Now the french had a shot below the belt making them a pretty crappy civ. But now with the new patch coming out they will probably be pretty balanced.
List of reasons:
1. 100 extra food, this allows the french to age up below 4 minutes with 12 cdb's.
2. Awesome natives. With all the age 2 fighting we will be seeing after the patch, natives will pretty much own.
3. Skirms are now kick ass. So frenchies dont have to worry about those pesky ruyters/dragoons owning them up and down the block.

Keep in mind, the French FF is now shot to hell with those slow building ponies... you'll need the card ASAP. Also, other teams will have extra barracks and faster building pike/halbs to slow them down even more. Their skirms should kick some ass... they'll just continue to have a problem with orp raids.  |

Heres what I do with the french. Since I can't build ponies untill age III anyway I build a bunch of musketeers (cause i can't build skirms until the III age niether). Anyway that holds em off long enough to make it to the 3rd and then boom like crazy. Next thing you know theres about 30 skirms and 50 ponies up you're ass looking for that nerve that makes you shit everywhere. Anyway it works pretty well. Just becaust they can't FF doesn't mean that they are a sucky civ. you just need to find another way to use them.

Well jake normally i would sa GO FF YOU NUMB NUT. but youve got the right idea witht eh patch, with Fortress time extended to 20 seconds it takes longer and every civ will be rushing your ass, so yea, youve got the right idea.
