Favorite things about DE

Just some random ones I like in addition to the obvious love for anything from ESOC. What do you guys like about DE so far? 1. ELO system 2. Much better settings 3. Recommended decks and all cards available. 4. Kept options for lots of classic things. 5. New age ups have potential 6. Grenadier rewor...

Re: How was the ESOC team involved in developing DE?

Yes, in short ESOC played a large role. Maps and balance. The new content we didn’t play as much of a role in. We also shared all we know about exploits and other issues that were important to support a healthy community.

Re: TheViper

I think we would have the same reservations about aoe2. Ive played both games extensively and they are both good. Aoe2 has a much bigger scene so they in some way have a standing to be critical. I think we should be as welcoming to folks as possible. This is a new chance to enjoy the game we all lik...

Dutch is in the boring camp as well. It’s basically just make some Huss, get fortress, make a lot of skirms. Add hand cav if you lose the skirm war. If you win it make sure your ryter count is high enough to not get cheesed. China is boring because it’s just ff send shipments and smash armies togeth...

That is a good idea japaneseGeneral. When I first read this I was thinking there are not enough people to even play an unrestricted event, let alone any specialized sub group of players. The problem with this sort of event is enforcement of the rules. We would have to require webcams to be live for ...

Re: noob coaching pro showmatch

There are a few of these with interjection and one with Callen that I did ages ago. It’s less coaching and more in game guiding. I think it helps to see where people might make different decisions or have different awareness.

Re: just get rid of walls...

Walls are way too good even on low HP. You can pay 50 wood to basically say “no mechanics needed until you reach critical mass”. It also allows people to just never learn proper building placement. In this game it’s hard to siege any building because of the poke potential let alone 1500HP for 5 wood...

Yeah walls as designed really hurts the game. I often wondered if walls should not be available until age 4 and just be stone outright.

There was also the streaming with cheat exe on the desktop incident, the custom UIs with commands that caused excessive lag, custom UIs that made unfair things possible like click a button to select unique combos of units not supported by the game out of the box.
