so i summarize, we have a tournament called "ESOC WINTER CHAMPIONSHIP 2024" which is in fact only an event financed by spanky for an age 2 only tournament, it's very nice of spanky really but this is not "ESOC WINTER CHAMPIONSHIP 2024"

so this is an age2 only tourney ?

Other European civs has 3 Hussars shipment ( 600 resources ) in Age 2 while Russia only has 5 Cossack ( 750 resources ). Yes they have 4 Cossack shipment but they are too weak to other cavs

I see we missing a lot of active(ish) good players in this tourney. As someone who is playing and enjoying 1v1 games lately, i would be really happy to see them participate. Most of them probably think that they are just rusty and dont have enough time to get back in shape but i am pretty sure watc...

more no tp maps and less cattle ( cattle is really broken for some civ really... fre for exemple got buff cdb train time faster tp, spain aging with 1 less vill with a tp start lol, germany 16 vills age up lol, otto lol ) and we can think civ like india china and such could be good, on paper yes but...

not going to lie but the map pool is bad for me tbh, its just a pure domination of france otto spain germany here, cattle everywhere, tp everywhere, food treasure everywhere

legacy civs on legacy maps :/ europe maps shame to be missing sadly the maps look awful aswell What don't you like about the maps? There are a few I don't like but they seem fine to me overall. Though I do like the new maps there's no point in a legacy tournament if those game-changing bigbutton/op...

the impression i have is : tournaments ok but legacy only just to try to get the old players to come back, pretty much

The goal with EP was to make a good RTS that you could play fairly and competitively. Everything from the map sets, anti cheat, and balance changes were carefully done. Even the changes I felt were incorrect or more radical which were pushed by Zoi/Godspeed were minor compared to what is happening ...

as if EP was godly, with no defaut and perfect balance with perfect pathing ( recently watched some vids and i felt like it was the same pathing lol )

a 3 range ugprade for a 2.5 ROF musk is not bad card tho really, its quite insane for me in musk vs musk, also ye hakka are not great they just need a bit more atk imo ( tho hakka have many card for them but you don't have the space in deck for it, thats sucks )

You are the biggest "unknown(lvl)" that has ever existed for me in this game. At first I thought you were a fake PR and in the end you were shown that you are a very strong player, and not even time can stop you one of the best currently he's old rank 1 https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachme...

This is coming from a top 8 player so don't call me a breeze minion.

breeze minion

ye quite agree with that, in fact i do not want a ban rules tbh, i'm strictly against the civ reset in the final haha, civ reset on this map pool just mean 2X otto 2x fre prob and port or haud, it's not good for the competition for me and not good either for the viewers, winning the final by using 2...

Some players have many civs in the civ pool, others have less, this is disrespectful to the quality of good games as it takes away their best civs from every player, what is the logic of this shit? It is a competitive tournament not a random tournament. the best player must know how to play every c...

just looking at the map pool for the final its going to be 2X otto and 2X port in fact, civ reset is just bad or ye like mini says, ban is fine

oh no plz no reset...

Very nice guide, thanks. You're probably 1 of if not the best malta player so why do you think it is that malta perform so poorly? I've noticed them bottom of the win rates for several patches now yet they get given token buffs like poison damage culv or +1 range on the sentinel while at the same t...

Organ Gun: Target lock removed.

that seems like a huge nerf, are organs now the only artillery that dont get target lock? You get so much value out of organs if they can lock onto units that are poking in and then retreating.

gatling too
