Re: Intervention, A New Hope

1. Dutch isn't below average for sure, and I don't think it requires a buff. It is random because you randomly decided that Dutch needed to be buffed without asking top players. 2. Quite sure the top players are split on that, so even if some players request it, it's not a good reason to include it...

makes sense, i am constantly confused too i don't get why dutch need 5 hussar shipment. do they have to have all the best shipments? Same, budy! Off topic it is, then!

Re: Arsenal & advanced arsenal discussion

Does it grant cheaper techs now? For EP7 I opted strictly for the no-brainer option; reducing the cost of the unviable improvements: – "Cavalry Cuirass" improvement cost reduced to 300c (from 100w, 300c) – "Incendiary Grenades" improvement cost reduced to 250w, 250c (from 400w, ...

Re: Intervention, A New Hope

As clearly stated , the sole reason for the miniscule buffs to "British Allies" and "Japanese Isolation" is the circumvention of a big bad bug. It has since been discovered that these changes did not manage to achieve this intended objective. Thankfully, this won't be a problem ...

Re: TC-TP radius rant.

Just buff II in general and nerf III. Fortress is lame anyway. Lets make musk huss great again. +1. 250w tps plz I just polled it. It came in at about 65% opposed. Like I mentioned in my above post, I'm considering trying a less intrusive Trading Post nerf, though. That should be more agreeable to ...

I know this may seem like i'm whining a bit over this, but honestly i don't see why this should be possible. Can we look into reverting it to how it was before as it just seems more balanced.

Arguably EP8, too, unfortunately. As I noted in my previous post, the perspective on that (as it compares to EP7) certainly seems warped, though.

Just give it a few hours.

Re: 190hp sepoy

EP8 changes directly to Indians are literally: 1. Significant buffs to both camel units. 2. Situationally significant buff to the Mahout Lancer; less situationally less significant nerf to the Mahout Lancer. I agree that the numbers warrant tweaking, which I have explained multiple times that I expe...

– Incan Huaminca attack decreased from 15 to 14 By mitigating the pre-existing significant risk of the minor native alliance trickle, this nerf helps faciliate its slight buff. This makes no sense.

Re: ESOC Patch 8.0.0.0 released!

I agree the Huaminca change doesn't really make sense. One's opinion on that particular change seems to depend entirely on whether one considers the unit an acceptable risk to take, as is. The nerf also has the added bonus of balancing rescued warrior treasure rewards. Regardless, it's not a big de...

It takes the fun out of the game, that is not a good change.

Re: ESOC Patch 8.0.0.0 released!

Random idea: could we have nat tps spawn a vill when built instead of xp trickle? (Kind of like a manor) That would guarantee the uniqueness of normal tps while still makin nats viable somewhat. The fundamental flaw of such a change is that it only encourages building the TP; not keeping it (which ...
