English r 2 hard! My suggestions xP

helo

I think we can all agree that english r too hard to play. I’m barely Diamond III even tho I have a whole 20 APM and have watched # ##### ##### on how to play the civ!!! Here are my suggestions to make the civ easier, which I think is necessary xD

  • Horsemen do 2 much dmg to longbows!!! U can make spears but then archers kill them. Introducing: THE SPEARMAN AT ARMS, has tons of ranged armor (and melee too, just to be sure), oneshots horsemen, twoshots knights and is decent against every other unit type

  • but what is the point of the man at arms then??? Well, I have a solutioon!! TC spawns one man at arms every 30 second for free, starting in the dark age. That way, the enlgish maa would stil be relevent

  • Microing is hard!!! Thankfully, there isn’t too much of it with english (phew!). It could be better though! I propose we add an AUTO HARASS button on longbows. The longbows would automatically group up, pick the most vulnerable spots and shoot villagers! Of course this would be hard to implement, because u need to occasionally look at wat ur oponent is doing lool and it’s hard with fog of war. This is why I’m introducing my next poitn…

  • SPIES technology!!! Remove fow in dark age for 5 wood. This is historically accurate becuz james bond is english and hes a spy

  • sometimes I forget to queue villagers. Add an AUTO-QUEUE villager button pls (only for English tho, I don’t play other civs their 2 ez for me lmaooo)

  • longbows have not enuf range. This is why I propose adding a SNIPER unit in the gaem.

aniway, let me know what oter buffs we culd give english to make tehm easier to pley. My goal is to make it to conq 3 with just english thx

How much do you want to increase the range of the longbow? Beyond the center of town? :grinning:

yea that sounds reasonable. But den the english TC needs to have even MOAR range so I stand a chance in mirror matches

I really like the auto-queue villagers thing. It makes the game more friendly for new players.

Great write up.

If the English are too hard who is the easiest faction to play?

This has to be satire… well i at least found it humorous.

Make longbow has muskets too

Imperial Age tech Redcoats gives a musket with bayonet to the Longbowmen. Longbowmen get massive damage increase and brace charging cavalry

the problem with english is, your whole army is really slow.
Cav got a lot of buffs in the last patches and if made one little mistake with your army you will loose it completly and most of the time its over.

  • the attack speed is nice but other civs have nearly similar boni and they dont need a vil at the front for tower building.
  • place palings, they are nice if you wanna protect gold at the start but on the field its just useless, you cant use it for a retreat
  • my favorite option, the glory campfire. give us the healing function for longbows back. so many civs have healing functionality and you change it for a completly useless option, thats really ridicilous
