Re: AOE3DE Patch for Build 15.30007

Just glancing they either didn't add it to the patch notes, or didn't update the Portuguese Team Wall HP card to increase the base HP like they did with the Chinese card. Not anything huge, just noticed it. The wall changes look good overall. I am a bit curious how it will impact treaty starts. You ...

Re: lion is now being racist on revnak

Fair enough to disagree. Corporate HR sets many of our moral standards and best practices, and I think is a relative comparison myself.

May also be from where I am from since we set most of those standards around the world.

Re: Walls are Underpowered

They are just poorly designed. From HP, cost, pillars, to how they can be placed on top of each other. The whole design is just bad. They can be useless, to completely busted in certain situations or maps. If anything needs a future rework... it's walls. While they are at it they could give the Euro...

Re: Free fort: is it a bug?

Seems like an unintentionally oversight more so than a bug. It'll get reduced next patch/hotfix I would imagine.

15 second cost free forts would be difficult to deal with in any age regardless of how viable the current build order is to achieve this.

Re: About the Chinese player“养老院猛大叔” cheats the fact explanation

Devs should just close the user.con loophole. It's been a source of issues and exploits since legacy. It's been this thing the original devs have allowed (even encouraged), but said some code you can utilize is considered cheating, but other code isn't....

General Walls - Cost increase from 5w to 15w. - Combine pillars as a part of a wall segment 5w for a 5 tile, 1.5k hp blocker has always much too strong.

Set segment cost to 7-8 wood or more. Set pillar cost to 2-3 wood. Increase the HP of pillars, or change how the area damage works when attacking them. Lower fortified wall HP, or make tech age 4. Give all true artillery units an additional bonus vs walls. (Age 2 artillery shadow tech in age3) Build...

I wonder if devs should even be entitled to touch stuff like the 3v card.
Card should have been nerfed (for all civs) back in 2005 to give other age 1 cards a chance.

Re: is the 95 unit limit on unit selection the reason that artillery is so dominant now?

Artillery pack/unpack radius was increased so cannons aren't constantly dancing during fights. Additionally, DE changed Artillery AI to have priority to attack units instead of buildings. I would imagine those two changes give vital milliseconds to micro anti cavalry, without fear of the cannons to ...
