LetswaveaBook Posted March 16, 2022 Report Share Posted March 16, 2022 It is a 1v1 with Macedonians vs. Seleucids: Which faction do you think has the advantage? Casted by @mysticjim If we want to understand balancing, I think we should also discuss fair matches (instead of 60 firecav agains 80 CS infantry). 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dizaka Posted March 16, 2022 Report Share Posted March 16, 2022 I think it strongly depends on the map's per player population, size of map, and when players overall attack. If it's a small map, irrelevant of population, you're better off with Mace attacking early with mercenaries. If it's a large map and there's a lot of travel, and higher population, you're better off being Seleucids. If you're a player who attacks early, it's probably better to play Mace but not on large maps or with large per player populations - unless you win the RNG lottery for metal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BreakfastBurrito_007 Posted March 17, 2022 Report Share Posted March 17, 2022 (edited) For TGs at least ( I am a bing bong who does not play 1v1), Mace is stronger overall because the merc is more OP in general, in terms of counter-pike, mace have a great option with the crossbows, while seles best one I think is mercenary archer. Macedonians biggest downside I think is their lack of antiram, which can make for situations that are very unfortunate. I like the seleucid cavalry especially with hero, but they have no "bread" to spread their melee cav champions over, like mace and romans do. I have a lot of fun with seles but mace win more I think.

Expand Good point. Sometimes, the power of particular units is hidden by trends in gameplay. Before fall 2021 few players did "merc rushes" with cav or inf and at the same time there were lots of complaints about consular bodyguard. I think after all the merc-cav proliferation, Romans are less able than ever to get their champions because they need to fight earlier in defense or offense because of extra p2 activity that is caused by mercenary attacks. I would argue that consular bodyguard are still OP (too much armor), its just we don't see them very often due to mercs. I am not saying that merc rushes should not exist (they are very exciting/fun), just that it obscures other balance issues. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
