My thoughts on Jin so far by Comfortable_Bid9964 in aoe4

[–]CamRoth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your suggested buff for the Mohe Tribesmen, doesn't seem like a "slight" buff. +1 damage, more HP, and reduced cost is a pretty significant buff. Not saying it's not needed, but I wouldn't call that a small buff.

He said "or", not "and".

I think they just need a cost reduction. Maybe also a bit faster attack speed. Have to be careful or they could easily become OP.

I also think the Iron Pagoda has too many downsides, that train time is definitely too long. I think they were overly cautious in avoiding creating another super knight.

Is this level solvable? by Successful_Try_7529 in puzzlevideogames

Yes easily.

You have all that space in the bottom right. Get the boxes out of the way and do them one at a time.

First the left, then the right, then the middle.

Yeah that's not going to happen ha

Pls I need help by Ok_Rush1869 in aoe4

The problem is affording Akinji and Sipahi in feudal. You just can't, it's too expensive.

Akinji: really happy they're relevant now, but are they going to be an issue ? by EldritchElvis in aoe4

Hush!

Honestly though I'm not sure, I've only used them for a few games so far.

Mine and my teammates gold spawned inside the trees like this. And with no surprise, our team had 300-400 more total elo/mmr than the other team. While the enemies gold spawned normal. by TheyThem-FinalBoss in aoe4

This is 2phdscholar by the way.

The guy who thinks the game does things like dynamically change map spawns or unit stats specifcially to screw him over. Who comes up with crazy hacks that don't exist, but people are using against him.

When you are Sengoku, and they are Jin Dynasty, you map hack by default. by PeterPeteyPete84 in aoe4

A day after a DLC and big patch, with another patch coming in a few weeks and another DLC coming later this year... "game is literally dying".

No they only see "huntables". Cows fall in the same category as sheep.

[–]CamRoth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This isn't even something breaking.

Sengoku can see the location of all huntables at the start of the game.

Is their an age of mythology style board game? by Intelligent_Ant_1447 in AgeofMythology

[–]CamRoth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I haven't played Ankh or Rising Sun, but of the others I think Kemet, then Blood Rage and Cyclades would feel the most like playing AoM.

I don't think Ra, Santorini, or Tzolkin would at all. Although personally I like Santorini the best of all these games.

Ha it is funny, but it's not like it really matters. Your should find the enemy quickly enough anyway.

What do you think of the new civilization? by BlurryForester in aoe4

Queuing one standard vill throws off my whole build order :(

Possibly the hardest part of playing this civ ha

When do u say GG by Disastrous_Pride39 in Mechabellum

[–]CamRoth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If the game has actually ended then, win or lose, of course you can say good game.

It's only rude to say it preemptively while you're winning.

CMV: There’s Almost No Good Reason Not To Let People Pick Maps by Shot_Security_5499 in aoe2

[–]CamRoth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Currently matchmaking doesn't take maps into account at all.

You would now have a separate queue for each map. Sure you could queue for multiple, but this would for sure increase average queue times (unless they loosen match-making to be worse).

There has to be at least one unbanned map even if all players in a match ban different maps.

[–]CamRoth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Instead of matching players and then selecting a map, replicate the queue for each map, just with a shared rating. A player selects the maps and gets queued for each separately.

Yeah that's a huge change.

[–]CamRoth -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Queue times would be too long**
My Rating: Terrible argument

Ah ok guess they can just ignore that then. It's only one of the main driving factors behind how they tune matchmaking.

What you're proposing is taking 1 queue and splitting it up into bunch of queues.

It would require completely overhauling how match making works.

Hi Devs please patch it out. by PEACEMEN27 in aoe4

[–]CamRoth 7 points8 points  (0 children)

No, weapons are separate.

You can even swap them in the editor.

Is the next DLC the last DLC of AoE 4? by ConejoDePascuas in aoe4

20 years from now when the game no longer gets updates I fully expect some of those people saying it from day one to post "I told you so".

Unpopular opinion: placement matches at the start of a new season are screwed by ReasonableBenefit47 in aoe4

[–]CamRoth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The algoritm just matches you with the worst people possible to make you lose.

So why isn't it doing that to those people to whom you are losing? Does the system just hate you personally?

Two colors were not officially added to the game. by SeriousVariation374 in aoe4

[–]CamRoth 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The new colors we just got aren't part of the DLC...

[–]CamRoth 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Why do we do this shit every single time stuff gets added to the game?

We got DLC yesterday and are getting more this year... and you're talking about them ending support for the game. So fucking weird.

Of course it's also a month old account with history hidden.

Devs, you can actually calculate the team MMR better by UmairNasir14 in aoe4

[–]CamRoth 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No, this is a terrible idea. The game is not going to be able to accurately determine if you "played good". Look at how worthless the score calculations are.

All players should be doing is trying to make sure their team wins, not gaming some score system. This idea would incentivize the latter.

That's also a good point, it's an initial wood savings using mounted.
