost of 50% movement speed

    Desert Raider vs. Hussar:

    • Equal cost, or -18% w/Loyal Warriors

    • +50% siege damage, faster fire rate

    • -14% HP

    • +10% ranged resist

    • Melee damage is dealt as siege so better against Heavy Infantry and Villagers

    This is, of course, ignoring the 1 extra population each of these Outlaws has which can be nullified with 1 card for all civs except the Hausa (though the Ethiopian version of that card also increases Outlaw HP by 15% so that's kind of a wash). This also ignores how Outlaws get their Industrial and Imperial upgrades for free when you age up to those.

    Anyway, as you can see Desert Archers are pretty busted, Desert Warriors are a little better than Musks, and Desert Raiders seem balanced. If you've got a good Outlaw civ like Japan or Sweden then I do recommend Desert Archers as a supplement to your military (or just a few as a prodding tool to harass your enemy from long range). Ethiopia gets coin like crazy with the latest patch but unfortunately you only get Xbow/Musk/Huss so if you go for an Outlaw build you may want to spam the Archers but get forced into training one of the weaker Outlaws to support them (outside of team games where your teammate can make a goon-style unit).

    And as for the faster fire rates of the Archers and the Warriors, they're better for avoiding overkill but worse for scooting and shooting as well as the "alpha strike" which often determines snowballing in shootouts.

    Im a newbie and keep getting destroyed online… how can i defend myself in early-game?

    Posted: 13 Jun 2022 07:11 AM PDT

    I like the ottomans because i dont have to focus on vills and can concetrate on other things. I always get rushed by a few cavs which destroy my jans quickly and then destroy the barracks and by that time its pretty much over because i cant attack them in any way because my barracks are gone

    Panúco Waterway and Infinite Resource Shipments - worth it?

    Posted: 13 Jun 2022 10:14 AM PDT

    If you age up with the Tamaulipas federal state as Mexico, you get access to the Panúco Waterway card, which allows you to send resource cards without spending shipments, at the cost of taking three times longer to arrive. This also applies to the infinite Exploration Age shipments, allowing you to send an endless number of resource shipments as long as you have the card in your deck. However, these 300 res shipments now take around a minute to arrive (a rate of 5 resources per second).

    Is this strategy worth choosing Tamaulipas, a navy-focused state? Would it still be worth it on a land map?

    USA tavern rush strategy?

    Posted: 13 Jun 2022 09:04 AM PDT

    I've seen people doing this lately and I got defeated for multiple times by this strategy. I would like to know how this strategy works out, and the recommended decks and outlaws/mercenaries
