Re: Maybe could we see map before picking civ ?

Additionally, it would help to offset possible balance problems and 'broken' civs in case of any future patches

Re: Maybe could we see map before picking civ ?

Why not just give player like 3 bans on his own civ, 3 bans on his opponent's civ and do a random matchup from the leftovers? Plus strict map pool with possibly couple of bans as well. It would promote diversity and create ladder environment, slightly different from the tournament one. All of this c...

Re: A Focus on 1v1 is why RTS struggles

Also, i think this is a good place to share my impression that even developers and QA folks that are responsible for all the new strategies or their remasters seem to be MOBA or MMORPG players. I see it time and time again - new 4K models that are supposed to be beautiful but are just impractical an...

Re: A Focus on 1v1 is why RTS struggles

I overall agree with you, but I think that there's another issue with RTS for the casual players : it's too hard. Even Age of Empires III, which is among the easiest RTS games, is too hard for a casual beginner. He needs to learn how to manage an economy and an army, make different units (ie learn ...

Re: Quick Search

There is a way to circumvent all these problems while keeping QS as only competitive, ranked mode. There should be a pool of civs you select from, pool of civs you ban and strictly selected map pool from which you can also ban few. Honestly, for couple of years now I've been thinking why such system...

Custom hotkeys bug?

Hey, in CC I used to bind my 'find all x type buildings' to numbers 5-8. Now, for some reason, it just doesn't work, even though I made sure there are no overlaps it still shows that the key is overlapping with something and using it just doesn't do anything. It works fine as long as I bind the key ...

Re: What kind of screen for AOE III DE

I mean, it seems ok, I don't have any dissonance after switching to full HD for RTSs, sometimes i even made switches from 24" at my parents' house to 27" and it felt similar. I guess the circumstances when it really matters is when you use too big of a screen with too low resolution for wr...

Re: What kind of screen for AOE III DE

Hey, I actually have both 27" 2560x1440 (144 Hz) and 4K 32" (60Hz), so maybe my opinion can help a little. There are few things with both of these settings that are up to your preference, but what i feel like is: 4K 32" - difference in, let's say, overall comfort is definitely in favo...

Basically what Mitoe said, plus interesting historic setting. Games set in middle ages are far more widespread and common.
