I agree with basically all the points you make in the video. Good podcast!
What i’d also like to see is some tidying in the card system. 131 cards can be really confusing for new players, it would be really good if most of the useless/worthless cards were removed.
It made sense back then in 2006 to have weaker cards because with progression you could unlock stronger ones. If grinding actually gets taken away from the DE, a lot of useless cards should also be either scrapped or improved. Just to name a few:
-Age3 town center wagon
-Advanced artillery (1000 res in age4)
-Advanced mill etc etc
-Some native shipments (native lore)
-TEAM cheap outpost/barracks/stable

Ultimately these are only misleading for new players approaching the game. They don’t even really add anything more to the game compared to the standard cards that are already more commonly used.

I like that those cards exist, it gives new players a chance to explore what's on offer strategically and part of learning is figuring out what's good and bad. Also some of these cards could be buffed one day :uglylol:

I would however like to see premade 'starter' decks which have all the stuff you need to jump into a game right away without being at a disadvantage

Something that is quite nice from aoe2, i think zak made it actually, is the ability to have interactive scenarios that show a bo, like there's a fast castle one which teaches it incredibly well.

Not sure that Quick search only rated games would be good for new players who want to play against friends only. Plus smurfing could be even worse of an issue for true low level players who want to rank up and will just be playing superior players in most rated games and never actually go up.

If you want to play against friends, just play unrated.

Not gonna lie, got a semi when I heard you could essentially import and implement AoM god powers into AoE3. Smackdown patch - When age up politicians were replaced by the minor gods!

If you ever wanted to do a not so serious podcast It would be fun to do a podcast based on 'if these god powers were transitioned over to AoE3 how would these affect the game' I could easily talk for an hour on this topic, for example just imagine a 'Son of Osiris' cast onto an Explorer? :P
