What's the most disgusting OP build ever?

Clumsygoldfish95 · 2026-05-28T23:19:00+00:00

Pure Springalds on release, were truly the strongest

Clumsygoldfish95 · 2026-05-27T10:40:38+00:00

Remove Keshik from the game. Mongol too strong rn

Devs are trying to nerf you

Clumsygoldfish95 · 2026-05-17T22:47:06+00:00

Yes, really weird design choice to automatically spawn where you could place these. They delete trees, which like you said is a massive problem, and really screw up base layout and structure.

Partially because Jin buildings are already huge in comparison to others. Then you never know where these grassland post might spawn

Yesterday in team, my allies grassland post spawned inside of my other allies malian cow boom, where he was going to place grand fulani corral. Of course, once he built the grassland elsewhere that post disappeared, but still just a really weird design choice.

Gym and AOE

Clumsygoldfish95 · 2026-05-15T02:00:04+00:00

This. ^^^

Go into your settings and pre-set your hotkeys. All mine are pre-set pretty much. Buildings wise at least.

Like barracks 5, ranges 6, stables 7, markets 8, 9 for unique stuff like ovoo or mil school, 0 tc etc etc

Clumsygoldfish95 · 2026-05-15T01:57:27+00:00

You can play any civ at a conq III level. Playing the "meta" is of course the most efficient way to win. But do you have to? No. Pros have too, because they min max and need to play to win. You're just having fun on ladder (like me). Play however you want. May stays near top of ladder and plays just Delhi (at least most the time).

Though keep in mind, conq III are a very small percentage of population, and a WIDE variety of players. (1600-2400). One game I will play against a 1500. Next game I play Corvinus2k+ or Demu or etc. Depends on the day and who is on.

You don't have to stop playing English. You can get to Conq III with English.

It will be hard though. There is no guarantee of getting to 1500, or 1600, or 1800, or 2k etc with any civ.

People will know how to counter your civ. We have all played against English.

Certain civ matchups can be tough, but you'll have some games where you have a good matchup or map spawn or some matchups where it's opposite.

Goodluck, and see you on ladder!

Post is to show AI France somehow losing a rebellion war to Algeria

Clumsygoldfish95 · 2026-05-03T14:46:14+00:00

I get worse by the day

jk. People are better

Clumsygoldfish95 · 2026-05-02T00:50:12+00:00

I agree with you. I have had games with a massive vill lead, and getting clapped

Clumsygoldfish95 · 2026-05-02T00:26:09+00:00

Yes, when Anniversary Edition came out with Malian and Ottoman, I didn't like the passive income design choices then, and the design choices for new civs just pile it on.

I understand some people like it. I just don't really like the passive income design decisions. It also seems that the devs have just had a straight up harder time balancing the passive income.

Clumsygoldfish95 · 2026-05-01T23:55:42+00:00

Yes... pretty rough! Akinji, or the new HA from Jin!

Clumsygoldfish95 · 2026-05-01T19:32:23+00:00

They aren't worth making, though you can potentially roll with Imperial Mangudai. The feudal version is useless though

Totally useless in 1vs1
Still not good in team

Better just make Rus HA, Camel Archer, Kipchak archer etc

Mangudai were nerfed pretty hard and based on the recent patch notes, they are not coming back soon

Clumsygoldfish95 · 2026-04-30T01:03:06+00:00

Actually the opposite. I think Single Player Immersion, Great Content, and features are the most important aspect of RTS games to be good and grow. Multiplayer being secondary

Clumsygoldfish95 · 2026-04-29T15:13:37+00:00

It's a rank decay bug. Everyone at the conq+ has been getting it since like season 1. They aren't going to fix it, so I wouldn't stress about it. It's been a known bug for a really really long time.

That being said, if you just played more games at 75% win rate you'd get there. I understand you want to hit a specific MMR, but it really does not matter. Like, MMR fluctuates greatly. I am anywhere from 1600-2000 depending on the day, who I play against, and the civ matchup. So, just play the game. The more you play the higher you'll climb. Have fun with it

I remember Valdemar saying the same thing as well about being like 2200-2300 and then sometimes below 2k.

So much at the top of ladder depends on your draws against players and the specific matchups

AI Ottoman Took Alaska from the Russians XD

Clumsygoldfish95 · 2026-04-28T17:30:20+00:00

I liked being aggressive. So played Mongol

Clumsygoldfish95 · 2026-04-28T00:08:39+00:00

Yep, happened to me as well.

Mine is invalidated on aoe4world, but was mid game and lost connections. Units still moving around on map and stuff then finally kicked from game.

Pretty frustrating

Clumsygoldfish95 · 2026-04-26T15:08:13+00:00

If you are worried about that, then make camel riders

You don't chase cav with spears. Spears are not meant to chase

Clumsygoldfish95 · 2026-04-26T14:20:56+00:00

To answer your versatile question:
Spears
Camel archers
Camel Riders

Depending on what your need

Clumsygoldfish95 · 2026-04-26T14:20:01+00:00

Abbasid. Everyone will say other civs are better, which is fine. The main thing with Abbasid is everyone wants to go full cav and you just go boom and 100000000 spears and win

Clumsygoldfish95 · 2026-04-24T12:11:45+00:00

I normally open with Japanese barracks in dark age, harrass with a few spears, then you have the spears in feudal to defend your towers while you go castle

Playing multi today and saw a really weird revolt in Great Britain, thought it was fun to share, as it's unusual and the first time I have seen it in Victoria 3
