Next Patch:

Inca: - New shipment (IV): All Inca units turn into Strongholds because Fuck You.

Anyway the unit has insane dps and shoots instantly. Fulani has only 9 attack. Longbow has 17, Lakota archer has 15, Aenna has 12, and even Aztec slinger has 8. Even considering that Fulani fires faster, it still has the lowest DPS among them. And Fulani has 1.5* against heavy infantry. 7 Fulani ca...

Just as the title asks, with AOE4 and lack of viewership/interest in AOE3 in comparison to just a few months ago do you guys see AOE3 reviving again or is just downhill from here? I'd say so. You can't really build a competitive scene when every single DLC or patch seemingly introduced some new bro...

Welcome to DE, where balance is arbitrary and civ design doesn't matter! Let's cram in as many gimmicks as possible into the new civs so that nobody can learn how they truly play! In general, the African civs have a bit of a slow start and time to ramp up. As far as I know, Ethiopia mostly goes for ...

Doesn't matter. Baja California and Central America cost the same. The math doesn't change between the two.

So, it's important to note that going Baja California --> Returning to Mexico is now more expensive than just aging up normally. BC Revolt is 400 F/W/G or 400/.84 + 400/.5 + 400/.6 = ~1942 Villager seconds. Returning to Mexico (IV) is 1250F/W/G or 1250/.84 + 1250/.5 + 1250/.6 = ~6071 VS When combine...

Ye I noticed that, I think it's for balance purposes but might just be a bug. Lower damage makes sense. Regardless it's still a good tech. Considering how busted the rest of Mexico is, and how busted Hausa and Ethiopia (alongside launch Sweden) were, I'm inclined to disagree. I don't think any majo...

Note that soldados have this grenade launcher card which makes them incredibly good at sniping buildings + even better at fighting the units that are supposed to counter them (skirms). This is currently bugged IIRC. The Soldado does ranged damage, not siege damage with the mortar attack, and it has...

Yeah, 500 XP, + Informers + Otto consulate (+8 LOS for all units/buildings) in one age 2 shipment is fair and balanced. Mexico is a perfectly balanced civ with no exploits.

Dravidian is unique in that it's one of the few shipments in the game that affects units on a global level. That is, every single unit that India has access to will receive +15% melee damage (if applicable). So this will affect Urumi, Consulate Hussars/Gendarmes, Villagers, etc. Given how heavily In...

The strategy is to bully the devs into redesigning this garbage civ so that they're not Japan 2.0 (house booming and musk + artillery, how original).

I suppose the logical thing to do would be to define the damage cap in the protoy.xml file but not actually assign an AoE - similar to how Abus Guns have a damage cap defined but no AOE. Therefore, the shipment could enable an AOE (like Aztec WC), and you wouldn't need to assign a damage cap, which ...

JB have 1.75x HI. They also have less HP than Crossbowmen.

Hi all. Quick back story, I got DE when it came out.. My graphics card couldn't run it so I got a refund and went back to TAD.. Last night since I got a new graphics card I tried DE again and it could run really well.. BUT... Few things I did not like: Searching lobby for "ranked" 3v3 mat...

I find that Sweden has a very slow startup, considering how they only have 5 vills and -100 food starting crates compared to launch. Given how important blueberries and Torps are for them (moreso than pretty much any other house booming civ), it's important to get out early pressure and deny them To...

New Army should've been a free fortress age shipment as is, so a 500 food colonial shipment is still far too expensive. I think 300 food would make it far more useful for colonial pressure, extended play.

I'd say realistically, USA, Barbary States, and Ethiopia are the civs we'll see turned into fully playable factions, with maybe Italy. The reason being is that all of the aforementioned civs (besides Italy) are partially completed in some form, with unique units and buildings.

I'd say Aztec, easily. You have to extensively use the firepit/community plaza to get any use out of their civ bonus and start building around it early (whereas the other native civs don't really need to bother with it until fortress age+, unless you're priestess booming as Inca, for some reason). C...

1). China - I hate how they have so many redundant units. Two different pikemen, three different heavy melee cav, and two upgradeable skirmisher units (3/4 if you include Iron Troops and Flamethrowers). As it is, since all of their mainline units shadowtech, it makes their colonial extremely weak, ...

So, had some ideas for China, Sweden, and Azzy. 1). China - I hate how they have so many redundant units. Two different pikemen, three different heavy melee cav, and two upgradeable skirmisher units (3/4 if you include Iron Troops and Flamethrowers). As it is, since all of their mainline units shado...

So, since it seems like the devs have no idea what to do with Sweden now (and they look like they're in the dumpster tier based on VODs by Aussie_Drongo and Mitoe), I'm going to throw my hat into the ring and come up with some ways to rework Sweden into a more cohesive civ, while being more unique (...

I've been talking to dansil92 about it, but what if we turned Rods into melee skirms and Lancers into melee goons? It'd be a bit more historically accurate, and it would give Spain a unique melee "skirm/goon" comp. This would help compensate for the lack of existing skirmisher/dragoon ship...

Not really, the devs have proven that they are extremely incompetent and/or lazy with their two month long record of half-assed broken patches (AI crashes on silk road, villagers gathering resource crates from ally TCs, shift-click unselection bug, etc.). But do you know how I really know they don't...

Leather Cannons have the AbstractGunpowderTrooper tag. Flintlock and PaperCartridge both affect units with the AbstractGunpowderTrooper tag, so yes, they are buffed.

So the major problem with this regular FF build is that you get dumped on by any civ with cannons. I tried this against Sweden, and I lost hard because of Huaraca being absolute trash as anti-artillery, since they: 1). Don't get 50% damage resistance against cannons like Arrow Knights do 2). Have 20...
