Re: the new AoE3

"Semi FF gang" is a meme and of course not everyone always does semi FF, but I'm increasingly starting to think that there is actually a sizable group of people who strongly dislike and try to avoid or nerf anything that isn't a variation of the following: - standard age2 contain, harassm...

Re: is dravidian martial arts a good card

Can I take this topic to ask another question in the same ballpark? What's the point of the Intervention card with Japan? Aren't the Ashi, Nagi and 2FA shipments enough ? Clubs shadowtech, are faster than ashi, have range resist and you get 9 (even 10? I forget) instead of 8 ashi and they're pretty...

Re: is dravidian martial arts a good card

You virtually never send this since other upgrades are more useful but India's age 2 card lineup isn't exactly stacked so you may as well include it.

Re: What's the problem with non-OP cheese?

I'm not sure if the Peru revolt is or isn't OP just because you have to hit industrial without taking too much damage first but the design philosophy of "let's make a unit that counters literally everything" is a bit obnoxious in a game with a traditionally rock-paper-scissors system. Same...

A rec will often display messages from the post-game of the previous game played (before the rec) at its beginning.

Re: The DE generation

It looks like they got together 50 people with a basic understanding of the game, did an hour-long brainstorming session and decided to pack every single proposed idea into the new civ. The term "over-designed" seems apt.

Re: long game

Balance aside it's always been very ugly from a design POV that late-game meta is covering literally every available square inch of map space in walls. They could just have a build limit like outposts do, make it scale with map or w/e. Low priority aspect of the game right now though so doubt it ge...

Re: DE list of issues

Didn't some people here say that ALT+Attack Move is bugged and cannot be disabled? I just tested it and I could disable it without problems! Once I disabled it in the hotkeys menu, I can use ALT+click like I want to, attack move is never used :flowers: Disabling it works, but not completely: Alt-cl...

Re: cant use alt dragbox

[mention]u2123[/mention] why do you expect this to be fixed in the next update? The default hotkeys have been impossible to unbind regardless of what the hotkey menu says since the launch of the game. I think this is that same issue. The alt-right click is a new hotkey though, not the default for f...

Re: Guessing the next patch balance changes

There is no way a HP nerf is enough on its own. The food income from blueberries is still way too good, Sweden can pretty much outboom aggressive civs without leaving their base and with the leather cannon shipment (and probably the unit itself) being overpowered and shipments arriving from torps th...

Re: Hotkey question/problem

Pretty sure this is a bug that'll probably never get fixed. It wasn't like this until a few updates ago; it used to be that double-tapping would snap to the unit/building but tapping twice or more a bit more slowly would cycle through the units/buildings of the same type. Now it will only cycle no m...

Drop tricking: still a thing?

Just had my opponent "resign due to connection loss", presumably losing connection a minute or two before the game actually ended since he was completely afk with his units. Game counted as a loss on my profile. Has anyone else experienced the same?
