Hi guys, i was asking myself which was the strongest ARMY in the game(including all the civs of aoe3 and twc)!I mean,i only want to know about the military potential of all armies..I guess it's not a simple question but i wanna know your opinion..Thx 

I don't know, but I would guess either mass cavalry or cannon combined with a few other things... I haven't played lately but a mass Gendarme force would've pwnt back when I used to.

no i mean which civ has the best army??

i'd say the spainish.

Spainish only strong in age 3 really cause of strong age 3 shipments, I would say ports combo of jintes and cassradores is very strong combo

Before you say army is strong you must tell what is is supposed to fight.

It is very difficult to tell which army is most effective in general, especially if you don't even know which civ it is supposed to fight.

 

But this army is probably one of the favorites (Iroquois on Saguenay):

20 light cannon (60 pop)

66 forrest prowlers(66 pop)

44 Cree trackers(0 pop)

66 Huron mantlets (0 pop)

 25 Cherokee alies (0 pop): can send by a card infinite times

(+30 tomahavk warriors over population cap (with TC big button technology): but this can be only used one time)

 You could also add some other military shipments, but one time shipments are probably not worth the card in late game.

If fully upgraded with all cards+firepit attack dance+Iroquois warchief(cards become more effective), then this army is extremly strong. Especially since native warriors (Cree,Huron) benefit from both Iroquois "all infantry cards" and "native warrior cards". THIS WAY HURON MANTLETS HAVE 855 HIT POINTS, WHILE CREE TRACKERS HAVE 1026!!!

And despite this massive army, you can still have 99 SETTLERS, since native warriors cost no population and Iroquois have 225 population limit (with just temporary switch of firepit dance). 

 

This army would devastate most armies, because it is huge and all units are ranged (very important for huge armies). Probably it would win against anything except 40 cuirrasiers or 50 lancers (considering enemy has maxed settlers).

 

 

dutch. heavy cannons and ruyters

100 pop. of ruters

100 pop. of cannons.

i would say british- 200 pop of imp lbows (with yeomen of course).

anyone who challenges this army must be very brave indeed......

Of course the strongest army is portuguese at least it is when the units are fully ugraded and you are playing a 55min nr hm nb game. i would say that the army isnt the strongest. however, since the portuguese have the best economy in the game and since you can get very good cards which can make your army even to any other. Of course you didnt mention in which way its the best so i think its the best because you can afford to have a large one.

I agree

british with redcoats
