EP 9.0.x Beta [RELEASED-LIVE]

[look]

7% from 12%.. too strong
Better 9% maybe

Hi,
With fixed wood crate start India might not be that slow, anymore. So 600coin +1 villager is a balanced shipment.

I was always of the opinion that going FF should sacrifice eco. Since India can continuously train villagers while age up. It would be better to have required taj mahal in age 2 for a decent FF. With 700 coin shipment India is either a better turtle with agra or better boomer with karni while doing FF as compared to a euro civ for example. Taj mahal ability goes well with both defending early fortress and better complements India's FF shipments. The fixed crate allows a faster age 1. Or a consistent TP with faster cards + free villagers, probably snowballing to make FF fast and viable.

Btw was the Ottoman intervention too powerful? Or more beneficial as compared to other allies. I don't see when 4 hussar shipments will be used in fortress.. I am probably missing somthing here.

Is the Aoe3 official multiplayer patch included in this.. or will be later?

That's great.
I had read your concerns about them removing agecommunity.com. That multiplayer might not work. I thought this would affect esoc players as well. But we are good to have you guys to troubleshoot...

Why all the BS political correctness? I demand my ESOC donations be refunded until Eaglemut openly comes out in favor of racial slurs

User was warned for this post

[dansil92]

someone remind me to write up on my maps thread the changes/updates and new map info

[Cometk]

Germany
- XP penalty REVERTED to 10% (from 7%)
- Uhlan hitpoints REVERTED to 190 (from 180); consulate Czapka adjusted accordingly

this change in particular makes me very apprehensive, even considering the nerf to tradepost general XP income. it's such a massive difference in the units performance

[harcha]

China
- Village Cost reduced to 190w (from 200w); bounties adjusted accordingly

Why? What is the purpose of this?

Russia
- "Riding School" shipment now increases the train time of Oprichniks by 5%

Spain
- "Riding School" shipment now increases the train time of Lancers by 5%

Is this for treaty?

[Mr_Bramboy]

What's with all the water nerfs? I can't remember the last time I saw a successful water play at a high level.

[Rohbrot]

Omg, siox with walls , otto with 5 vill shipment, Re Uhlannnnnn.

[Garja]

This last patch is a bit of a joke.

[chris1089]

No spain nerf?

[chronique]

I don't understand some of these change. Also, why not implement some DE change? (like for sioux, porto and spain ^^)

[Jets]

India
- 600w shipment increased to 700w

Is it just me, or India seems to be swimming in tons of wood, the wood tech already researched in age 1, the wood trickles, heck even most Indian units don't require wood at all, all the wood can be converted into buildings, that means a little xp income, and since you never run out of wood, there's always something to build.
You don't even have to send wood crates to build another TC if you're playing India. What's the point, you're leaving the civ without any weakness at all.

[Hazza54321]

Dont care about the nerfs to the already weak water cards, uhlans are back baby. Don’t understand the opri and lancer train time nerfs but whatever. Cassadors seem to be slowly on the route to standardisation i liked the 50% rr

[Black_Duck]

No spain nerf?

Whats wrong with Spain?

[chronique]

Insane how 10 hp can change the life of so many peaple. I don't get it ^^
