1 hussar is 200 resources, 1 Uhlan is 150 resources.
So 3 Hussars= 600 resources Which would be 4 Uhlans.
But since Germany is supposed to get 2 extra uhlans per shipment in Colonial, they should get 6, not 5 Uhlans.
And yes, 5 uhlans are better than 5 cossacks but isnt it Germany's bonus to get extra Uhlans?
5 Cossacks is like a normal card but resource wise it costs the same as 5 Uhlans.
However, Germany is supposed to get better shipments.
So this card needs a boost.
And about the other opinions:
@Ulti: Yes, Germany gets 4 military shipments but 4 landsknecht for 400 gold are just useless (unless you try to be a smarty pants and doppel rush a Spanish which will NEVER work vs any decent player), the 5 Uhlans card is worse than it should be, 9 xbows is nice, I agree, but 3 dopps is just a waste of a card.
9 xbows alone, or 5 cossacks/13 strels/5 uhlans or w/e alone can do serious damage.
3 dopps just get SlAuGtHeReD.
Watch some few musks focus fire your 3 pathetic dopps and type in GG.
I havent played roughly 400 rated and unrated German games to not know that dopps suck early game.
If your opponents is a tard and goes mass hussars 3 dopps are nice, but who would go for hussars if you can make musks which kill all German units in Colonial?
(try to kill of a good Russian musk rush with xbows in Colonial... its nearly impossible.)
I once faught a Russian on Carolina and massed xbows vs his musk rush.
I even had 2 TPs and could hold him off for some time.
But since he kept coming into my base I had to make more and more xbows and couldnt go fortress or stop his growing waterboom.
When he pulled back for some time and attacked my TP I counterattacked but after my ~15 pikes got focus fired by strels/musks, a huge mass of cossacs came and killed ALL of my xbows which couldnt do shit.
Hell why dont Germans get ****ing muskets!!!!
Then it was GG.
I had made like 15 pikes+100 xbowsn and 20 uhlans vs ~125 musks+~50 strels+~20 cossacks and I lost.(not to mention that he had more vills, a boat boom AND map control)
I did everything I could, raided, microed etc.
But he still outspammed me and there was nothing I could do.
How tf am I supposed to counter a Russian musk rush in Colonial as Germans????
*sigh*
This was just a short discription of one of the games which showed me how weak Germans are..
