Re: More non-Standard Maps will make EP Better

did you see TSREV maps? Yeah, I quite like most of them. I think they could all be very fun, competitive maps if they were given a nice touch up from a balance and aesthetic standpoint.

Re: More non-Standard Maps will make EP Better

[mention]u72[/mention] It really is a shame how much crap you get. While I do think that some of the non-standard maps that have been released were not 10/10 maps, almost all of them could be made great maps very easily. One could also argue that many of the non-standard maps aren't non-standard eno...

More non-Standard Maps will make EP Better

The EP would be a much more interesting, strategically deep, and enjoyable experience if we re-engineered some existing EP maps to make them less standard and made some new non-standard ones as well. Non-standard maps force players to adapt, creating opportunities for underused and underutilized civ...

Re: EP7 China

Fixed crates would literally fix so many balance issues. Germany would essentially be fixed as a civilization if they got 300f, 100w, 100c start every game. France would be fixed if they got 400f, 100w, 100c start every game. Ports would probably be fixed (w/ 100f vills) if given a 200w start, Brit...

Re: new maps and a league

I really like almost all of these maps! At least on a conceptual level, most of them seem really cool and conducive to fun games, though some are quite "non-standard." I have yet to load them up and see how consistent/balanced they are, but I have high hopes. These maps, to me, represent s...

Re: Any advice on dealing with Japan on a big map as french?

Yeah I think playing it boomy, making a few pikes or musks before aging, then quickly dropping another tc when you reach age 3, maybe a third one as well, and go skirm/cuir/falc and try to assert map control and out-boom him. Preemptively dropping an artillery foundry if you think they're going age ...

Personally, I always thought that the recalculated eco pop graph was nice, but that it didn't offer information that was actually all that important. I'd personally rather see other eco stats in conjunction or in place of recalculated eco pop, like current resources income, total resources gathered,...

Re: Iroquois Discussion Thread

But if they are, then why are we nerfing the units they counter? If they were truly the dominant unit shouldn’t skirms have been nerfed and not goons?

Re: Iroquois Discussion Thread

I have always wondered why, especially with how dominant sepoys and janissaries are/were, why we didn’t buff skirmisher-type units and instead nerfed goons, zambs, jans, and sepoys and other units they countered. Anyone have an answer?

Re: Seminole Thread

Instead of buffing range, why not drastically increase their base siege damage, and then make the guerrilla wars upgrade apply to all archer units, albeit with a smaller effect (maybe 1.5 or 2.0 instead of 3.0). It would further differentiate the unit and make them an interesting option from the ver...

Re: Sioux Redesign ideas.

Rifle riders getting an artillery tag actually sounds kind of interesting and surprisingly logical. For the most part, I agree with Garja and others in that sioux does not need major changes, mostly just to their units (buff/change rifle riders, do something to wakina (maybe 4.5 speed and have wc au...

Re: Best military shipments and other things in age 3

Japan's age 3 shipments are very efficient and most can be sent twice, allowing you a greater diversity of units and eco options in your deck. 9 yumi is 945 resources, 8 ashi is 960, 5 nagi and 5 samurai are 1000 each, and they also have 30% nagi HP (which is probably one of the best age 3 unit upgr...

Re: Scaling mercenaries

I think having them scale would be fun, but I would not make their shadow guard and imp techs full strength (maybe 15/20% and 25/30% instead of normal 30% and 50%).
