AOE-II DE Radical changes to the Dark Age.
sad to see so many people these days treating the RM mode as if maps are pre-explored scenarios. the 5-10 minutes of inaction is there for seeing what the map is like. and it's not just your own base. analyzing your opponent's base also tells you what kind of attacks can work and which ones...

Marsh Madness and Marshy Shores
Added Marshy Shores to the original post and the DE mod. It is a clone of Marsh Madness, but without the rock terrain around each forest (and with different forest generation). That adds the option to wall on land and build town centers beside forests, so it plays very differently. While that... -

AOE-II DE What are the worst civilizations right now?
korea, berbers, bulgarian, byzantine, teuton, turk maybe inca too, but i don't play against good enough vil rushers to be confident about that one byzantine is better than those in theory, but the way DE is set up (seeing maps & spawn positions before you choose your civ) there's no reason to...- Biz

the funny part of this is that microsoft has some of the best matchmaking technology in the industry but aoe is still using shitty elo systems- Biz

AOE-II DE How DE killed Nomad
the "i must dock immediately. give me a pre-explored map" nonsense is just a FE / DE problem for civ-pickers before they reduced the house cost and added malians and let you drop shore fish at a dock, it wasn't a big deal to explore or discuss a bit before choosing a location. it's not like you...- Biz

AOE-II DE Your feelings about the path the game is taking?
i would hope that RM competition involves random maps instead of fixed maps. but i also don't think that ranked play needs to imitate pro play, and especially not for teamgames. for example, pro play doesn't really involve random civs, but that was commonplace in ranked teamgames (before DE...- Biz

AOE-II DE Your feelings about the path the game is taking?
it's not the best, but at least they got lots of the important things right by copying more modern games (like starcraft 2) there is no command lag matchmaking instead of cherry-picking opponents / lobbies balance patches improved controls there's lots of room for improvement, but the game...- Biz

AOE-II DE The Alt F4 problem and how to solve it
arabia is not an open land map it is not closed either it is in between the two from more open to less open: wood rush (atacama / acropolis / seize the mountain) kilimanjaro / serengeti gold rush / golden pit / valley arabia / cenotes ghost lake / lombardia / ravines mongolia all the...- Biz

AOE-II DE TG raiting is still very broken

AOE-II Paper-Paper-Stone (The case of infantry)
the amount of buffs you would need to give infantry to bring them to xbow/knight level is too high better to just nerf xbow/knight, let skrims/pikes/lightcav get played, and then infantry have a role 1v1 players can always figure out what to make because those games are more controllable.

AOE-II DE Basically no closed maps in 1 vs 1 RM map pool, now mostly only fun for pros
i'm not saying to split RM. i'm saying to change the individual maps to be map bundles (like full random, blind random, random land map are) then you can add more fortress maps or more water maps or more arabia clones without them taking up more of people's bans a lot of the DE maps are more...- Biz

AOE-II DE Basically no closed maps in 1 vs 1 RM map pool, now mostly only fun for pros
the bans are basically there for people who don't want to play flawed maps or water maps or nomad maps to be able to ban those. if they have to ban 3 arenas, then they don't have any bans left for that purpose there should basically never be fully closed maps in ranked because the game balance...- Biz

How would you increase emphasis on macro in aoe2?
keeping production going across lots of buildings is macro, not micro. you might view it differently, but that's not the standard definition semantics aside, if you want to reward decisions more than execution, you'd have to balance a lot of the things to be less universal for example...- Biz

Why has walling become more popular?
i don't think it has i was making anti-wall maps 10 years ago because arabia was already ruined by drush/wall/fc at that point the hun CA spam got fixed, but there are too many other strong things you can do in castle age without needing much of an eco- Biz

A message to the devs (Balance team)
they should have moved beyond 'all bonuses must be unique' after they got to 25 civs, at least for the economy stuff 'we ran out of early eco bonuses, so let's hand out random free ****' doesn't scale fairly to multiple maps the same way 'lumberjacks work 10% faster' would- Biz

AOE-II DE Coastal Forest is not a "random map"
if you're talking about coastal forest, then yeah DE is a mixed bag. we finally get a version of the game with decent netcode, but can't pick which maps to play :( a lot of the maps are fine to play a few times, but they don't last because they aren't random. i don't know where they got this...- Biz

We need 4v4 Tournaments badly
DE 4v4s are much more responsive than CD 4v4s. i'm not saying the performance is good enough for whatever your personal standards are, but it's so much better than what we used to play as for endless stalemates, we don't necessarily need to have those anymore. DE has lots of new ways to make...- Biz

Black List of Lithuanian Relic Bug Abusers
not really maybe a permanent ban is too much, but 30 days or something is completely reasonable map dodging should also be a 1-day ban. i just wasted an hour in the queue and started 0 games. now i'm logging off for the day- Biz
