I am really confused about choking as I can see Monty could send a 10+ units quite soon while at the beginning I really need to balance building unit and wonder. Ofc I will use all warmonger AIs.
Your suggestion is really nice, makes me wanna try it.
But what do you think I cripple AIs by raze 2-4 cities in his deep territory, his capital and maybe 3 more cities while let him keep his border cities. So he will be crippled and other AIs have no way to resettled the land. Ofc, pillaging to hell.
Here is what I though about Praets, on forested hill with fortify bonus, praeat will become 16 str without any promotions, while longbow is 13,5 with 1 first strike. So even I somehow can not use praets in offense, they surely can defense very well.
Pike is 18 against mounted but more expensive.
Elephants is 12 only against mounted
Crossbow is 15 against melee with 1st strke but ofc more expensive.
So we can see that combine longbows with drill and praets with woodsman can hold up against all kind of mix.
Am I somewhere wrong with my thinking?
