Hi all, As I was writing another post, was thinking of how hand infantry gets clustered and destroyed by artillery, cover mode overs some ranged/artillery resistance at the heavy cost of movement speed. While ranged have the stagger mode a spreed a part formation. Although I understand some stances act as quasi actives, to be used temporary in specific moments, as trample for cav, cover mode for hand infantry both are underwhelming. Cover Mode Ideally if ranged/artillery fire in volley we could

Preamble This post follows on from squamiger’s work [Civ Proposal: The Omanis] on the framework for a potential Omani civilization. I drew on it for inspiration, and as a natural consequence — when you draw inspiration from something, you always want to do better and go further! So I pushed my research further, going as far as to build out a full model for an Omani civilization.

in which musk vs musk matchups should you prefer to go melee on the other musks? my opinion ashigaru wants ro stay almost always ranged musketeer almost always ranged, only melee ashigaru janisary usualy melee, but ranged against sepoys and soldados sepoys usualy melee unless against soldaddy and soldaddy almost always melee

So, to TLDR it - the British Manors, Rangers, Royal House and a change to British Revs are my main points, the rest are just wishlisty (just for a bit of fun). British Manors Currently the only Unique building to not be …unique looking. There’s plenty of threads with plenty of examples of what it could look like - but essentially a modest Manor House (visually can evolve from timber frames to brickwork).

I noticed that the upcoming Danes faction is reminiscent of how the modern state of Iran fights. I can think of two ways in which this is true: The Danes faction can manipulate/toll other player's shipments, and the historical reason for this is that Denmark controlled the Danish straits between the North and Baltic Seas. Similarly, Iran controls the Strait of Hormuz and can stop or toll shipments passing through.

what are the best purely naval side of things best civs in your opinion? i think USA is best purely because of the hulk card - ironclads have 25% dodge chance. with the mention of town centers, i just realized an alternative strategy for this - spamming outhouses and forts as hungary/romania

The video analyzes the German Landwehr unit in Age of Empires III: Definitive Edition, highlighting its cost-efficiency and ability to drain opponents' economies through favorable skirmish trades. It demonstrates how focusing on macro and mass-producing these marksmen allows players to control engagements and out-value enemies strategically.

So much AOTW that I will need an intervention to get off the game by mid sept. Got the build ahead of schedule so I could showcase the new Scotish and Romanian civs for you. Also they revamped some of the bots to be harder to fight.
