Even against the AI, that sounds like a silly idea.

Good morning, Ellie and all.


Surely, those two both have advantages against heavies and none other? Or do you mean tactical advantage?

In PE units go through some interesting changes, and only fast units stay the way you know them. Ranged units are strong against light and take defensive bonuses from bushes and forests. Artillery are strong against fast and heavy. Light units are strong against heavy and artillery and heavy is strong against ranged and fast.

The AI Champion closes I think because it wants to be attacked and thus pass on the champion bonus

Each era after PE has the troops slightly differently arranged. For example artillery is good in most eras and great in FE but relatively useless in CE

 

[DeletedUser110195]

Missile artillery can't hit flying units?(I'm guessing that's why you'd think them useless to any degree)

 

[vikingraider]

It definitely makes it a challenge. Brings a different way of thinking with the units advantages changing as you age.

 

[Prinza the Hunter]

That sounds fun. What are submarines good at hitting?

Actually reading that comment you just liked, I should clarify how fast units 'stay the same'....in that I mean they're still strong against only ranged, but they gain a lot of movement and get defense bonuses on plains. As for what subs are good at....well the only sub is in oceanic future, the sub cruiser, and it's strong against artillery and light.

 

[vikingraider]

Be a long time before I have to worry about my submarines. Apart from in the bath.

Hard to see into the future.

 

[vikingraider]

Depends which way you look

"Hope looks forward; memory looks backwards."

Heard that recently and it struck me as profound.

 

[DeletedUser110195]

Strikes me as obvious. I mean if memory looked forward then maybe it could do something useful, like look to the lottery numbers for the next drawing.

 

[Prinza the Hunter]

G'night all.

 

[DeletedUser110195]

It must suck always being 5 hours in the future....too bad you can't relay info about the lottery numbers.

 

[- Ellie -]

Night night everyone

 

[DeletedUser108047]

morning all.... we're 10 hours into the future down here...

 

[DeletedUser110195]

Well can YOU tell me what the winning lottery numbers are? I still have time to buy a ticket!

 

[DeletedUser110917]

I hope I win soon

 

[DeletedUser108047]

@Augustavian every time I try to use them they tell me I'm 10 hours to late

I hate queues ...
Apparently, I'm getting the password to "Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves" cave when I get to the front of the queue.
