Not using shipments
I think AOE3 and the whole shipment system should be taken out of the game so we can just use skill and to stop abusing the broken shipment system!!

Well it would be a way for balance. AOE2 doesn't have shipments for example.

Re: Not using shipments
Homecity shipments are one of the main features of Age3. Yeah, balance can be a problem in some MU's, but at most skill levels it's not a huge deal.

Re: Not using shipments
Maybe a no-shipment tournament could be played, starvation was succesful so why not?

The main reason Starvation worked was that it was relatively simple for me to remove the hunts from the maps (with Durokan's help). Removing shipments might be more difficult, I imagine the easiest way would be coding a trigger that researches blockade for all players. Either way, someone has to find out how to do it, test it, then make it for a tournament-ready mapset.

also the balance would be dead, some civs rely heavy on their villager/military shipments (germany/spain),
while other civs like russia or ports dont even have them.
imagine germany vs ports, its basically 100f villager + 1 town center VS 80f villager + 2 town centers..
the meta would basically be: dont play half of the civs, since shipments are a part of the balance.
(kinda like starvation, where everybody just ended up playing iro..)
(it would be more interesting to make a tournament without villager/military/ressource crates shipments then anyway if you want more meta,
so the players would send all the special/bonus/upgrade cards..)
EDIT: id still love to see such a tournament, but the civ pool would be a lot smaller due to balance issues..

Just make players to pick a deck without cards, or maybe just one IV useless card if it can't be blank.

You can make a gentlemen's agreement and then check in the recs if one would have any doubts.

Ermmm coulndt be easier, no need to do anything, just dont pick a deck. You can press f6 at anytime to check if the enemy has pickes one, or just watch the rec latter lol.
A small tournament in this settings would be fun, totally imbalanced, but fun to find the viable civs and bos

Re: Not using shipments
No shipments? Too balance 5 me
Re: Not using shipments
It's an interesting idea but I think that one of the things which makes the game so interesting is the shipments.
