French late game

[John Xina]

How do you counter french maxed royal knights in late game if they also have like 15 cannons behind them?Rush them in lower ages?

[Subtle Butt ( >ω<)っ ♡]

Depends which civ, but if the french somehow manage to mass up 15 royal cannon (thats 600 gold each) and all from their artillery landmark (each cannon 40s training) theres something wrong here. Thats also 45 pop space in army with 15 cannons. Best way late game is to use your own knights and handcannons. Handcannons will massacre unsupported knights and you'll outnumber him with his cannons taking up alot of pop. Rus is pretty good with Streltsy and upgraded springald since you'll outrange his cannons. HRE is also good since you can outproduce him with culverins and countersnipe his siege.

Use spears and crossbows in a 2/3 and 1/3 ratio. Mix in a few knights and man at arms as 'tank' units to greatly increase the time your army stays alive.

Also don't let someone get 15 cannons, that costs an insane amount of resources and implies you have not been pressuring the enemy enough.

what i know from sc2. l2p, >>>micro macro and build orders >> APM, awareness, mapcontrol, scouting, knowledge of all mechanics and maps. be good at those things before you think about tactics. someone who out-booms you will kill you with horse men even if you build only spearmen.

vs cannons: springalds, culverines
vs late game unqiue units( like R.knights), how about YOUR late game unique unit?, spearman, crossbowmen, wollolo, AEO siege (nest of bees, mangonels, Ribauldequins)

i bet that if ur enemy had 15 cannons YOU didnt have 15+ bombards or 30-40 spirngalds or 15 culverines ready, DID YOU? and our eco and villager count was prolly lacking behind a lot.

rus are better unique handcannoner plus the best springald with more range

form a front line wall of men at arms / spear me (75%/25%) backed with support line of crossbowmen / hand cannon units.

make sure u fully upgrade your infantry defenses via blacksmith and university 10% training as well. too much beef for the knights to chew while their getting nuked by your ranged.
