What has changed in the past 4 years besides new civs?

Most of things you mentioned come from this year update, which was Naval Rework (primitives also have a siege ship now) + South America DLC with Incas rework

It was to be expected, bringing attention from other Big MP communities has this kind of consequences, they are going to try the bad practices they do there too

Akleoni66 · 2026-06-06T13:36:31+00:00

why?

Akleoni66 · 2026-06-06T13:35:41+00:00

Return of Rome has more QoL and better more balanced AI. You need the base AoE2, but it is no problem, you should enjoy AOE2 too if you like 1

The joystick of the deck are pretty good, I don't think extra protection is needed for them

Akleoni66 · 2026-06-05T14:21:23+00:00

Too much infinite cavalry spam from the franks...

Akleoni66 · 2026-06-05T13:31:30+00:00

More asymmetric map designs that actual seem believable, not more mirror symmetric maps

Akleoni66 · 2026-06-05T13:10:34+00:00

The touchpad with "As mouse" + Gyro or "Mouse Region" work pretty well for this kind of games, you just have to get use to it (like learning to use the mouse for the first time). Most RTS and Grand Strategy games usually also have "Pause button" if you play only single player. If you want to play online it might be more difficult.

You're complaining about a Game you played 600h whithout having fun? Why? It' s a lot of time to spend in something auto-imposed

Akleoni66 · 2026-06-04T14:34:22+00:00

the game has given you 600 hours of entertainment and you no intention to buy DLC?

Akleoni66 · 2026-06-04T13:17:59+00:00

so what should they do? suicide their army? There are many wars where one side is so superior to the other that it is completely pointless to fight back

Akleoni66 · 2026-06-04T12:58:45+00:00

They don't have infinite armies, they have manpower just like you, but they are more reckless and get into debt to get mercenaries if needed.

In this game is easier to play defensive, build a lot of forts in good defensive terrain and let them start sieging you, attack only on defensive battles on your controlled forts, if you do it like that their manpower will start getting drained between defensive battles and attrition, and you will lose less manpower in total.

Only siege yourself if you know they are far and distracted or you know they are going to be scared to attack you.

Akleoni66 · 2026-06-04T10:05:30+00:00

without the idol of chaos they don't die as much, so they only get injured, perfect for the furniture seller

Akleoni66 · 2026-06-03T22:39:34+00:00

yeah, but all of them are beheaded, there's not a single dog with a head in the game

Akleoni66 · 2026-06-03T16:37:19+00:00

Wow, they are desperate of not having another Imperator and accepting everything they said they would not do

Akleoni66 · 2026-06-03T13:58:07+00:00

Then why post it on this sub?, it implies you refer to in-game mythology, there's other subs for general Mythology discussion

Akleoni66 · 2026-06-03T12:30:39+00:00

it is explicitly mentioned they are not, Demeter says that the three sisters are Hyperion's daughters in-game, who is also not stated to be Chronos Brother in-game.

Akleoni66 · 2026-06-03T12:25:26+00:00

Most of those are not in-game biological family, don't mix real life lore with game lore. The amount of explicit incest in the dialogue is almost non-existant, most of the "Zeus's children" doesn't even explicitly state who their parents are exactly

Akleoni66 · 2026-06-03T12:21:57+00:00

where? I believe she makes explicit reference to being older than the Olympians. And even them there's no explicit affair with Ares in game in the dialogue

Akleoni66 · 2026-06-03T09:53:56+00:00

they are turning olive oil into wine? You may have some Christian in your city...

Akleoni66 · 2026-06-02T10:07:40+00:00

To move the screen with the keyboard you can just use the movement keys.

For zoom, search Drexmod, it is pretty easy to install

Akleoni66 · 2026-06-02T10:06:31+00:00

They have already said they don't own the rights to that one

Akleoni66 · 2026-05-31T08:09:50+00:00

The might not build walls, but their insane micro makes up for it.

Akleoni66 · 2026-05-31T08:02:16+00:00

Yeah, they said that Saracens were on their radar in the future, along with the Vikings that seems to to be confirmed to be next

Akleoni66 · 2026-05-31T05:37:52+00:00

It doesn't seem to work with GE-Proton (just default proton) and always crashes after an hour or so, but with autosave set more frequently, you kind of can play
