    A card that would be completely broken if its team version was colonial or even fortress would be recruit 2 privateers. Privateers are beast in colonial and two of them even beat frigates and distracted fuchuans in fortress. Many civs can send 3 in colonial, and boost them with water dance. The Aztec can send 3 for 500 gold, boost them with water dance, and give them offshore support in colonial.

    Really surprised by the forts and the 40% train times. You almost never see them in high-level supremacy. I know you touched on the forts, but I feel like if you send a fort and the other guy sends a military shipment, then the other guy can probably just deny the fort. If the other guy sends an eco shipment/unit upgrade, his eco can eventually just overtake yours. Kind of a similar deal with the train time shipments. Most people just build another rax/stable and send a different card.
    Also surprised by the lack of 700w, 700g, 4 Kanyas, 5 Cossacks, heavy cannons, schooners, ATP, and 3 CDB.
    I'm glad Boyars and 2 falcs got honorable mentions, at least.

    How's economic theory a good card? Basically it goes like this: for every 10 villagers you have, you basically have the value of 11 villagers. So let's say you're at 10 villies and send Eco theory you get the equivalent of 1 villagers. this means you need at least 30 villagers to get the equivalent of 3 villies shipment Way better to send 3 villies since it start to pay off as soon as they get on th field. On top of that, Eco theory as no value at all when your villagers are idle. Eco theory only pays off late game and that's IF you get there.

    • @Vincrand
      @Vincrand 4 роки тому +2

      There should be different lists for nr40 and rush. In nr40 the eco boosting cards are very important and economic theory is a very good one to start of since you'll swap your eco focus a couple of times. Something you didn't mention is that the boost of economic theory doesn't cost pop, which isn't a major issue. So I agree that 3 villagers is better for rush decks/ games.

    I always thought that resource shipments are too useful, considering how you generally want to win as soon as possible. Why take the advanced building cards or even gathering rate up when you can get the resources here and now? Not only that, the shipments gather much more quickly than natural resources.

    Japan has a card that improve gathering of ressources for the entire team and another one to boost the effect of Shrines, as it allow em to gather XP and boost income from building Shrines as well. Age 2 Japan can also send 3 fishing boats for the Team and they have good troop cards for the Team as well.
    If You play say the Chinese and partner with Suleiman and he sends 2 outpost wagons and Aztecs send 3 settlers, those settlers can build more Outposts, up to 13, with Heavy Fortification Card. It is a shame to see that AI often fail to use those Outpost Wagons. A Card that provide a Covered Wagon for the Team is often not used either.
    Regarding troop training Cards, I'll say Russia wins as they can train infantry as fast as You can click your mouse. If Japan side with Dutch in consulate, they can build a Church and gain acces to boost training time of infantry and cavalry, like european civilizations. Taking into consideration they have 2 buildings, that train banner armies, it is pretty hard to run out of troops.
    Japan has a fun Card, that turn all gold into Export. Getting 50K of Export allow to spam extremely powerful troops from consulate, just avoid enemy artillery, when they are deployed, hehehe.

    3 cdb is great age 1 card. 2 falconets is far better than fort card age 3. 2 heavy cannons is insanely strong industrial card follow by factory and 10 winged hussar german industrial card is also insanely good. in 1 v 1 , worth of card is if it provides instant boost to your army or economy and most important a tech advantage.
    Always calculate how much resource a card is worth. like gae 2 standard card is 700 resource so if a card ships more than 700 worth resource, its op like 4 axe riders (800 resource worth) while 5 uhlans is a bad card coz u already get 2 free uhlan for any age 3 shipment so it gives u 3 extra uhlans which are worth 450 resource (for 3) only which is so underwhelming compared to a 700 resource card. same goes for 5 abus age 3 card. winged hussars are op for germany because they get auto upgraded.

They are worth about 1.5k gold and you pay 1k so your profit is 500 gold and a one time minor boost on the battlefield.
