One important thing about the Supply Convoy is that it allows artillery to fire after moving. By combining artillery and the Supply Convoy, you can move forward and fire in the same turn.
I love Military Engineers. Hands down the best support unit. Two Engineers working in tandem to lay down railroads can super power a domination game by speeding units from your established cities in the rear to the front rapidly. And rushing infrastructure in rapidly expanding new cities is so helpful in avoiding slowdowns from housing shortage. Love that they can repair pillaged improvements at no cost to their charges. One of my favorite units.
Even regular builders can repair pillages without using their charges. In fact, even great merchants have the build function after monopolies and corps and can repair tiles for free!
@@MohProbs wait what? they already do use air units. Just recently had a game where they kept attacking my units with jet fighters so I had to build some AA support units to protect them.
@@MohProbsyeah they do a little I did run into an ai with the base planes in a city center so they can use them logically. Well to be fair they were far behind as I was already using bombers

Great video! I want more info on what determines a nuke being blocked or not. I think it it’s always possible, but more or less likely depending on defending air-defense strength.
if it's through a bomber, the bomber needs to be brought under 50HP - which should always happen unless you only have 1 AA gun vs bomber or 2AA guns vs jet bomber. SAMs should cancel it no matter what. if it's through other means, such as a nuke silo or nuclear sub, based on my testing, I believe it should happen as long as the tile targeted is within 1 tile of the AA, but I didn't do extensive testing on this
I think it's based on the power of the unit that lunches them too... I remember reeding discussion on the reddit one day, and somone mentioning that using nuke sub Armada is the safest option and makes it basically unblockable or something like that... They were calculating anti air capebelities of GDR too. Now that I think of it, maby there is more to that and combining Aircraft carriers to armadas isn't totally pointless
11:32 ok that logically should have caused nuclear fallout over the anti air. Also very informative mainly for the military engineer as I know will use them more and also I wish there was an option to turn off co2 as I want the gathering storm stuff but don’t like water rising making turns longer due to the ai and all.
@@MohProbsok well as a console player I have no access but maybe disaster intensity actually does since if I remember correctly apocalypse mode make every time floodable so maybe setting it to 0 would disable it
@@JPONDETRACKonly late game in one game where it reached stage 7 and the ai took forever that’s the reason why I want an option as I find the ai taking forever to be annoying
I always thought that only the unit that it on the same tile with the ram gets the walls damage bonus, not every unit that attacks the city! Military engineers can also contribute to city projects production once you have Royal Society government building. Because their cost does not rise like builders', it sometimes makes them a better option.
no - unless i misspoke in the video - the ram or tower needs to be adjacent to the city center. then ANY melee / anti-cav unit will be able to use its effects

i'm not a huge war guy, but i feel like i should use them a lot more

Perfect guide, and the meme clips are incredibly entertaining!
appreciate the love :D
That was great! Thank you! Subscribed, and commenting for the almighty algorithm.
Thanks! And praise be to the mighty algorithm
If only AI used Air units
they might actually be strong late game if they did lol

Very useful Tips.

The nuke just went missing!
I think there's a mod that disables disasters but im not as clear whether it disabled co2

i could be wrong but i think they changed it so that disaster intensity doesn't affect rising sea levels
@RipplyAnemone67 have you had much impact from climate change? I've been playing GS for a while and very rarely had it mattered much

Its amazing how even we who try to teach the game are always learning new things from each other and commenters. Such a deep game!
So a ram or siege tower can work against walls even if its one hex away?
I thought they had to be right against the wall.
no - unless i misspoke in the video - the ram or tower needs to be adjacent to the city center. then ANY melee / anti-cav unit will be able to use its effects
What type of support unit do I need to get around renaissance level walls?
there technically isn't a support unit for renaissance walls. best bet would be maybe getting some siege units in the mix (bombards)
@@MohProbs This is true, bombards are very effective. Thank you
Very good video and i cant tolerate potato or lifer. Sims 1 really was best OST.
sims 1 the goat!
My only complaints with this video is the very uneven volume. Very difficult to hear you sometimes. Great video otherwise.
appreciate the feedback! audio is definitely something i'm still trying to figure out
This is why I'm glad I never got gathering storm
Don't nerf my battering ram!
Yeah i feel like i wouldve liked the medic being a separate line from the ram
The meme clips are incredibly annoying
Edit: apart from the one at 4:59. That's funny
at least u liked one of them! lol
