An all-round nation roundup!

[StoleMyCoconut]

Hi guys, I just want to mention some nations which are really good and well rounded to play around with. Those nations do have alot of options and nice strenghts and also do not fall off as much late game as other nations.

Those nations are:

Hungary, There is no way you can go wrong with this nation it does have pikes, muskets a good stable and a normal 18th musket and high power skirmishers.

Switzerland, good pikes with good bullet defence normal muskets which is good. a good cavalry line aswell and a normal 18th century musket and the best skirmisher in the game

France: normal pikes normal muskets, a good cavalry line normal 18th muskets and a good skirmisher.

England: normal pikes normal muskets, a good cavalry line normal 18th muskets and a normal skirmisher.

Spain: good pikes debatelable weak muskets, a normal cavalry line normal 18th muskets

Saxony: normal pikes a normal musket, a good cavalry line a good musket ( you only need a few upgrades and you got a powerful musket and one whos easy to upgrade which means you can attack quicker and destroy your opponent)

Prussia: normal pikes normal muskets, a good cavalry line and a good musket

Austria: Roundshiers (superior to pikes), weak muskets, a good cavalry line and a normal musket and a normal skirmisher

Why these nations? They are really well rounded and do well in any situation you can adapt very well with those only spain doesnt has 2 strenghts but also doesnt haves a real weakness (the pikemen do make up for it) theres no need to produce muskets with these.

I hope it might help some beginners out I surely been thinking about it myself lately because I been making alot of mistakes but some nations are more mistake friendly as others thats why I made this list for you guys, enjoy!

And if its not on the list it either has significant drawbacks to it or a different nation just does it by a big margin better! I will not talk about Ukraine.

Just a few things.

Austria's roundshiers are meant for quick rushes or responses, they're not superior to pikes. Pikes are superior when in numbers and when upgraded.

Prussia has the best 18th century musketeer in game but also has a good Grenadier, perhaps the best in the game I'm not really sure, but it's probably close to that.

You also forgot to mention that Denmark has a pretty unique 18th Century Muskteer that can throw grenades and is close in terms of stats to the Prussian one.

Also, Austria and Spain's 17th Muskteers are not weak, they just require setup compared to other nations which make them slower, but they're better armored. Netherlands' 17th Century musketeers are the fastest firing unit in the game.

From multiplayer experience I can't really rely onthe mmost stuff your mentioning I'm afraida good late game doesn't matters if you get killed before that and roundshiers are superior to pikes from experience aswell I did even make the list shorter now only including,


Switzerland, Hungary, Austria and France because they do have really good options to do well from the beginning till the end.


I did also mafe a video about it a few minutes ago so people can learn from it I'm a fairly experienced Cossacks 3 player.

Some things just sound good in theory but won't go well in an actual battle.

Some things just sound good in theory but highlanders would get destroyed depending on the circumstances. Why? Because you will never leave an army of skirmishers alone unless you got skirmishers of multiple nations.

Hey, everything apart from my Switzerland/Hungary notes is from past experience.

But as far my notes for the Jaegers and Highlanders, it was tested in the editor in 1v1 and 196 vs 196 formation battles.
