On closed maps such as Arena and BF, both civs are quite popular. Okay so I am not going to say that Teutons are a better Arabia civ than Franks but, in this particular match up, do Teutons have all of the tools necessary to deal with Franks? They are obviously slower, but is their sheer power of economy, defense, Monks, siege, and possible even Teutonic Knights enough to overcome the deadly speed of the Franks?. These are just to give people ideas, you do not need to address them specifically if you do not want to! Imperial Age Unique Tech: Crenellations (Castles +3 range garrisoned infantry fire arrows)īelow are some match up-specific talking points to get you all started.
Castle Age Unique Tech: Ironclad (Siege Weapons +4/+0 armor). Unique Unit: Teutonic Knight (Expensive, powerful, but slow infantry). TEAM BONUS: Units better resist conversion. Towers garrison 2x units TCs garrison +10 units. Imperial Age Unique Tech: Bearded Axe (Throwing Axemen +1 range). Castle Age Unique Tech: Chivalry (Stables work +40% faster). Unique Unit: Throwing Axeman (Heavy infantry with short ranged attack). Feel free to discuss how the civilizations compare in team games as well! So long as you are talking about how the two civilizations interact, anything is fair game! Last week we discussed the Britons vs Japanese, and next up is the Franks vs Teutons!
Feel free to ask questions, pose strategies, or provide insight on how the two civilizations in question interact with each other on any map type and game mode.
The goal is to collectively gain a deeper understanding of how two civilizations interact with each other in a variety of different settings. Hello and welcome back for another Age of Empires 2 civilization match up discussion! This is a series where we discuss the various advantages, disadvantages, and quirks found within the numerous match ups of the game. still technically Wednesday for me so I'm good! ) Good thing I totally didn't forget to do write this post.
