Many people believe that a strategy is not feasible so that it is not made by the Pro, well the professionals themselves have created the strategies that were previously thought not to be feasible, everything is feasible as long as the strategy works ^_^

If you lose to that, you at least know your opponent put some brainpower in figuring out how to install the hacks.

At the moment the things i dont get and annoy me are:

Swedes: being able to train guard units (infantry guns) in age 3 which are cheap and trade very well vs artillery, light/ranged or heavy infantry
Swedes: svea life guard
Inca: priestess's can convert your units, soak up a lot of damage but do not have any direct counters due to them having a healer tag instead of heavy infantry for example. (do i not focus these girls down or do i focus them down while the rest of the incan army is getting free hits?)
Inca: Age 1 native card should not be a core card and that natives should be strategies for specific maps. I dont mind the 2 builder travois building native TP's but when you can mix that with the age 1 card then balance and fun go out the window

Fixed.
Also I dont agree on Inca native part. Age1 card makes it viable.

I'm surprised they haven't given us musk+falc in age 1 yet.

Half the civs are potentially annoying atm, the meta and patches (+the new civs) all push into wall/turtle games

I just dislike this game style, if you green up as iro or lakota, get ready for a 40 minute game, because everyone will make 10 layers of walls vs you: So I started to play japan, just to force people into playing other styles vs me instead of turtle wall like they do when I am with other civs lol

This tbh. I had like 8 or 10 games in succession vs sweden jap portwater where opponent walled right before the uninstall. When u finally manage to break through the 4 layers opponent's yumis that have been firing for free escape through the back gate and there's 4 more layers now. Like if I wanted to play treaty I'd go play treaty. Switched to aoe2 where map control is a thing. Life's been good since

Yea, but cuirs definitely needed to be tuned down instead of all the imba ranged inf... switched to sc2, is a lot more fun and strategic.

Aoe3 without walls would be so much better, just buff tc fire or something if needed to be able to survive allin rushes, but delete walls from sup game mode

definitely agree that nerfing hand cav, the weakest unit type in the game, seems a little strange

I'd happily delete walls from Sup. Or have a limit on how many you can make which increases over time.

But they should probably fix random crashes and freezing in the QS lobby before the game starts first...
