i have seen so many pairs so far…german + russian in team games. team game is unplayable now. pls fix. this make me want to quit this game and go back to aoe2. the whole ladder is not fun
This works in 2v2 3v3 and 4v4. So all team games are unplayable. I guess devs are busy with AoM now no one cares to fix it. Your Russian ally just need to send a card then do nothing. The German player can beat at least 2 or even 3 guys by spamming this one unit. Aoe3 is so fun man…
Instructions unclear, nerfed aztec again.
I guess 1v1 is still playable, despite the otto lame we see very often on ladder. Team game is done
wait till you meet the 3v3 or 4v4 version with epthophiams Team- Camp
That is not even remotely as broken as this
on top of this 20202020
I think he means the russia german ethopian combo that has team tower for BH, outpost, warcamp/tower meaning the spawn point of the stupidly cheap patriarach’d inquisitors is now a 3 -4 tower forward thats also a shipment point.
Oh its Hungarian plains and you all only have 1 safe hunt? get shreked
also as a age 1 shipment, do not require German forward vill, and Russian blockhouse follow up
I dont understand, what are they doing?
Brainded strat that give you easily 2000 elo on team ranking
Germany has a card that allows them to train inquisitioners (a healer outlaw/merc thing), and they are made cheaper by Russia’s “Team Patriarchy” card. That card is like a 50% discount and training speed boost. Imo the card wasn’t intended to help any military units and at most should be a 10% discount and training speed boost for Inquisitioners.
What Kingfisher said and I’ll add the following:
Inquisitors cost 100 coin and their stats are a cross between pikes and halbs, they also count as healers, thus their cost gets halved by a Russian team card, so you will have a 50 coin heavy infantry, with a decent attack and siege, that can be instantly trained thanks to the aforementioned team card, the healer upgrade from the church and dueling school card they deal siege damage.
As a comparison:
Pikeman 40f 40w, or 127 villager seconds
120hp, 8 melee, 32 siege
Halberdier 50f 70c, or 167 villager seconds
200hp, 28 melee, 36 siege
Inquisitor with patriarchy 50c, or 83 villager seconds
150 hp, 15 melee(deals siege damage), 30 siege
The majority of units don’t resist siege, inquisitors can he insta-trained in age 2 and can be trained from unexpected places, as mentioned, such as outposts.
Yes, they take advantage of the German boom plus the Russian mass and with that they destroy you…
They are very easily countered by cavalry because they do really bad damage and have no multipliers vs cav, and cav hp is relatively high.
which is not the case if you look at stats, Inquisitors have a bit less than half the HP of a Hussar and exactly half the damage while you can train 4 of them for one Hussar if not more since you can get train them faster and have your res constantly invested on the battlefield.
This has been around for months if not years now btw - earliest I’ve heard of it was in the german league last year. The fix would be incredibly easy tho. Remember that British team card buffing Grens and Musks that has -15% for all units with both tags? Just do it like that so Team Patriarchy gives +50% cost/train time to Inquisitors. It’s that easy
they are equivalents to at least 375hp 37.5atk w/ 20% armor vs 320hp 30atk w/o armor (at about 2.6to1) in villagersec.
they may not do as well as pike do to hussar, but they can still beat them easily.
beside they have mission fever for 35% more hp(last year patch said 35 but my memory said they still got 50) in age2 with training speed half of a hussar (6s if with fever)
i would said lets put a train limit to it.
if they at getting benefits from being a healing units, they should be train limit just like 30 for priest 5 for griot.
i think 15 is reasonable
It clearly can be fixed easily, but the devs are not looking at aoe3 at all. They don’t care. Maybe at the end of year when they release new DLC hopefully they can fix this. But the lame thing will still exist for a few months
