Age of Empires 3 A thought bout Pavisiers - I think an age4 card called windlasses would be great. Lowering their rate of fire, but giving them siege dmg in return. This would allow lategame use for pavisiers without degrading bersaglieri. Basically making them somewhat of an artillery piece like huaraca.

What civ is your most least played or least enjoyed?

Posted: 09 Jun 2022 04:35 AM PDT

for me it's the Indians as they felt too...European to me.

One fast strike is that they literally don't have a Navy as all of their Ships are all European ships.

Another is their Wonder felt too basic(for me at least), sure they have one of my favorite wonder the Karni Mata, but their other wonders are often just have limited use, like Taj Mahal Ceasefire, Charminar Gate needing to train Mansabdar first, and Tower of Victory Inspiration.

lastly is their units, while I like that their unit is mostly needing food and elephants are fun to play with, their other non elephant units are almost similar to their European counterpart, Sepoy is just stronger Musketeer mixed with some Janissary attributes(Battlefield Construction), unlike other Musketeer Variants who have their own style like Janissaries High Hitpoints, Ashigaru Fast Speed, Carolean Fast Ranged Micro Focus, and Regular more Range. The only commendable and fun non elephant unit to play with when playing Indians is their Rajput who are speedy high damage moderate health Pikeman.

Wars of Liberty or Napoleonic Era?

Posted: 09 Jun 2022 10:04 AM PDT

Tried to get the definitive edition on sale recently but ran into some problems with it on my computer (aka it's too old/bad somehow). Which of these two mods offers the more complete experience for AOE3? As in, which has better graphics, units, balance, more variation and unique mechanics, etc.

Ethiopian Mountain Monasteries are now better than Dutch Banks

Posted: 09 Jun 2022 06:41 AM PDT

As well they should be! Considering they use up an expiring resource. To anyone who missed it, yesterday they reduced the price of Monasteries by 20 wood and increased the amount of coin they gather from mines baseline by 0.16.

I ran some numbers using the old "food = 0.84, wood = 0.5" and found that Banks now cost 372% more than MMs but only grant 316% more coin/second baseline (with MMs increasing gather rate from any villager mining upgrades as well). It used to be that Banks cost 328% more but granted 381% more coin so people generally wouldn't spam them over the map like Torps. I guess a similar economic comparison could be made to Torps as well, which also consume resources, though MMs buff all vills gathering at the mine by 20% too which is pretty huge and makes Ethiopia the fastest coin gather civ by a lot. They even get one of these mini-Banks for free with each ageup!

Anyway, it's now my opinion that Ethiopian builds should try to maximize Monastery coverage on the map in each age, maximize villcount gathering from said Monasteries, and focus on units that use lots of coin, influence, or both. I've been personally having a blast using Outlaw builds in both 1v1s and 2v2s (100% coin from MMs, sending all Outlaw cards and aging with Sudan to get the 2 wagons for Watch Towers), but there are probably some great Native builds, Cannoneer/Merc builds, or even potentially Levy builds out there that utilize this same strength (Levied Bowmen are the best bang for your buck btw).

I don't train or ship Abuns myself but they also got buffed by the same gather rate and pay off in 2.8 minutes base rather than 3.4 minutes like they used to. Great for helping fend off enemies attacking your far-off mines as well. I also really like Tabot for the late-game and just destroying/rebuilding MMs in lieu of switching to Fields for mining.

Unless I get to age IV and get gendarmes roaring I just can't seem to win. Any tips?
