In another reply one of the people who played said that north america alone had 1 million.

It was a fun video idea, but there probably should have been some incentive for the natives to stay in (in terms of buffs or something some you realized they'd lost hope). I do think when they did ask if it was fair, you probably should have admitted the rationale that they create a mega death-stack, mostly because I would have loved to see if they attempt to make it in one last hurrah. Because I do actually agree that the native numbers (assuming they united) would have absolutely beaten the Europeans in the base techs. That being said, I can't say for sure how strong the native federation was, as I wasn't there. That being said, I think the making them sit in the new world while you don't actually play is a hilarious idea.

If you don't change anything at all the natives are completely crushing due to weight of numbers, we just put in a hot fix for our mil tech and over adjusted because we had to do it in two seconds. Realistically the mp videos are much more geared towards player interaction with eachother and the game rather than having the game itself be interesting.

[@thereita1052]

@@thespanishinfluenza6047 that would be true if natives had numbers. The biggest native stack than was in the video was a 22k Aztec vs a 50k from Laith.

@@thereita1052 Were you there? There were bigger stacks in this scuffed game alone that just weren't on camera, besides the analysis is on what theoretically could have been fielded, and 43 native players each fielding 10k is 430k troops.
