The civ diversity problem would be magnified even more from aoe2 to aoe3 with this mode, can't really do it without further civ changes.

Hello Patrick

Glad we will soon be underway!

Would like to echo the previous comments in that I am hoping for an open bracket event soon. It helps generate interest amongst the up and commers that still have a gap to bridge to the top. All 5 DE events so far have been pretty restricted.

india- toss russ/azz - zerg brit/fre -terran As a Protoss/India main I can confirm these two civs are identical. :P Well ... not identical but there really is something similar about the two, I don't think it's a coincidence I played these the most. Terran is obviously either brit/fre. Zerg is the ...

Thx developers for giving a different colour armband to kanyas and musket riders, so easy to identify them now

Was that from our game yesterday? I'll be honest even I had serious trouble telling them apart and I was playing the civ xD

oh no

ahhhh fuck I think we in trouble

Presumably the aoe3 team is going to be wheeled out of the ESOC retirement home for the match on zimmer frames? It would be nice to see people here do well - and well maybe a couple will, but overall I don't think we can expect there to be many ESOC ppls be super competitve at aoe4 unfortunately (at...

If they picked the opponents up from the street, I'm pretty sure it's more than just a "legend" haha. Hell, even with 30% handicap I'd have to be fucking unlucky to lose to a random guy in the street. I can already tell this is the big blockbuster Netflix series of 2021 - diarouga (with a...

Yesterday I played rdm games. QS found a 2v2 game. Upon loading, I noticed that I would be playing against [mention]u2[/mention] and [mention]u5253[/mention] . This search system is a failure. I am ranked 150 and am assigned to a team with a player ranked 1600. This is not normal I believe. Unfortu...

Haha why did I even bother submitting my 6:08 Not even on this planet. Did not know that island had crates!

What's the Wonder order for an Indian mirror that is a boom-fest urumi war (after the Agra)?? I'm starting to play this dumb civ because of the random civ generator. I feel like you *need* Tower of Victory for the big urumi right click. The mansadbars from the Charminar Gate are really nice, but if...

Would have to consider the options carefully, top guys could potentially screw themselves over if the ranges are not set smartly. Often the difference between rank 1 and rank 15 can be 200 elo (this might even grow further.) You could potentially limit yourself to only matching like 15 other guys (a...

12 x 192 + 2 beastly eles

It's a brit cons (not the traditional consulate rush though) variant I am trying out and it's going well so far!

I'm hoping to update the guide at somepoint, India feels very dynamic now and has a lot of options. Sounds like you are doing the right sort of things [mention]u11815[/mention]. If you want to sepoy rush instead of 10/10 I would do a slower standard age up (continuous training of vils) and build br...

Let's fix the elo boost from treaty/supremacy???

+785 elo in 1 game that I didn't even mean to play!

Damn almost 100 elo above the top treaty players and I'm clueless at this game mode

... the terrible aoe2 focused changes(many of which didnt make it past beta, of which 1 was far worse than even the mining change and would have completely changed/ruined the entire game) ... Tell me more. :P It already bothers me (though it probably shouldn't) they imported the priest convert mech...

well are germans better than the civs in the A tier? I think the uhlan hp that breaks the huss/musk hit counts would make them better than all there (well idk Inca) but guess I can find out. It's just such a huge change thats more helpful in team because you don't need to do 1v1 defense stuff as mu...

Still 9th at best on your list! Am I missing something or can we move them to A tier?

What's with all the low German rankings?

They get back their super efficient age 2 cav vs cav trading and can now train and use uhlans in big fights and they are 10th? That can't be right surely.

Got a PC arriving in approx 2 weeks so can play some DE then and will be playing a lot of India no doubt. :biggrin: Can share some recs then [mention]u10797[/mention] and stream in good quality aswell. [mention]u54[/mention] I think my guide is a little outdated tbh and was even for EP. For instance...

This is going to be one hell of a class action (idk if this is the correct name in english) in the future. I just hope the dev companies will have the money to pay everyone and not have to shut down... Its not, cause you give the game permission to perform file changes when you download it. Not tha...

I think the best solution would be if DE could fix everyone's current grievances through the quicksearch system. Whether they would be commited to do that is rather doubtful in which case ranked team lobbys > crappy QS. In theory though I do believe this is possible. Fixing the elo matchmaking is ob...

Looks like a lifetime away!

Looking forward to the next one in ... 2030 I guess?

Sounds like inters mini ffa scenario he came up with but on a much large scale.
