i just hope they change coyote shipment from 5 to 6. :-S for rod, the only civ has problem with them are iroquous and british. iroquous need the card to get CIR tech but spainish player can use that shipment to boost rod too

i rarely see spainish has pike now :S, rod is better in all aspect, apart from siege, which is not that bad, with 6 speed u can suddenly rush in take down house and run away .. , i recall to nerf rod multilplier vs cav from 3 down to 2.4( make their attack out put vs cav down to 30), also X vs Light inf from 2.25 down to 1.7 so spainish player actually have to use pike vs FU cav . now they just mass rod mix with lancer. an example, even urber dutch hailbadier with speed upgrade still cant handle it. lancer with card does 72 damage to hailbadier --> kill hailbadier in 3 hits, vet rod does 14.04 damage to hailbadier.. hailbadier do 15 damage to rod, 75 damage to lancers. for every 10 hailbadier, spainish can get 3 lancer,7 rod. dutch has to micro their hail to attack lancer. other wise lancer will just wtf pawn em. a fight that u need to micro and not ur opponent means .... more time raiding, more time for eco planning... this gets even worse due to spainish fast shipment, so his army will either outnumber urs, or out tech urs. in the past spainish lack of a unit that they can mass. in WC, they have rod.

As people have said before there are ways to beat Rods, they aren't quite OP people here seem to be trigger happy on wanting to nerf or boost units. I'm happy with the way games are played as it is.
