Their economy is good at wood and fishing, thanks to getting wood when advancing ages, and carrying more from fishing. Defense is average, without Architecture and Treadmill Crane. They also lack Heresy, so their elephants are vulnerable to conversion, combined with no Husbandry. Their Monks are also underwhelming, as they lack Redemption and Fervor, which not only makes them less functional, but it is also harder to collect Relics. Outside of the Siege Elephant, their siege weapons are cheaper, with access to Bombard Cannons and Siege Onagers but without Siege Engineers. Lacking Stable technologies is a hinderance for their elephants. Although Wootz Steel and Medical Corps slightly compensate for their Stable, it is more useful for the elephant units and infantry. They are the only civilization to have access to the Battle Elephant, but not its elite upgrade. To offset them, their Stable units are lacking, with only Light Cavalry and (non-Elite) Battle Elephants as their Stable choices, with neither Husbandry, nor Bloodlines, nor Plate Barding Armor. In addition to this, they have above-average ranged units with fully upgraded Arbalesters, Hand Cannonners, and faster-attacking Skirmishers and Elephant Archers. The Dravidians are classified as an infantry and navy civilization, and have fully upgraded infantry and Dock, with Barracks technologies at half price, while both unique units are in their main strength part. Team bonus Docks provide +5 population space. Skirmishers and Elephant Archers attack 25% faster.Receive 200 wood when advancing to the next Age.Wootz Steel: Infantry and cavalry attacks ignore armor.Medical Corps: Elephant units regenerate 30 HP per minute.I can't imagine aoe is much different.Age of Empires III: The Asian Dynasties Review You hit diamond league before you have to micro or know ♥♥♥♥ about the game.

And Britons happen to be one of those civs, but I think a knight civ is probably easier to use.Įither that or huns, its probably easier to learn how macro works if you don't keep getting housed.Īt the very least, the 'pick a simple easy strategy and just learn how to macro' strategy is good in starcraft. So I'd reccomend any civ where its very simple and obvious how to play. Just build villagers constantly, spend your money, if you're doing those 2 you're probably already above average. And that's all a new player should be doing. And if a new player is trying to figure out what units they should build and how to micro cav + archer + mangonel + etc all at once, they're not macroing.

Because with Britons, its very obvious what you're going to do every game. I would actually reccomend a civ like Britons (not necessarily them) though. But yeah they're not super noob friendly. To be fair on the first point, noobs also don't know how to micro against the extra range. (3) Cheaper TC doesnt really matter as noobs have zero idea about booming with extra TCs. (2) Lack of thumb ring makes their xbows / arbs bad in straight fights. (1) They dont know how to micro with the extra range. Britons arent really that good for noobs : Though when playing them live you only need 5 on sheep instead of the usual 6 as they have an eco bonus that makes villagers on sheep work 25% faster.

I also reccommend downloading the mod 'Interactive Build Order Guide' and learn one of the archer build orders. Britons is a civ that is loved by noobs and pros alike. They also have decent dock tech so can work well on hybrid maps.

Britons also have a full tech blacksmith and a strong barracks with champion and halbs which makes them versatile and gives some good options when it comes to tech-switching, though their stable is bad. Originally posted by Far<3:Britons is 'noob favorite' when it comes to civs, very strong archers that can outrange enemy archers/skirms and enemy mangonels, so they are not that micro intensive.
