New Meta Aoe 3 DE
New Meta Aoe 3 DE
I've been thinking about the new meta.
there may be possibilities for significant changes in the meta, and how it would affect the balance of the game..
we could discuss here things that may be real.
I will give a suggestion to start the conversation
age of empires 3 is a game from 5 ages .. in most games it ends around age 3 a change in the value of the up can be affect considerably, I don't know how it would affect and what other changes could come together to reach a good balance
Example
2age: 800f
3age: 1000f + 700gold
4age: 1500f + 1000gold

Re: New Meta Aoe 3 DE
If age 3 is cheaper, then ff/semi ff would be only viable options and it would not be a meta change but a balance disaster.
As for age 4, I think we'd see more FI, which wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing, but it wouldn't really lead to much longer games. Games would still end with one big fight (especially since age 4 leads to more timings) when a player runs out of food. It's just how the game works.

I think it would be interesting to make mill plantation transitions cheaper; make walls expensive/ build limit; and fight xp smaller.
Re: New Meta Aoe 3 DE
I think the biggest difference on farm switches on aoe3 vs aoe2/aom is simply this: on age of mythology i can make 1 farm for each villager or citizen or labourer, and transition 1 vill at a time onto farms from wood. In aoe3 its in chunks, quantised into 400 wood increments for 10 vills. If aoe3 had farms for 1 vill, priced at 40 wood per villager i think the farm switch would be both entirely doable and much safer
Re: New Meta Aoe 3 DE
Ye but 1 vill farm is meh. Reason why we should have pushed for a mill/plant rework with 5 vills.

Re: New Meta Aoe 3 DE
I like the vying for map control and the games where both players' vills are in the deciding fight at 25 minutes because every single hunt is gone.
Re: New Meta Aoe 3 DE
When I think about aoe3 DE, I think about fun times I will have convincing all the influx of new players that 100% pikeman is an impossible composition to beat. (aside from exploring whatever new strats the new civs may have to offer)
oranges.
Re: New Meta Aoe 3 DE
Perhaps inca will have the ultimate piki
Re: New Meta Aoe 3 DE
I definitely agree it would be bad for 1 vill- 1 farm. The increment is very high though. Perhaps 200w 5v farms would be a decent compromiseGarja wrote:Ye but 1 vill farm is meh. Reason why we should have pushed for a mill/plant rework with 5 vills.

Re: New Meta Aoe 3 DE
200w 5v mills is good I think. Then maybe you can upgrade each farm for another 200w to support another 5vdansil92 wrote:I definitely agree it would be bad for 1 vill- 1 farm.

last time i cryed was because i stood on Lego
Re: New Meta Aoe 3 DE
yea but aesthetically a bunch of small farms placed around the TC looks so much better than big ugly millsdansil92 wrote:I definitely agree it would be bad for 1 vill- 1 farm.

Re: New Meta Aoe 3 DE
Since DE is primarily a revamp of an existing game, I doubt they'll make any changes that are all that groundbreaking (aside from adding the new civs of course). But if they were to do so, I think making it cheaper/faster to go to Age 4 would be a cool addition. It's a very fun age in terms of units and upgrades but only ~5% of games get there.
The function of man is to live, not to exist.

any changes in this direction are good .. there could be a little less agglomerations in the food.Timurid wrote:I think it would be interesting to make mill plantation transitions cheaper; make walls expensive/ build limit; and fight xp smaller.

Depends if the said groundbreaking changes are deemed necessary to make the game more historically accurate like the Sioux/Iro changes.Papist wrote:Since DE is primarily a revamp of an existing game, I doubt they'll make any changes that are all that groundbreaking (aside from adding the new civs of course).

We need to hit the history books and work out how much old time currency things relevant in said ages cost, then do a modern day price conversion and then create a over complicated algorithm to get new true historically accurate age up costs.
My early prediction is that all age up costs will involve wood and coin but maybe reduce the food costs ever so slightly.
!vikings, glory to Valhalla and GUA!!!!
Re: New Meta Aoe 3 DE
I don't think that drastic changes can affect the balance so much, if each thing changes accordingly, a new meta can be real

Re: New Meta Aoe 3 DE
I dont think making the mill/farm/plantation transition easy would really improve the game. A big part of aoe3 is pushing for map and fighting for every gold mine. If the transition was easy/smooth maybe we would only see more turtle/camping in base for a deathball, single fight.
Re: New Meta Aoe 3 DE
Also don't want to make the transition too easy since the only finite resource to fight over would be wood. Which you don't even need for some civs.
If anything I'd want to make gold harder to get in the late game.
