Running a web bot/spider that downloaded a very large number of pages - more than could possibly justified as "personal use".Automated spam (advertising) or intrustion attempts (hacking).They might be the only unit in vanilla AoE3 that really strikes fear into these guys with massive hitpoint pools, since they can chase them down and do rapid damage.Your current IP address has been blocked due to bad behavior, which generally means one of the following:
Just watch what's happening and you won't lose many.īlack Riders I use less frequently but they sure are powerful against elite heavy cavalry like Cuirassiers and Spahis. You don't want ten skirmishers opening fire on your Landschnekt as they close the distance, or cannon raking your beloved Swiss Pikemen. If you send in some other troops first to take the brunt of the damage, mercs will do better.
The first two because they're tough as nails can can really tear through an army fast, especially if they are second or third to the scene. Send them to the rear for healing before they die.įourth, everyone is going to have their particular preferences but my favorites would be Landschnekt, Ronin, and Black Riders. Even mercs can get decimated if they are countered properly.
Third, once they've arrived it's important to take good care of them, don't just send them into battle without watching them work, otherwise bad things can happen. It's also rare for me to ship fourth age mercenary armies since they're so expensive and don't serve one particular purpose. I also wouldn't ship mercenaries without at least 300 gold left afterwards, in case I need to muster some troops in a hurry. My overriding priority in every game, apart from surviving, is to get to Industial as fast as possible. I don't think I ever ship mercenaries until Age IV, because I'd rather use all that gold for aging up.
