Well if it is possible to separate the two then nvm.

The problem with messenger change is that it nerfs aztec fast age to colonial, that's not necessary really.

Fre/Ger also completely skip colonial to me. Even when you send 8bows and defend a bit to then age up, to me that's just a bit more delayed semi FF. It would be cool if those civs could just use the TP to have a tempo advantage in colonial and eventually only age up when it comes to unit upgrades fo...

I can't tell if 10sec difference will be meta changing. However even if we assume so (in the end we want the change to be impactful) it's not necessarily worse. The only thing to adjust is perhaps to give every civ somewhat decent units to compete in colonial. I'm not saying on the same level but at...

200w is pretty shit for russia too. Can't make HD, can't make TP or you will age with 17. Even with 17 TP is fucked because you can't put vills to wood early It's not that great but it's not bad either. With 17v you can totally TP, even tho you have to house first. It changes the way Russia plays t...

In my opinion in tournaments, donators should be respected. And that is same as showing the games live. If someone lags so much that game is unplayable then kick player/the caster out. Anybody is free to play 1v1s outside of tournaments with no lag at all. Honestly I would prefer playing tourneys w...

In 90% of cases the extra random crate(s) don't alter balance to a significant extent. This is because the same crate tends to have the same impact on civs, regardless of the actual use of the crate. 10% exceptions are basically all Dutch cases. And India, and China, and Japan. India benefits from ...

Boneng had a good point even though is worth pointing out that he was sort of representing the Japanese community (or RE community in general) behind all that argument. Bad balance ultimately killed the competitive scene so balance and game activity go in the same direction. As for the number of cha...

Ye mantlets have both artillery and infantry tag so they are basically the most upgradable unit in the game.

Does it even snow in Florida?

Id say iro becuse they have the best cannon and still some siege/support kindn) of artillery in age3. Since they are presented as an artillery civ they also have several cards for it. On the pther hand Japan has very cost efficient and practical artillery while China is also supposed to be proficien...

It is very practical if you have complete control but you can't end the game. Exactly the case vs wall laming.

Trade monopoly is not exactly the answer to bastion but more like to excessive campy style, including wall spam. And no, it's not a irrelevant mechanic. It was prob devs attempt to counterbalance the abusability of certain game features like walls or water. I think before industrial there isn't rea...

Also I meant that all the support units (dog, native scount, envoy, etc.) don't snare.

The rule for no snare is when you have 2 units in age1. I don't think there is much to do with the Sioux WC at the moment.

That's just asking to turn the game back into a giant flowchart of matchup counters. Civs need to be stronger at different stages of the game, but I don't think the gap should be so massive that you're left with civs who must play a specific way or lose. There needs to be room to adapt your build a...

Teepees were a good effort the first time they have been implemented. Keeping eco teepees when everyone wanted them reverted was more like a good joke.
