AOE-HD [AoFE] Official Bug & Balance list

[Cysion]

Hmm, good to know, is this the "bare" bonus, without Wheelbarrow/Handcart researched?

 

[Philippe le Bon]

Okay fine, I'm indeed aware of that, but I didn't know the 18% was to offset the farmers walking time.
Mainly because +18% raw =/= +15% for real. Curious to see how does this bonus really affects the gathering speed, will do some little tests this night.

It wasnt tested well enough, but i think the efect had no real change with wheel or cart. Was tested long back, and I dont have aofe in my laptop atm. Maybe someone with aofe can test something like 8 farms around a tc working for 4 mins, and drop off all food at the end to see the results.

EDIT: Philippe dont forget to drop off food at the end.

 

[Philippe le Bon]

I've done some testing without dropping at the end, but still, no notable differences (!). I'll retry with dropping...:

12:17 farming with SLAVS, POST-IMP (35 farmers, paused at zero seconds so that all farmers start working from the very beginning) => 10246 FOOD

12:17, same but with VIKINGS, POST-IMP => 10248 FOOD

Why isn't the attack graphic bug for EMangudai and EJanissary fixed yet? I'm asking mainly out of curiosity 'cause I've fixed it myself many times but it seems that nobody cares about it, and I don't know if there are other issues about it or it has been simply forgotten.

 

[Cysion]

What exactly did you do to fix it? I think no one was ever too bothered by it :D (just like how the archer idle animation is bugged in AoC)

 

[Caledor]

Unit tab, graphic displacement xyz (projectiles section) copy paste the missing values from their non-elite counterparts. that's all! . ATM I know only about EMangs and EJans cause I never checked every single unit. Interestingly enough, both these units with the graphic bugged this way have their delay set to 0 too, while their non-bugged non-elite counterparts have a delay value properly set, so... delay bug too?

Another thing: does Madrasah work at all??? I was curious cause when I was correcting the Italian translation for AoFE, I couldn't understand at all what was it supposed to do. Now... I think it should increase your gold resources by 33 when a monk dies, am I right? If yes, then it doesn't do anything at all (I have already fixed it BTW), if I'm wrong, then please tell me what should I write in Madrasah's description :lol:

EDIT: Don't know if this is already known but scout cavalry is actually faster than light cavalry and hussars. It's 1.50 (1.65 with husbandry) for LC and Hussars and 1.55 (1.705 with husbandry) for SC after the feudal age upgrade (1.20 in the dark age), making them the fastest unit in the game.

 

[Cysion]

Apparently adding the cows, I overwrote the object that was used for Madrasah, my bad. Fixed it along the graphic displacements for EMang/EJan.

In my version (2.2 I believe), the Slavs history page is broken. No pictures.

That will definitely be fixed in AoF, thats probably wasn't fixed in AoFE 2.2 because of AoFE Dev team had no idea how to put pictures from campaign's cutscenes into history pages for the new civs since it was probably hardcoded, thats why when you scroll down below the civ section of many of the history pages like 'Medieval Warfare' and 'Dark Age Armies' and then on have pictures displaced from 5 history pages after when compared to the pictures of AoC's History pages.

I have a feeling cysion is stalling us

Why? :P

It's very common for the official change log to be published along with the release.

 

[MembTV]

i think goths civilization should get 220 pop and no houses like huns. It would roox really.

really..?
I also think their barracks should produce 2 units simultaniously, like twins. That whould really rock as well!

Btw just asking myself, do they get 315 if pop is set to 300? 1050 if pop is 1000?

Furthermore... i still do believe it is good to offer an alternative for housing, because making houses on pop 400 is very map consuming. You have castles, but they often die in battle. So, make wonders house a 200 vills. Or invent a technology which upgrades your houses to TallHouses, giving them 10 capacity. Great architecture challenge as well!

 

[Aguruchi]

Get a slav ally. Problem solved.

This is actually very nice (assuming only available in imp). That said house are also very useful for walling/blocking the coast line against landings.

 

[theironknuckle]

Not particularly keen on tall houses. Letting wonders provide population is a cool idea though, I think 50 spots would be enough. 200 is ridiculous

+1 Tall houses just rips off and undermines the uniqueness of Incas 10 pop. bonus and the Slav team bonus to an extent. Wonders providing 50 population is good enough.

 

[UpperKEES]

'Tall houses' could only be available during imp. At that time the benefit for Huns/Inca's is much lower anyway. That said, it could double the house capacity, so for Inca's it could become 20. This is just to accommodate populations of 500-1000.

50 pop for a wonder is nothing. For 1000 wood (disregarding 1000 food, gold and stone needed for the wonder) you can house 166 population. This aside from the time it would take to build a wonder. So the 200 pop was actually chosen quite nicely.

 

[Carlos Ferdinand]

But houses cannot extend the population limit. Maybe, 50 extra population limit per wonder which is an interesting idea.

This was my first proposal about 1.5 year ago. Have 200 pop standard, if you build a wonder all you team gets +50 pop limit. For each wonder 50 more.

The discussion back then was to give wonders some purpose so we would see them more in the game.
Also my motivation was, if it gives you +50 pop limit its very valuable and a thing to fight for. It will make post-imp war even more dynamic. Like the addition of the castle as the dominating castle age building, the wonder could then become the dominating imperial age building

Its suits with the AoE principle that nothing is for free.
Sadly they didnt imply it in the game.
