Newly added bugs
The 8 bows shipment now no longer works for France and Malta ... for some reason?

Ye they simlpy don't spawn.

[callentournies]

I like this, forces players to adapt some. When I was young maps didn’t even spawn with gold mines. Kids these days have no idea how to play around things not spawning.

[Squamiger]

Organ Gun: Target lock removed.

that seems like a huge nerf, are organs now the only artillery that dont get target lock? You get so much value out of organs if they can lock onto units that are poking in and then retreating.

[kevinitalien]

It's not really a "nerf", they're reverting it, organs didn't use to lock

[Garja]

I think lock was a good buff. Yes organ (and gatlings even more) dps is a bit insane but it's the only way to make the unit legit. Without lock they are at best occasionally good.

[Sagesan]

Hi, I have played some matches as France in the new update. I have shipped the 8 crossbowmen shipment from the homecity in age 2. But it didnt receive. Only the shipment received sound came. But no crossbowmen. Happened the same thing in 3 or 4 matches. Has anyone else encountered this bug?

[Sagesan]

Newly added bugs

Yes I have also encountered this bug. Lost 3 matches because of it lol.

[Sagesan]

Not receiving a homecity card is a huge disadvantage in a very competitive match. If there are bugs in a map, it affects both players. But these kinda bugs are one sided. Opponent can take advantage from this instantly.

[dicktator_]

Seems like a very scared patch.

I didn't realize gold jags were +45% lmao. Nerfing jag promotions is good but aside from gold jags it doesn't seem like a significant nerf. Well I'm not sure how OP the jags were in the first place anyway.

Fulani nerf isn't that significant because they are still faster than normal infantry and Hausa always has more cav/goon than archer so they can always pull trick easily. Raider cost increase doesn't seem that significant at all, let's say you train 20 raiders that's 100c. Combined with the 100c Songhai nerf that's only 200c that Hausa will be down. Not sure why the Raider big button taking 5 seconds longer to research matters at all other than making it slightly harder to time pops when defending, an influence cost increase or cooldown increase would be a much better nerf.

Nothing for Ethiopia bows

Nerfing Chasqui is good but I think you could delete Chasqui and Inca would still be busted. The Chimu attack nerf is good, at least it will be more difficult for Inca to swarm Artillery with Chimu, but don't think it's enough for the civ.

Abus cost increase is actually a good direction for the civ I think, because strong Abus are fun to play with and it's in line with the "strong and difficult to replace army" Otto design. But again +5c is just not that significant.

Ports are the only civ where I feel that they received a good nerf. But as Kaiserklein pointed out that "nerf" is actually just reverting a previous change.

Carbine Cav are also getting a very scared nerf. Old carbine did ~82 damage per 10 seconds and new carbine will do 76 damage per 10 seconds. But new carbine will get more damage off with the first volley, and those calculations don't matter as much when kiting.

The 10/10 SW build is getting more significant nerfs, if they want to open SW they need either a wood treasure or to chop 50w, which will make the build less smooth, and they also only get 25 pop from the mills. But I think the build will still be very strong, and anyway even if the build got deleted they could always just FF.

Kentucky skirm shipment actually got a pretty good nerf. Instead of sending it early on, like right after 3 gattlings, players will want to wait a bit longer before sending it. The coal mine nerf doesn't matter as much, usually by the time it's sent you have enough eco that the 200w cost won't matter that much. Still, for the civ that I think got banned the most in the recent tournament, I don't feel like these nerfs are enough.

I don't expect civ power levels to be affected that much by the patch at all. Well, I guess I'd rather have a scared patch than a patch that introduces a bunch of new OP stuff.

...

I don't expect civ power levels to be affected that much by the patch at all. Well, I guess I'd rather have a scared patch than a patch that introduces a bunch of new OP stuff.

It's a good patch exactly because it has mostly small tweaks, even tho I firmly disagree with nerfing forest prowlers. That one is uncalled for.

JPK were and are not OP, the change makes sense just because those numbers on promotions are a bit silly (still didn't have that much of an impact).

Songhai strat is just a legit good age2 strat, perhaps the best one but not by much. It's directly comparable (in terms or unit count, overall "real eco" and unit strenght) to:
- Iro fast age with optimal build,
- Otto jan-abus-huss with optimal build,
- India gurka+camel with optimal build,
- Inca optimal house boom
If it wasn't for the fact that it more or less counters them, Hausa age2 would also be comparable to Japan and Brit age2 (in fact Japan age2 is in theory superior but it doesn't get to that point).
Age2 Lakota war hut strat, while not being overall that great, is somewhat comparable to the Songhai build as the two strats are similar and with stagecoach and the hunting card Lakota eco is about the same. Same thing for Ethiopia age 2 builds with crate+big benny spam should. However, Ethiopia lacks a real ranged infantry unit in age2 for later on (maybe the port xbow is ok).
The truth is that Hausa combo is simply better than all but like 3 civs just because skirm/goon/cav combo is overall the best combo in the game and having it in age2 is a big advantage. Other civs have to either skip age2 (semi FF civs easily can) or they have to play around the combo disavantage. But I mean it has always been the case. Even back then India would shit on Brits because of unit composition (and eventually even real eco) aside from that 2 minute time window were Brits could time India with slightly superior army count.

Ethiopia lower xbow cost is probably unintended and should have been changed. Other than that it's a normal xbow.

Inca is strong but it's fine. It's basically the same argument as Hausa except Inca have the annoying autogathering mechanic (which tbf I find refreshing to have to compete with Japan and other civs that don't require much map).
Just accept some civs are inevitably slightly better than others by design. Just like Japan if you nerf Inca too much it will be a crap civ. You can't perfectly balance 20 or so civs. They will land on slightly different tiers and compete against the ones in the same class. Occasionally you have some counters due to design despite the different tier.

Abus are already a nerfed version of the legacy unit which by the time EP was the main patch it was not a problem anymore. Any further nerf is just a way to accomodate people complaints and a cover for the fact that adding an extra combat card in age4 was likely not a good idea. Also, I guess that with 5v card Otto can now replace them easier to the cost increase is somewhat justified.

Ports don't need any nerf, the civ is at most marginally better than its traditional competitors.

Carbine didnd't even need nerfs as their supposed superiority doesn't actually win games. The unit is better on paper but it's not like you can start making double stable carbine and beat stuff they're not supposed to beat. Again just a nerf to please the masses and therefore a barely relevant one.

The 10/10 SW build isn't actually affected by the pop change as you can (and probably should) do it with the cow card first and the pop card second, while chopping an extra 100w in transition for the first house. It's only later on that you have to start chopping wood earlier for extra pop (basically you will have a buffer to 80 pop instead of 100). So it's somewhat a good nerf if you think the strat was too good but in fact it doesn't even change it in its relevant part (early on). As good as it is I would have not even touched the strat at all.

All those USA nerfs are fine, the strat won't be as good but still viable. People used to overrate USA imo. Yes they ended up with the best semi FF but it's still in the semi FF category. It's like when German had the best semi FF with the TP start. It's not like you couldn't play French, Iro or Ports (or Dutch to a lesser extent) against them, altho it was clear that they had an advantage.

Btw my post is not directed to yours, I just found it convenient for my thoughts on the patch as it mentions the most relevant changes for civ balance.

Nerfing Forest Prowlers instead of reverting infantry combat in age II card to just toma/aenna is just BS from the devs.

Shameless plug. Works everywhere except the ladder. In lobby your opponent needs to have it. Mainly useful for tournaments.

[Tappo]

Does anybody have more issues with shift click since the patch? Endless times with Brits where the villagers walk into the manor foundation, decide they are no longer going to build it and then do the next action.

Anybody know why this now happens so much?

I kid you not i reckon its when you click right in the centre of the building it doesnt recognise, only clicking the edges recognise the clicks as clicking the buildings. This is only when the foundation is already on the floor and you move another vill onto the foundation

[RenektonSion]

I can't believe that 2 weeks after the patch they still haven't released a hotfix even though the classic shipment of 8 crossbows it doesnt work, which is extremely necessary for many match ups with Malta and France,Additionally, considerable patch content that is in the notes is not in the game.

How useless the developers

[mmTakezo]

playback stopped because it is out of sync with the original game". all the recorded games from esoc do not work .........

[callentournies]

free forts for italy arguably had a much worse impact on balance and player enjoyment than 8 bows not spawning and that wasn't fixed for 4 months.
