In the game before that he teleported two times about viper's walls.

"Khmer: Farmers no longer require Mills or Town Centers to drop off food. "

This opens so many possibilities, even more so when you combine it with the ability to garrison vills in houses.

You could use your forward vills to farm. So trush+farms, add houses if needed.
In late game you could place so many farms in so little space, all perfectly aligned along the end of the map, in the corner, etc... You could have like 80 farms in the space where you had 20 before. Maybe even wall them.
Maybe along the trade you could have a whole line of farms, from one end of the map to the other.
Probably much more...

Just build 5 farms around each house, farmers hide inside house when economy raided.
Super OP.

They made pathing even worse, in about 5 min my opponents m@a went over a house that was being built and my villager when through stone 11

Its a feature man. Walls and Gates were too OP, nerfed.

 

[Nheltarion]

That Khmer farm bonus sounds huge. Should save so much walking time.

I did a couple of test and they seem better than slavs' farm

 

[Springoftheking]

Making walls obsolete isn't bug. It is the missed buff for the Goths.

Things i like:
Most of it, honestly. Some really nice balance changes, especially to khmer

Things i don't like:
Arambai are too cheap now
Nothing done to Goth, my suggestion:
20% discount in dark age / 35% discount in feudal age and onwards
+1 / +2 / +3 vs buildings in feudal / castle / imperial age

Edit: Stop hotkey for military units doesnt work

yes, in the current state their farmers will be as efficient as farmers on the rightside of the tc, on the best spot, so ruffly 15% faster farming than average, thats huge, it falls off with other civs getting handcart/wheelbarrow, but will always be around 10% faster farming.

TLDR kmhers have slav farms now, without needing mills

@Jupe @Rubenstock

I thought it was common sense that you should not abuse bugs in matchmaking games.

 

[USC_kiky]

The block printing is a long-awaited tech for Chinese in the Chinese community. It is finally added officially!

 

[Meandor]

Current issues:
- The already much reported ghost-units passing through walls.
- Stop command has stopped working for me. Same with the guy I faced. Anyone else had this issue?

Well after handcart it should be as fast as everyones farms (except Slavs) as the farm work rate and not the villager gather rate is the limiting factor at that stage afaik that was also the reason why the slav bonus was originally bugged

I never had a single disconnect in DE so far, now I played the first game with the new patch and I disconnected after about 30 minutes...

That may have happened due to the current Server Maintenance? (Servers will be down for ~2h afaik)

Khmer bonus will be much bigger when gathering point is farther from optimal though which is more and more the case when games goes forward. I believe that will more than cover the handcart/wheelbarrow help default civ gets.

Ah okay good to know, thanks. Did they announce this somewhere?

11111 they've really outdone themselves this time

 

[oozkan]

Fixed a rare issue where Petards would fail to deal damage to Gates.

Oh, is this the bug that Dave found? @Marauder
Somebody please test it

 

[Nicov]

Edit: I just finished reading the update in details and it looks amazing. Lets hope we dont get new glitches.
