This guy used to be 2380 in AoE vanilla.
Watch the villager count ... the ESO stats page doesn't show his (as always ... *sigh*), but on the graph after the game, his vil counter went from 70 to 28 within the space of 5 minutes. No joke. Who says 5.6 speed Halberds can't raid? And I was half way done aging to Industrial. Was gonna get me some but honestly, I didn't need to send anything other than 15% Attack/HP and 30% boost. That's two cards. The other two were icing on the cake, just to push up the Halberds stats further, since I didn't have anything else useful to send left (I wasn't gonna research Coffee Trade even if it was going to kill me, just refuse to do it, and stil think it's the last major Dutch handicap). I can't express how much I love ES including this card. And thank god it's limited to the Dutch. Can you imagine Russians spamming such monsters? We always knew that given even one good military unit, Dutch would roll right over other civs. We were right. And should thank ES for finally giving us what we wanted. Swashbuckler attack ... 200+ damage ...
Now you might ask, how many cards did I use to get these?
30% Speed boost card.
15% Infantry HP card.
15% infantry HP and attack card.
And then I threw in Advanced Arsenal for the hell of it (like in the last few minutes of the game) for th 10% speed boost.
Then I got +10% HP from the arsenal (hey, why weren't Arsenal techs boosted like the cards?)
P.S.
Those 5 Falconets you see, they died in a single hit! That bloody Sioux Warchief got close to them, did some kind of a swipe attack and they all died! Halberds killed him just seconds later, but he had the HP to deliver the strike. After this happened, I saw his stats:
"One wants to be loved, failing that admired, failing that feared, failing that hated and despised. One wants to instill in other people some form of emotion. The soul shudders before emptiness and wants contact, no matter the cost."
