      @@QuintemTA Just means it's a large negative skew - a bulge at the top and a long "negative" tail. In fact, game development is a perfect example of when we would expect skew. Skew is a result of a force acting on the sample. In this case, developer efforts to have all the civs/characters/heroes/classes feel strong.

      I am curious about this, i personally find buegundians in 1vs1 a broken as fuck civ team bonus BECAUSE ea h relic is abiur 1 late gold vil- 1.5 food vil "about 3 vils early castle"
      So it feels like burgundians can rush relics which gives 3 vils lead per relic at early castle, and so the relics give as much of advantage as a tc would in some sense but without pop.
      I also find byzantine the second most op 1vs1 against skirms "matter of fact 1 byz monk can outheam like 5 skirms " so it is such a cool civ bonus.
      Some underreted civ bonuses are persians too, as knights witb persian bonus kill archers same hits as fully upgraded castle knight can COMPLETELY skip forging and iron casting vs crossbows to get same result as any other knight OR you get both to reduce number of hits by 1
      Max tech 14-2 armor = 12 multiplied by 3 = 36 in 3 hits, everyother kngiht needs 4 " 12-2 =2 so 4 hits or no iron casting is 11 -2 =9 also 4 hits"
      Only persians kill xbows in 3 hits at max tech which to me sounds like it can flip a fight.
      3 hits are as good as bulgarians 33% speed 4 hits.

    Nice outro bro
    On Sicilians - if you think about it, if the donjon is not viable (which it isn't), they basically have no civ bonuses until castle age, other than reduced bonus damage, which in Feudal age only marginally helps in the few circumstances where you want to fight a spear with your scouts.

      @ Hera , I am a 1300 elo player and lately have been finding an unusual amount of success with pure mongol elite steppe lancers. Imo halberdier just doesn't counter it. I did some testing and the mongol elite steppe lancer ALWAYS wins the 1 vs 1 fight (against generic halbs) with ~4 Hp remaining. In a group of 30 they seem kill a groups of 30 halbs better than what 30 paladins do... and they are wayyy cheaper than paladin, cheaper to upgrade too and it seems easy/faster to get to 200 pop(~120 vills + 80 steppe lancers) compared to opponents going knights or archer +halbs. What are your thoughts and can u make a video on how to counter ~80 elite steppe lancers.

    Sad to see the Huns so low but hard to argue with you.

I think they need another bonus or maybe just tech tree opened up a little bit.

Yeah might not have that surprise factor that mongols or khmer have (I mean is it really even a surprise everyone expects it) but you can make non stop scouts while having amazing FARM eco. Able to get to blacksmith sooner and commit on longer feudal age (Which you always should since going up to castle so fast for you its worth it). You always get to castle first then and imp too.

Do you think reverting the Cavalry Archers discount to the original AoC one( 10%/20%-> 25%/30%) would make them top tier again or these days cav archers alone are too weak to do it? In latter case what other changes could be done here?

    I've given a lot of thought with Bulgarians. I'd try giving them SL. If they go feudal scouts and don't get damage down, they can easily transition to SL in castle age and try again. It also gives them another strategy beyond a krepost drop. With Stirrups their SL would be pretty good. in imperial age, you could have THS w Bagains, w a backline of Elite SL w Stirrups as a composition option. What other comp would really utilize both UTs? sure, I guess you could use THS, back them with CA, skirm, or scorps, and on the sides you're raiding with Hussar. But in a comp when would you be getting full use out of both UTs? Cavaliers and Konniks take up the space a THS would be fighting, but SL can fight from behind. Giving Bulgarians SL doubles down on their aggressive identity, doubles down on their cav identity and in a way that better compliments their infantry, doubles down on their nomadic roots, and gives them a pretty unique comp.

    So imo Berbers is quite good on nomad maps, obviously vills move faster. ship spd helps in normal nomad. There castle drop UU is okay, camel archers counter many common UU civ strats (ie. mongols, koreans, spanish). knight rush is also pretty strong as well.
    When LN was in teamgame pool, berber was highest wr, ik that is teamgames though, i do want to see some 1v1 for it eventually (but rip nomad style maps in 1v1).
    Also really strong in african clearing(top 5) and normal nomad they are like a top 5-10
    10:00 do bulgarians really lose to halbs? konniks do better than most calvary vs halbs and their calvalier and hussar kill them faster. Their skirms and HCA are FU except last armor which doesnt matter except for archers for the most part, they'll probably have units in front. Skirms with only 2nd armor still do ok vs archers. And finally they have cheaper siege upgrades, so heavy scorps are a great counter. Also they can just go their 2hs which have like 9 melee armor.
    I kinda agree with Huns. Ive always kinda though they were kinda meh. I do mainly teamgames i think they are better there.

    To all those watching, bear in mind that rankings are very elo-dependent, and I am not sure of the target elo for Hera's advice, I assume it's for higher elo players given this is Hera.
    Take the Aztecs and Celts as an example, Celts have a much higher win rate than the Aztecs for 1100+ elo, about a 5% difference in favor of the Celts, which doesn't quite square up with A v. D tier, but then for the

    You mention Bulgarians not having an answer for Halbs, but can’t they go Cav Archer/hussar late? Sure they miss last archer armor but they get everything else. With the hussar bonus it seems strong.

    • @spectre9065
      @spectre9065 Před 9 měsíci +1

      You are investing a lot into non-fully upgraded Cavalry Archers to counter trash. And Bulgarians' eco bonuses are subpar.
      Though I'm inclined to say Bulgarians' weakness is Cavalry Archers more than Halbs.

    Kinda hard to argue about the Huns. The only thing your take was really wrong about was anticipating it would get lots of argument here in the comments lol. On top of the general overall power creep... IMHO, the downside to Huns' no-houses bonus has also gradually grown more significant over the decades. Back when Huns were first added in AoC, the meta was very different, people were just not as good at the game as they are today, and not being able to use houses for stuff like walling your base or quickwalling was just less of a drawback.
    I'm curious: do people think it would be a + change to give Huns the ability to build houses which just don't really do anything but have HP and take up space? Personally, I don't think so, bc (a) not having houses is part of Huns' long-standing unique identity as a civ, like with the Chinese starting w 6 vils, and bc (b) it could be confusing / detrimental for newer players who might end up building them when they don't need to & wasting wood.

    This list looks accurate if you had to pick one civ for 21 maps of say TCI. But from drafting perspective for a TCI bo21, some B tier civs could be higher.

    Having played only the HD version of the game, I never noticed the huns getting power crept. Though as a bit of a casual, the huns are one of my favorites simply because I'm slow and the saved time from not having to build houses lets me actually keep the town center pumping out villagers with reckless abandon. It's nice for snowballing economy early on, at least as long as the enemy isn't rushing.

    For Vietnamese, since shared exploration was made standard for ranked games this translates to even easier 00:00 game-time scouting for everyone. It has translated into them basically having two team bonuses. Additionally, on certain maps like nomad start maps and water maps the 00:00 scouting of the enemy town centers is utterly invaluable. I'm very happy to see you placing them so high.

    I would love to see Huns getting a pillage ability as a civ bonus. Simply you get small % of res for destroying buildings of your enemy. That would fit with the theme of civ as Tarkans are suppose to be strong vs structures.
