[@MrTonybonez]

I usually played online treaty matches as Russia in team games, and tried to play more as the support and situational use player for the team. Team would break open a section of wall and flood in the cheap cav and oprichniks, enemy would spam muskets and I'd counter with cheap, instant strelets. Was always a use there, and giving my whole team instant infantry was awesome too! One game, however, there was a player that was talking a whole lot of smack, for no reason. Maybe he thought I was someone else, or maybe he was just a jerk. Anyway, I decided that I was going to be cheap, and end his fun for the day. That day, the oprichnik box secured a victory in 5 minutes after the end of the treaty. Was this fair? Probably not, but that day it made that player leave very upset. And that was enough for me :)

[@nooneinparticular5256]

Ideas to nerf cav box: 1: tech that reduces enemy unit speed, when in radius of non-wall buildings 2: damage overlap--when a unit takes a ranged hit, and their model is touching that of another unit, the adjacent unit will take some damage, too. 3: tech that works as sort of anti-pillage, wheir your buildings take less damage from cavalry. 4: anti-cav bonus for outposts, forts, and TCs.

[@chatsash36]

It's alright to present an opinion, but maybe these shouldn't be considered bad sportmanship necessarily. Dragoons can intercept cav boxes, Daimyos aren't going to be producing too many units if you're harassing their eco, etc. I don't think we want to give players even more reasons for calling each other toxic. Haven't faced a lot of these personally but I'd like to think every tactic has its place, or it'd be removed in a patch.

[@spartanseventyeight8673]

It's salty behavior, to call a mechanic or a strategy 'bm' instead of working to find a viable counter, and it saddens me to see aoe3 players use these excuses. Haven't seen anyone bitch about specific units or tactics in Age 2, because people put in the work to find counters.

[@kevinho8288]

@@qirin674 agree with everything u said except cav box, that is a mechanic that imo shouldn't exist.

[@pabloduarte1722]

So it's because of that, you haven't face them really. Dragoons can't intercept oprichniks, they can kill a few of them but light cav don't suppose to kill cav quickly, si you pick of like 5 of them, and by the time you shoot again they've already destroy your factories, and 5s later they're killing all your vills for the oprichnik hace multiplier against them, and that's even if you now it's coming, often by the time you realize they make them they're already at the door of your city and you dont have enough time to make the goons

[@pabloduarte1722]

What i love of treaty for example is the Big battles, and Big confrontations, i mean, being in a war where you are in constant battle, and the flanks, and the strategy, and the positioning... But to ignore completely the enemy's army and go only for the eco with a fast unit, it just seems like no fun at all, where is the fun there? That's not a challange, that's for cowards that can't win in strategy and can't beat your army

[@davidtogi5878]

@@pabloduarte1722 well strats are that, doing what your opponent never expect or better what they hate. Though i must admit that cav box is a bit OP. Maybe if they got speed penalty or impaired movement on narrow passes like forest or buildings then its not gonna be that bad.

I had this one game where one of our guys dropped, and one of the guys on the other team said would just go afk and not play so it's fair. We played on, and he never directly attacked us.

I've always been a no holds barred player. That said, vindicive actions such as hiding your last settler, and non-designed exploits like keystroke activated bugs should definitely be despised. Still, I love using the advantages built into each civ, and expect to be on the recieving end of them as well.

By all means use the civ bonuses and their strengths! It's just that some mentioned have no counter play at all, and make you feel hopeless. Which then again isn't really the player's fault.

Once I played as Russia on a 3v3. In age 2, I sent 5 muskets randomly to the enemies' side of the map. In age 4/5 (I don't remember which), they had walled everything off and I only had 2 muskets left. I used them to build a fort, and instantly spammed 100 muskets out and drove one of the opponent's villagers off his base. They kept fighting after that, but it was pretty much the end of the game. It has been a close fight up to that point. Oh, and I was also the guy who hid his villie that you had to kill on almost every game I used to play.

[@Tegawe]

I admit... when I first learned France can instaspawn the heavy cav, I used it to beat some insane bots. I seen its destruction..... the chaos.... I refrain from using that power now and I only train 25 or so and have a unit of skirmishers, musketeers, and 5 falconer. There's always that Palpatine voice in my head saying "Do it...." when I think of spawning cavalry Edit: if you do the cav spam, at least shout "Viva La France!"

[@zacharyshoemaker835]

I feel like some of these things are features designed to end games. You dont really see alot of opri boxes early because they cost a lot of resources for units that will be practically stomped on by most others. At the same time if your commiting to an opri box then your military suffers allowing your opponent to push you back. Anyway some of this cheese are features designed to end games because the game has to end eventually. Hell i played you in a 3v3 once and you had over 12 Great Bombards behind a wall in the center of deccan. It sucks being on the recieving end but at the same time i understood because i gave you enough time to allow you to cheese. Its just part of the game.

I used to cav box Japan's wonders and french eco in treaty games. After the wonders were done there was no more cav boxes. Used to hate the diamyo campers in treaty with their mortars within the base. I liked to think of it as balancing the game. That said there were a number of treaty games that I played where the box was broken apart very quickly by goons. If you know what youre doing and you've walled properly you can counter it well.

[@illdeletethismusic]

3 is a much more restrictive game by design, limiting the ratio of units, building distance from enemy tc and a bunch of other things that were thought of as exploits by parts of the playerbase and developers of the series, as a result it is more geared towards a few standard strategies following deliberately planned mechanics, making unusual tactics stand out more as "exploits". along with the fictional campaign that explains why it has less dedicated fanbase than 1 and especially 2.

[@naveenkarthik7242]

I think u missed Arrow Knights. Yeah players will use them from long and siege our base using scorched earth card And will run away after shooting one or 2 volley to their op aztec army. It's so annoying especially when they kill our seige. Same for Indian seige elephant.

[@groinBlaster31]

Interesting how a few of these no-nos are actual accepted strategies in aoe2 (scout raiding enemy villagers, one player feeding others their resources, known as slinging, for example). I’m wondering what’s different. Maybe it’s just a balance issue.

[@Tergaim]

The problem with slinging in aoe 3 is that the Home City system allows huge power spikes. If you sling an ally in aoe 2, he still has to take the time to produce soldiers, research upgrades, etc. With aoe 3, one team can have the equivalent of 16 paladins instantly while the opponents still collect berries

I didn't know cav box existed. Lol have to try once XD guess i am a noob Edit: 30m NR And wall up as much as you can best strategy.

[@andreasjonsson3419]

xxx holic: kinda easy to counter, just shoot the guy in mid and the cav spreads out

[@blaskovitch191]

how did you instant spawn french cav ?

[@p1a2u3l4ify]

the only thing i can agree with is the villager thingy ( hide last unit) and the gg when the game obviously was NOT a good game. but other than that those were legit strategies: what makes this game so great is the fact that it was pretty balanced. every civ has weaknesses and strength. so i really dont understand how complaining about unique strategies is necessary. i know its not meant seriously but still :) and back when i played it i barely met toxic players. and one hint regarding the Dekkan Ottoman Age4 feed strategy: scouting helps. if one learns how to scout properly and what to scout for and read signals it can single-handedly win a game. this strategy is pretty cool but easily counterable with a fast rush. well anyways: was cool to watch an age3 video again after so many year: i am sooo hyped for the remake and for the new online servers :) excited to see if i can reach my old elo again. probably not :P

[@visciousitachi1681]

That Russian box is soo annoying and frustrating, I lost many times to player like those kinds. BTW Great content like always Sam 💯🔥

[@arkorbravos7686]

ye, i don't regret only playing against the A.I. when i was into AoE3.

[@somerandomyoutubeuser271]

I really like aoe3 but it has some serious flaws, particularly in online games. Maybe this was the reason why it couldn't compete with aoe2 in the first place.

[@SamuraiRevolution]

I still prefer it with its flaws :)

Why u think ar diymao lamers?Frst thing japan as late game is wrost posbtly ciw,i mean at age 5 they have wrost ecnemy,and it is so easy to kill diymao,once when u kill him he need to respwn like 1 min and if u just got diymao wonders japan cant make them any more,japan dont have card for faster making units so from barack he need a lot more time to respan units.Late game port with all ranged units,japan cant won port,japan cant do anything aganst french caw(late game),french caw at mass is ez killing all full uprged samurais,only thing wich japan can make agsnt french caw is hamato wich cost too much exsport ,and for making hamto u need to wait 1 min also there dont have card for fster making units from consulate.Japan is only op eraly game(Fater early econmy,good units) if u play good with him and japan dont have good altery any Europe ciw late game can won japan with good mix of units and altery.What japn shoold to late game when lost diymao wonder agsnt rusains wich have insta spam of all units

My team and me just defeated enemy team with several explosive charges waves yesterday

[@SamuraiRevolution]

Hahaha!

[@cracknotgood]

I agree with most, especially the "im hiding one settler somewhere in nowhere even though ive completely lost the game already" type. the laming thing is kinda okay if it actually has an effect and is not just annoying. Cause its basically the same thing as rushing is, just earlier. Cav boxes are insanely toxic indeed, but i gotta say for russia its kind of the only op thing they have. if the game goes into late game and everyone is massing armies, what else could russia do than opris ^^

[@roballister5269]

Have you heard about this guy RodLimitless on twitch? He walls like 50 layers in 30 seconds he's nuts with the fast wall, covers up everything. And also he does 3 min Iroquois rush, like 10 tomahawks out before everyone hits age 2. Cool dude though he does a lot of these non-"GG" strategies lol

[@SamuraiRevolution]

No hahaha sounds crazy!

[@Chronosmaster002]

My friends used to hate me for doing a hatamoto rush. I would spam yumis as distraction, and then 10 hatamotos would wreck their town.

[@SamuraiRevolution]

Those are some strong units!

[@forgottenone8277]

How about enemy researchers killing your own in 1-2 attacks and stealing your treasures in your attempt of getting em?

[@Gigas0101]

Aha, now I know everything I need to play AoE3 multiplayer!

[@timbednarchuk8908]

The player that cuts you off from all other resources

[@SamuraiRevolution]

Haha yeah!

[@thesheq5023]

I hate when people go “rank 8 or less” and they have a clan of a rank 10,4,4. When you call them out they say something like “im a noob” then proceed to smurf out the game. Honestly never join where a clan of 3-4 is already teamed. Ever. I also hate when everyone locks in then half the people change from fun civs to competitive civs, team, and try to rush the start. Like all the sargents suddenly go team2 and pick france or something. Then you’re left with 3 noobs just looking for a good game

[@kyletaylor6665]

You missed the hatamatoro samurai box, that's even lamer than dog soldiers and oprichnik.
