Introduction:
Well as most people know Vikings rule water maps in 1v1 with
there 25% cheaper docks AND 20% cheaper Galley line but in a team game everybody
gets the Dock bonus......
I wanted to know if there was a good civ that could compare with the Vikings and
I choose to test the Saracens because of the +20% faster firing Galley
line, will the Saracens be able stand up against the Vikings if they have same price
docks, In theory the Viking 20% cheaper galleys should be matched by the
Saracens 20% faster firing ships so I thought I would find out and here are the
results I got:-
The Test:
Because of the Cheaper galleys Vikings get 5 galley's for every 4 the Saracen's do, as shown in the chart below
Resources Spent on Galley's |
|||||||
Wood | Gold | Wood | Gold | Wood | Gold | ||
360 | 120 | 720 | 240 | 1440 | 480 | ||
Boats created with -----> the resources spent-----> |
Vikings | 5 | 10 | 20 | |||
Saracens | 4 | 8 | 16 |
The table below shows the results of the battles fought
with each side spending the SAME amount of resources on boats, it shows the
battles being fought 2 times each:-
1st= letting the boats do what they want and
2nd= Micro managing the boats to attack 1 unit at a time,
Then it shows who won and by how many boats and with how much health was left

Conclusion:
Well I was really shocked when I found out Just how much Vikings Hammer the Saracen Galleys, I personally thought it would be a lot closer than it was
