AGE OF EMPIRES 3 BEST UNITS UPGRADE

The last gatling upgrade is literaly the gatling gun decorated in gold like almost entirely and the wheels looking like its a ■■■■■■■■ monster truck. Or in general the cav box units like opprich and dog soldier.Īnother unit I despised in vanilla is Gendarme, as it was spamable and almost impossible to beat with most nations.Īnd I think just in general a unit I hate is the mortar as I like to play defensive and seeing a bunch of them rolling up together with massed other units of which I know I dont have a real counter possibility at the time just makes me slowly die towards my buildings collapsing.Ī unit I hate purely esthaticly speaking is the gatling gun and American General. In treaty in vanilla, you knew what time it was when you saw a cav box of opprichs enjoying their stay in your base. What do you hate and why? Did one unit traumatize you back in the day? Is it just a lame unit? Or is it something else?įor me it mostly depends which gamemode Im playing. Ok, so like, super curious to see what you guys say lol.

Instead of using iron flails for anti-light infantry, I use Steppe Riders, who do about 30 damage, times 2 against skirmishers, they use up only 1 population spot and they are fast enough to run away or kill skirmishers and then move on and attack buildings or villagers. On top of that, they receive no bonus against heavy infantry, so they just die against musketeers, pikemen, halberdiers, etc, etc, while the Spanish Lancer gets its damage as a blanket times 3 (or 4 with that one card that’s name escapes me right now…) against ALL infantry. In 2007, Age of Empires III was the seventh best-selling computer game. I find myself using the iron flails only against Russia, to solely eliminate Strelets (duh) and against the Inca, to counter their Jungle Bowman. Age of Empires III is a real-time strategy video game developed by Microsoft Corporations. The Spanish Lancer is more effective, at Imperial level, like 750HP and 40 attack, slightly higher than the Iron Flail but like 100 more HP. I think an Exalted Iron Flail has 39 attack, while an Imperial Hussar has 60. Some claim they are good against artillery, which is utter nonsense. They serve an exceptionally niche role, killing skirmishers and archers. Second, I despise the Chinese iron flail more than any unit. The Ruyter is just a good unit, best ranged cavalry, in my opinion. When I finally realized the skirmisher beat them, I was pretty much like “this unit disgusts me!” When the Asian Dynasties came out and I got China as my main, and then saw Repelling Volley, the Ruyter and all its relatives ceased to be a problem but that disgust stuck with me over the years lol.

When I first got AOE3 back in like 2005…I think, I didn’t realize initially that skirmishers beat ranged cavalry, so I would always use cavalry archers or dragoons and they’d get shredded by the mass of like 50 Ruyters. What unit in all of AOE3 do you hate the most and why? I am curious with this, and I will state my two most hated units and why.įirst, the Dutch Ruyter.
