I just found out that Hand Cannoneers with Bombard Cannons are the best offense ever. I made a army of them and held a siege on a city for like 2 hours. :D they surrendered after I cut off their resource supply for about 1 hour. I guess farms aren't enough to keep a citv running :P

No, I mean Hand Cannonneers and Bombard Cannons (I swear, they're unstoppable in large numbers without some Bombard cannons & scorpians to pick of groups of em.

A good group of palidans and catapults (orangers I think the upgraded ones are call) would wipe out your forces. Palidans to run down the bombard cannons and catapults for the the hand cannoners. In AoC there is always a counter to something.

Well an army of 20 Orangers, 30 hand cannonneers, and 5-10 bombard cannons would wipe them out.

When I attack a Civ I make a fort near, but not too close to their city. Then I mass produce units to hold their city under siege. after about 20 minutes of siege they give up. Usually.

In this siege I always have the three units + Trebuchets in that siege.

There's no counter to my Cataphract SS.

There is now granted it has been a long time since I have played and I always in deathmatches where you start at max age and research but I still remember there is a counter to everything. If they come at you with a palind and archer rush you hit them with pikemen and siege preferably catapults. If they come at yo with a turkish bombard strat which is all bombard towers and thier cannoniers you counter with rams and palidans and cataphracts.

Wait, Rams vs cannonneers? Well I consider a conquistador a cannonneer, and I take out armies of rams quick.

Oh... Well, with bombard towers you hit 'em with bombard cannons. Bombard cannons shoot slightly out of the range of bombard towers. I cleared out a whole city like that.
