With the War Chief civs, it just feels like turtling 🐢 with Outposts is the best option. To wait until their early game power-spike is over (from unit shipments, Big Buttons, Lakota not needing houses 🚫🏠, etc.).
Especially due to their lack of artillery until the Industrial Age.
Most of their main units are also very specialist, so don't do well when under enemy building fire and having surprise batches of their counters spawning before they can run away.

Not really. Haud has an insane age 4 with field cannons and forest prowlers. Lakotas age 4 is also insane with being able to send infinite hunts for the food while euro civs have to go to mills. Also rifle riders and bow riders are both insane units. Can be beat late game for sure but not super easy. Aztec are a bit different as they struggle with good skirm units late game. but they all have massive overpop potential. I think what killed soldier was him thinking Lucas was going to rush which is a fair assumption. And on this map not being able to so a Greenwich time ff or FI really hurt him

​@@DakkaDakkaDakkaWaagh Their Age 4s are only good if they manage to deal enough damage early (or have fishing boats 🎣⛵).
Otherwise, they will have severe weaknesses from not having as strong of a boom (especially lacking a major late game civ bonus) and lacking buildings like Churches, Arsenals and Artillery Foundries.

hunt sneaked away in top corner 😢

The best buff Jaguar prowlers got was the speed buff in stealth. Made them so much more viable. Before they would always get kited to death by skirms

[@wingardium999]

Seems like brits have no effective counter vs mass jaguars

[@gabrielgray7296]

just make walls, tons of them, and hope to out boom aztec.

[@SoldieRaoe]

Scouting better is the first step hah

[@UniDocs_Mahapushpa_Cyavana]

Longbowmen kinda do it (though they don't counter heavy infantry very strongly). Rangers do a much better job, though are limited before the Industrial Age.
Dragoons can micro versus them. Falconets can do well if there is a meat shield in front of them. Outposts can counter them with the help of Longbowmen to punish them for sieging.
More important is to just turtle 🐢 until the powerspike of Big Buttons and unit shipments wears off.
Cards like Town Militia and infinite ♾ 2 Outpost Wagons would help in this.
Longbowmen Outpost is probably the best composition as they cover each other's weaknesses. With the occasional Pikemen for Coyote Runners.
Longbowmen are also really good defensively 🛡, as they can be annoying with their high range.

[@Vincer1998]

Musk Gren is a really good comp for brits in this matchup

[@SoldieRaoe]

@@Vincer1998 haha that does sound interesting
