Nerf one thing of Peru revolt

The problem with this revolt is that, if you destroy the town centers or towers at him, they can still have infinite shipments with Bolívar because he is treated like an explorer. I request that Bolívar be sent from the metropolis and that he not be treated like an explorer when it comes to being re...

Re: Balance discussion

[mention]u14718[/mention] please elaborate If we take into account the data of the base dragon 22 x 3 vs heavy cav x 0.8 vs hussar = 52.8 x 7 shots = 370 approx. Considering the hussar's data against the vast majority of ranged infantry units that cost approximately 100 resources, it takes 8 melee ...

Re: Balance discussion

When nerfing the dragoon in EP, we chose a stat (ranged resistance) that is more relevant on higher levels in order to balance the unit there, without affecting it too much on lower levels where it was less of an issue. I'm very glad you guys thought about it this way. When nerfind the uhlan, have ...

Re: Balance discussion

I do not doubt that there are good intentions of many less biased professionals who really want to balance the game, the problem is when the following example occurs (as others may be): I think I remember (and I don't think it's an invention) that the Uhlans, in an ESOC patch, had 180 hp, a correct...

Re: Balance discussion

But I strongly disagree with people like Bramboy who act as if this is a stone-cold fact (unless he has strong evidence). I haven't conducted any peer-reviewed research but anecdotal evidence would be that both SC1 and SC2 - the world's most popular and greatest RTS series - balances based on the h...

Re: Balance discussion

That there is a problem of fluidity of movement of the cavalry (they get stupid and bugged at times) has always been something commented on by many forums. I know that the 180 hp Uhlan has one less hit against hussars and that instead of 23 skirm in one shot, they are somewhat less, but the balance ...

Re: Balance discussion

A good player does not necessarily have to know more about balance than a lower level player as long as the latter has great knowledge of the metagame (although he does not have great skills when applying them) and of the numbers with respect to the resources that the units cost. And my experience ...

Anyone outside of the top 0.1% of the player base is not qualified to participate in balance discussions. I hope the developers realize this too.

Re: Why do Crossbows have 1.25x multiplier vs HI instead of 2x?

Comparing with the chukonu and the cost of the unit, it should have a bonus x1.75 vs HI (or x1.5 as minimum). Maybe is better x1.5. As said above, the chokonu is particularly strong. Therefore it should not be the baseline with which to compare crossbows. True, CKNs are strong, but that doesn't mea...

Re: Rodelero vs Heavy Infantry

Don't you really think that the rodelero's hp (we're not talking about the bonus anymore because it's more than debated) is slightly low? Be honest, it seems a little weak in that regard for the cost. By the way, Spain since the beta of the DE has been suffering from nerfs. There are some examples....
