i don't know what happened lately to nerf xbows or something in vanilla, but it makes me sick.Isn't LI supposed to counter HI???
basic scenario happens on carolina:
Starting, 14 vills, aging like i usually do, send schooners, pump fishing boats... 10 minutes in the game, i scouted him and saw muskets coming out i start pumping out xbow and 5 pikes you never know. having 42 vills i suppose i olmost outboomed him while he's not fish booming... i didn't rely enough on troops.
he attacks and slightly outnumbers me, but not with that great numbers. xbows get pwnt, minuteme get pwnt, game over.
there was no tc fire as i assumed winning this battle and preparing to outboom him and go fortress. aswell i didn't assume it neccesary with no vills being attacked.
what am i doing wrong? isn't it supposed that even 20 xbows should be able to kill 30 muskets with ease? what's happening ... what am i doing wrong?
the only true counter i've found to be succesfull against muskets are cannons and skirms...
somebody help me out?
