2:48 At first I thought that emergency declaration meant "oh man he's dead" but then realized that the Japan bonus in coastal tiles plus your very experienced units due to the first war means you have a fighting chance.

[@courtneythomas3297]

I usually don’t catch the streams so I love when you break them into episodes. Only you could have pulled this game back from the brink. I would have just restarted the second I saw Elenor that close hahaha

[@AliRadicali]

To me the most obvious way to extend the relevance of the ranged unit tree into post-modernity is to merge it with the anti-air support unit. You could have the machine gun upgrade into something like an 88 FLAK cannon which has a ranged attack and an air-defense value and have that unit upgrade into some sort of mobile rocket unit. It'd be hitting two birds with one stone as the current anti-air support unit is severely underpowered if you're actually facing air threats, whereas even machine guns feel pretty pointless by the time you get them compared to the other modern units, and those other units can typically be upgraded two more times.

[@jyutzler]

Big-brain there. I don't think I've ever played a game where the AI effectively used air units. If they come at me late, it is always with GDRs.

I'd say you'd be surprised, but you probably know the effectiveness of compounding Crossbowmen in cities and encampments along a coast backed by a strong privateer force. Upgrade a few to field cannons, and it's enough to repel early tanks and even a Giant Death Robot, mainly because the CPU is stupid and doesn't think to use the siege cannon against my city walls. Managed to survive long enough to get a 30 point Diplomatic Victory (20's too easy) as Mansa Musa and Amanitore's Exoplanet expeditions were over halfway complete.
