AOE-II DE Please share your thoughts on AoE2 and CaptureAge

[abductedPlatypus]

Hey everyone (and we really mean pretty much everyone),

To help us best support the Age of Empires II community we would like to ask you to fill out this questionnaire. The length varies a little based on whether you play competitively, versus AI, campaigns, watch videos or spectate your own games, but should take no more than 10 minutes.

Microsoft Forms

forms.office.com

While we love working on the CaptureAge app, our goal is to support the Age of Empires II community in the broadest sense, so it’s really important for us to get responses from as many different people from as many different Age of Empires II communities as possible. So, even if you’re not into competitive AoE2 or even watch any streams we are still super interested in your thoughts!

Sincerest™ thanks,
abductedPlatypus

A thanks for the feedback we've gotten, it's super helpful!
If you're still planning to fill out the questionnaire you can do so until Sunday evening, after which we will close Monday morning (UTC).

@abductedPlatypus
I dont know if anyone mentioned that but the Food and Gold bars ( res required to advance to the next age ) don't function properly for Byzantine Imp and I don't remember whether it was fine with Italians.

I also miss being able to check if they player researched thumb ring :D Not neccesarily at the top with all the upgrades but perhaps to have it displayed after selecting ranged unit??? I don't know but in my opinion it's onf ot the most important upgrades for the archer civs:D cheers

+1 to thumbring. I'd also love to see husbandry and chemistry.

Would it be possible to have them similar to the blacksmith upgrades?

Husbandry and bloodlines in one, ballistics and chemistry in another. Great work!

Chemistry can be seen visibly with the arrow being fired.

Well it's not only important for archer civs. Let's say you fight Franks and a treb war is about to break out. This one can be pretty important too.

Not really answering to what I said xD you can check if there's chemistry by :
a ) clicking a unit / defensive building
b ) looking at the flaming arrows

That's why I don't see a necessity to add it into the overlay.

in order to have a better looking UI, 2 for cavs, 2 for archers

I have a critique at the questionnaire abductedPlatypus.
You forgot to include the option to rate "Live AI vs AI games"

my point is that for the viewer it can be difficult to see. yes the caster has a way to check it, but I see much of this interface primarily as a help for the viewer.
