Age of Empires - a serious problem AND THE COMMUNITY SHOULD RIOT!!!!

[Johnny Walrus]

I love this game. I've played the demo for years on an old laptop we used as a dvd player when we went camping. I rediscovered it on steam years later and fell in love with it's vibrant community in 2017. I love the game.

However, I've discovered something so heartbreaking about DE, that I think we might have to declare war. Seriously wtf were they thinking. Exhibit A of the worst thing ever put on this planet.

If you do not see the problem check the enhanced image listed below.

The civ list is uneven. But luckily i propose an idea.

Either A: The devs add one more civ. Doesn't matter who. It could be ****ing aliens for all I care. ANYTHING TO BALANCE THIS OUT SO WE DON'T HAVE TO LIVE IN DEFCON 12 ANYLONGER. FIX THE UGLY LIST!!

Or B: The developer decide to get rid of the 11 civs on the right. That way we can have a clean 2 even rows of civs. Something needs to be done, and sacrifices may have to be made. Thank you everybody for coming together to try and find a solution.

Trivializing the really serious problems the game currently has by making a joke thread is not helpful.

This cant be the solution!!!!! 2 even rows + Mirror, Random, Full Random as buttons is no solution!!!!!!!!

Fixed.

Maybe this should be moved to the Wololo Forum?

 

[SaladEsc]

lmao this actually got me, well done OP

 

[HongeyKong]

Not only that, they are also arranging the civs vertically.

 

[Paint]

Sadly it's completely impossible to divide 35 in a reasonable way. Ignore this completely unrelated image.

add one civ "random" and make random + one civ selectable then add this code

IF random_p1 AND random_p2==TRUE:
civ = random
ELSE:
civ = selected civ

ez, literally turn list into 1 column with all the civs that you scroll down like the tech tree menu. it'll help with selection and really help the new players to not get overwhelmed!!!!!!111!!1

Ez, take out goths and Mayans and you've made the world a better place in the process

actually take out all civs except for khmer.

this is now rise of nations 2 de

Imagine the mayhem, if there were 37 civs ...

 

[Tedious_Tarkan]

I propose they add a "non-civ" option: None
No civ bonuses, no unique unit, but given every standard tech and unit.

 

[Relux_the_Relux]

Add a "cosmopolitan" civ, which civ bonus are just all the team bonus of all other civs. The UTs are kasbah and paper money.

 

[robdyrob]

add a "random if enemy random"-checkbox in the free space?

Asking the devs to correctly implement this might be asking too much with how much they have to do and how underresourced they currently appear to be.

Maybe turn the matrix into 1 row would be better? Player can swipe horizontally but they can only see one civ at a time. Of course the civs should not be ordered alphabetically because that would make the experience of a finding a civ less fun.

Create a civ called "Outcasts":

- non-siege military units generate gold when attacking enemy buildings excepts walls
- buildings -20% HP
- buildings regenerate HP
- foot archers +1 melee armor
- CA UT: Black Market: your market prices aren't affected buy other players buying or selling ressouces
- IA UT: Call to Arms: Archery Ranges work 100% faster
- UU: Footpad (foot archer with attack bonus against UU)
- team bonus: villagers +5 attack against siege

You forgot that the CA UT only needs a market to research.

Should be start a riot to stop useless rioting?
Dunno man, allowing others to pay attention to whatever they want seems easier

IF random_p1 AND random_p2==TRUE:
civ = random
ELSE:
civ = selected civ

Don't compare a logical value to a boolean. Revise and resubmit.
