Pretty much sums up my views on this as well. But I have to say I very much respect Memb for trying out new things with his tournaments and pushing forward instead of just repeating the same old formular.

Heavy disagree. As was often mentioned price money doesnt allow more than ~5 professional players. Rules need to remain flexible. Who completely disrespects rules, or breaks rules that impact die outcome of a match should be disqualified. All other rules should allow for flexibility and decision...

It does, it's just hard to find. I believe it is one of the buttons in the bar at the bottom of the video.

Which I had to do like every other time, when I switched tabs away from the stream, because the audio would continue, but the video would stop playing.

He has always been very vocal about him not liking the delete Trick. Im quite certain T90 recently said he would like the aoe portion from it to be removed but likes the hill bonus part (i agree with him here). Dave today said the only people that like the change are those that dont play the...

While what you are saying is true, towers are exempted from the hill bonus in the way that the extra arrows of the tower, which deal the bonus damage, are not affected by the hill bonus. I think that's the case for all extra arrow for buildings, which is the reason the TC fire does not benefit...

There is and always was a massive advantage of hills for mangonels. The point is, that now it likely (speculation, we will have to see about this) is not possible to defend a siege push, while booming if there are unfortunate hill positions on the map. Those already gave the benefit, that you...

that would be a pretty big nerf to mangonel pushes though, as you wouldnt even have to delete the mango anymore. im not sure how it will play out, maybe it results in more agressive play as you wont be able to defend a siege push while booming anymore, maybe it will result in it being to...

Yeah, this is the problem. I don't have a problem with the AoE damage increase being removed, but the hill bonus is a major issue now.

Isn't it just the chat sound? or are we talking about the "you aged up" sound, where there are some maracas added after the chat sound?

Plus, one important thing: As far as I understand Red Bull measures sponsorship success with Brand association. They pretty much made EW what it is. The fact that they are the only relevant sponsor for this game mode helps them a lot with their goal. Red Bull Wololo is pretty much synonymous...

Any information about live viewers in heidelberg?

plus this unironically makes villager pathing worse, as they prefer to go over to the other side of the lumbercamp to finish that tree with 20 wood instead of just chopping a full health tree that is nearby.

While I agree, that I would not be excited for an event with multiple AoE games in it, 12 players doesnt seem too few. RBW5 had 14 players, and if I remember correctly they had planned on only 12, but basically had excluded one player from the invites because they incorrectly assumed he couldnt...

Yeah, I believe formations are one of the core issues that cause bad pathing in AoE2. It is a very difficult issue to make a "swarm" of units behave like an individual entity on open field, but "flow" around objects, instead of pathing around them as a whole.
