That's a lot to unpack here. First of all yes, it's true that MS came forward with concerns over WK freely distributing assets from HD/DE. Which is something we never did, we had always taken the steps towards converting everything locally to not infringe on copyright laws. So all it took was...

That's certainly an interesting perspective, it's also a wrong one. Some of us considered that with DE being far superior to HD, continuating WK wasn't as necessary as before. DE presented itself with new challenges for WK as well, and after some preliminary research we decided to move on to...

The UserPatch team disbanded when scripter left almost three years ago. For the original WK team, everyone went their separate ways shortly after DE came out.

Just to be clear, this isn't the ol' crew. This is an entirely new team. No one from UserPatch or from pre DE WK is working on this, though this project is obviously building upon what came before.

Most controversial statement right there.

How convenient is it that he "didn't need to bothers with numbers" now that it turns out they don't add to what his initial claims were. Spring repeatedly makes the claim throughout this thread that walls are stronger on DE because you can get a lot more for the same price. The numbers don't...

First of all, that's wrong. Houses in AoC had 900 HP. Second, again this is both wrong and deceiving. 30w will buy you 1 house and 2.5 palisades, for a total of 925 HP in dark age, 1375 HP in feudal. This also has to account for 17.5 additional seconds it takes to build those 2.5 palisades...

The link is already in my post.

There are only 2 unrevealed civs. Confirmed civs are: - Chinese - Delhi Sultanates - English - Mongols - French - Abbasid Dynasty https://www.ageofempires.com/games/age-of-empires-iv/civilizations/

It doesn't matter. It's not a situation where your food income per minute is higher if you wait over an extended period of time. With how farms work, you would always be farming faster than a generic civ, even if you collect just 5 food from your farm. Similar to Tatars in a way, who have...

Is it fundamentally different from Sicilians having Donjons instead of towers ? Just curious.

Except, unlike in your examples, at no point it's a "worse than generic bonus". It's always better than normal farm, just reined in to not be too much better. This is not a "your units have +3 attack but -10% HP" situation.

Just want to mention that the Khmer farming rate is artifically reduced, no drop off farmers should be more akin to Aztecs normally. Incas could get the same treatment, don't see why that would be a problem.

French vineyards say hi.

Cost efficiency is a vastly overrated concept. Mobility, momentum and production availability are far more important in a real game. This list looks accurate for equal resources mashups, but doesn't accurately represent what an actual post imp fight would be like. Don't get me wrong, that's...
