Re: AoE3 Global Championship 2021 - Tournament Rules & Information

Once a civilization or map has been selected in the draft, it is no longer available to be chosen by the other player. does this mean what I think it means? no overlap in civ pools? that seems insane, I feel like that has never been done before. Well this civ rule is gonna fuck over a lot of people...

Re: Tournaments should no longer have civilization rules

It seems that counterpicking is too strong. You can have a civ that's good in 90% of matchups but one bad matchup and you can't choose it as your main civ in tourneys. Brit is always voted as a top civ but in nearly every tourney game I watch it loses to Russia. Instead of no counterpicking I belie...

Re: EP9: XP Alternatives to Trading Posts

Normal TPs don't generate the same amount of XP per TP on every map, it depends heavily on the number of total TPs available. Maybe do the same for native trickle? It's cool to build one native TP, it's cancer to send ATP and spam 4 native TPs.

Re: The underrated case for forts

Raphael, I think you might only be looking at somewhat early uses of the fort. Except for specific strats, the most general usage of a fort is to secure the last hunts and mines on the map near the end of the game. If you can do that, the fort is arguably the single most effective shipment at that ...

Re: diarouga and beef predict EPL Week 4

Actually no. This is pretty consistent with leagues in all the games. The difference is just more glaring cuz 1) Team pool is small, 2) Difference between 5th and 6th spot is huge. Take football for game difference between RM, Barca and bottom teams. There is always chance to outplay but rare. Imag...

Re: diarouga and beef predict EPL Week 4

Real talk, suggestions for league @admins: 1. Teams should be forced to rest their champion against SKG. Nobody knew that Hazza and Somppu were gonna ragequit. This would give SKG more of a chance and make it more fair to teams that already played SKG. 2. Playoffs should be top 4 teams in knockout, ...

You know what would be a cool rule? If any player could sign up, even if you didn't sign up for the original. BUT, the worst teams get priority at drafting free agents.

Re: Does EP German sacrifice too much for their free uhlans?

"dozens of shipments" lol. It's like 5 fortress unit shipments or so. Do I have to explain why reducing the amount of uhlans (or units) is logical since the problem was germany having too many units? Alternatives like xp penalty and uhlan hp are definitely weirder. And how isn't it easier...
