3v3 br

so hun - mong - vik is best or hun - mong - maya (fimp eew , rape econ) ?

Also, for yuca

hun - mong - pers / maya ?

baltic i asuume its hun- mong - vik coz water's soo important.

So, what do ya think?

Huns on every map. They're good at everything. If Vikings are 10/10 on water then Huns are 8.5 or 9 out of 10. Japanese aren't even this good.

BR I would go Huns, Vikings, Mongols. It's the most versatile. Unless you can come up with a special strategy that will work then don't do anything different than this.

Baltic take Huns, Vikings, Mongols.

Yucatan I would go Huns, Mongols, Spanish.

If you are forced to choose Islands due to Baltic on BR then take Huns, Vikings, Japanese.

And if you're forced to go Arabia then take Huns, Mongols, Chinese. Or take Persians instead of Chinese and rape archers.


I was thinking though, and if you guys are playing a good team you don't stand a chance against then I say do something crazy. Come up with a weird strat. Roll the dice. Maybe sling your Hun player on a land map, do something they don't expect. Worth a shot, you're not going to win in a straight up Hun/Mong/Vik war against some 1900's. They would have to make some huge mistakes for you to have a shot playing a normal game.

baltic: mong huns vik

yuca: mong spain + huns/mayans/celts/persians
huns->good if open map, sux else (if the map is easy to wall, they won't do s**t vs a decent waller)
mayans->do ok whatever the map is open or close
celts->op in dark, feudal and imp, weak in late castle
persians->do ok whatever the map is open or close (dumbos ^^)


ara: mong huns + chinese/mayans/persians/spain/teutons
chins: best third civ if you have someone who can handle their start
mayans: best third civ ex-aequo, esp if you have troubles with chin start
will be good too if game is laggy
pers spain teutons: cool civs if pocket, but no arbalest available (not even xbows for spain) can be deadly if you are side

isles: vik huns + jap/sarra/mayans
jap: stronger early feudal
sarra: better from late feudal to imp
mayans: better in late imp (+20% wood on their island)

CSA_J_Conner wrote:no house is a big bonus.......the res you save with jap is minimal. With a decent grush you will have around 70+ pop in 20 mins. Thats 13 houses = 390 wood + time to build each house. You will save atmost 200 / 250 wood on mill/farm/camp.


Huns got pala late game + HCA. Japs are slow civ, not really good at raiding. Stable bonus rox too. Helps you maintain pop. Huns got full trash (jap halbs are better tho ). Japs no bloodlines, no hussar.

Jap <<< hun on water. Hun grush is second only to vik.
