    Subject: beating the french in treaty.

    This is a big proble, in 40 mins they will have a huge eco, and will be using cavalry and skirmishers constantly, i find it very hard to overpower them after the 40 mins and any solution would be appreciated.

     

    (tactics with japan on how to beat french) very much appreciated

    Use Naginata's vs Skirm and use your Ashigarus vs his Cuirassiers. Use Attack Move with Naginatas en if Cuirassiers come, put Ashigarus in Melee Mode, so they do much more damage vs the Curs.

    Try Sioux in a team game (so your ally can wall you). Wakinas (who can build) and Rifle Riders teepee spam will own French. Use your warchief to kill cannons.

    Spain is hard to play against good french 1v1, Spain only have 90 pop plus natives, but french have 120 pop plus natives. French just need to split up army attack different sides to win

    Very true. French has op cuirs wherever they are on the map. Spain's drags only beat them when backed up by 10 missionries. Once Spain has to fight in more than 1 spot, their eco sucks, so they are screwed.

     Too few players know how to deal with the tactic attacking from two sites..

    French is so OP. only japan can handle them, but i would say french have the advantage to win vs. japan. 

     Imo spain works fine vs french, but the facts its you need to play 10 time better than the french player to beat him with civs like spain, ports brit u name it.

    Subject: Re: beating the french in treaty.

    ur doing something wrong if u let him split up ur army...

    If u keep pressure with full pop on his base, nvm if he attacks u, with ur missionarie siege he will come for u. U should not split up ur army as spain, thats foolish. 

    What would u do if his entire army was fighting ur 60% army and off course killing it, and keeps getting closer and closer...

    Spain 90 units prob even better than french's 120..

    French just need to win the first battle and gain offensive, then your spain is screwed. You are forced to defend gendarmes, inca and mortors from different sides with weak goons and slow artileries, I find lancers take too long to take down artileries without missionaries.
