Team Random civs for EP!
Team Random civs for EP!
After watching stanleys stream and seeing how unfair ports are in team on the ep. If one team has a port and the other doesnt in a 3v3 for example. It dawned on me that it would be awsome to
implement a Team Random option meaning:
In a 3v3 all choose team random and each team will have the same 3 civs mirrored at random.
This would also be great fun in not knowing your civ before the game. Further, we could make it so in tournaments like they do in age of empires 2 tournaments, players must choose team random in 1v1 and this would also be a mirror at random something to look into for tournaments..
I dont know if all of this is possible but I am positive it would improve this game alot and make it more competitive!
Cheers

Re: Team Random civs for EP!
ye i have no idea why they diddnt implement things like rdm civs or team rdm in the game. Seems like a big oversight to me.

Anything is possible but you have to re code the game. I guess it would take alot of work I hope someone is up to the task.
Re: Team Random civs for EP!
Cool idea, though I am not sure it would be entirely possible. Maybe it could be integrated into the maps themselves using custom triggers and what not. How would the civs be chosen though? What if the player didnt have a homecity for the civ?

Re: Team Random civs for EP!
I think the problem is that in aoe3 you dont just select a civ, but a homecity, and you can have two chinas and no india or watever, and that messes things up....
but yea, I also would like this feature, i've actually played many games with friends using random.org to select civs.
last year we even did a 8 people tournament with random civs, good to test adaptability!

I think using an external program or link to randomize could also be an option here in the case that this really wont be possible.
Playing random really will raise this to the next level. We should all take a page from what they have done with age 2, theres a reason an even older game than this one is still running and with a larger audience, more players and tournaments year round.

Re: Team Random civs for EP!
From what I recall this is possible but it will break the AI (only on EP)
Re: Team Random civs for EP!
really?
we don't care about AI though, do we?

Random civ is a great idea.

Re: Team Random civs for EP!
its more popular because the difference to aoe2 is that civs in aoe2 are much more similar in their BO. in aoe3 you need to learn a new BO if u wanna play a new civ. in aoe2 all civs have the same BO for an archer rush, just one civ has a tiny difference in a Drush (Dark age rush), scout rush and knight rush are just 3 civs who cant do this (natives) and this are already all most common BO's. ofc tiny variations are possible and lategame macro the civs are pretty similar as well.

Re: Team Random civs for EP!
Wut, I was led to believe the idea of selection "random" as your civ was impossible. If it's possible in any way this needs to happen.
Random civ on random maps is my dream ... ! RTS is so much more enjoyable this way, so fresh.

Yeah, as mentioned, perhaps an external feature would be useful to determine random picks, but I guess it'd be pretty awkward to use...

There's already a program that does that.
It's not the same though.
It's just not.

Yeah, I'd imagine there is a program on the Internet that does that, right

Re: Team Random civs for EP!
I think that the best option is that, if someone wants to play ports/jap/OP civ, that another person should play it too and just split. Thats what I do in my 3v3's, and while it is not perfect, it is a good option. For example, I used to like to play sioux a lot, so someone else would play it too and we would split.

How would something like this even work? Would just pick a random HC or would it pick the highest HC for each civ? Would it be a requirement to have an HC for all 14 civs in order to work? I just don't know how to get a good system that works with HCs and I bet that's why it wasn't added originally. Still though, if implemented correctly it would be so fun to play.

Well I think it should pick the highest lvl homecity by default so you know which decks you have and can be prepared.
