Yea, NE AI is based on Draugur AI, but already miles away from the default state. Major improvements were carried out by kangcliff. Btw, just to clarify this: the NE AI wouldn't work for TAD due to adjustments made.

I think AoE3 music is both lovely and epic, but I also think that the AoE1+2 OSTs stick out more, they're unique and iconic. The AoE3 soundtrack is basically string and brass orchestra music from the 18th to 20th century with sometimes folk elements (banjo and such). AoE1+2 soundtracks not only have...

Okay, here we go: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CPfOq2WQ1f0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g5unBl25Lao https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LERn5x83qs0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7fOLqE-5oQQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3NHz6t-XLs8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yMROpAX1428 https://www.youtub...

Track selection SO BIASED! Have some other favorites that are not among the presented ones, but from them I voted for Some Of A Kind, Revolootin' and Leisurely Brows.

Hm, I'm in the team, but not in the post. So graphics n stuff are worthless.

"Du yu leik se dschörman brett??" (do you like the German bread??) - absolutely terrific question to ask gnaaaarf

Durokan standardized many of the maps with a resource pattern since resource balance was the biggest concern. I don't know if he shared the maps with anyone else. If there's nothing, I can up them of course for you guys to try. :)

any chance you could retain both the installer and rar in the main post? Some of us much prefer a rar.

Lol, exactly what I was going to say when I saw the setup.exe

I think the self-damage of the trample mode is too much of a deal breaker. Everyone knows about the advantages of splash damage, but like people said already, you're not only giving away half of your dmg (this alone is already sufficient as a drawback) but you also lose HP. So you're basically makin...

I actually prefer that name, autumn tournament sounds awkward somehow. Why would anyone have a reason to call it fail tournament anyway? Exactly my pov, I liked fall tournament better as well. Already had a nice idea for the logo But media team was a bit pussy this time btw, glad you like the logo :)

Same problem as Jerom. Can't read user names anymore. Someone forgot to set a line break?

Okay, hearing your wishes I have setup an Age of Empires 3 only Quiz Up . It has 60 questions so far, so if someone would be willing to help, just send me some ideas for questions. Depending on how good they are (and how much I trust you) I'd make you question editors! @pecelot notification , who's ...

No offense Omar, but I think AoD was better with Huang.

I could indeed start a new one using the AoE3 questions from this quiz as a starting base.

Well, not knowing whether this is true or not, I guess he's just tired? He put tremendous efforts (and had most likely hopes as much) in ESOC becoming the new, popular thing. I suppose he is also a bit disappointed with the result not being quite like what he might have imagined and pursued so inten...

Hey ESOCerz! How do you tell apart a true Age of Empires veteran from an amateur? Right. You ask questions about all games of the Age of Empires franchise! :) Already a while ago I created a grand quiz on QuizUp (free) with 200 questions - some of them with illustrations - on Age of Empires 1, 2, 3 ...

As I said on YT. I'll post here again so that maybe I'll get an answer this time Glad to hear your voices again, guys! You've been missed. A weekly cycle is not a must, but the thing that you deliver matters. I can tell that from my own 10 creative years of AoE3. I have linked your podcast on the NE...

You mean resource exchange shipments? I frankly don't know. Could you name me a few cards that do that? Fur Trade looks alright in code.

Yo guys,

I wrote a new modding report! Everything on upcoming HC changes in NE 2.2:

Modding Report #27 - Homecity trips


What's your favorite update? :) Any ideas or suggestions?

I imagined, but I saw my chance to complain about mods that spam content just for the sake of spamming. Edit: Age of Dynasties looked like a promising mod before Omar took over as new mod leader. Huang/Mr Bean did a much better job. We cooperated a bit and he allowed me to use his stuff in NE, which...

Eeww, that sounds disgusting. Baseless content hype.

So how is 2.2 coming along?? Still got a lot to fix up or do you feel like you're almost there? Hey, just wanted to catch up with this question. I'm almost done with civ and balance updates, especially HCs and adjusted unit rosters. New sounds and graphics are also basically done. Just some new uni...

Well, as a media team, you should operate around other AoE3-related sites, like Twitch and Youtube, which as far as I know you already do, but also something like Reddit, Steam, official AoE forums. Get to werk, Dutchies! Yeah pretty much. Though I am on Twitch, Youtube, Twitter, Steam, here and th...

By the way, maybe you're interested in playing in the NE fun tournament ? More players would be great. I'm bummed this hasn't come to fruition Yea, I know. It missed tilanic organization. Need to do at least a mini tournament like the ESOC invitational, except on NE. I'm sure at least a few dedicat...
