vasa torps are good in a pinch

valiant efforts but nobody in charge of anything is ever going to read this

10% good 20% terrible 70% bizarre as usual don't have the energy to get worked up about this stuff anymore it's so predictable

they had 1 good unit last patch and now have 0 good units
don't think even a G build can save them

so what's the point of a 3 week pup if every dogshit change gets pushed through anyway

The severity of the feitorias + hakka nerfs really highlights the lack of vision behind both changes in the first place. Is feitorias a card you want port to be sending first thing 100% of the time or not? What scenario exactly do you want hakkapellits to be trained in? I don't think they had an ans...

sad to see prominent community members engage in anti-community behaviour in response to positive community attempts to commune the community back together in community spirit

this actually works really well because nobody makes units before 8 minutes atm

eggsplanations Port - Everyone always agreed that Port with 3v would be too good and the trickle is basically better than 3v so go figure. Brit - Maps are generally pretty great for them. Still hits age 2 fast despite crate nerf. Wouldn't call them OP because overall balance is close enough. India -...

I've been inspired by lionshart's tackling of the tiers

it absolutely is op lol

cons rush into finding the 15 vills spain snuck to the edge of the map works okay

I can certainly relate to you Kaiser - ever since DE was released I never was even remotely motivated to play the game anymore. I'm pretty sure that without DE aoe3 would have had a better future - maybe fewer players in the short term, but longer-lasting. Also I think many guys from the old times ...

many are saying that nr20 combines the most mechanically and strageically intensive aspects of both game modes

seems like forums got mostly replaced by discord which leaves the only purpose of the forum as a neutral ground for drama between discord cliques, and then official forums now exist too which soak up the vast majority of newcomers

riotcoke had about 9 live coaches and still got 11-0'd by fitzbro so we let these things slide

They're very bad. Shotels are pretty good and get upgraded by vet/guard infantry so there's no reason to ever make these.

I gotta go with ####### personally dunno why anyone would pick ##############

Sadly I don't think anyone has a great idea of how this plays out. These civs have an awkward interaction I guess.

defensive timing vs rank 1 gamer

checked that stove tho

Iro is super versatile so there's a lot of decent ways to play this - If they have a mid-map TP Iro can big button siege it and fortress themselves so just 5v mixed crates. This kinda requires a great start and treasures to be smooth though since you age a bit after the crates hit the floor otherwis...

It is unfortunate, the rework intended to standardise seems to have somehow pigeonholed them into this playstyle even harder.
