Ok just to start discussion in this forum I decided to come up with a question... which of the 8 european civs has the best fortress gameplay? Opinions are welcome. Here's some facts to draw from about each civ: Spain - Increased shipment rate helps to spam the powerful fortress age shipments - 3 autovet units introduced in fortress, all of which are useful - 1 unique unit introduced in fortress (lancer) Ottomans - Usually will age with trading posts up to increase shipment rate - Cheap economy - 1 autovet unit introduced in fortress (excluding spahi), which sucks anyways (cav archer) - 1 unique unit introduced in fortress (spahi) - Great mercs (manchu, spahi, mameluke) Russia - Good economy build, cheap units - 3 autovet units introduced in fortress, two of which are useless (cav archer, halberdier) - 1 unique unit introduced in fortress (oprichinik) - Decent mercs (highlander, manchu) - Great unique church ability (westernization and 9 kalmucks) Germany - Pretty good economy - 3 free uhlans or 2-3 free mercs with every shipment in fortress - 2 autovet units introduced in fortress - 1 unique unit introduced in fortress (War Wagon) - Good and enhanced merc shipments (black riders, hackapells, jaegers) France - Great economy - 4 autovet units intoduced in fortress - 1 unique unit introduced in fortress (cuirassier) British - Great economy - 1 autovet unit introduced in fortress (dragoon) - 0 unique units introduced in fortress - Pretty bad military shipments - Good unique church Dutch - Great economy - 3 autovet units in fortress - 1 unique unit introduced in fortress (ruyters) - Great unique church (bank limit increase trade off, 5 waardelgers) Ports - Ability to set up a 3 tc boom faster than any other civ - 3 autovet units in fortress - 2 unique units in fortress - Epic mercs (mamelukes, ronin) - Good unique church If one civ is obviously top, (which IMO one is) then which is 2nd 3rd 4th etc... |
