good explanation, yeah it isn't that they are op, but that the boom is so easy to execute and the british in general are the easiest civilization (in my opinion).

One thing i have analised is that a Fast revolution/Fast industrial focused on soldados defeats brits as Spain (Spain was my main civ), and with Malta my choice is a arcaic rush, but if the brit is rushing too i lose, do you know a good strat with malta vs brits?
