The old Oromo was complete trash and the changes to them were necessary and in the right direction.
The case of Hakkapelits is a bit more nuanced. Sweden did need either a skirm or a goon unit to deal with certain matchups (such as against Rifle Riders) so it was a necessary change. However, they could have made it a bit more unique. They could blend the old and new roles of the unit by giving them both the heavy and light cavalry tags. They could even keep the multipliers the same as before this patch, but reduce their ranged resistance. That would make them get countered by both skrims and goons from range, while flipping those counters in melee.
I correct you, the carolean exchanges very well vs Rifle Riders, they have a Heavy cavalry tag, and although he fights as equals vs carolean, the exchange of resources is in favor of Sweden. For that reason, I consider Lakota vs. Sweden is very favorable for Sweden, as long as the Swede doesnât make silly mistakes.
I think I donât care anymore. At my level for some time itâs been the same lame civs/ metas for so long itâs not even fun anymore. Getting leveled by the same hot garbage over and over is no longer tolerable. This pup isnât even going to scratch the surface. Iâm out.
They do worse against civs that have good dragoons. They still lack easily affordable skirmishers, so that should give you a few hints. Back when they were OP after release, i was playing mostly ports or Japan against them.
No opnion to any nerf or buff any fiction, but i think change this card is not a good move.
People use this card basically for Russian Blockhouse or Germans resources trickle. This is the main reason to nerf this card, right? Then the better way might be increase the cost of Russian and Germans shipments.
Directly nerf this card also unnecessarily nerf British ally and especially French ally too. I rarely see people use French ally. Is that really necessary?
Not really, the trickle doesnt make a difference for those allies, you mostly want to get musket through intervention and now you make get them like a few seconds later but it doesnt really affect them
French is completely useless as it is, so it also doesnt affect it.
even if they revert france back to the old consulate, it will still only be decent with Good Faith agreement so a lesser trickle also doesnt do much
Iâm more certain than ever that Swedenâs economy needs to be toned down like Iâve said in the past, and that Hakka nerfs donât need to be as drastic once the overall eco is fixed (although some changes are definitely warranted).
Iâm already seeing lots of people in ladder (Iâm top 200) in anticipation of the hakka nerf are simply staying in age 2, LITERALLY like I said, and are LAMING Sweden that way instead. Instead of putting all those resources into FF for Hakkas, theyâre just start with an extremely strong start. Whether consisting of 6 minute halbs, also possible by their OP eco, or a strong defense while they torp up and - they can easily in a short period of time push with non-stop leathers + carrols or huss + carrols, or all three if they so please.
Itâs like Brits used to be before the -100f start: fast age-up time, no sacrifice to army, no sacrifice to eco - just works hand in hand with zero effort or decision-making on what to sacrifice.
Swedes now could stay in age 2 massing Irish brigadier (very hard to kill with age 2 units), and they have mountain troopers (a pretty good age 2 skirmisher) plus a very strong economy.
In my opinion Sweden needs changes, I would bet to leave it as it was before with +100 food but -1 villager, Leave the hakkapelite as it was before but 20% worse but that it is unlocked at age 2 and at age 3 it has the improvement of Veteran, for that it would be good if they removed the hussar, they gave Sweden a dragon or their own light cavalry, I think it would be much better although Sweden really doesnât need a light cavalry, for me Sweden is still strong without having to do Hakkapelita , Carolinoâs timiing push with a lot of mass of leather cannons improved at age 4 with the card is very OP, see players like âcelebrymâ who execute that well and have a very good ranking,
A few small buffs that I would give Sweden is that with the blueberry letter the blueberry bush lasts a little longer because the truth is that the benefit is too little with respect to food to have a limit of 85 villagers
China card should not be nerfed
Feitorias seems to me that they will turn it into a garbage letter, I think that if they cut the food collection in half, it will be enough
Sweden could always stay age2. They have the best age2 in the game. Have had the best age2 since the day DE closed beta came around. They also have a huge reserve of stealth OP units, hakkas arenât the last, so the saga isnât over yet. Just give it time.
Grenadiers are heavy infantry so they are countered (hard) by skirmishers and are de facto countered (soft) by cavalry. The tag does only bad no good.
Leather cannon is a âtrueâ artillery.
