The problem is their damage went from about 250 to 150, full upgraded at gunpowder. Of course I do hang around the Copper II league, and go after idiots with bad walls, but I haven't noticed any change at all.As long as you are in gunpowder and attacking medieval, your heavy cavalry will still work fairly well. After all the resources and defense buildings around gone, I leave, because staying just means more medals to have to get rid of later.I'm gunpowder right now, but just barely, still haven't updated any of my troops yet. Once the map is cleared enough that they can start cleaning out resources reasonably safely, I drop my 4 raiders, usually I'll have my troops rally at the second ballista right before I drop the raiders. Drop 9 heavies first (if I have any cannon fodder they'll go beforehand), usually near a ballista, then about 5 seconds later, after they've cleared out some things, I drop all my ranged units, which target defenders, and try to keep them all reasonably grouped up.
What happened?I'm Greek, and I've been attacking the same way I always do.

Greece forever.06:47.counterfeitsaint Feb 26, 2010I'm a girl, and you'regnomes, and it's likewhat? Yikes.What happened?I'm Greek, and I've been attacking the same way I always do. I feel like they nerfed them so hard because everyone was switching nations, and they wanted to make sure the game isn't just France vs.
If you just want to see what's new, check that.E: New Update:For all the lazy goons, here are the big things:- Gunpowder and Enlightenment Age players no longer match up with players who are more than 1 Age difference- Now bring twice as many Gatling Guns into battle! Gatling and Heavy Gatling Gun troop space cut in half from 8 to 4- Cavalry damage reduced to 80/90/110/130/140 (were 128/144/176/208/224).
Will start working on Base Layouts section more soon too (I added one enlightenment base).I'm also now listing new edits at the bottom of the thread. Let me know what you think, and if there's anything else that needs to be added. Some of the wonders that are bad later (Medieval and beyond) are pretty decent in the first few ages.20:53.Malgrin Mar 16, 2010Made a bunch of edits/improvements/additions to the thread. Saving up my crowns to change my nation and wonder.What nation and wonder did you pick? It's not always worth the crowns, especially if you're still really early game.
