Honestly I fail to see how +100 xp in colonial and +100xp in fortress is going to suddenly make Ports OP on standard maps (water maps are a different problem obviously).

idk imagine a ff at 6min 30 having received a 100xp + with another 100xp shortly after your age 3, but is not strong i guess because port is not op on land, its what everyone gonna said, but it is precisely the fault......

They just further stretch the difference between Skull Knight and Maceman. :sad: :sad: :sad:
At least Warrior Priest is once again unique with its gather rate.

I just hope DE is not going to implement all of the EP changes. Right now it is a big clusterfuck.

That's a big buff to Ports for sure. Maybe they can nerf their water. but it's a nice buff to boomy options. could be good. maybe make it 70xp

The TC thing is like 2 more xp passages on a map like high plains (actually a bit more now that TPs are nerfed). It's quite a huge buff.
The main problem is that the win rates don't match civ strenghts at the moment. Port is by no mean the weakest civ. It's pretty much on the same level of other semi FF civs.
Then again building wagons do usually provide an xp bounty so it's fine in some regard. It makes more sense than the nonsense 5% food gathering boost.

The change to vills to gather resources in LOS is not good.
Now vills go hunt dead animals even if they're not the closest animal. It's both less efficient resource wise and risky if the dead animal is exposed (happens rather frequently when you bring hunts from far away).

They implemented my idea of giving the aztec war chief an area attack, shame its not the standard swashbuckler, though that might make him too strong age 2 I guess.

No china buff, one day....

So, if I don't have an xbox live account (I use steam), I can't keep any of the avatars unlocked during the special event, am I understanding this correctly? Do I have to make an account, and is there any way to link it to my game on steam?

Yes. In fact, I believe you cannot even unlock them.

Don't think so, but the game should remember it, so it's not like you have to manually log in every time.

Yes, if you want to link it with your account, just login with your details (make a microsoft account, enable the gaming portion of it (xbox live) and when the game asks for your permission to gather your stats (when logging into the microsoft account) allow everything).
Oh wait, the green portion is only for forums and online services. They need the permission. Games don't, you just login while ingame and it is automatically linked.
EAGLEMUT wrote:]Don't think so, but the game should remember it, so it's not like you have to manually log in every time.
Every time I log in, I have to manually click on the top right "Log in" button so it automatically logs me in without having to type anything. Sometimes when I wait in the main menu, it logs me in too, without clicking. Weird stuff.
So it saves the login credentials (until you log out and clear them), but I have to manually log in with aoe3 almost all the time. With Aoe2:DE, I don't have to do this.

Using Steam for the game and Xbox Live to login both go hand in hand flawlessly. It works the same in Aoe2:DE and I could keep all my unlocked stuff so far :smile:

Rather, it is surprising that the efficiency of early cancha has increased and that there is no change in Japan.

Do they have no interest in the controversy over the resource-generating building?

For anyone who thinks the port buff is small, consider that 100xp is aprox what you get in 2 minutes from a tp.

Having this new 100xp at 5 mins +100xp at 8, is equivalent to having a free tp in transition to colonial(4mins) and it getting destroyed at early fortress(8mins).

They're pretty proud of the "don't worry, my house will gather it" design.

Idk from the notes it seems they nerfed the age 2 builds and buffed age 3 builds (even then the cannon big button is moved to age 4) so they want to push for bolas warrior builds
