If you woke up tomorrow as a aoe 3 developer what would be the first thing you change in this game?
I'm deleting elephants and giraffes from the game no offence @Aizamk

Fix ranked team games

I would try to get to bed asap so I wake up as myself again. Being a dev for this game sounds like a hellhole.lenlenlena3 wrote:If you woke up tomorrow as a aoe 3 developer what would be the first thing you change in this game?
If there was one thing I would change then it is the 1 name per account rule (maybe give a free namechange token once a year). Also make names unique.

The first thing I would do is probably check out whatever internal communication tool they use and start bumping shit from years earlier tbh

I'd balance the game with some care and caution.

Install EP on aoe3 de with legacy graphics

Online friendlist or legacy ranks as casual rank
Re: If you woke as a AOE3 DEV tomorrow, whats the first you would change in this game?
I know this requires more than one dev but... Give it AoE2 treatment and build the game from scratch, with that take full control of pathing, hunts being dumb but also build from the very beginning with a better spectator/replay system so that new people can get resources and high levey replays way easier

It's still built on the Genie engine from 1997, although it has been enhanced a lot over the years of course.

Redo the voicework for both Hauds and Lakota. Understand the reasons behind change, but their execution is woeful.
Rework the Havok physics system again as they're a downgrade in DE from legacy. Come to think of it now, both the destruction effects and building model ruins are modelled too closely after IV's approach.

im changing the faction choices they come up with.
but if it has to be mechanic/gameplay related?
id add a multiplier against infantry on grenadiers and lower their anti building dmg a little bit.

Acknowledge directives from my superiors and start development on new civilizations.
Re: If you woke as a AOE3 DEV tomorrow, whats the first you would change in this game?
... Yeah you're right, I could swear I saw an interview where one of the devs talked about how they had to make everything right, from the way units moved on terrain to the way they attacked... That too was probably referring to assets I guess.EAGLEMUT wrote:This never happened with AoE2Plutonic wrote:I know this requires more than one dev but...

Then If I woke up as a dev I would just donate half my paycheck to Aiz for about 5 months then just quit.
Re: If you woke as a AOE3 DEV tomorrow, whats the first you would change in this game?
Probably straight up remove about 25% of the features of new civilizations. Basically everything that is clearly too much in terms of complexity or power or gimmickery.
Essentially a step back. I don't think just fixing those things is possible and/or worth the time.

Exactly. One does not simply refuse orders from the semi-ff gang.Mr_Bramboy wrote:Acknowledge directives from my superiors and start development on new civilizations.

I would start reviewing past changes and start updating/balancing old civilizations side to side to new civs with the very same category/ units.
I e:
If priests suck and I acknowledged that by making Padres, I have to compensate it by improving Legacy Healers a bit too.
If I'm gonna buff USA Outlaws I'd better think of a way to make outlaws more desirable by all the civilizations along with that too.

I really didn't get the irony.
I said the deficiency over some mechanics and units are constantly addressed solely through new civs. An this is not ok. I've never said I would copy: I said I would update and balance current issues too when making a new civ with a patch for these issues. I.e:
Healers- I'd use the Fan Patch tweak of +10% heal rate every age past Commerce Age (10HP/s, 11HP/s, 12HP/s, 13HP/s)
Outlaws- I'd also balance the Asian Outlaws instead of just the ones available for USA.

Italians are gonna have units who will throw nades from hot air balloons and cards based on The DaVinci Code.
I don't understand why Saltadores needed that invisibility power + free movement + automatic stealth WITHIN A COMBAT CARD!!Garja wrote:Probably straight up remove about 25% of the features of new civilizations.
