Napoleonic Era

Post by gibson »

I played a game with cedar, he was Americans and I was Swiss I believe. Is Swiss OP and American shit because I beat him easy and he's probably slightly better then I am. Even though I could only make 23 settlers I had these wagon things that made them for me and I think collected resources too.

Swiss are fucking broken and shouldn't be used competitively.
Other civs are pretty much legit tho.

You should have 2 launchers - normal game and NE. You can''t launch them together but can play them like different games.

Swiss are unbeatable in sup don''t play against them unless it is mirror.

Ah hey there, I just saw there was a new post here and mistakenly considered this to be a new thread, so I started responding to the first messages :uglylol:

Since I already wrote some lengthy answers, I think you'll not mind me to still post them. :mrgreen:

Everyone not responding to any of these things below, please use this topic: viewtopic.php?p=205056

I don't exactly know how balanced NE is,mainly because I didn't get to play it that much, but sometimes I even ask myself why not the whole community has got it installed.

It adds so much variety to the game with so many new Civs that are available.

Does anyone know why it isn't that popular or why the biggest AOE 3 community Forum doesn't care that much about it? :angryapple:

Actually NE is next to WoL one of the most popular AoE3 mods ever (and NE has been popular for longer in total). But the reason why there's not much talk about NE right now is because there hasn't been a NE release for ~2 years by now. That means no release/promo campaigns or other events, because I want and need to focus on the mod. Be sure that, once NE 2.2 is out you'll see it'll be worth again to check who's playing NE or has heard of it. ;)

It's pretty cool and fun, but indeed it's hard to balance a game with 21 unique civs, each one with so many differences and unique bonuses/techs. As much as they try to balance it, NE is even more unbalanced than TAD.

That's is true, and if you read the release notes of the latest NE releases you might have noticed that I have started to take action against these imbalances. NE 2.2 will be the next level for NE in every regard, so also balance.
These obvious imbalances in NE 2.1.7b are one major reason why I have not been promoting or pushing NE after I did notable progress with balance for the next version. It's a bit of a dilemma for me, that I've grown so aware of these imbalances - and already fixed them in my internal version - but can't release these fixes, because so many other aspects of the mod still need critical fixes. But even having said that, I would still regard NE to belong to the (if not the) most balanced mods of all the major theme mods around. Another theme mod like WoL has over 40 civs (!) and the level of differences between their civs are a lot larger than in NE. You could try to balance a mod like that, but if you were to take it seriously I guess you wouldn't be done before 2025. Plus I'm very certain it'd require a series of complete civ overhauls since many imbalances in very unique civs usually stem from mechanic imbalances (meaning the concepts are OP and cannot be fixed like an OP unit with quick number tweaks).
