This help to claim lands and regional resources much quicker than your enemies. Also +100% population limit from militia research is also OP, which exceeds total population by 25%. Almost all units move 25% faster so that's another great bonus.

      First thing? Apologies for the huge post ahead of time.
      You do know WHY it's happening, right? Ukraine isn't innocent, they never told you what Zelenski's little secret police were doing BEFORE Russians marched in. That is to say, the kidnapped innocent Russian people living in Ukraine, tortured, murdered, and did a lot of the latter execution style. All ordered by that cowardly chode Zelenski.
      Lets also just forget that his little "elite force" are Neo-Nazis and Ukraine is actually HEAVILY Anti-LGBT. As to the latter, they're simply pandering so you don't bother to look up their real stances. I guess we'll forget how he just cancelled elections and also made it illegal to speak badly about him or his tyranny. I mean, they're not going to tell you this, of course. Zelenski is a puppet of the Western Elites, so they need him to stay in power so he can be their little go-to for money laundering. Gee, I wonder where all the Billions/Trillions are going and why they won't let us audit it. Anyone who doesn't even follow their actions and the logic train behind them versus what they say _deserves to be fooled._ Not to mention, go ahead and see that Ukraine sent billions in "donations" to a certain BLUE party.
      You don't have to believe me, of course. I fully expect to be called a "conspiracy theorist", but at the same time, I want them to look up Ukraine before the Russians walked in. Then follow what happened over the first several months, what the Elites and Media told you, then what they did, and how they opposed any investigation into OUR TAX MONEY that they just decided to hand Zelenski to "help Ukraine". Also, you know the military units we donated to them? Ukrainians just sold them on the Black Market. Go ahead and tell me none of this economic downturn crap isn't intentional. That their "Green Agenda" is actually meant to be benevolent and not just an excuse to utterly destroy America so they can establish their little Global Aristocratic Government. These Elites literally think they're better than us by the circumstances of their birth alone and that we are inferior by comparison, which is why they do what they want and actually do believe themselves "Above" laws that we are subject to.

    Edit:
    1. More than one person can research missle shield. Late game this means you start targetting opponents libraries to cut off research.
    2. There is an "infinite production" icon on the right of the progress bar in every building. Take a wild guess at what that does.
    3. Germans are my favorite faction because they get granaries/mills at the start of the game. A little op for economy...

      Russians aren`t OP. The Game is quite balanced in PlayerVSPlayer. But the AI is not very good vs defensive nations and attrition in early game. So it`s funny to watch the AI runnin vs your attrition damage in early game. But if he fight vs harder computer AI he cant really attack them back. In different situations other Nations best: Standard Game PvP 1v1 maybe Dutch best (Best Economy, you start with 2 merchants and market place), Nomad Game 1v1 PvP High Ress. Japanese best (Start with cheap farms give you fast economy, and you have good HI), in 4v4 maybe Nubians best (you have fast merchants and lot of rare ressources), on boomin sea maps maybe Egyptians best (for many wonders). For Rushin fast in Age I: Japanese, For Rushin fast in Age II: Turks best. Lakota and Mongols are always good attackin/raidin nations in Age II too. On Land map with many mountains Inca perform very well (extra gold for mountains)...etc...

      A normal player should play against tough, and one that can play should play against tougher or toughest.
      And the fact that he took 7 computers against him, just made it easier since they werent on a team, so they bombed eachother too

    • @pcgamer_buds8814
      @pcgamer_buds8814 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The game just have very deep per civ strategy that any nation can thrive depending on the players plan that favors the initial situation presented in the beginning of the game. The nations are pretty balanced and most pro players play random nations. The top pros would really choose Aztecs on a 1v1 or even British on Sahara(most played map by the pros) because of free infantry. Iroquois is also good because of extra scout and fast infantry. Spain has extra scout but at least 3 initial ruins visible could make them very fearsome.
      On nomad my choice due to my less aggressive style is Nubians or Greeks when everything is played very low and expensive.
      The best feature of the game is the taunt and flaring. These features ease the players on team games, give more fun and better coordinations.
      In my entire gaming experience I’ve never played a dynamic game that’s too deep on strategy than RoN. This is the game for smart and fast thinking players. Although fast clicking gives advantage but the pacing balances it really well.
