i already use game ranger (name is mrempirehimself)
not a lot of people play the mod online though
i only play with 2 friends now ( nevyn and widowmaker)
we usually play free for all, or 2v1
so i really cant tell how good i am also because i met these guys a week ago and i used to played against noobish or average players before they all left (or they must live where its morning and my time its night.) there were only 1-3 of them online

btw if 20,000+ people download this mod online then why only 3-10 people are playing online…..its kinda annoying.

Hey, Kor

Excuse my double-post (the first one i posted at school),
but i just realized in my last game:
Researching “Taborite Sect” (Bohemia) gives pikemen +15HP.
Could you add this info to the policy-description…

I must say, your mod is still full of surprises. :-)

maybe you could also explain to me the +40HP for scottish Light Cavalry:
I still don’t understand how this comes about…
(especially now that Light Cav and Hobigiuir seem to get different amount of HP – without Gaelicisation or Bloodlines being researched)

Well, if you already researched “Teutonic Order” in 14th century before/research it while scouting, your tactic may take quite a while – Teutonic Unique Units take a long time to be trained.
Against the AI it definately works – i don’t need much effort to defeat it with the Order,
but
did you already play the Order against a HUMAN PLAYER (in multiplayer) ?

i play it defensively until 14 cent…
then i do a scout on my opponent(s) army and send in the army i need to kill them without wasting too much food and gold so i can hold off until i go into 15th century.
then i upgraded my units that are only need for fights and finish them off after i find their weakness or if there is a weak spot

because you said:
“most civs can kill Saxony yes but, only if the player is a TO player who is trying to advance and is not focusing on defense and trying to boom then its easy to destroy.”
I wonder, in what way you play the order – and did you already play it against a human player?

England maybe because of being an allrounder.
Better than France may be Burgundy – their knights can resist longer because of high armour and their unique unit has high melee-armour against Order-attack.
- Ok, France has cheaper cavalry(therefore can send them more often) with more HP aswell.

DO NOT underestimate archery- and infantry-civs (like Denmark), if they are handled by someone who knows about their strengths and how to use them. ;-)
______________

Archer civs:

Crossbows and siege:
GENOA: gunpowder-units(“mercenaries”) with more range(Unique Tech) and HP, get all crossbow-techs, crossbows have more HP, unique crossbow.
(in my opinion “THE crossbow-civ indeed”)

Crossbow, Siege, Cavalry
BOHEMIA: cheap crossbows, can greatly rely on crossbows and get the best “scorpion-type” unit with Policy Decision. Could also rely more on Cavalry with Policy Decision or on both, cavalry and archers.

Crossbows, Militia:
BAVARIA: cheap Militia(with Unique Tech), strongest Crossbow – but slow reload

Archers and medium cavalry:
WALES: best long-ranged civ, good Trooper

Archers, Cavalry, Infantry, Mercenaries:
ENGLAND: -see above-

i dont know what you mean by how do you play the order?

Good arguments – and i agree on pikes: the Ritterbruder is comparable to the Ridder when fighting pikes – it does high damage and takes few damage from the pikes ;-)
Surely, it is worth its price.

Hmm…did you ever fight against a human player playing Poland?
Afaik, Poland gets the Bajoras directly after having researched “Union of Krewo” in 14th century. This ranged Lancer is one of the grimmest enemies of Ritterbrüder. If not attacking by “hit’n'run”, this unit can simply be lined in multiple ranks, killing any “Ordensbruder” before he can aim for the blow.
Also, what i never expected, i once played against Austria and their Imperial Lancers(of course being trained faster and cheaper) killed an army of Ritterbrüder of the same strength/number

I will write my comment on other civs vs order and the archer-civs later… ;)

Hmm…how do you play the order?
I mostly mix advance AND defense (order is best in castle-defense, along with Burgundy)
