Re: Favorite ESOC maps?

Tough choice, for one I like Arkansas for being so standard. That's usually my go to map, just to really get a feeling for match ups, and many other standard maps are pretty good (manchuria, kamchatka to name two). I've also grown to absolutely, with passion, detest any sort of TP line, even three ...

Yeah i know these threads are pretty common, but I wanted to see how the community has received the new maps.

Simple question. What are your favorite ESOC Maps? Mine are Kamchatka, Adirondacks and High Plains.

Crossbow range still cant go unnoticed, because it is really easy for xbows to kite away from musks.

Re: map issues

Maps are not perfect but they are miles better in design than old maps. I don't think mAps is an area of improvement for ESOC tbh. That may be true, but it would probably take Garja, Rikkikipu, or Durokan a few hours to fix the blaring mistakes in Arkansas, Klondike and Cascade. What glaring mistak...

Re: Japan related Tip

Giving cows to japan is actually a good thing, because it allows for them to make safe shrines that dont use allied hunts. After you have placed all of your shrines that you can in the enemy zone, taking up allied hunts to place safe ones is really bad. If you have say, three safe shrines that dont ...

Re: what's the more lame in late game team games ?

I still don't think the training time is more problematic that the fact that they get a free +18% upgrade once you upgrade them to imperial. That is true, but if you make them scale off of colonial stats, I do believe that their imperial hand attack would be 50 as apposed to 57, and their HP would ...

I just played three team games today that were all decided by Cuir Spam. Pls nerf Cuirs late game. Make thoroughbreds make them train longer, and make them scale off of colonial stats.

I dont want the UI maps. I was looking for the scaling non-obs maps. The maps are in the RMF folder for your install directory, they are not in the local directory.

I love the Esoc patch and all its maps, but there is next to no one playing sub PR 28 games on EP, so Its hard for me to find any.

Seven Lucky Gods?

Seven Lucky Gods is a Japanese Shipment that enables them to produce XP, and also boosts build XP. This card always makes it into my 3v3 decks and sees fairly frequent use. Each shrine produces XP, with 4 animals, slightly slower than a Warrior priest on a fire pit, but you can build twice as many s...
