Or because it requires you to basically hack the game?
Re: ALT + D
The skill argument makes no sense to me, and there ARE drawbacks to it.
Also, the fact that it is not allowed in tournaments shouldn't have any implications for normal casual games.

Re: ALT + D
Is it cheat if I put back a chess piece on the board after its been beaten? Does it make a difference if my opponent sees it and could also do it? Chess has explicit rules while aoe3 does not, so your comparison is faulty. My question was rather about the fact that just because both can do it, is i...
Re: ALT + D
lol, this discussion again? I thought it was already clear to everyone that it is possible to abuse the bug to get unfair advantages in a game. Well I guess it is not. Examples: building tps with no VS lost; building shrines; building tc without the ransom alert before the explorer would be able to...

Re: smurfs are ruining the game
Just because you all don't have smurf accounts at that level doesn't mean that others don't. I know of several people who are pr25+ who get on pr20- accounts. These accounts are shared and these people get on them when either they want to play, but there are no games at their level, or if they just...

Re: Teaching Robo AOE3
The two most crucial basic mechanics are the old videos by parfait on treasure creeping and the early game video by mr milo. Those two videos should basically single handedly seal up the early game and how to play it.
Re: ALT + D
some explorers are worth much more than others ^this I dont know how often alt-d would actually completely change a particular game, they revive with no los no hp and generally it is done by people who are losing anyway. I think its just extremely unsportsmanlike but calling it cheating is a stretc...
Re: ALT + D
a) A bug is not per definition a cheat. This is actually a fact, if you care to look it up. b) Saying that "alt-d breaks balance is a fact" is beyond ridiculous. It affects balance, but it doesn't break it in any regard. Even the argument that some civs have better explorers is pure nonsen...
Re: ALT + D
It is considered to be a cheat, although it is debatable. Or at least, it should be debatable but unfortunately isn't in this community. How is it not debatable? Is it because the vast majority of players agree it's a cheat? That doesn't stop anyone from debating it; it just makes them look more or...

Re: EP 6.0.x Beta [2019-02-02]
China monk change is such a huge nerf. Useless banner army change does nothing to offset it. It is a huge nerf, to the unit. As for your second statement, I'm inclined to agree – although you'd be surprised how many seem not to be. Also, please keep in mind the compensation, as well as the Exiled P...

Goodspeed and zoi crunching the numbers to turn aoe3 in a mathematical beauty where every unit is just the same except with a different skin.
Tbh for aoe3DE we can just release only france and then instead of other civs just offer skin packages. That should give ms some serious income.

Re: Why do people complain about maps with many natural obstables?
I think it has something to do with the fact that "bad pathing" is not something people like to plan their game around. It is hard to play around something unpredictable. There is no obvious consistency to bad pathing. Well I would say just assume it's going to be bad, and so just play th...

Surely intelligence must be quantifiable. An IQ test is probably not a great way of doing so.

Re: Spahis deserve better
Spahis are cool but unfortunately not used a lot. They autoupgrade though so they're still cool for FI. The splash damage makes them massacre heavy infantry, even though those are supposed to counter them.

Re: SC2 Deepmind Demonstration
Did you know deepmind claimed the bot won due to superior strategical decision making? I think that is what part of the outrage is about. These results suggest that AlphaStar’s success against MaNa and TLO was in fact due to superior macro and micro-strategic decision-making, rather than superior cl...

Re: What is more important: IQ or mechanics?
jesus christ stop being a douchebag. I know what correlation is and it works for the 2 considered variables. I couldnt care less if I made a mistake in the definition of correlation. What matters here is that there is a tendency for better players to have a higher iq and for high iq people to perfo...

Its amazing. You say you understand what correlation means yet you also say things you wouldn't say if you knew what correlation meant. Your mental gymnastics that you perform to preserve your own flawed perception of yourself never cease to amaze me.

Re: Diamond market
Just because our society is currently build on having some authenticity for some things doesn't mean we should let it affect our judgement. If a diamond looks the same, it is the same. We dont discriminate between hydrogen atoms either, do we? Theres no point in discriminating between things that ar...

Re: Diamond market
When you can't tell the difference, there is no difference. If that's the case, then it's like putting some arbitrary label on one product and advertising that heavily while having a secondary unadvertised brand. This sort of works for food too. We're willing to pay more for a known brand than for a...

As said there is a correlation between iq score and ability in sports an games.
Do you actually understand the word 'correlation'?
