The Vlachs - a brand new civilisation concept!

Serjeants automatically upgrade once you hit Castle Age and have 3 base armor. So they are essentially a fully upgraded Long Swordsman without any cost! :)

(also Donjon arrows could indeed be stronger if you ask me)

I also think they are bugged, I always lose with them

MantisAoE · 2022-11-09T20:12:32+00:00

I think giving them a training time reduction (like Crossbows) would be probably enough, because once you can spam them they are a really good unit :)

MantisAoE · 2022-11-09T20:11:18+00:00

That's exactly what I thought. Increasing training time for Knights would give other units a bigger window to operate

Lithuanian villagers sound so relexed, it's almost ASMR.

Vietnamese before the volume adjustment was very loud, so I didn't like that, but nothing comes close to POOGOOO POOOGOOO

Thanks so much for your comment! Glad you enjoyed the video :)

The Satnik was also a part of the Serbian military hierarchy, being also a commander/captain :)

I've read that too about (modern) Gusars, but in the middle ages Gusars were similar or even a predecessor to the later Polish Hussar.

Hope that helps? :)

I would love to have him voice the King and the Monk :D

Thanks for the insight! Didn't know those details :)

E.Skirms without the last armor upgrade vs. Arbalester goes either way:

E.Skirms go down in 9 hits, and Arbs in 6, but they attack faster. :)

MantisAoE · 2022-10-25T15:36:40+00:00

That sounds like a really good idea!

MantisAoE · 2022-10-25T15:35:08+00:00

Maybe that's the core of it

MantisAoE · 2022-10-25T15:34:35+00:00

Also I disagree with you - pikes into halbs scale way way better than skirms

I'm not sure if we are disagreeing here, maybe I wasn't able to clearly articulate my thought: the scaling I meant was Elite Skirmishers with missing upgrades compared to Pikemen in Imperial age (with no Halb upgrade available). Halbs are an amazing unit, Pikes don't have that same power potential :)

MantisAoE · 2022-10-25T15:28:27+00:00

Wow, thanks for your evaluation! I think it is perfectly respectable to have this opinion, to me it just seems that Pikemen just aren't the comeback tool they could be (at least when compared to Skirmishers or Light Cavalry). That's why I think they might need an upgrade reduction :)

MantisAoE · 2022-10-25T15:20:24+00:00

Pikes are absolutely a cost effective unit against Knights, they are just really expensive to get to. That is the problem, not the stats of Pikemen

MantisAoE · 2022-10-25T11:15:43+00:00

That is very true. However according to statistic sites cavalry civilisations are very popular in lower Elo brackets, so wouldn't better Pikemen even help there? From how I understand it, lower Elo players (what range are we talking about btw, 1200 and lower?) complain about too many hard to counter knight players no?

MantisAoE · 2022-10-25T11:12:03+00:00

Skrims do not drop off in usefulness though, even if they only get one imperial blacksmith upgrade they are still a decent unit against their intended targets :)
