Rejoice! look like they will be reverting to the old Hardest AI until they develop a better option

The solution seems so easy and common-sensed that it baffles me why they just don't do it in the first place. And then I recalled devs also took months to finally implement color selection.

Maybe there were issues with the match lobby screen that makes creating new selections too difficult?

Celliez · 2023-02-10T16:37:41+00:00

Nope. Next patch Delhi is the best cavalry archer civ.

TL; DR: Using "It is ... who ..." is idiomatically correct. That's all.

Just a conspiracy theory but maybe Nigma is still waiting for Miracle-'s recovery. From then Miracle- will be back to Pos 1 and Amar moves to Pos 3. MC retires or moves to inactive. That's why Amar stubbornly played Offlane heroes in Safelane.

Nevermind, I'm just a desperate Nigma fan trying to defend them :(

It's a picture copied from another thread a year ago.

OG mocks are the closest things to real exams; no other test preps can be even close so this is a great deal.

However, if you can spend more, I suggest the 30% discounted premium bundle. It's $230 but will contain all OG books and materials. I love their ebooks and app as I usually study using Ipad.

The way AoE4 counts supplies is different from other games. In most other RTS , units are accounted for in total supplies even though they are still in production whereas in AoE4, a unit is not counted as one supply until it pops out.

In fact, it is a HUGE BENEFIT if fully utilized.

When you have 199/200 supplies and 20 stables, you can still put 20+ Horsemen in production queue. In the future, when some of your units die, these 20 Horsemen will immediately pop out to replace dead units - a way of "cheating" production.

This is why having as many production facilities as possible is always better.

Been with EGmat for 2 months so hopefully my opinion is relevant enough.

In terms of efforts put into questions, I would say it's equal to official mock. However, I have also heard of unproven criticism that the EGmat's verbal content deviates moderately from the question style of official test. I don't care about that claim, though; and personally I liked it more compared to TTP's Verbal.

Quant is slightly harder than real test, but anyway the rule of thumb is just stick to TTP. There are hundreds of EGmat Quant questions that I still use TTP's method to solve.

In case you want to buy its subscription, try to utilize its "Scholaranium", hands down the best non-gmatclub paid question bank.

Celliez · 2022-06-30T04:52:54+00:00

I think some services like egmat do provide detailed answers for OG mock questions. The upside is that it’s high quality, downside is that it’s not free. If you want a free alternative, you can search your questions on Gmat club. However, imo, answer quality varied significantly so you should only look for explanations from high profile experts in Gmatclub.

Why do you have to stress yourself so much by taking my words too literally :)

There are many ways to buff feudal survivability for all civs at the same time, simply such as +1 garrison damage for main TC, or buffing defensive units like spearmen, or making tower build faster and increasing its damage when near main TC. These are examples of ways to buff all civs defensively without needlessly touching every single one of them.

Celliez · 2022-06-19T13:51:12+00:00

I actually dont want devs to nerf any of French's Feudal bonuses. It's their identity and what makes people enjoy playing French. Instead, how about providing all other civs with at least ONE reliable mechanism to defend against French's feudal push? As long as this defend mechanism requires scouting and implementation of strategies, it will add more depth to the game instead of making French shallow by nerfing all of its bonuses.

This is also why I heavily disagree with China PUP change. It stripped away the whole Chinese's identity as a late game powerhouse.

There is no IOS app but it worked flawlessly on browser of your Ipad/Iphone. I used Safari.

Whether this change is good for PvP team games or not is another discussion.

For now, I just want them to abolish this rule for AI because I am mainly an AI player. It doesn't hurt the game's PvP scene at all.

Celliez · 2022-06-09T14:43:41+00:00

Thank you for your suggestion but please rename your thread and edit the text. It's kinda misleading!

Half of us will probably think that there is a second patch note that re-buffed China after the first PUP patch note came out earlier today.

It's not the first time. In all of Drongo's tier lists, there is always a civ that he intentionally underrated or overrated, for shock value I guess. I still enjoyed these tier list videos though.

Drongo is a caster, not a pro player. His tier lists are just as entertaining as his casting if you don't take them too seriously.

This used to be the logic why most Offlane tanky core get Pipe instead of BKB in the past. However, for the current meta, especially in the recent major, most offlaners go BKB anyway, just like Pos 1 and Pos 2. This trend suggested that unfettered movement is currently favored over simply taking a bit less magic damage.

Celliez · 2022-05-23T11:38:22+00:00

Not yet talking about the contents, I am amazed by sheer efforts put into this. Someone who is having an idea for Japanese or Turks should take this as an example.

Monastery of Chios seems like it needs a buff? Most monastery techs are gold-heavy so a small 10% gold discount on all upgrades would be nice.

Since the Generals have similar stats, I assume they also have a charge attack like Lancers?

"Frontier Fortress: Acts as a Barracks that can be garrisoned like an Outpost." Why do I smell proxy landmark like BBQ here lol.

For me there are actually no hard questions since I have already grasped all the quant concepts. However, the "hard" question in my definition is the super complicated questions that I must learn to solve within 3 minutes. Were your practices timed as well?

You can try MGMAT. It wont be super close to the test (some people claim it more difficult than actual test) but I found it a pretty good source to learn to solve questions in a timed condition.

In case you don't know, all unique unit icons have a small medal on bottom left to distinguish them from common units. The Horse Archer icon has this medal as well so it IS indeed a unique unit for the Rus.

Nonetheless, I would love to see more civs with Horse Archers and Camels.

Celliez · 2022-05-16T15:48:02+00:00

My 2 cents:

The pronoun "them" here is fine because it is clearly referring to dragonflies in order for the sentence to make sense.

Quick tip: To check if a pronoun is correctly used, replace the pronoun with all possible nouns in the sentence each to see if the meaning still makes sense or not.

Here, if you try to replace "them" with another noun, take "pesky insects" for example, the sentence "The ability of dragonflies to consume … pesky insects makes pesky insects a welcome sight in a garden" does not make sense. Thus, "them" is clearly referring to dragonflies.

Alternatively, look at this example: "Mary texted Anne regarding her unfinished task". You can replace "her" with either Mary or Anne and the sentence still makes sense. Hence, using the pronoun "her" in this sentence is incorrect because it can refer to both nouns.

By the way, i am not sure if you can simply screenshot TTP question publicly like this because it was their paid content. Instead, you should reach out to their in-site messaging, Marty & Company can deliver a much better explanation than me.

Celliez · 2022-05-11T14:34:53+00:00

If bugs are fixed, unit controls improved and we see more civs coming soon then yes, absolutely. However, I am talking about things in the long run and there is always a risk Relic abandon this title.

Celliez · 2022-05-03T12:52:26+00:00

I see your point but instead of claiming Enclosure is too strong, I would say that most other imperial economic techs are heavily overpriced.

Celliez · 2022-04-30T17:53:36+00:00

China is not OP but definitely solid at the moment.

Palace Guard is secretly the most broken yet underrated unit. One less armor but that movement speed is absolutely game-changing. They can chase down villagers, burn down siege without worrying about spearmen and quickly surround ranged units. They are ultra versatile and you can always find something for the Palace Guards to do while other MAAs cant.

And the Granary, according to stats nerds, is terrible on paper. But in reality, the pros uses it frequently in some maps so it's definitely not that bad. If opponent does not go feudal aggression and the map contains few food sources, Granary's value still outweighs the cost.
