Future of the ESOC Patch

  • Quote

Post by Mitoe »

Image Hey explorers! We want to give you an update on what the ESOC Patch will look like moving forward.

New Patch Team
Starting with the next iteration of EP we are going to be creating a new patch team to discuss possible balance changes and their pros and cons. We hope that this will speed up the patch process and improve the quality of the initial list of changes, ultimately leading to a better final product with a unified player backing.

The team currently consists of:
Spoiler
If you are interested in joining the team, feel free to send me a private message explaining why you would be a good addition to the team.

As always, community feedback is an important part of the patch process and the new EP team does not replace that. Even if you are not a part of the patch team, you can still be an important part of the patch-making process, and we will be frequently polling the community and involving the community in discussion of potential changes before making any decisions. You can participate in the first wave of discussion topics here!


ESOC Patch Goals

EP's goal involves more than continuing to improve the game in more than just balance, however. ESOC Patch will continue to improve the game's less-relevant features with the goal of pushing them into a conceivably usable state without intruding on game balance. It's important not to get this wrong, so each change in this regard will be handled with great thought and care. More on this in future posts.

To kick things off we'll need a balance poll of course! Check out this thread to participate: viewtopic.php?f=80&t=20538

Probably a question you should ask in the poll thread, but no, you vote on how strong the civ is.

Can we maybe get community polls for individual design changes?

Pretty nice to have an actual team though. That feels more democratic at least.

Sadly the only options are +5% colonial militia hitpoints, and 3 ironclads without the waterflag

Could that be fixed? Why do Otto and Spain get 7000 res revolts, and all other civs are virtually prohibited from revolting?

Imagine an Aztec politician giving 5 warhuts to age 2 and everybody claiming balance...

My first suggestion:

Make Brit manors cost 105 wood. Create a new upgrade Called Faster Archer for the Longbow man, this will increase their shooting animation so that they can feel more like skirms and allow for better micro and hit and run play.

Can I join the team?

I am a lifetime captain who plays twice a week and my only opinion on balance is that japan should be removed from the game. I think I could prove to be very valuable to your team

I'm tempted to write an elaborate explanation of why my France bias and disgust for China or Japan autowin button would provide an essential element to the team.

Rumor has it @Victor_swe has joined the team and that @Mitoe has agreed to give Brit a 3rax card next patch!
