Put Eaglemut on a poll vs Garja and I will happily vote for the 'mutt.

Still haven't had a chance to play vs them, but it seems like Ports might finally have a good matchup. FI into rangefinding mortars would completely invalidate Inca.

What about balance changes ? Are they good ? Are ports fun to play ? Is Japan not lame ? Does Germany moesbar ? What about China death ball ? It's basically EP9 maybe beta 3 or smth I'd say with things like grens, different ageup options, new civs etc it's more like ep9 and WoL had a baby. Haven't ...

Maybe it's just easier for me to see the things I don't like about it or something, Idk. Probably quite a normal take for those that have been with the game a certain length of time. The improvements seem common sense to us and because of that it's often too easy to not give enough credit where it'...

Not sure I like that the only way to play "ranked" team is through qs (even though it looks bugged atm). I think that'll die very quickly. I kind of always liked that every game was ranked and that people playing unranked 1v1 is a bit of a scourge. But that's just from watching streams. q...

I think moving to only QS is in the right direction, but QS needs to be high quality for that to make sense. IMO, moving to a system a little more like LoL, where you load into a lobby upon finding an opponent with a set map, and then you blind pick civs before greening up, would be an improvement....

Idk i'm still staring at a download bar. RIP.

Zoi would have been good for DE. The problem was that he wasn't in charge of DE, he was in charge of an opt-in fan balance patch that existed solely so people could play a slightly more balanced version of their game on better maps.

I'm pretty much where I plateaued at after joining ESOC, 2nd Lieut. Summer of 2016 I was probably 1st Lieut to low captain level but I was playing almost all unrated games at the time, mostly with sir_musket. In reflection I'm not nearly as serious a gamer as I thought I was. I thought I was putting...

Interested to hear what alternative suggestions to the coin mining mechanic in the videos users on ESOC might have. For these two nat civs, surely any method of retrieving coin that has zero interaction with mines on the map would have negative effects on balance? I don't think having to interact w...

You can turn off the screen shake on destruction.

Marketplace seems to work like a coin mine. The player starts with a free one, then has to build next ones for 25w each in a direct proximity to coin mines, and gather from the marketplaces like other civs would from the mines themselves. What is weird, is that when sioux gather from marketplaces, ...

I still don't understand why we have 2 new civs, both with a house/eco bonus. Don't we have enough "eco house" civs already? I don't mean to be a negative nancy, but these civ bonuses do seem a bit disappointing. I hope you like disappointment then, because I think you might have some mor...

5 Cav semi-FFs (or 5-10 musk, pike etc) are basically anti-meta builds. They're not useful unless you understand their purpose. The two "default" builds are colonial rush/timing or FF; the idea being that each civ powerspikes differently, and you want to get to your powerspikes ASAP. Ie. B...

Fre v Brit Fre v Dutch Fre v German Fre v Iro China v Brit German v India China mirror Dutch mirror Japan mirror German mirror There are more that I can’t think of in the 5 minutes on my break here, but I think for me the only civ that truly has only boring matchups is Aztec. They’re just so dull a...

Tbh I'm glad the conversion ability is gone. It was a pure map/treasure RNG based mechanic and varied in strength widely vs different civs, making it hard to balance. The native explorers are already quite strong and scale much better than Euro and even Asian explorers (with the possible exception ...

Yes. Rx 5700xt with a 3600x should handle it just fine.

I never have more tabs open than I'm actually using, and I close my browser completely/turn off my PC after every use. Am I a monster? Completely turning off pc is a good thing. Its good that you do it after every time but with current gen pc's it isn't really necessary. Although turning off at lea...
