There's already a program that does that.

It's not the same though.

It's just not.

Wut, I was led to believe the idea of selection "random" as your civ was impossible. If it's possible in any way this needs to happen.

Random civ on random maps is my dream ... ! RTS is so much more enjoyable this way, so fresh.

Just an FYI we should only allow English on this forum. American is a horrible language!

German should clearly start with the 100xp crate. (Yes that's a thing.)

Lol that's not a fish, it's just a side on shot of Britney Spears. Kings a fan.

There's not a 20%+ food in age 1 is there? Is there?!?

Its always the same in these kinds of threads that everyone jumps on the strategy bandwagon. All the top players say its strategy/decision because that implies they have out thought their opponent, hence they must be really super duper smart. Way cooler than just having fast fingers. At the end of t...

Best part was in g2 when we both tunnel visioned on trying to kill as many vills as possible without realising we were both losing lots of vills xD It's my raiding principle ...

Ye but that game was over at like 5 min as h20 was on top of acers explorers that game. I think he had picked up a native guardian treasure that prevented acer from sending his already damaged explorers out. It was also on Patagonia with middle lake so h20 walled off the left side before 5 min so ac...

The civ you play doesn't make much difference. What matters is the homecity level and the level of your opponent. Pr takes a while to update on simple elo ladders but should update pretty fast on eso. Yeah I mentioned it incomplete what matters is civ+hclevel+pr against you are playing. #amiright A...

It's pretty hard to find a decent thread when you have a lot of posts and have achieved a high forum rank ...

I cant totally understand why people don't want to wait for a good thread when they can just get on their smurf and start shit posting in one of the lesser threads ...

You could argue though that china always get the food + wood start, so it's only fair the enemy does too. why would u argue that... does the same apply to otto and india because they always have 3 crates? you could just as easily argue that china is missing 1 crate. I said you could argue that.

Well I think civs like Germany and French would get a coin or food start as Diarouga said on his first post.

Fucking crates.

Some1 has the full original start list? I know france starts 300f + 100w + random china has fixed crates with 200f 300w Random can be: Food + Nothing Food + Gold Food + Wood Gold + Nothing Gold + Food Gold + Wood Wood + Nothing Wood + Food Wood + Gold So you will have lot of work to fix all civs i ...

You can nerf tp xp or nerf civs that use tps well, its not that much of a difference really.

Eh? The whole point of this is to make civs more balanced on all maps. Atm there is a huge difference between Germany/France/Port with and without a TP.

Mitoe wrote:Slowing the travois would not be a good change. This could potentially make the first pass issue even worse

Yea I agree, doesn't really help at all.

The only problem with this is that it becomes a non-option for civs that don't really rely on TPs but may like to mix them in later in the game to boost their xp income. Is the problem TPs in general or only TPs grabbed at the start of the game? XP greatly decreases in value as the game goes on aft...

Except that it's unavoidable that different types of civs are better on different types of maps...

Doesn't mean you can't try ...

Perfect balance is unachievable when civs have different units/buildings/mechanics, but ofc we still try to make it balanced ...

Yea other changes would come into effect. The idea is really to create a basis where better balanced can be achieved. Atm Germany can only be "balanced" on half the maps for example. I don't agree with the argument that some maps should suit civs better than others, that just seems lazy. I...

I propose we reduce the amount of xp TP's generate each pass by a small amount (e.g 10% or 15%). Do you think this is a good idea or not? I think this would help create a better basis to balance the game and here's why ... i) Many civs have a significant difference in their strength based on whether...

WoL and NE mods clearly show the community is more than capable of making the creative new content you'd expect from a "DLC" (Expansion) ... If ESOC were to take a say three of their civs themed together and balance them, combined with relevant maps and hosted on the patch there's honestly...

I can't wait to veto Arkansas.

If TP's had a slight xp nerf then there would be much less of an issue.
