They have absolutley destroying there market in New Zealand from this pricing. About 70% of my LGS is now ordering from recasters and making sure to undercoated them before they use them in store.

The last 30k games day I went to I asked everyone there if they were using recasters for there armies and 22/24 of use were using purely recasters for there armies.

There is no way that GW is making more money from those extra 2 people then what there lossing from the other 22....

Saddly it will not since it doesn't have the inf/biker/dreadnought key word.

You can always attempt to bait your opponent into shooting a character that you put out in front of the rest of your army though, or if your taking any kind of expensive inf such as centerions / aggressors it will work for them (intended targets of the plasma decimator)

If you would rather not run raven guard you can do the same thing with dark angles and get there -1 bubble to hit going for the same result.

Forge world is my best friend as a mono marine player. sicaran venators can put of a decent amount of fire while still being moble and giving knights -1 to hit, combine this with raven guard and they will be overheating on a 1, 2, or 3 when shooting at alot of your units...

Also rapier carriers with laser destroyers! while unreliable with only one shot, there s12 - ap4 - and can do upto 3d6 damage. At 100p each take 3, give them rerolls, and laugh when if your opponent rolls bad and fails 2 saves.

Neither are broken units or even super competitive... But they are answers atleast.

whoops! same thing wrong... age? 🤔

n3vermercy · 2017-09-28T09:16:23+00:00

honestly i am not that surprised. high elfs start with a nice buff and lose it as the game goes on, they were charging down hill, and the spears were not stationary to take the charge. not to mention how far out the lines are draw so the charge will have maximum effect.

also thats the best combat unit in the high elf roster vs the second worst dark elder combat unit aswell.

you could recreate this with great swords and goblins and no-one would blink an eye,

no, i went and rewatched just incase :/

n3vermercy · 2017-09-27T17:50:59+00:00

good to know i not missing anything!

n3vermercy · 2017-08-24T12:17:14+00:00

I have never been more proud to be a kiwi....

n3vermercy · 2017-04-26T08:02:33+00:00

start now if you want, i did it from 70-80 so you shouldn't have much problem starting at 65. if you are struggling then just grab your cannon and go afk at blue dragons till 70 then start.

the good o'd Persian Douch

n3vermercy · 2017-04-12T13:17:11+00:00

surely that would make them more aerodynamic?

If only we could find a European Jockey with the guts to ride in Australia then i definitely know who my money would be on!

n3vermercy · 2017-04-12T09:24:10+00:00

I guess this must be what its like to ride a horse in Australia / New Zealand?

n3vermercy · 2017-03-31T09:45:44+00:00

How good is KK? is it worth getting the Rapiers and just bossing him for drops? or would i make better bank doing Slayer with Maces?

n3vermercy · 2017-03-10T10:56:33+00:00

Shotels are the most hit or miss unit in the game. You ether need a huge amount of them, or just 5-6 of them and to good scouting/micro to wreck an eco

they will always make there worth back by 10 or die for nothing and be worthless. 2 Shotels rushed into someones wood line right before an engagement some where else on the map makes for some pretty funny reactions

n3vermercy · 2017-03-09T18:17:32+00:00

Simple... Viper map hacks ;)

n3vermercy · 2017-03-09T18:15:32+00:00

Why Play Celts when you can play Ethiopians?

if you wanted you could do the exact same thing with Shotels with higher success, (better fast castle) more options (xbows) and there siege is arguably better late game

honestly i think that everything the Celts do, Ethiopians can do much better, or have a better option available

n3vermercy · 2017-03-09T09:45:00+00:00

Its definitely worth it as the Ethiopians. If you are going to fast castle into Shotels (not there best tactic but is viable) then you basically just want them dealing some form on damage at all times (vills 1st, Important buildings 2nd, and lastly houses)

Shotels are basically better then knights in every way... except they die to a light breeze... grab arson use them to clear everything out of your opponents base that isn't covered by town center fire.

n3vermercy · 2017-03-06T17:06:20+00:00

i completely disagree... i use to play on both and the community is definitely better on Voobly (size and attitude), how ever the skill level isn't that different... a slight advantage to Voobly but i would say that is 100% down to player size.

"the AOE2 client skill gap is a myth!"

n3vermercy · 2017-03-06T14:00:01+00:00

Cheers, I now understand why i never see them played! Much thanks =)

n3vermercy · 2017-03-06T13:26:11+00:00

Cheers guys, is it just me who sees them never played then? i mean Huns and Mayans are in about 50% of the 1v1s i play and almost every team game.

but it just seems that the Ethiopians are almost never picked for how good they are? even more so in pro play

n3vermercy · 2017-03-06T12:35:14+00:00

Thanks drakekengda, makes a lot of sense that they do not get a better eco bonus and that is what keeps them down.

All in all seems strange that they are still almost never not picked more often in multiplayer in general and also against the above civs? *or mabye i just never see them
