Is there any counter to this?

What did the devs mean by this

I don't remember the devs being Polish

If the Teuton player is smart and just has them guard their siege then no not really. Mobility and range are their biggest counter but even then they take a fair bit to kill. Teutons get conversion resistance as well so monks are less then ideal though not ineffective. Honestly their high cost is the biggest weakness outside of being the most kiteable thing in the game

any range besides maybe axe throwers and skirmishers
they dont even have to be fast since teutonic knights are the fattest units in the game

longswords beat katanas though

I'm Polish and never seen Teutons as more than your usual autistic germanoid, but this is too much.
Their castles are fucking beautiful, and they were more concerned about trade and slavery than fighting.

Mounted Cavalry with good micro

unless that cavalry is a war elephant, idk man

I meant cavalry archers my bad

samurai

foolish

english longbows

they're slow. just walk away nigga

>this could have been ultima online graphics today if it was successful
look at that beautiful sprite work. dear lord

honestly i think it's a similar situation to Goths -- defeat them before they hit imperial or you are more than likely fucked

micro your units

correct me if i'm wrong, but aoe2 units are 3d models put on a sprite sheet

don't be

exactly

nigga dey all chinese

can't wait to replay the campaigns again in DE

archers, monks, hand cannons, cav archers, mongonels

turtles are superior to teutonic knights because they also have pierce armor

turtles don't have cloaks tho

They're arguably the best defensive civ in the game, so that's apt. But the Knights have low pierce armour and mobility so you can easily fuck them up with horse archers.

CARRIED AGAIN

they have cloaca

>being this upset over a bunch of guys saving vile heathens and heretics and then fucking with the Poles for centuries

it's so jarring seeing aoe3, to go from high quality sprites to early 3d that just doesn't age good at all

Samurai win with equal resources
