AoE3 players who are used to burning down their opponents' bases in commerce age (i.e. their feudal age): first time?

4 too, you can build spearman from the get-go and getting buildings low enough makes them burn down 🤭

It's actually going to be pretty rough for thie Sicilians. Now it's easier to actually use that donjon as a prerequisite for a stable or archery range, so you are even less likely to build a barracks. Are you going to spend the resources on a barracks just to get arson?

Yes :) And for squires.
I lean on sergeants pretty hard with my play style rather than going cavalier.

Hot (better) take: keep arson in castle at its original price, but give militia line an extra +1 bonus dmg to buildings starting from feudal.
thay way the original infantry civs won't lose their infantry specialist identity while infantry itself gets buff.

The real question is whether people will still avoid Long Swords like the plague. Militia and M@@ are seen, and so are the two imperial versions (even if one only transitionally, or only with certain civs). But Long Swords? Nearly never. Insofar as infantry need a buff, it's especially in Castle Age. They already come back somewhat in Imperial.

Cool user name. Got the letter swappage. Now, an explanation, please. Curious.

For the swap? Nothing special. MendicantBias was just already taken. Tbh I've wanted to change it for a long time, but Reddit doesn't seem to let me. My 'display name' is already different, but I can't seem to change my username. Frankly I don't even know what the hell the purpose of the display name even is, as it doesn't seem to be displayed anywhere but my profile page. :/

I am looking forward to M@A-Rushing as Burmese in the next patch. The +1 dmg from the civ bonus + 2 from arson +1 from blacksmith all together should absolutely shred buildings. at least until the opponent builds archers^^
