Best AoE 3 player, easily. Having the playerbase be that big would ruin the feeling of community we have, and me being the best player would annoy all of my enemies a lot.

Having a playerbase over 100k would suck in any way, so, option 1.

If you're assuming like a genie is granting this then it would be great because you wouldn't even need to practice. Just randomly appear and crush others whenever you feel like

Imagine :ear:'s posting ability combined with balance talk. Something I don't think the world is ready for.

The thing is if I was magically turned into the best AoE 3 player in the world I wouldn't give a shit about balance because I'd just be the best. In every thread about balance I'd just tell people to "get gud"

For real though it's weird that making AoE 3 mainstream is winning. The community would just become a toxic waste dump like every other huge game

Also to clarify, being the best aoe3 player of all time overnight doesn’t mean you get to stay that way forever. You just become as good as h2o and get the capacity to practice at his level, so you still have to maintain your skills somewhat but you can easily stay at the top of you play a bit

I'd still take it, win one tournament, then badly maim one of my hands to have an excuse as to why I never play again. Gotta go out on top

Being the best without having to give up my desire for silly strats would certainly be interesting, but from experience in other fields where I'm... stronger... tells me nothing good comes from this. I don't generally like making people salty and I know damn well I would when I'm doing things like Canada bear attack and arsonist spam or something and still winning or at the least beating a significant amount of the player base. I guess given the explanation, it wouldn't work, but I don't want to be the best, I merely want to enjoy (something) the game.

As for the game becoming 'more popular', honestly player base size has little to do with how toxic a game is. No matter how big or small the community is you find people to interact with that you like and share your way that you like to play the game. Toxic elements simply stand out more.

Disagree, given the moderation of these forums a huge influx of new people would result in a much more toxic environment

Actually, this would further motivate me to get better at the game in order to destroy you. Thanks for the boost!

Easily option 2 because of that little afterthought "mass appeal". Think about what a big change in the general population that would imply. If the masses are interested in a game like AoE3, that means there's a market for RTS and we'll get a lot more good ones. It also means more people will play other strategy games like Go, board games etc. Last but not least, interest in strategy games correlates with intelligence, which means the average IQ went up by like 10 globally. That's great for so many reasons.

Either out of his ass, or correlation/cause sophism.

Out of ass. Which part do you think is debatable?
