My point is usually in feudal, spears not only fight better against knights than MAA, but they also require much less resources, and usually I can pull off gold relatively early to give one less place to raid.
The big issue IMO with garrisoning rams is ungarrisoning is so unwieldy.
Tbh in 3s or 4s I try to get imp ~15 minutes and then I the equivalent of have 5 TCs, 4 of which produce 1/4 cost villss.
Hi.
Sorry, i cant good speak english.
My HRE build order:
Dark Age:
Feudal Age:
In Meinwerk landmark research siege tech then to maa shild.
As soon as it is build two baracks, push maa.
So far i havent loser with build order.
Yesterday I tried a new strategy, a fast imp with all the eco landmarks.
It’s far from perfect, and my opponent didn’t harassed me at all…
But still, I hit the age 4 before 16 minutes, during that time I had spears and outposts to protect myself. When I get my second TC, I start booming and build a lot of farms.
My 3 relics inside the landmark were more than enough for all the gold needed for aging up, and then in the age 4 I haven’t a single vill on gold, yet I was still able to spam spears, HCs and cannons.
He was able to catch up eventually, but didn’t had enough to counter my mass at that point.
Still, I’m sure that I can do better. I should probably train a bit more vills, put less vills on food at the start, and get to age 2 a bit later on, but then build a landmark after another.
Yeah this is HRE atm.
With water aka full water or hybrid 13 min Impirial is possible and 5 TC Boom after it with swabia.
If ur not sleeping rush to 120 villagers while u get a big amount of production and upgrades running.
Onestly, with swabia, I don’t see the need of adding more TC.
Unless you mean that with swabia it’s like having 5 TCs.
But anyway, yeah, HRE is a beast, they have great spears, the HCs are available as soon as you hit imp with few to non upgrades needed, and then you can spam castles and fortifications to defend yourself.
Still, it was fun, I just need to perfect my starting through.
The way I did it was:
Yeah, I felt it too that I could do it faster…
Maybe I should have a bit more vills on wood, to add a market to better balance the eco. Or maybe I need less spears, and just train them only when needed.
I was also fortunate with the map, since I had the back gold, 2 wood lines, and of course the sheeps under the effect of the chapel, and then I used the scout to bring there deers.
Also, I just noticed a bug in the post game results.
It’s not the first time that the graphic show me only when the enemy hit age 2, and not age 3 or 4…
I’m sure that he was in the age 4 since he trained springs and HCs. And it’s not the first time that it happens.
I’ll open a ticket for that, and for the fact that it didn’t show me the map post game.
they should have… There bracing is bugged before the patch and it hurts very much atm imo.
HRE should have after a fix a solid infantryblock.
I dont know if im a little imperfect in my opening but i play.
-6 on sheep
-prelate and villagers que
-prelat buffs food
for one base imperial u should build a market cause u will get gold extremly fast when its buffed by ur prelate or it should be in most cases inside ur chapel area.
Still, they have +3 armor and they are faster. Just that makes them great at burning down springs and protect gunpowder.
Onestly, even if they don’t brace, the HC shred everything to pieces…
I do more or less the same, but get on wood a bit earlier, to be better prepared for a barrack, spears and outposts.
Yeah even sooner for me…
The cathedral got me soo much gold with just 3 relics…
Question… do the chapel buff the cathedral too? And other buildings?
No it only does the resource collection buff to villagers.
The first thing i tested with HRE was if ur Units would get buffed in the aachen chapel radius after u get the army inspiring upgrade. But this doesnt work too. But I dont know if this should even work.
They fix would be a big step for the army composition.
it is catastrophic vs China if u want to counter there siege with cuverins but u cant protect ur siege from firelancers. And if ur try to use ur Maa u will see how much there explotion AoE makes even vs high armored not siege units.
Mixed in Landsknechte would be more effectiv too because they dont need to eat the Knightcharge anymore.
Im so hoping they will fix that today and missed it in the patchnotes lol …
Ah onestly I don’t even get the prelate military inspiring techs…
I never understood how it work, my prelates just heals units…
So much lost potential in that faction…
Auto inspire while walking after this upgrade and auto heal on attack move (they shouldnt int in the battleline and die) and a little buffing area for the army when they are carrying a reliq.
This would get much more reliq play than get 3 and put them into regnitz and thas everything. All 5 Relics at the 1vs1 map would be considered good to have.
Prelate first ALWAYS. Producing a vil first notably slows down feudal.
At this point you have two choices: Spam out knights and keep pressure the other side or rush Imperial.
