Are the Burgundians actually quite bad? As a noob they look super fun and super powerful.

Here's my line of thinking: * You turn all your food into gold using your unique tech in the Imperial Age. You now have a load of gold and wood for the next step. * You start mass producing Seige Weapons and Knights/Cavaliers from many sources while doing the next step. * You start your research into Flemish Revolution. * Once that's done you just push everything at your opponent and hopefully overwhelm him and win.

What are they going to do against that?
