Vikings are a very good archer civ, full tree and the free handcart is a top-tier eco-boost.
- moduspol 2y agoI just distinctly remember getting slaughtered by Paladins, and having very few good options to counter.
- princevegeta89 2y agoNote that the Viking Pikemen have a lot of extra HP though.
- pertymcpert 2y agoWith non-unique units paladins can only be countered by upgraded halberdier, heavy camels or a huge mass of arbalesters. Monks counter them in small numbers but in late game when they're massed they're almost unstoppable unless you have halb/camel in equal numbers.
- princevegeta89 2y agoWell even arbalesters get slaughtered by Paladins, unless we are able to push them behind a wall or a corner with only a very tiny attack area for the Paladins.
- pertymcpert 2y agoI think even in open ground if you have a big enough group you can still trade well. Ethiopian arbs fire 25% faster. If you micro the arbs to focus on individual paladinsthey can one shot paladins and their attack surface area increases with the sqrt() of their numbers. For sure it's a lot more work than spamming halb.
- princevegeta89 1y agoYeah it needs a lot of micro though.
- lippihom 2y agoGood candidate for the next civ split after this next release. Curious to see what happens.
