Okay. This really needs to be said. Dutch should have a musketeer.
They= the Devs.
They gave almost every euro civ a Musket type infantry deal of a unit.
They gave Germany Super boost via Hanover. x30 musk that level up and cav that does a super attack- Which is OP in sup and treaty- Drummers are also insanely useful in treaty especially
They gave France- A bit of freakin everything!
The current Jannisaries of Ottoman are crazy tanky and especially much better in treaty!
I dont know how or what would the Dutch Musketeers be implemented but they should be able to access it at late game kind of like how Ports get better Crossbows or how FREAKIN FRANCE GETS ACCESS TO GRENADIERS from the church card!
I hope you consider it! Besides the Dutch did go through a bit of reforms to rely less on mercenaries and militia and form an actual backbone for their military.
If the cost of accessing them is reasonably high. Its fine.
the dutch is one of the last remaining actually unique factions that doesnât simply get every unit type in the game. giving them musk would be a mistake, and also kind of pointless, they have so many other anti cav options, both their guard units are anti cav and they get skirmishers early.
you really donât need musketeers to have a good civ, Germans is fairly strong without any musk.
what the dutch need is some sort of age2 options, its tempo is super weak in comparison with other civs. i often have to stay in my base until i get a decent mass since other civs can mass up way quicker.
Nope, they donât âneedâ. Theyâre far from having a small selection of units, and thatâs without taking into account mercenaries on maps, as shipments, and other sources.
Just keep sending fusiliers like the rest of us worms. Not the the Dutch lack for gold and popspace - Iâd expect that adding a more standard musk would come at the cost of the whole bank thing that enables mercs so well with dutch in the first place and thats not really a good trade imo, especially for treaty.
Dutch had crossbow in the beta, but has removed for unknow reason.
This made him just too advanced, doesnât fit 16th centuries.
Should return crossbow and give them historical battles or even campaign, just like Ports.
Dutch got the amazing âquirkâ of all. Itâs army sinergise with economy.
Skirms? Cost more gold
Ryuter? Cost more gold
Artillery? Cost more goldâŠ
Dutch swin in gold⊠I think itâs even unfair against the rest. No army got this perfect sinergy.
The Dutch have the god-king unit of the Fusilier. Though, I must put this out there, I ONLY play 60 minute treaty matches so everyone has time to get all their upgrades and get a massive army. When I play the Dutch I get like 50 Fusiliers, with 525HP, 110 ranged attack, 80 siege, 70 melee, and theyâre like tanks. Fast, hard hitting, destroy anything. And since they only cost gold, which arenât a problem for the Dutch, theyâre great. I donât even waste money on the halberdier or skirmisher they have, just Fusiliers, Ruyters and heavy cannons.
Again, just from a treaty standpoint, I know in fast paced games, itâs very rare that someone gets time to train enough mercenaries and take advantage of the mercenary imperial age upgrade.
