Of course, but when you play against Port on High Plains with some civs, there's nothing you can do.

Yea, I was advocating for an ATP nerf 2 years ago. Taking the TP line should be a risk because the opponent can contest it. And actually it's a great thing, because it forces the defensive civs to be more active, else you could just wall and wait forever. With ATP you get the TP line for free, and i...

Yeah tbf it would be nice if someone who played the game was behind making changes for once This is a knee-jerk and obvious reaction to the new leadership and I get it but there are also benefits to having someone in the "leadership" role who doesn't play the game on a high level. And I t...

Try looking at it objectively. Would it make sense to you to have an EP leader who is known to be unable to get along with anyone? No, but you can get an EP leader who understands the game and who can get along with everybody, me included. That would be objectively better. Those aren't the only qua...

I did play on every beta but this one.

China should get the cows, then India, then Japan, then the guy who's ready to build a livestock pen. Your reasoning is flawed, if Aztecs has less population, then it means that the 10% boost affects them less than if they had a big army. Anyway, if this also affects eagle warriors, then I'd say tha...

I'm ready to invest time in the EP, and I have invested a lot of time in the past, so this is totally irrelevant for me . No, it's irrelevant for everybody. I invested time to make the EP better, and I'm still ready to invest time to make it better, so you can't say that I can't criticize because I...

Just get mobile and invest the time others do. Its easy to just complain and dont do the effort to understand: Why act people this way? What is the reason behind the change? Do I see things neutral? The free time what people put into esoc is what no one see and the lack of appreciate and prositive ...

I didn't start with it.

The problem is the lack of effort to understand other people's perspectives. Honestly I'm surprised you don't see the issue. If Zoi just suggested some changes, I'd listen to him and see what makes sense, but that's not how it works, he just imposes a list of random changes, and it doesn't matter i...

What I find strange is ppl willingness to change ^everything^ - and when zoom change ^a lot^ - he gets flamed hard for it in a thread that just go on and on. Its really strange Everyone has their own opinion, and it's the only correct one, and the patch changes never reflect their exact opinion. Qu...

It is, because else TP civs would be op on tp maps lol.

Thanks for you advice!

Same.

I agree that 250w TP is an ugly change, but everybody would still take a TP lol. People didn't take TPs on nilla because they weren't aware of how good they were. Actually, even on TAD, people used to skip the TP as France lol.

I don't know. On the other hand, it means that you have to fight for map control, which is good.
It's very hard for Japan and Dutch of course because they are defensive civs, but else it's okay.

I watched the games. The game on Cascade was totally hopeless, but I think aiz could have won the hudson and the florida ones if he didn't troll (better unit composition and better shipments). I noticed that he built the firepit and used to exp dance to get his 3v shipment faster. Is it worth, and w...

I think we should just ignore that troll.

Yea, that's the issue...
Mendocino TPs are shit btw, they're like 3 TPs.

Boom/turtle not the same thing. There used to be a difference on nilla, because the goal of turtling was to hold a rush, while a boom was meant to beat turtle strats while losing to rushes, but this is not true anymore. Today you go for a versatile start, and adapt if you get rushed. Thus, turtle a...
