I tend to believe people until they give me reason not to anymore.Metal said hes on 55 k a yr which isnt an extraordinary amount of money as well as hes apparently doing a job which isnt out of the realms of possibility either.It may seem out there for an AOC shut in who hasnt done anything though.Not that im saying you are a shut in,but guys who have done zero are usually the guys that cast aspersions first.
Do you guys know how much of the game depends on monks. There are many civs than rely on monks to part of the army, many units are too strong without monks in play. For example meso civs, monks really help them fight in a even way against powerful knight civs.
Monks are there to balance certain aspects of the game. The game was created before they made the map arena. If you come here to bitch about monks in arena, then im sorry but you are dumb and you dont see the big picture. The game was never balanced to be for 1v1 arina only matches. Meta evolved to get those clumpsy monk wars.
And do not be stupid to post and said this changes are for 1v1 arena. Thats ridiculous, a major balance change for every single map?
But im not against a monk nerf, some civs have access to some monastery techs that make no sense at all or that they do not need. For example, bizantines. Do they need redemption? I would argue that no, bizantines can deal with knights with camels and pikes efficiently, they have more hp in walls than help repeal a rush, their hp bonus overall helps a lot, they do not relly on archers and onagers isnt that big of a deal. They have access to bbc. Another example, do Malians all those monk techs? No, same as the bizantines.
So i would consider smarter changes like that. Removing redemtion to civs that do not need it is a good step. It would not change the style of a civ, the mechanics of them, the overall balance, etc. Saying that all civs need heresy, or increase the value of certain monk techs 100% more is just dumb. The balance of the game rellies in a lot more than your 1v1 arena matches.
Monks are broken unit right now overall not just in arena 1v1 but in any closed map be it tg or 1v1 and especially the aztec ones. The problem with monks as have been said many times is that they benefited the most from all aoe units especially by the modern resolution since widescreen patch several years ago. This was a huge change into basic game mechanics and gameplay. Mainly because of that they can convert any units easily even those who were supposed to be hard counters for them (light cavs/xbows). There is nothing wrong with bunch of monks and mangonels/pikes push but there is something really wrong when 20 or 30 old men with wooden sticks are going around destroying any units which are in their range. Just imagine how absurd it is.
The solution is really easy. First and most of all remove the huge randomness in conversions. That is the first step. Second make heresy and faith a bit cheaper so they are a viable response to all in smush against civs like aztecs or burmese. And maybe make those important early imp monk techs a bit more expensive (especially +3 range and theocracy/illumination). There is just a huge disproportion in prize between key offensive and defensive monastery techs.
No, I can't put my money into BO. I've asked him for any bo without money for Clown King title, but he refused, so won't happen now.
Why don't you give your money to him then? lend him 200$ if it's not much and get it back if he wins or lose all ...Without money its not serious so understandable if Edie does not want to do without anything at stake. Can't you even do 200$ ?? The thing is that something tangible should be at stake for both.

There are people who you usually disagree with, some people don't seem too smart, some very childish, some more or less annoying. I'm not saying you're childish, dumb, annoying and I can't agree with you. I'm saying you moved all those things to whole new level aoc/aoezone never seen before.
Edit: please, don't get me wrong. You're not the first "that one guy" and I'm not telling you this because everyone is nice, smart and reasonable usually except you. Those forums seen myself x Metal, young Edie, robo, Gerry, Emin, jinxed and even prodigy.
Edit 2: I forgot MbL and Pyc_Hawk.
