Is this about that -60% gold cost for knight line UT?

[Tigga]

its too late u got mine stones then u got build a castle then u got research with 500 food 300 gold .. then u need armour and attack .. by time u can actually make them your eco is so unbalanced and u are so late u prob already lost the game

[Tigga]

and all enemy has to do is spears and any other unit .. obuch are weak as wet paper

[Double G]

it's not worth mining stone for that little amount of gold, you could just mine gold like every other civ instead

I played Poles and I won, even though I was being 2v1ed. Poles is a civilisation which has a good farming bonus. Extra food = more units. I was spamming so many cheap units, I managed to survive. I made obuch, skirmisher, pikemen, siege weapons. Enemy cavalry and archers have been defeated.

The only really bad thing about this civ is a team bonus.

thats because ur enemies were much worse than you, nothing to do with poles man

poles are pretty strong right now, who cares for mining gold just place 10 folworks and place farms around it and immediately spike so much in food you can buy the castle and tech

Poles are really good. They are the Goths of Cavalry, where they spam Knights and Cavaliers, like Goths spam Huskarls.
It is a Castle Age/ Early Imp push civ, that is made to overwhelm with numbers and raid everywhere, and sucks in lategame.

In fact, they are much better than Goths, because Knights are much better than Huskarls.

Poles are kinda OP imo

They are not OP, they fall off bad against lategame civs with better Cavaliers/Paladins or Halberdiers.

Halberdier + Arbalest deletes Poles, just like Hussar + Skirm deletes Goths.
Poles are a timing based civ. Just practice your timings.

Obuch trains in 9 seconds from the castle. It is not my favorite unit, but it can spam hard.
