Poll: Crate gathering in batches
Poll: Crate gathering in batches
Looking for some feedback on crate gathering. In the current / RE state, crates are gathered up by big batches of resources at a time (20 for standard villagers). Cancelling the gathering animation potentially results in wasted time without obtaining any resources — if the villager was halfway done gathering up a 20-resource batch, for example.
How do you feel about this behavior? Is it just annoying that you cannot cancel crate gathering effectively? Is it an integral part of the game that crates work this way?

I don’t really care too much either way, but something that potentially comes to mind is that it might favour the defender to make this change. As you will be able to gather the resources needed from the crates for minutemen or aging etc. more easily by just popping out of the TC for a second or two without risking too much.

Re: Poll: Crate gathering in batches
I'm not a top player and therefore my opinion is irrelevant - but I agree with Mitoe. Changing the way crates are gathered has a huge influence on the defender's side of the rush and will weaken certain civs that rely on pressure, such as Russia. I would not change these things.

It wouldn't be a big nerf to rushes tbh.

Re: Poll: Crate gathering in batches
Actually, I've brought it up because it complicates things a bit with the gathering bug fix, and it seemed to me like it could be a good change anyway.
Regardless, it doesn't seem to have much support and the original behavior should be possible to preserve with a little workaround.

Re: Poll: Crate gathering in batches
I think microing crates is a skill and having this change would make it way easier. So I dislike it. Plus it's true it would make it too easy to gather crates under tc while pressured.

Can you quickly explain what the gathering bug is?

I could imagine it being when you are in a mirror and you get your rax faster or tp faster based on pure chance of a rounding error
mad cuz bad

Basically sometimes 1 or more of your vills gathers twice as fast until retasked.
That's the dummy answer anyway. Kevsoft or Eaglemut could provide a more precise answer that would also probably be more confusing.
Re: Poll: Crate gathering in batches
I dont think the gathering bug is confirmed yet. As far as I am aware they werent even able to reproduce it in a multiplayer environment.

I think you are referring to the one guy's YouTube video and not what EAGLEMUT is talking about.

Re: Poll: Crate gathering in batches
Well, I'm refering to the thread he linked which I stopped reading after I went to the LAN. At that point it was still not tested in multiplayer environment so definetely no reliable conclusion can be drawn.
Re: Poll: Crate gathering in batches
That's true, and from my experience resource gather rates seem pretty consistent in multiplayer overall. Well, except when your damn vills refuse to chop wood because of lag!

Re: Poll: Crate gathering in batches
I think the rate is a tad too much like 20 at a time could be 10 at a time and faster but other people have raised a good point about nerfing aggression. It’s probably better to leave as is.
I mean I’m a slow/er player at least relatively speaking so things that would benefit me would not necessarily be popular

According to Kev, it's roughly 4% more in multiplayer.

Can we consider that both players are affected in the same way or there are possible inequalities? In this case, i prefer a bug fix even if you have to fuck crates

There can be jitter so that players could get better or worse gather rates for a short amount of time, though it might not be too significant given that the jitter is per-vill.
However, given that the crate gather action is a completely own action in the tactics file there is a possibility to fix the gather bug and still retain the 20-chunks gather on the crates.
Re: Poll: Crate gathering in batches
The thing is though, different civs work with different amounts of villagers, so this bug snowballs in favor of brits when playing against dutch, for example.

Re: Poll: Crate gathering in batches
Batch gathering is super annoying. Not sure there's a real way to tell if its halfway or what, ofc other than watching the vil the entire time
