Why am i forced to get spears every game?

Every team game has French or Jean D’arc. Every team game I get rushed by French Knights at 5min mark. Every game. It’s clockwork. This is not fun. I dont want to build spears. I am pigeonholed. I cannot NOT make spears. It’s impossible. EVERY GAME. Why? Is the lead Dev a French main? This is stupid and NOT fun. Not what AOE is supposed to be. There is ZERO alternative to this.

Just remove the French civ already FFS.

Think the opposite they need to build knigth every game

Exactly, you know, if they gave the spearmen a better looking weapon instead of that ugly billhock, I might felt more comfortable than now.

Yea, isn’t that just ridiculous?

That’s a dumb rebuttal and you know it.

Why? A main draw of playing vanilla French are Knights. This also means that facing them, you have to expect Knights.

It’s like expecting English not to build Farms or something.
