I'm surprised it's taken this long for things to start getting out of hand. A lot of people have been saying it's been bad for years.
Chris has already made some questionable calls. One being the riverplation ban. Another being the t90 ban. Now we have this. It's going to get worse before it...
This is amazing, thanks!
I'm not very surprised by the civ matchups. Everyone in this game is always talking about unit counters, but if the game was that easy, all you'd have to do is always make the correct counter to your opponent's units. It would be boring.
The one thing we knew that I'm...
Yes. HD asked for player advice before it came out, and they didn't listen to them then, either. Also, no one is saying the wood change for towers made sense. There needs to be more transparency. Why was the change made? What were the intended consequences?
Thanks, scripter. I hope you're right about aoe 2 de. The same could have been said for hd. There's no one better to work on aoe2 than you and all the modders and more people I'm forgetting about offhand. That is why I can't imagine de being better.
I like hyuna, but we still need high level players balancing. There's no way around it. That's why I don't throw too many suggestions out there. Like stray dog, viper, mbl, liereyy, slam, ect ect ect all have different ways of playing and perspectives on things.
If anyone wants to fight I'm in...
So liereyy mentioned it once on stream, and viper said he's open to the idea, so they threw it in a patch. Makes sense, I'm sorry I take it all back. Due diligence was done.
I saw some of the comments on discord so I was expecting much worse when I watched the vod. The place is amazing, and the zero + t90 commentary live with the players in the booth is amazing!
I only read up to the part of the log ram idea. It doesn't work because then you're investing eco to kill their towers, and they're just going to age up and kill you with knights. You largely have to ignore the towers while beating them to castle age. This is true even if they castle drop you or...
If towers only shoot while garrisoned then it helps the defender. It's why it's tough to trush teutons. They can garrison more and your tower dies super fast. If trush being viable on arena doesn't prove how broken it is idk what does. BBT are banned in DM. I made a longer post describing some...
The problem isn't about towers, it's about walls and towers being too strong. I feel like you should need a blacksmith before building a tower. It would lead to some weird games where one side just wins because the other didn't scout it, but it feels right to me. In sc1 and sc2 you needed a...
I thought scripter changed something that also changed the pathing maybe indirectly in one of the 1.5 releases. Ever since then it's been weird. Like vills always go to the outside of the wall to wall.
The game is going to become less about army and more about civil engineering and gates, walls, and tower placement. The best sim city players will become the best aoe players. They'll have to nerf it to make palisade gates unusable, but walls, houses, and towers are still way too strong.
