YOUR CIV
OPPONENT
Holy Roman EmpireThe Holy Roman Empire builds early economic scaling through its Prelate's village buffs, funneling resources into a resilient infantry formation of Landsknechte and reinforced defensive structures whose overwhelming area-of-effect damage and fortress-like durability gradually outlast and overpower opponents.
Matchup advice3 TIPS
Men at arms trade favorably against most knights in the game, but that's if they're at least equal in resources; with archer support, Keshiks just melt through.
HRE infantry are slower than Keshiks, so if they commit to a fight, there's no way to back out.
HRE in general kind of has Mongol's number for the most part. Faster spearman, ability to heal in dark age, and just in general better economy with the HRE feels very strong.
