How about we just create an entirely new game That would be too much effort imo. The best thing to do in my opinion would be to create something like a "reduced version" of AOE3 DE. Reduce complexity and several things that break the game and are not necessary for haveing a good and balan...

solution to what, exactly? every deck in the game sending the same first card As far as i understood so far, you think the game (AOE3) is too good and you want to solve that problem (aka make it worse). And the solution shall be to make more age I shipments equally strong to make them viable for sh...

A strategy game doesnt nessecarly get better if you make it more complex. In this case (giving civs too many first shipment options equally strong) imo it obviously would turn into a desaster. Cant call it a strategy anymore if you randomly pick one of your first-shipment-options based on guessing w...

This is the new attempt to make the game better.

Been playing Hausa for a while. I think its a both african civs are the D grade, probably needs buff. Briefly compare 3 Lifidi Knights (Age II) with 2 Cuirassiers (Age III) (both cost about the same and same popspace): 3 Lifidi Knights: Cost: 270 F, 330 G. Total: 600 res, about 50 percent of which ...

Honestly the only difficulty that I found out playing Spain is that they use a lot of different types of units and sometimes there are a lot of control groups that you might have to deal with it. For example, if I age up with 8 xbow, I don't want to mix them with skirmishers because of the differen...

Well it would slow it down a little bit. You have to consider how gathering times stack, meaning every single of those manors will add delay compared to now. We already had this change over the course of EP balance, and it did a good job iirc. The manors build as fast as they do now. It just means ...

In my opinion if Sir Callen suggests the OP to gain more elo, it also would have been good if he told him how he could do that.

Interestingly, this means that (for generic civ) you can make the linear approximation that the k-th shipment costs k*100 Xp, for k = 5, ..., 9

shimpent no, approx cost:
5, 500
6, 600
7, 700
8, 800
9, 900

Richard you're such a whiny fucking shill for bot Russia it's insane. I think it s a good change, but it doesnt buff their rush like squamiger said. I proposed 17 Vill age up. I dont quite understand your post now tbh. It doesnt make any sense what you say because it is not related to what I said. ...

since i haven't seen a thread on it yet: https://www.ageofempires.com/news/aoe3de-update-38254/ what do people think about the changes to the current civs? Swedes get nerfed, but also get dominions back in age 2. Japan shrines and yabus nerfed. Ports nerfed, monitor dmg to artillery nerfed, CM nerf...

If 4 Mameluke Shipment is too weak, maybe it could be changed to 5 Mams for 1250G.

It is no longer an issue. You apologized and said you wont use machine gun again. Just trying to pin my point of view ^ I understand you were pissed because someone pointed you even if you thought you did something legal (maybe it even is, nobody knows). But i think it is better for now to leave it...

I still dont understand why they decided to add two new civs into the game instead of focussing on first getting the things right which already existed in the game. Now the developers again complicated things. People just never seem to understand that it is better to have simple systems in which eve...

Janissaries nerfed in hp, now cost 90f 25c. 5 Shipping Janis I see it quite devalued (575 resources), I think it should be raised to 6 (690 resources). Maybe it should be changed to "Ship 5 Old Janissaries", which have the former amount of hp. I dont think that it is good to increase the ...

That sounds like you have to use their speed if you want to use their potential.

They cost more because they have more speed than normal skirmishers. Therefore, if you divide stats by cost, you get worse values than for normal skirmishers (because the speed is not included in that calculation). -> Cassador is viable as normal skirmishers are.

hi,

i got the same result. I copy-pasted all names and spun the wheel and got martin as winner.

Did the aztec wall dance get nerfed on ep? It's so fucking dumb Walls are too cheap. You need like 1000 res worth of units hammering on it for like 1 minute to get a piece of wall down which costs 5 wood. If your opponent can kill one of your units during this process you got a deficit. So it is be...

Yes, it is possible.

It s a ridiculous answer in my opinion.

The problem is if you age up at a decent time you cant really afford unit ups and to make units Depends, it's close. You have to play defensively in early age III vs the other semi FF civs but since Russia has 2 falcs there is that 1-2 minute window where things are just slow and you have time to c...
