@@matthewpatrick4744 size is ironically its enemy. How would you leave your base to cross the entire map with 100 elephants and not just get king sniped by a cav zerg
I think the new patch is a disaster, some things are way over buffed, whils their counters are nerfed. Examples: Dehli elephants can enjoy biology plus new range upgrades, or the new gunpowder upgrade. However, spears get nothing new, so they loose badly againts elephants. Another example - Desert raiders enjoy all blacksmith techs, practically, plus biology (buffed), incendiary arrow (buffed), and silk bows (bows). Their rpimary counter, spears, gets nothing, so it becomes very very hard to counter them Another example: Great Bombards (obviously). They have no natural counter anymore, and being that the ottomas counter cavalry so easily, the units that could beat them down can't be used.
thank god china doesnt have elephants or they would have invaded taiwan by now
mouse unit xD good one!
I'm surprised no one in Outback Octogon has done the elephant Delhi strat.

@KillerPigeon I guess you meant speed because of their size. Great point KP. Thanks my man. Keep up the great work!

Also removed hp buff from military tactics. No more gives hp to infis.
Spears actually got 20% on top of their bonus damage as well but I agree - mounted archer units need to be nerfed generally
@@deinmul192 yeah, so infantry civs get 170 hp - 200 hp units fighting against 360 units, it's crazy and its guiding everything down to using cavalry
