there are some mistakes and things missing in that video. Carolean base melee resistance is now .20, not just when the its switched with Svea. also doesn’t include the missing 3 militia from colonial militia spawn. +100 ottoman wood crate and Yabusame/Musket Rider resistance nerfs also aren’t there.
the Russian change is like 300 food saved max over an entire game if you max villager pop. in an average 10-15 minute game it doesn’t even reach 100 food.

So,Why the Chinese is weakly for the New Army and Flamethrower.
Yeah some changes are missing, like Torps and Shrines HP nerf and the mosque XP trickle buff.
Already fixed my original comment to say it’s only SOME of the changes, not ALL.
I really dislike the Ottos change tho, what will they do on non-TP maps, with no mosque on Age1???

Yeah, maybe it’s true for the water play, since you can have a town center and a 3 caravels before other civilizations have the opportunity to touch the water.
But I guess this can be circumvented by increasing the time that it take to the TC to be build or by replacing the quartermaster with another age up politician so it’s not as easy to train the caravel.
I am thinking specifically about Portugal land play (As I don’t really play on the water). Without the 10/10 Portugal basically has no more age 2 play, and we will see a lot of FFs with Colownial militia play. Which I don’t think it’s a good direction to go in.

no idea. they need more work. rather than move away from age 1 mosques and +100 wood, it would have been better to just spawn them with a mosque wagon.

That’s sad to hear. I also expected them to buff Sumptuary Laws trickle since it could have a lot of potential and add variability to builds if buffed. Right now it’s just and unused bad card.

Land proxy TC ports with CM was outright cancer, I’d rather 1v2 sweden than play against that shit. I’m soooo glad it will be gone.
I am sure people will figure out some new age 2 starts. The hunting bonus is still there, so you still have an advantage against other civs in age 2.

I think Chinese New army card need become free
Flamethrower Range become 12.Speed become 4.5
German consulate Gold speed become 1.65
WTH? Why nerf Spanish Gold? It’s the only thing that thing helps redeem their poop eco (excluding Logistician lame)…nn Spain is a tempo based civ that loses a lot of tempo by sending SG. Besides, the value of SG goes down significantly as the game goes on. That is some serious BS unless they do a buff elsewhere.

USA is OP, you have dragoons and Apache riders.
Who can solve the Chinese question.
Wow it has to be one of the best balance patch since the beginning.
Most of the recent balances issues players were complaining like in the last tournament has been adressed.
Good to see.
Might give this game a new try after all.

Video sums this up very well Imo
Thank god logi Spain got nerfed, but kinda weird Spanish gold got nerfed since I wouldn’t consider ff Spain OP and more so average
Japan got slight nerf, it looks promising but will take time to tell
Russia buff, finally, it’s small but I imagine it will let age up times be much better with 10 less food per villager
Otto nerf? Odd but I think it might have something to do with the guy that made a nizam rush, I haven’t played against nizam rush yet but on paper it did seem a little too good, the buff counteracts it well enough though by the abus shipment so overall I agree
Port supposedly got Peru nerfed aswell as less starting food, Peru nerf was definitely needed, less starting food will need testing to see if Port are still viable
Sweden got massacred but yeah I mean even callen and Kevin think they needed a nerf so it was only a matter of time I guess.
Usa slight nerf, good change definitely needed and definitely not too big or too small.
Overall this has got to be the best patch aoe3 has ever gotten, it seems we have almost no OP civs anymore, ( well we will just have to see how the two new ones play out) but yeah, definitely happy with what I’ve seen today.

Oh, yeah true. This is a thing. 
I must have forgot because since I didn’t played colonial militia since I decided to get rid of my pussi and get a dikk…
But that just a by-product of the Colownial Militia in general. Portugal should not have that card. And this problem would not exist.
I have played mainly Portugal on this year, and I guess I can say that without the 10/10 there is absolute nothing of interest for Portugal on age 2. Everyone will just click Exiled Prince as fast as they can to get the 3° TC and Cassadors if the 10/10 get nerfed.

the LC shipment food price was a looooong time coming. That card was way too good in age 2.

The ottoman nerf came out of nowhere lol. I hope it gets reverted, my favorite ottoman build is now completely trashed.

The ottoman nerf is kinda too much, but I feel like it would be reverted soon, I also like that 5 abus got buffed to 6, ottoman definitely needed a small buff, and this is a good small buff.

I could see it as a nerf to the special fusilier guys, but that can be fixed by just moving the shipment to age 3.
