I agree with wall nerfs, it has always felt unfun to play with or against wall spamming, which I think is the main reason it doesn't see more use since walls are very strong

Re: 3v3 Tournament Hosted by RøyaL Clan
As a participant in the tourney I'm glad the result is in the open rather than just rumors, even if the result was controversial. FWIW, I agree with don_artie here about the outcome. I know that we had to reschedule a few of the games due to one player not being able to make it, though no case was q...

Re: People who quit the game/took a break, why did you do so?
I haven't quit DE (yet) but for me it will be when I think it's too hard to find high quality 3v3 team games (it's the same reason I quit playing TAD / vanilla 12 years ago). I can see it happening at some point, matchmaking is usually useless at finding random teammates to create fair teams (at lea...

Re: 3v3 Tournament Hosted by RøyaL Clan
The team elo implementation used by DE is actually terrible, it doesn't seem to take in to account the rating of your team mates so it inflates the rating of lower rated players teaming with higher rated teammates and is easily abused with premade teams, which seems to have tricked some of the capta...

Re: Old Players returning speculation thread
I played a bit and it has been nice to see the game relatively active at the higher level team games in Americas time zone, since difficulty in finding games was one reason why I left. That being said I already took a break from the game due to bugs & the multiplayer experience feels half-assed....

Re: Expert Team Insight
I'm mostly assuming your talking 3v3 and I've played lots of 3x3 random so this is based on my experience there... 1) Having no hussar equivalent means your team is vulnerable to early raids so you should come up with a way to deal with it. Your options depend on how aggressive you want to be, one o...

Re: From major to brigadier: How to improve at higher levels?
My best advice is to get a smurf account and only play people major or lower with less then 25 HC. If you can keep up the winrate you get your big PR :)

For team there is the classic pike rush where you gather no gold before clicking to age 2 and make all the vills you can from starting crates and treasures, ship 3 vills, age 400 wood, ship 8 pikes, build rax + spam pikes with only 3 vills on coin for new vills. You basically have to take them out a...

IIRC the FP had it's own set of issues running on people's computers right when it is released, and it is more or less an expected part of developing new software, especially when doing something new (I doubt H20 or musketeer have done anything exactly like this before) I'm sure they will figure out...
