Welcome, explorers! As February is upon us, weβre kicking off the month with a brand-new update, a new festival, and plenty of new changes to explore in Age of Empires III: Definitive Edition!
interesting changes. not sure i agree or follow the ever more mercs oriented sweden, i just dont think it is a terribly fun way to play, and it kind of seems to just result in landsknecth spam in treaty.
also i am a little concerned france hasnβt gotten more lategame nerfs, here are some reasonable suggestions:
make wilderness warfare to 15% (rather than 20% it is now), reason: the card gives way to much of a boost, making french skirmishers far and away the strongest in the game (25-45% buff over normal skirmishers)
make Gribeauval System to 15% (rather than the 20-25% it is now), reason: why does france get the strongest art card in the game? the faction does too many things too well at the same time.
these would be 2 places to start, then look back later to see if it was enough.
