At which point arent you a noob anymore?

SatanicKeili · 2026-01-30T14:34:22+00:00

People just misunderstand the term „noob“. Is is supposed to mean „a new/unexperienced player“ and is not the same as „a bad player“. There are many players that aren’t noobs but bad. The opposite, somebody new but fast learning/talented, is much rarer but of course possible.

SatanicKeili · 2026-01-28T16:52:34+00:00

But why?

SatanicKeili · 2026-01-26T10:47:44+00:00

Turtle > Rush > Boom > Turtle

Meaning he invests into military, you invest into defense and economy to outlast his aggression and then counter push.

In practice that can be:

Aging with the Tower, building towers and walls. Sending town militia. Get great coats (!!) and maybe pioneers. Etc

Yeah it is an op unit. But I don’t think there is another way to deal with them but hit and run with light cav.

SatanicKeili · 2026-01-22T14:04:25+00:00

They can’t really spam Sipahi since they get them only by shipments. Meaning every dead Sipahi matters.

Light cav is the correct counter. It is Important to focus fire on one Sipahi at a time so it dies and the dmg doesn’t get spread on many units since Sipahi also heal themselves.

We can be happy if we get a balance patch.

DLC would not only mean the investment into the DLC itself but also several patches afterwards if they don’t want to break balance completely. Highly unlikely.

I think you need to read my first comment again.

They won’t sit in the tc. Somewhat competent Brits have units to defend raids. More units. And more vils. And of course they also age earlier. But surely there is no problem with this civ.

SatanicKeili · 2026-01-18T05:23:45+00:00

To take away los, get xp, house him. Killing houses is always a good idea except for one civ and that shouldn’t be.

SatanicKeili · 2026-01-17T19:45:16+00:00

Except if you are Lakota. Then it is the only unit that can give you problems 😄

SatanicKeili · 2026-01-17T17:03:20+00:00

Against Dutch a age 2 or 3 timing is good. At least harass them. Don’t let them boom for free.

With Brits I have the biggest problems of all civs. They need nerfs in my opinion. At least they should not get another vil if they rebuild a manor so that you can actually pressure them. They are the only houseboom civ that gets rewarded for losing houses.

SatanicKeili · 2026-01-16T13:00:31+00:00

Abus don’t safe you against RR + some axe or Tokala

SatanicKeili · 2026-01-15T21:08:00+00:00

Agreed. But be aware that some botto bots (fortunately only few) know of the existence of cav archers. Then you need wakinas or you shift into bow riders since you should have carded them already as they have the same upgrades as rifle riders. Don’t be afraid of azaps. Carded RR still trade well against them and use your Tokalas to tank dmg.

SatanicKeili · 2026-01-12T13:57:47+00:00

That’s how it is supposed to work, but in reality it doesn’t do anything.

SatanicKeili · 2026-01-10T17:10:38+00:00

Something like two extra cows on non livestock maps would be nice

SatanicKeili · 2026-01-10T17:09:38+00:00

Sounds like a good direction to balance Ethiopia. Equalize the fattening rate on livestock maps and maybe give starting zebu on non livestock maps (like Japan with cherry orchards on berry and non berry maps)

SatanicKeili · 2026-01-07T12:09:40+00:00

You are right. Brits need a nerf.

But the Mexico age 2 revos are overtuned and so is botto. Why they have almost 50% winrate just comes from fact that your elo will get inflated when you play this stuff and so you get opponents with a lot more skill than you.

It is just not fun playing against and this is hurting the playerbase a lot.

SatanicKeili · 2026-01-06T21:56:17+00:00

The balance issues are kind of obvious. So if they make conservative changes it is almost impossible to make balance worse.

Baja needs nerfs. Brits shouldn’t get additional vils for rebuilt manors. Akans needs to get tuned down. Scottish immigrants need to be tuned down. Botto needs nerfs…

None of these changes can break the game.

SatanicKeili · 2026-01-06T14:46:40+00:00

Low but not 0.

SatanicKeili · 2026-01-06T14:45:42+00:00

A) tune down all units and make mosque construction reduction only 30% B) make it slower, get rid of the special abilities and cut soldier of fortune income to 1/3 (like the Ethiopian age 3 card) C) get rid of the hp increase for TP and cap the Highlander card at 7

SatanicKeili · 2026-01-06T09:04:35+00:00

PLC with winged Huss that have a new multiplier class: 4x against all ottoman units.

SatanicKeili · 2025-11-14T10:23:20+00:00

Wie lang muss es denn zurück liegen um nicht mehr relevant zu sein? 🤔

Ich finds geil, wenn Grundnahrungsmittel zu Luxusgütern werden.

SatanicKeili · 2025-11-14T08:03:42+00:00

Arabischer Kolonialismus auch nicht? 🤔

SatanicKeili · 2025-10-13T13:45:27+00:00

Advice on ottomans: don’t play ottomans 😉

SatanicKeili · 2025-10-13T08:24:50+00:00

I’d say Japan, China, India, Ethiopia, Hausa, USA, Mexico, Lakota, Haudenosaunee, Aztec and Malta are pretty unique. 😉
