Re: Introducing Rating Modifier to Encourage Civ Diversity

How do you decide if a civ is good or bad though ? A mediocre player with an op civ might get a 50% winrate, while a top player with a bad civ will get 75%. We had this issue on EP, and it's not very fair. Honestly, the best solution is just to balance the game. Yeah but when the game is still goin...

Introducing Rating Modifier to Encourage Civ Diversity

Back in Legacy times the rating system calculated the average civ winning rate on ladder as a modifier. Like if you go lame India, Iro, Turkey etc., you would gain very little PR after winning games. I think it's a good idea to introduce this system back to DE to reward using less OP civs. What do p...

Re: How to deal with chimu runners as Rusia?

The multiplier against 'shock infantry' is shared by pikes and musks etc, so in that sense it's a variation of the 'cavalry' tag.

But more multipliers are hidden: Goons do 2.25 against cav type 'shock infantry', and skirms do 2.0 against goon type (eagle runner knight).

Re: AoEIII:DE Hacker Exposed

Came across him just today. Tried Solution #1, Alt+F4 before the game starts (you can tell by his avatar), but unfortunately sometimes it still affects your rating. Then tried Solution #2 which was to disable the internet once the game starts, and it has worked well so far.

Re: Huadenasaunee Build Assistance

Against aggressive civs like Aztec you will need to age fast to colonial, ship 5v, mass and push out / age up if there's still res. Against Boom civs such as Brits and Japan it's better to do straight FF (5v - 800 res) and go in with kanya+skirms. Tips: if your early eco is good enough due to good t...

There’s actually stats of past tourneys to refer to.

it performs extremely well in mid and low skill games It is just your estimation or assumption. Without stats we cannot say anthing about it.

It's a bit too strong in QS atm (but definitely not the best civ) because of the map pool, but it's really hard to find a good map pool.

Japanese the Best Civ on QS?

I am only talking about top-100 QS plays here, but I strongly suspect that Japanese is one of the best civ on QS at the moment. The map pool now is quite favourable for Japan (low hunt) and their 300w start makes it harder to punish its being greedy in early game. Just curious whether advanced or pr...
