Owned!

I think im gonna become a lt colonel with germans and then play with ports and own everyone. this is my dream patch. Sioux, were boosted, germans are too, and even though its not THAT much more, its enough so i think it will make a difference. Eagle runners and cuirs got their asses handed to them, im quite happy.

and now uhlans have 30% ranged armor! i REALLY like uhlans

[boorules60]

Are you kidding? This is MY dream patch!!! Cav archers... cossacks... vill train time... eagles.... coyotes... war chief aura... I am going to fucking own with the Aztecs and Russians.

[mrniceguy]

russians baby. now i really have to switch... all previous cuir lamers will switch to russians

[pcups]

ben, the russian thing saves you a minute after building THIRTY batches of peasants. So russians werent really helped im sorry to say. Due to the fact that all calvary as at least 20% ranged resistance now. the +.75 % isnt going to help, except against cuirs.

most likely russians are just going to be the same, maybe a little better, but not by much. aztec are going to be different, but now more vulnerable to fast heavy infanrty and ranged calvary

[mrniceguy]

that stuff about multiplayer hacks... does that mean that i can't do josh's market strat without being detected?

[boorules60]

False. The faster building vills help enormously. One of the very weaknesses of the Russian economy is the fact that they have a low vill count early in the game. This will help to solve that. I can now age up to age 2 6 seconds faster meaning I can get all those vital age 2 shipments faster too since I send nothing usually in age 1. Moreover, once the rush starts, I will have a higher peasant count during every point during the rush since I usually don't stop building vills at any point during the rush so when I'm done, I'll be in much better shape. Also, in treaty games I will be maxed out on vills a minute sooner (like you said) and get imperial that much sooner. Oh yeah, and my cossacks and cavalry archers are going to kick some fucking ass. It about damn time.

The Aztec changes are less significant but still good in some scenarios. The Eagles are now about 12% weaker but are about 20% stronger against heavy cav (10% I guess if you count the ranged armor thing) which is not crushing because eagles are still the best light cav type unit in the game. They beat ruyters, dragoons, cav archers, and even some light inf like strelets, and skirms... even more so with attack dance. The ONLY heavy infantry I feared were rodeleros, but those got nerfed too. Do the math. I'll just have to get better at microing the fire pit and switching it to attack dance more when I'm not building shit. That will more than compensate for the eagles loss. The coyote thing isn't huge but will help a lot with skirms in open areas and with vill raids. The WC XP thing is HUGE, and I mean HUGE for our puma rush... It could easily get me another whole shipment or two which are vital to helping me recover quickly. Check out the game Tim and I won last night for more details.

[boorules60]

Consider it this way Patrick... the Russian build time is like your new German shipment thing. The added 4% or whatever only means that you'll be getting 1 "extra" shipment every 25 total shipments. Not significant, but it means throughout the game you'll be getting them just a few seconds earlier than you normally do... like my vills. It's not huge, but it'll help a bit.

[pcups]

well i was hoping for faster shipments for the germans but i guess i cant get everything i want . And i was thinking more in treaty for russian bonus, , not sup, but yea, it does help them a lot in sup.

But russians needed the boost for sup.

in reply to ben, not pat

[boorules60]

I realized what I did was click on the Patch 1.12 for Vanilla... NOT 1.04 for WarChiefs. Obviously, that patch has no natives and no treaty card changes and stuff because it's not needed. Those other fixes are good too. I always wished that the team cavalry card helped my poor coyotes. :/ I still think eagles are the best Aztec unit but this patch will help them against cavary based civs like the french and sioux, as if the aztecs needed better anti cav.

[pcups]

ben, there were no positives for the aztecs . towers, and pirates no get bonuses against them. and ERK got their attack reduced. Which means they probably wont own skirmishers at all now
