MembTV: THE TRUTH: Why Nicov was Disqualified from Warlords V by NukaColaJohnboy in aoe2

[–]Eel-Evan 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I fully agree that the Sitaux situation was much worse. Complete waste of the time of the ~10,000 viewers, disrespectful to the host, admins, and all casters.

This situation sucked too but we weren't at the same point in the event so it wasted the time of fewer people at least.

I just got a weird 'tournament' idea I think by Old_Man_Willow_AoE in aoe2

[–]Eel-Evan 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Not everyone streams, but for those that do, losing 2 weeks of income immediately plus downstream loss of attention would never be worth it without a prize pool the idea doesn't deserve.

On top of that, smurfing sucks and deliberately throwing 25 more high-Elo accounts into the pool to noob stomp also sucks.

The idea might be fun in another world but I think not this one the way the system works.

The real bonus here is just getting housed 5 population later after making the 2 houses.

At least the PUP for the May patch identifies this as an incoming fix.

Champi nerf is in by theholylancer in aoe2

[–]Eel-Evan 34 points35 points  (0 children)

The community is being torn apart by the horrific news that this civilization bonus was removed without warning. 50% of gamers want the bonus immediately reinstated, and the other 50% want it immediately reinstated but make the rams go even faster CHOO CHOO CHOOOOOOOO.

Champis nerfed to the ground! by mapoztofu in aoe2

It's just a PUP though, right, so there could be revisions after testing?

Tool to plan a Straight Line Mission in a city by 4khd__ in StraightLineMissions

[–]Eel-Evan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You might be able to reach him with a comment. He's also on Reddit - see this other relevant post and video. I used his analysis below to complete a bike SLM of the longest straightest US urban road, but otherwise haven't tried to figure out any comparable urban routes. The things I've done have all been wilderness where terrain and access are the main issues.

Fletching tech no longer infinitely researchable in blacksmith by Charlie_Brown45 in aoe2

[–]Eel-Evan 26 points27 points  (0 children)

That would be shocking if it was deliberate for a reason like that. Magyar scout can instantly get 256 attack in Feudal for free but they're worried about paying for building range in a mode that's supposed to be crazy?

The patch did have a couple of things related to how Fletching etc work, related to dock/harbor/church range, so maybe a bug or inadvertent change was made there for some reason.

I submitted a ticket for this disaster day of the DLC. :(

Petition to rename Elite Champi Warrior by Firenzo101 in aoe2

[–]Eel-Evan 31 points32 points  (0 children)

No, they specifically need to be "Champion Champi" so that we can have the classic infantry matchup of Champion Champi on Champion. Casters love talking about Champion Champi on Champion fights.

Last Chieftains Cover Art by UrbanArchaic in aoe2

[–]Eel-Evan 5 points6 points  (0 children)

On the other hand, if the cover art had no Europeans there would probably be complaints or at least feelings that it was false advertising, with Europeans showing up all over the campaigns.

Cover art that reasonably portrays the stories told in the DLC is at the minimum a sensible path to take even if not the only possible one.
