thoughts on not being able to pause if one of your units have dealt or recieved damage within the last 10 seconds

Re: PUP June 14 2023

Environmentalism: Tree yield reduced to 400% (from 500%), but now converts the costs of Forest Prowlers and Musket Riders to wood and food. How do y'all feels about this, I think 100 wood for a Musket Rider is evil Not the biggest fan tbh...It doesn't really solve any of Iro's problems and complete...

Re: PUP June 14 2023

Even if some of the changes are questionable, it's nice to see passion still being put into the game imo, even if it's a bit misguided right now. The new explorer and unit skins actually look very well done, and most of the issues with the patch rn seem to be number/balance related. Italy nerfs are ...

Re: Worst Cards in AOE 3 right now - and how would you fix them

#3 is interesting, it used to have an undocumented side effect that the 'Warrior' community plaza unit no longer bled hitpoints, sometimes I ran it on aztecs in teamgames to get 6 additional non-pop units in my army, not sure why they took that effect out. #2 I think should have an additional effect...

Re: who is the most powerful person in aoe3?

definitely inter seeing as how he actually has direct influence over game mechanics and game content now. When you guys flame new DE content, you're basically flaming inter. let that sink in.

Re: What I learned from climbing in team games

I've said it before that I think the original ES devs balanced this game around 3v3 rather than 1v1, it's where you see the more diverse strategies and build orders emerge, you can pull off some interesting stuff that you can't do in 1v1. thanks for sharing!

How do you go about teaching new players how to play?

A few of my friends just got aoe3 DE and I realized after playing our first match vs bots that this game actually has a good amount of complexity to a new player. I noticed this when I saw them using their vils to fight treasure guardians and building mills in age 1. So what are some golden rules yo...

Re: Fully automatic Weapon Systems

This slightly bothered me too, it's one of the reasons why I feel like artillery in aoe4 feels so lackluster and unsatisfying to use. Hey at least on the bright side we're going to have vils operating fishing boats tho with this dlc!

Re: Italy & Malta 2 New civs coming May 26th

Why are these european nats basically just straight upgrades of their normal units? Goes against the whole point of nats ngl. I think they want the nats to be an objective that should be contested like trade routes, cuz now if someone goes nats you really don't care and it's not that big of a deal.

Re: [Multiverse of AOE3]If you were a dev what would you have changed to make D.E. more popular??

I agree with most of your points. The game was created at a time where the devs wanted to compete with World of Warcraft which was popping off, so there were alot of these MMORPG mechanics and they wanted you to treat your civs like their own "characters". The single player experience for ...

Re: Team Ranked makes no sense

Ranked team queue seems to be a coinflip most of the time, as a solo player you'll have a better experience in casual team lobbies, or just doing ranked 1v1s. This probably wouldn't be a problem if the ranked teams queue was more populated but eh stagnant player count is unfortunately something we h...

Spain is really a solid civ so it probably didn't need a rework, but the civ is also a little boring imo with their builds so I'm actually pretty excited for some of these changes, should make for more interesting gameplay. Unction changes are a little weird, personally I was hoping they would find ...

Re: I invite all of you to stop playing AOE3

I always feel so torn as a semi casual player, because I honestly think Aoe3 DE is the best rts experience that you could play in 2021 but that's because the devs balance it for casuals and not super high level play. But as a player that's stayed around Corporal-Master Serg rank for the past 10+ yea...

Re: the new AoE3

I really like the new meta as a viewer. Way more exciting and interesting than EP meta (though some of the age IV stuff started developing on EP, with france china FI's) Longer games going to Age IV more often and utilizing more of the game's content adds a lot more variety. Agree with this. I've b...

The current quality of the game is still terrible. they are still cutting a bunch of content from 2006 ESO (technology isnt there yet, DE might reach 2006 someday), the multiplayer interface is full of buttons and functions that don't even work: looks like some alfa build of a indie game, to be fin...
