英格兰最具有标志性的特色是“城堡网络”，代表着他是一个防御能力非常强悍民族。这是游戏设计的初衷。这个设计是完美的。
其余的设计几乎都是围绕着这个。
使得英格兰能够在安全范围内采集食物，并农田采集效率高。
为何需要这么设计？我其实知道原因的。原因是因为长弓兵。
长弓兵在进攻时非常害怕骑兵。遇到骑兵时无法逃脱骑兵的追击。所以英格兰只能防御，无法进攻。需要大量的长弓兵才能发起进攻。我想设计师大概是这么思考的。
根据我的经验。在英格兰发起进攻时，敌对的骑兵就会趁虚而入击杀村民。当击杀了大量村民之后，敌方骑兵开始包剿长弓兵。最后英格兰很容易因此输掉比赛。为了避免出现这种情况，大型的比赛中，英格兰长弓兵从来不敢发起进攻。在9赛季或许会好很多。
根据以上分析。我建议，加强长弓兵的Q。我非常喜欢游戏刚出来时的长弓兵。目前长弓兵无法使用Q。
长弓兵在对抗重甲部队时DPS非常低。因此，加强长弓兵的Q并不会造成错误的加强。而且长弓兵的Q并非是个强大的技能。
这个地标目前赠送国王，它的功能都是被使用为能够击杀村民的免费骑兵。是一个错误的设计。我个人认为，这个几乎是2TC进入时代3的最重要的方式。但完全偏离了游戏设计初衷，被玩家当成了一个免费的福利“0元购买”。为何不改变成进入就可以回血不需要脱离战斗，不再赠送国王。为何不尝试一下？
[translation]
English is known for their network of castles, showing it is designed to be a strong defensive civilization. This is the best design and other bonuses are all related to it.
It allows English to gather food safely with good farms.
Why is it designed like this? I know why – longbows
Longbows are countered by horses when moving out to attack. They can’t run away that’s why English can’t attack unless having a mass of longbows. I think this is what designers thought.
Based on my experience, while English moves out, opponents run in with calvary into army-less base. After they killed villagers, their calvary turns their target into longbows which defeats English. To prevent this, in tournaments English longbows never moves out to attack. (it will be better maybe in season 9)
Based on my analysis, I suggest to buff their Q-ability. I loved longbows in early release. Now they are unable to use it. They have terrible DPS vs heavy army. Therefore, buffing their Q-ability doesn’t overbuff them since they are not OP to begin with.
The abbey of kings gives a free king as for today. It serves the purpose as a free knight that kills villagers. I personally think it’s a wrong design. It has become the most important way to 2TC into castle age. But it is unfaithful to the original design of English. It’s a free-to-grab thingy. Why not remove the free king but provides healing even in combat?
“They have terrible DPS vs heavy army”
They havnt DPS VS heavy army
Longbows are on of the best units of the game, and S9 will make english even stronger, so there is not a single reason to buff them.
Removing the king will just kill the 2TC-FC build order and will make the feudal All in build order the best again, turning again English from a defensive civ to an aggresive one, wich is even more unfaithful.
No, age 2 is very important. The game has only four age. Players cannot enter age 3 without experiencing the content of age 2. Entering age 3 should be very difficult. Entering Age 4 is a miracle. The transition of civilization is the theme of the game. Cannot exist universally, consider entering age 3 and 4 in age 1。
Players cannot easily have the right to enter Age 4. At present, a large number of confrontations are taking place in age 3 and age 4, with many lasting over an hour. The confrontation in age 4 was too long. The game should be able to quickly end when entering age 4, because there is no age5. Currently, after easily entering age 4, players have played for another half hour and feel very tired, not knowing how to end the game.
I agree, but I don’t understand its relationship with better Longbows.
I hope that longbows can be used more flexibly and have more gameplay options
They are the best archers in the game, we don’t need them to be more flexible. They already kill other archers, cavalry and infantry, and with the new season, they will just easy-kill mangonels and springalds + they will have 2 more range, and 20-40% speed attack when defending. English is an S or S+ tier civ, and it is the easiest civ to play. Why should they have more gameplay options?
In all your posts I feel like you think English are garbage and French is the most OP civ in the game, and that is totally wrong.
in 4v4 archer is not op
now nobody use longbows’s Q.it should be useful.When the game was released, I really liked the Q of Longbowman
I really like the feeling this video gave me when the game was first released. Q looks very beautiful, and I really hope to see longbowmen like this often in the game. It’s also his characteristic
In this scene, the most prominent one is the Q of the longbow！！！

Yeah, it looks nice, but there is no need to buff it. The ability is still there and can be used, and from S9 they will have no counter, so making them invincible against cavalry too is a bad idea.

I think increasing the range of all archers by 2 is a terrible idea. Without a doubt, the game will become very bad.
I think we should reduce the current range by 1 and then have the technology to increase it by 2
longbow no DPS in knight.
Lol, that is not true. They deal +1 Damage against knights than anyone else and they have +2 range. They are the best archers against Knights and MAA. In Imperial Age, they can kill knights without a problem, even when they are not supposed to do so. An English player doesn’t need to create crosbowss at all.
I don’t know what game are you playing, but knights are not as strong as you think, neither longbows are the garbage you say they are.
I lost a game against a Conq Player who was using MAA + Longbows, 50% each. I had MAA+Knights+1 mangonel. It was supposed that I had a better comp since Knights counter both MAA and Archers, and MAA should resist Lonbows as well, but they didn’t. Lonbows just killed all my army, when you say they have “no dps”. We had almost same score, same army size and I had a bit better eco. What you say about Longbows is totally wrong, they are pretty good.
It’s impossible, unless the terrain is narrow or your knight doesn’t fight against the longbow. As soon as a knight approaches the longbow, the longbow has no resistance
It can only be said that you have been letting the knights die one by one. No simultaneous attacks were launched.
If the longbow can do it, then all archers will be able to do it. The attack power of the longbow has only increased by 1。
I was once killed by an opponent using 10 Japanese knights from Age 3 to kill 100 longbowmen from Age 2, but their knights did not attack simultaneously. I have built over ten shooting ranges. He attacked twice, and I died with a longbow. After 10 deaths, it is difficult to kill knights anymore.
1V10, a knight can easily kill ten longbows. Knights hardly lose blood. And it can continue to kill 10 longbow combinations of 4-5 groups.
It is not impossible, hit and run + tons of infantry in the frontline are enought. We all know that when Knight approaches it is over, the problem is that you can’t approach. You can watch this game of Valdemar Playing english against JdA. With your logic, it is an easy win for JdA. In reallity, it is not. Is an even match. Nobody is as noob to play Archers only, you just need some infantry on the frontline.
It was all the army at the same time, 90+ soldiers. There was no way to get to those Longbows with almost 40 MAA on the frontline while longbows were buffed with +40% attack speed with all techs.
+1 damage and +2 range. And yes, that is basically why there is a post talking about ranged units being OP. The only one in this game that thinks that Knights are op and longbows/archers are weak is you.
You went 100 longbows without a frontline. Nobody does that. You only need some spearman and Mounted Samurais will die.
Only a silver/gold league player loses 10 longbows against 1 Knight. And you are talking like English only have 1 unit. Lonbows are ok as they are, they need no buffs, and Knights are definetily not OP. You can watch a normal English vs French matchup here.
This discussion with you is nosense, I won’t waste my time answering anymore. You are like “archers are useless, knights are the only good units on the game and it is a free win”. You say that in all your post. You can keep thinking like that, but we all know that is not even close to be true.
