You need to understand that revamping Suvorov Reforms in this way has two goals: 1. Making the card no longer broken. 2. Helping Russian infantry in the late-game (not before) – particularly against Dragoons and their clone units. Keep in mind that Halberdiers and Musketeers receive no other card b...

There is an updated version of Draugar AI. I tested it, it performs much better with most civs. You can still rush and defeat him easily, but it is much more competent if you allow him to boom.

Monitor was tweaked in ep, what do you guys think do more naval units need nerfs/buffs?

Revamping Suvorov and decreasing Settler batch cost (or adding a starting crate) are completley unrelated as far as I'm concerned though, since the former only affects the later stages of a game. Here's what I would do with it by the way: – "Suvorov Reforms" home-city shipment now instead...

GameRanger is now supported. To use with GameRanger: 1) Launch GameRanger. 2) Run the ESOC Patch Launcher, and when asked about configuring for GR, select "Yes". 3) Close the launcher. Play on GR as desired. 4) Re-launch the launcher to return the game to normal to allow you to play on ES...

the fact that Germany requires more xp for their shipments means they need a tp, and if you let them keep their tp up, its your fault if you lose. Try playing against somebody and get his tp down, and you will beat him without any problem because he wont have the mass And what happens if they take ...

When can we expect support for these services? I play there sometimes, and would like to spread the word about ep.

Great update!

You should concentrate on Dutch, Spain and Iro that are apparently still unbalanced.

I beg to differ, they still need organ buff and one imp card rotation from age 4 to 3. That way their musks and especially cassas won't be so weak in fortress.

I'm just going to leave this here: I would not nerf Germany. Nor would I nerf any other civilization. I think that the best course of action is to boost the civilizations with underwhelming power and put them on the same level as Germany. I have heard from many top players that Germany and France a...

the 5 uhlans shipment is one of the worst in the game. because it is actually 3 uhlan shipment, and 3 huss>3uhlan, even 3 huss>4uhlan the only good thing for the 3 uhlan shipment is that it get 2 uhan as a bonus for every shipment, so 5 uhlans are better than 3 huss 3 huss dont beat 4 ulans and peo...

Don't know, maybe. Vill batch to 255f is best suggestion I've read here so far.

nah not at all, perhaps 2x8 uhlan in age 3

Minus one uhlan is insignificant nerf. 7 and 8 in age 3 is at least something...

train cav archer in age 2. that would make russia op, strelet ca in age 2 wont be counterable, youre better of revamping suvorvov reforms into a musk combat and/or a strelet speed increase in age 2 to compete age 2 russia vs age 3 french/ger etc Vill batch price reduction is easiest way to buff the...

Which is more or less the same thing. I mean, I see the nuance of what you mean but again I actually meant that the gap between them and other civs is minimal compared to any other imbalance in this game. I'm actually convinced that there is a number of civs that can counter Germans to the point th...

Yes, but in that case almost every other civ has to buffed more or less. In right hands Germany is a beast.

Safest possible nerf would be to reduce uhlan shipments from 5-4, 8-7 and 9-8. I know it doesn't mean much, but it's good starting point. Yeah 5 uhlans is way too op lets nerf it to 2 + 2 uhlans. Best shipment in the game confirmed Sarcasm on the side, Ger evidently needs to be nerfed. Winter tourn...

Well and the patch apperantly doesnt warrant the effort for many people. I mean Im lazy but if theres a hot girl waiting for me upstairs Im certainly not too lazy to walk up those stairs you know. One more problem is that people generally don't like/are afraid of changes. It AOE III case it is expe...

I mean becuase regardless of what age its in no-one higher ranked than sergeant would ever send it (except aiz when he is trolling) +1 Useless card, even in age 1. There are far better options if one plans to send two cards in age one, like distributivism or virginia company. not that. you send exp...

Then simply send virginia company or distributivisim.

Can the brits explorer get moved to discovery age instead of colonial age. It sucks very much to try new things with brits if they have their explroer in age 2, while other civs have it in age 1. Also, in nilla 1.0 brits had their explorer card in age 1, so why change it to age 2. They are not goin...

allow Spain to be build more dogs Or reduce train time. One of concerns with war dogs buff is that Spain's explorer will be even more effective in treasure collecting/scouting. For lower price almost everybody will build one more dog at start, and with 2 dogs you can easily collect most heavily gua...
