Mist u probably not a french civ player:
CbD unraid able? yes if u waste card which can gain u at least 700 res or 4 more of them (pioneer). O yea they can fight back alrite, I'm going to bring them to your base and burn ur tc. LMAO! anyone use them to fignt only when they r versing otto abus gun or nader. and ur example is 1 of the worse when u use skrim to count how many shots require to kill 1 upgraded CdB(1 card and 200 food market upgard) skirm depends on the multiplier, and Cdb got range resis. thats lyk saying how many strelets needed to take down 1 settler upgarded (pioneer and market will make them close to CdB's hp, and remember they also get more benefit from that card, i remember its 6x% v 4x%) and that warfare card its a semi native upgarde card, 10% to CdB is noting useful if anyone that is really trying to make them unraid able or use them to fight (which i dont think no body will unless aganst otto or useing low lv hc)
and using them to fight raiders (UHLANS, 2 lets say) is one of worse thing u can do, u will end up loosing 1 or 2 if u set them attacking the raiders without retreating, worse will happen if 3 hussar or 5 uhlan as a total raiding shipment. a person play me when i'm new to german his new to french both low hc, i send my uhlans to raid (2, from 700 gold card) and he show a perfect example of a person expect to CdBs to fight lyk the menu saids. in frong of the tc, he us at least half of the vill to attack me (fully upgrade)it takes them 3 shot to kill one and they started attacking the second one 1 vill is dead. losts-
French 1 card and 2 market upgrade and 1 vill( which is not a lost if they just hide in the tc ) and 8 vill of fighting time
german 2 FREE uhlan while FFing
CdB is not really a bonus IMO, yes they walks lyk a musketeer and kill 30 hp animal with 2 shot, they still serve as a normal vill in regular game. Pioneer card in not in deck in most games for all french players ( not counting low HC and rooks ) and this bonus is too less compare to other civ ( not a bonus IMO) german uhlan is not only a raider, u can send them to sout + scard opponent vill away, or put them near enemy second closest gold mine to take map control
German - FF civ
Port - Turtle boom, FF/FI civ
British - Boom civ, map control civ
Otto - gay rush civ
Russain rush civ
Spanish - rush, FF civ
French -..... not a rush civ.... dont get much boom .... maybe... turtle without boom civ
and how is spanish prototpye(just let you know this is not includ the HC which i bet the make it after the basic game root***spanish before fast shipment), got unit of all kind
stable:
raiding
anti inf
anti cav
Rax:
2nd age anti inf
anti cav, siege
all in one anti cav
speed anti range cav
anti inf
halb is a pike with more hand attack less multiplier, same as pike's role better meat sheid but not require
not other civ have such a fulll units of choice, french is closest to it
anti inf cav change to moster cav
and lack of anti range cav. i dont know y lancer and rod arent in all the civs. they r the basic units
call me a noob if u dont lyk my point of view, well it told me 90 french lv to find out other civs are a lot better in bonus than french and keep the postes more peaceful - take about the topic not poster
