Late game, they are pitiful. They may have the upper hand to include mercs into your army first hand, but they can't be upgraded, and will fall easily to an Imperial-era army.
@AaronMichaelLong4 жыл бұрын
Unfortunately, the end of this game does show the ultimate weakness of Mercenaries. Yes, they're tough and cost-effective, but late-game, their inability to receive upgrades and high population make them compare unfavorably to regular troops. This makes this strat a great choice for supremacy, but not necessarily so great in FFA or bigger team games.

Try out the Ottoman strat available when you have Apache Natives-the idea is to get Apache Cavalry with their settler killing upgrade + the Ottoman card “Irregulars” which doubles damage of ranged cav against settlers. It’s basically an Otto FF with extra raiding cheese

@peterkershaw114 жыл бұрын
@@SamuraiRevolution That is true, but sending it early means you'll only need 7 houses to have 200 pop space, allowing you to continue villie production to help with say coin income, not worry about being pop capped so you can't send shipments, *and* make up for having extremely pop dense mercs. And given Germans get pop efficient settler wagons as well, it's pretty easy to get a pretty rockin' eco while having an OP merc army on the field. No, Palatine Housing isn't essential, and it makes Germans especially vulnerable to getting housed if just one of those houses is destroyed, but it makes the transition into mercs so much more smooth.

Also, you can train Tashunke Prowlers in the Corrals. c) Aztec: Warrior priests can provides a greater bonus when dancing on Fire pit and not surprisingly, All big tech buttons can summons many warriors without worrying about reached pop limit. d) Indians: every their shipments comes more amount vils while starting age 2.
