I was sioux against an india.
as usual he comes in with sepoys, I fought that off with shipped 6 cetan, 10 pistol, and local made bowrider.
I won that battle with help of TC and 1 WH.
no major fighting for another 5 minutes of so, we trade off a few shots. I continure to make bowrider and cetan.
then he comes with an army of mostly rajput, with small number of sepoys and that 10 tiger claw.
I watched everything i had disappeared before my eyes in seconds.
Bowrider does not counter tiger claw, but tiger claw counters cetan badly...
rajput does 20 x 3 dmg to bowrider (after +15% melee dmg card), while cetan does 30 to rajpuy...
but if rajput catch cetan in melee, cetan get owned.
if I was dumb enough to make warclub against tiger claw, their would get owned badly by sepoy and rajput.
as you can imagine, after i lost the game, i scatched my head, hard, trying to think what i should have done.
and I couldnt figure it out.
the only units that beat fast HI properly are ranged heavy infantry, instant fire LI, or stronger hand HI.
Sioux has none.
apart from that 10 pistols, everything else sioux has just dont cut it.
actually sioux had the same problem against spanish rush back in the early days onf TWC, nothing was able to beat rods.
only this time Rajpu does 80% more damage for 35% more the cost.
but i think this is just a rant after all, ES wont do anything about it as always.
