Re: AI output indistinguishable from drake and the weeknd music

Musk is irrelevant. Yeah, Google seems to be losing to MS. Basically OpenAI is far ahead of everyone and MS partnered with them which was smart. They were feeling that the big tech boom was going bust, so they pushed this with big fanfare to maintain the illusion that the big tech boom is not over....

Re: What's stopping you from playing AoE4?

I'm sure a lot has changed since but design wise I feel like it's just lacking depth. You know how a game will go in the loading screen and the mechanics aren't interesting enough to warrent that imo. Plus the competition is a bit dry. Might try a bit soon anyway though, dont think I ever even play...

Re: Purple War! Fun New Indie RTS! Free Play Test Now!

I always get sad when i see new rts games and they look like copies from 20 year old games but worse. Which makes sense because it's indie, but still, we got no progression in this genre :(

Re: NAC4 - $100,000 Prize Pool

So cool but will this be sustainable? Like wouldn't 5 regular $20,000 tournaments instead like one every couple months, be better than going all in on one tournament? I just don't want to see us have one 100,000 tournament and then be out of sponsorship money from MS for six months. No it wouldn't ...

It's his own money? I'd assume at least some of it is MS It's his own money, none of it is MS. Although MS was initially supposed to sponsor Genesis, they pulled out as [mention]u3476[/mention] says.

Re: Xbox bought blizzard?

Microsoft has been good to the titles they have acquired, they seem to see value in the grassroots community initiatives and I see them supporting things like esports further.
Very positive overall I like it

Re: AOE3 players in AOE4.

that makes sense to me. though honestly, isn't that more due to the fact that delhi and HRE just can't compete with the early game power of english/french? same with china, don't think any civ realistically competes with them late game. those civs are outliers but I feel there may be a way to nudge...

[mention]u184[/mention] From what i have heard, it's a lot map depending (like, the water is heavly imba even without dehli/mongol) and some map like black forest or easly wallable (i don't remember their name) make some MU totaly unfair.

The amount of pro sc2 players constantly whining on stream/twitter is hilarious for how balanced the game is. It's not an aoe thing no ^^. Asked hera about it. He said he'd prefer the game to get more civs and hopes better maps will fix strategy diversity. Personally I don't see it, every map alread...

I heard piroshiki has a aoe4 account as well He plays rus FC with a single scout without prof scouts to be faster, and push with 2 mangos and 12 pikes I feel like this build probably works better with Mongols or Abbasid Used to do this as abbasid early days, don't think it works very well in curren...

Here's to hoping the devs yoink community maps for their map pools when the editor is released. Official blizzard maps were also terrible + most of aoe2's original map pool is unplayable

Re: Official AoE4 First Impressions Thread

I'm not really sure why but I've lost interest in this game already. I think what I would primarily point to is the dominance of artillery in the late game, professional scouts, and civ balance. But more fundamentally I think there is something wrong with late game, which was important to me since ...
