Re: 3 Vil Shipment harms Strategy diversity

It's already established yeah. But you can't change this without ruining the balance at this point, and I don't think we need this on DE Who knows. Removing 3vil for some Euro civs in favour of 1 extra starting vil could provide some interesting gameplay results without breaking balance in a drasti...

Re: 3 Vil Shipment harms Strategy diversity

A strategy game doesnt nessecarly get better if you make it more complex. In this case (giving civs too many first shipment options equally strong) imo it obviously would turn into a desaster. Cant call it a strategy anymore if you randomly pick one of your first-shipment-options based on guessing ...

3 Vil Shipment harms Strategy diversity

A little something I noticed. Notice how most newer civs tend to NOT include a 3 vil card in age 1? I thought about it, and recently understood why, as I looked into strats for various civs. Given the immediate economic as well as long-term benefit from extra vils, there are very few cases where one...

Re: Italy & Malta 2 New civs coming May 26th

Honestly, these civ designs look very good. Clear gameplay theme, lots of unique aspects to mess around with, but likely gonna be a few problematic cards that will break them.

1. Build the "Golden Arches" wonder.
2. Destroy all native sites.
3. Trigger Revolt for enemy, so militia become your units.
4. If that fails, blockade all their shipments.

Cause the longer you( or your opponents/ teammates) are in queue the wider the parameters are in terms of who is acceptable to be on your team/ the other team.

Re: Team Ranked makes no sense

It’s not that it’s designed for 1v1, it works well for team if there’s a larger player base. No, it's not searching large enough or needs more informations. Let's give an exemple, if you are top 500, and the qs system search for you from top 300 to top 700 (which would be like 20% elo around, seems...

Picture this. You're a 20sth y.o. Slavic man, enjoying a public holiday. Feel like playing some team games, maybe climb the ladder. Comfortably sitting at 1450 ELO, planning to get past the 1600 mark. Queue up, wait 5 minutes Game 1, teammate is 1000 ELO, opponents premade around 1500. Obviously a l...

[mention]u11190[/mention] From my point of view, I agree with you. That is why I find the civ to be so rewarding. A win makes you work for it, you can't just rush all in like I did with haude, you have to shape your gameplay. But at the same time, when I win with France and it was a fairly matched ...

Re: Learning the French

Best part about France is the fact that they're a jack of all trades, with their CDBs facilitating any strat you wanna go for. Cav semi-FF is one option, alternatively you can try the Pike Xbow rush which is pisseasy to macro and quite efficient if you know what you're doing. In essence, rather than...
