Seriously, why hasn’t the Teuton tower rush been nerfed yet?
Even for someone like me who has dealt with plenty of tower rushes, this one is absurdly difficult to handle. It feels overtuned and unfair compared to other civs.
The developers already nerfed strong tower rush civs like Koreans and Incas, so why is the Teuton tower rush still left untouched? It honestly doesn’t make any sense.
“Towers garrison twice as many units” bonus should absolutely be moved to the Castle Age. You already nerfed the Incas for similar reasons, so why are the Teutons still allowed to keep this unchanged? It’s completely inconsistent and hard to justify.
I assume we’re talking about Arena TG.
It used to annoy me too when I was a beginner, but as I got better, I realised the best thing to do is just ignore it. The Teutons have to invest twice as many villagers to do their TR, which means they have 5 fewer villagers gathering resources.
So rather than building a counter-tower, try to buy yourself enough time to reach the Castle Age and then build a Castle to finish the push. Don’t be afraid to take resources from outside your base or even from your allies’ bases

ofc you want countertowers, just the defensive variant out of range to ristrict their expansion.
adding a lot of houses and once in feudal ofc stone walls as containment is ofc the most important adaptation here.
However teuton trushes ARE indeed very dangerous especially on high level where you see people adding ranges behind it (it’s very tough to execute as it has so many aspects you have to pay attention to). And then it gets tricky.
I personally would like if all civs would get the extra garrison capacity and arrows like teutons do. 5 is just too little, often forcing vills out and be vulnerable - and the damage output against is often also too low because of that (also because of towers missing units, but that’s a different story). Ofc Teutons should get a compensation for that change, but imo it would actually fall under the policy of “nerf trush bonusses because they are so technical and cheesy” which I think is good, mostly because being trushed like that can drive away newer players. And I don’t like Noob-Bashers.
