Re: A Focus on 1v1 is why RTS struggles
Nice post [mention]u2[/mention] ! I very much agree with your core point that for RTS to suceed, or continue to survive in future, team support needs significant attention given. It's interesting to look at the people in general that are attracted to types of games. RTS games are known to be hard ge...

Re: Cycling through TCs
I totally disagree. If you make vils with all tcs selected you have to then select each to set gather point and you tend to halt production for tcs to synchronize production, waiting for 300f to que all 3 when you can start queuing the first 2 tcs earlier. Hah this is one of those times where I tho...

Re: Cycling through TCs
While cycling through tc's and spamming vils feels cool to do it's nearly always inferior to selecting all tcs. Can be useful for adjusting around multiple tc's when aging up but otherwise is a waste of apm and time. Would suggest using the mechanics the game offers to your advantage instead of goin...

Re: Changes to old civs

Re: Official Definitive Edition First Impressions Thread
Maybe it's just easier for me to see the things I don't like about it or something, Idk. Probably quite a normal take for those that have been with the game a certain length of time. The improvements seem common sense to us and because of that it's often too easy to not give enough credit where it'...

Re: Case to unban Tit and Kynesie
I'm surprised there was never a proper apology on this, ban would have been over at 1 year mark imo if so.

Re: India vs Russia or azzy
You can watch replays of past ep versions. There is a setting when you launch EP for that. Generally (unless you know what you're doing) I think you should always start with 600w (instead of exp or trickle) and then get your cons + stable from that. Follow it up woth 300exp (get vills if russ is pa...

Re: WoL 1.0.13 is up! Enjoy the Maori
Very nice to see the ESOC maps included as default now.
I see in the notes you mention the WoL campaign? How many levels are in the patch and are there any more to come?

Yeah, I had in mind your game vs GoodSpeed on Gran Chaco (India Mirror) and the one vs Samwise on Arkansas (Germany vs Dutch).

Re: EP9: Church XP Trickle
Honestly it's just a regular deck with the exception that you have Goraksha in age 1 and send it first. Don't get your hopes up though, the chances of getting Araucania, and then getting the correct variant (out of 3) are very slim. I have not seen the numbers but I'm convinced the weighting on the ...

[mention]u7[/mention] with the tp nerfs it should be slightly less animals I guess. Is the tech that makes the field more efficient ever worth it as well?

Re: EP9: Church XP Trickle
The sacred field is already viable, someone will have to correct me, but with 6 cows I believe the xp rate is similar to a tp The point at which the field generates more XP is between 7-8 cows/yaks. As it costs 25% more you need 9-10 cows relative to a 200w TP, though you could argue its better def...

Again, you are kind of missing the point. Maybe I wasn't clear enough.

I think that having free markets (including healthcare and education) is ...
