can I use this tag? lol may be something to fix (at)Development Team

Congrats, you win the forums for today. Have a token.

As far as what I'm privy to there are no plans to abandon AOE3. Could you quantify abandon? This is probably left best as a personal opinion rather than a formal statement from the staff though.

Also "minegold" A map where you only gather gold is pretty fun Do you have any specifics for that? I can't help with the scenario as that isn't my area of expertise. I'm not big into triggers, so I can really only make regular maps. Maybe could consider learning them at some point, but it...

Hey Durokan! I'm a nr40 player and while DE brought some great new maps for treaty with it (Dakota, Mexico, Ozark etc. etc.) the best and by far most played map for nr40 is and will always be Upper Andes (because of the abundance of natural ress, the big space to build base, the middle TP line but ...

Adding the US sounds rather ridiculous. Should it be added, I expect strong features for late-game. Gatling guns as unique artillery should be straight-forward. An improved colonial milita could also make sense, making the US more difficult to rush. I dont understand, why would it be ridiculous? I ...

in history class one time i heard that they were called the sick man of asia so they're probably an asian civ

i can give it a look if i have time I'm always available to help. If you're interested in reducing the tc spawn radius, it'd be pretty easy to take the current DE maps and implement the change for something like 1v1 only, or possibly up to fourish. So if <= 4 between 0 and 4 meters, else the old di...

i can give it a look if i have time

So I'm just reading aoe data files because I love this game so much.. And I stumbled upon this treasure in the Deccan map file: int happybdaymitoe = rmCreateObjectDef("happybdaymitoe"); if(cAllowViewLock==1){ rmAddObjectDefItem(happybdaymitoe,"Bat", 1, 0); for(x=1; <= 100) { for...

I'm impressed too. I'd not managed to get one anywhere close to that clean when I was making a forest map years ago

DE should always spawn with 4 evenly spaced and balanced whales

Yep, it should be more consistent and fair for 1v1

how does the TR community feel in regards to map support for their community with DE?

Is two maps enough? I tried to look out for you boys with Andes Upper & Incas

I didnt touch the landmasses, but it did receive a resource pass on DE because I really like it. Let me know what you think of that compared to RE

Yeah. You're right. I loaded the game up and it is not clear. I think with the insider info I have I'm pretty sure QS uses the competitive mapset for 1v1. I am not sure if it uses the Team Random set for team QS. I realized shortly after telling people to look at code that not everyone is code liter...

lemmings121 wrote:Why is the map pool a secret... Can someone datamine the info? Do we need a colaborative thread to keep track of the map pool?

I think all the map sets are simple in the RandMaps folder and have the extension .set

Does this feel right? I think if I remember correctly it is just the competitive map set. No non-TP maps. All RE maps on this list have had a resource rebalance. Alaska Andes Upper Araucania Arctic Territories Baja California Borneo Cascade Range Central Plain Colorado Dakota Deccan Fertile Crescent...

Hey glad to hear it. Sounds like I am off the hook

I'll look over it sometime in the next few days, busy with work and lecture at the moment

i dont really understand why that complicates things all that much. you can place objects that require team placement by simply placing them with their 0 value as the playernum value. this can be done in a loop just like the tc. if this is still an issue later i will look at it when i have time to ...

Yeah, there are a few ways to do it. I'd suggest placing the object in the area as dansil suggests. Another thing you could have a separate definition for each mountain you want and just place them at the center of each mountain and allow a variance equal to the radius of it. Once you get that worki...

Boy, I just had the first game in DE and the UI fucking sucks. I play this game since 2005 and I was not able to get a vill production going (who the heck changed the hotkey for TCs to f1???) or notice idle villagers. Also my explorer did not do the task that I told him to do with shift + click. I ...
