Focus This makes knocking down their walls difficult and their defensive structures benefit as well. The Byzantines also possess a strong navy with full naval technologies and have full access to gunpowder units. The Cataphract is a well-rounded cavalry unit with attack bonus vs infantry, trample damage after researching Logistica and a hidden bonus armor against anti-cavalry attacks.
Franks Rush Strategy? In addition, the Byzantines' Halberdiers, skirmishers, and camels have a cost reduction.
Despite the fact they have a nearly complete tech tree, they still lack. The Lithuanian Leitis is also a great counter against Teutonic Knights, since its attack ignores armor completely, eliminating the main quirk Teutonic Knights have, and leaving them basically "naked". The Franks conquered and inhabited modern day France, which was previously known as Gaul. The upgrade to Elite Throwing Axeman costs 1,000F/850G.
Age of Empires Series Wiki is a FANDOM Games Community. Japanese Samurais are also a threat to them. Yeah if it wasn't for the cost, paladin would be a great 1 hour rush unit. Their many defensive bonuses are very helpful in "Defend the Wonder" and "King of the Hill" game modes. As their units have more conversion resistance, enemy Monks will have a hard time against Teutons - even the Monks of prominent Monk civilizations, such as Aztecs, Burmese, Saracens, Slavs, Lithuanians, and Spanish.
Ironclad now costs 100 less wood than previously and is still a good improvement for their siege units when considering that African Kingdoms introduced a new type of siege unit: the Siege Tower. I think "rush" is used in the same sense here as in "80 mins no rush". Due to the fact that Castles are 25% cheaper, the Franks can build Castles for a more effective defensive system. Their HP bonus for buildings greatly helps their team, as it allows them to create strong defensive structures.
Their Imperial Age unique technology, Bearded Axe, reflect this by giving their Throwing Axemen more range. Throwing Axeman Also, Franks can cover the natural lack of cavalry of the Mayans. Despite the fact that Throwing Axemen can be employed to get an edge late-game (as Trash busters), Franks lacks Hussars and the final armor and attack Blacksmith upgrades for their archery, limiting the effectiveness of the Elite Skirmishers. Their Trush (Feudal Age Tower Rush) however is one of the best due to free Murder Holes and more garrison capacity, especially when supported by Skirmishers as these can join the forward villagers in towers for even more arrows. Since update 35584, their farms are 40% cheaper instead of 33% as previously, and the Militia and Spearman lines gain +1 melee armor since the Castle Age. It may seem useless on paper, but the Cumans' team Bonus (+50% hit points for Palisades) is a great boost in the early-game defense, and it stacks with the Byzantine hit point bonus for all their buildings, making an early turtling tactic much more viable. Their buildings have bonus hit points which increase with every age advance. Being the only non Native-American civilization that lacks Light Cavalry puts Teutons at disadvantage in trash wars, especially against civilizations with good Skirmishers (as they can't counter them very effectively) such as Vietnamese, Britons, and Aztecs, and good Halberdiers (since these would eat the Scout Cavalry) such as most infantry civilizations.
Their Knight line is one of the best in the game, only worse than Teuton Knights (not to be confused with Teutonic Knights) and Lithuanian ones with a full Relic bonus.
Press question mark to learn the rest of the keyboard shortcuts . As they have bulkier buildings, arguably they have the better chance to win by Wonder victory in a standard game match. Many French "crossbowmen" actually wielded arbalests instead, as illustrated in Jean Froissart Chronicle depiction of the. The Persian Team bonus is also helpful, as this furthers the capabilities of the Paladin when facing archers. In a one-on-one situation, the Byzantine Heavy Camel Rider loses to a Paladin with the Bloodlines upgrade.
Architecture Their Town Centers have more garrison space, which could be an advantage in nomad maps if they luckily enough placed their initial Town Center near the Town Center of an opponent, as they can garrison more villagers and destroy the opponent very early in the match. Unfortunately, they don't truly excel at any strategy save defense. They can destroy siege weapons at a distance if micromanaged; even against civilizations with good siege weapons (like the Mongols, Celts and Slavs). Despite having several defensive bonuses, most of them require garrisoning units inside buildings to get effective and exploit the benefits. Teutons have all upgrades for their Champions and Halberdiers, and +1/+2 melee armor in the Castle/Imperial Age in the. Since Frankish Castles are much cheaper, Throwing Axemen can be spawned more readily than other unique units, making them a serviceable replacement to the Champion against trash units, as they can counter with ease Halberdiers, Hussars and Skirmishers, giving the Franks a huge edge against civilizations with bad Trash units, such as Turks. Foragers work 25% faster. Their archers are weak. Byzantines also get cheaper Camels, making this combination even more effective. In 1v1, the axemen needs a whole lot of upgrades before they get good. Could be wrong, but throwing axes seem cost effective against hand cannons. these includes Britons, Japanese and Magyars (of course once they get to Imperial this advantage is no longer a problem for them).
It is critically important to frequently scout the base of the enemy to try to determine which strategy they are using.
The Byzantine team bonus makes monk support more effective, as the monks can heal faster. The Leitis is also a great counter against Teutonic siege units with Ironclad, since this technology is useless when facing Lithuanian Leitis. Mayans also make great teammates for the Franks, as they can play as a board for the franks in springboard tactics. The Burmese might be the most nasty buster to Franks, as their unique unit can deal great damage to their both Knights and Throwing Axemen, and they can hit-and-run them. Even civilizations with good siege engines, like Celts, Turks, Ethiopians, Khmer and Koreans will have a harder time against a turtling Byzantine settlement.
Byzantines make great support in team games, as they have several defensive bonuses that can aid their allies. Happy Tuesday everyone, and welcome to week 9 of the Civ Strategies discussion. Arguably they are one of the best equipped civilizations in Post-Imperial matches. Franks lacking this upgrade was both for gameplay balance purposes and because in French, the word was used without clear distinction for both crossbows and arbalests. Their unique unit, the Longbowman, has the longest range of any archer. Teutonic Paladins can also survive longer against Halberdiers. In the original game they only lacked the Blast Furnace technology, while in the expansion they are missing several others but are still remarkably advanced. The Persian War Elephant is especially susceptible to conversion (as the Persians do not get access to Heresy), so a team of Teutons and Persians is a good match. As Paladins are often the target of Monks, civilizations with good monks (such as Spanish, Saracens, Aztecs and Burmese) may overcome a Frankish paladin army. The Burmese, Spanish and Aztec team bonuses also aids the Franks since their mainstays of any Frankish army are paladins and they cost gold, so With Burmese Team bonus they can snatch relics rapidly, with the Aztec team bonus those relics will also generate more gold and the Spanish team bonus improves the rate of gold trade units can generate. Their infantry rush is mediocre with no Dark/Feudal Age bonuses, but infantry upgrades will scale well into the late game. Just at the start of the game, Teutons have already good defense (in Age of Kings and The Conquerors, Town Centers have more attack; in The Forgotten they have more garrison space) so the other way a player normally uses the Teutons is turtling. The Franks are fairly average until the Castle Age. As all civilizations (except the Goths) receive the new infantry technology Supplies, and considering that the Teutons are an infantry-oriented civilization, they can now amass their militia -line infantry a bit more easily.
