Hey,
a friend of mine is getting more involved in playing age of empires and I'm trying to help him out a little bit every now and then. We are already past the unit counter stage, as in what to build against which unit (type), mostly thanks to the many handy 'unit counter sheets' that I can send him so he can check himself. Now we are more at the level of which civs counter what civ - I know the answer is very complex, depending on maps, and sometimes civ A is better than civ B in feudal but it shifts in post imp and so on ('it depends'). But still I think that at least for 1v1 Arabia Most civs have some 'hardcounters' that are countering them in at least one stage of the game enough so that e.g. pros would consider it a clear civ win. I was sure I would find it in the wiki in the strategy section of each civ, but it's surprisingly blank for a lot of them. Does anyone know if there are any comprehensive resources for this? Or is anyone willing to help me create a google docs or survey to find out what the most common counterpicks are for each civ?
Cheers and thanks in advance!
