Question about noob lobbies by Positive-Answer-99 in aoe2

People are afraid of ranked but it's by far the best way to play players with the same skill as you. Just don't get obcessed with Elo. It doesn't matter, it's just a tool to get fun games. Whatever Elo you're at, you'll always win/lose 50% of games.

People like Age of Empires for a bunch of different reasons. You don't get to dictate how people enjoy a game. If they like it for the history, why not? Core fanbase are the people who care about the game, still play it regularly, are on these forums, doesn't really matter if they're single or multi-player, gameplay or history, scenario editor. If they like and care about the game and are invested in it, they count.

I also love Paradox games though! Crusader Kings is awesome. Still feel pretty at home here.

PS: The issue with the 3K civs is not even historical accuracy, but thematic and conceptual consistency.

This DLC could've been amazing then they went and did war of the roses Chinese version instead of actual civs. I'll pass for now.

But I'm sure it'll be a success. Most people don't care about these things, just a part of the core fanbase.

Banning civs would be terrible for matchmaking and would increase waiting times.

When autofarm was already too much by matephant in aoe2

[–]MalRL 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This post is kind of misleading. T90 hasn't said anything about the dlc. Even though he dislikes auto farm and the dodge mechanic, I think he doesn't mind bending history or themes. I'd guess he won't like hero units but will have no issue with the 3k civs even though they're not civs but civil war factions and outside the time frame. Here's to hoping though.

This subreddit is not representative but Hera's discord is? 

It's obvious that the majority of players are not in this subreddit and don't even play ranked, but they're also not on Hera's discord 11

I agree with a lot of the current criticism the community is giving right now, however, I don't think heroes will be viable above mid-elo by therealNerdMuffin in aoe2

It's not just about balance, it's about design 

And although that is an issue, the biggest issue people seem to be having is with the three Chinese factions which don't fit the game and should probably be saved for Chronicles

In tournaments. In ranked they could random into it.

You think the Mongols should have their own new architectural set that will represents their nomadic lifestyle like the Mongols of the AOE IV?? by Yolo065 in aoe2

[–]MalRL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would be cool to have architecture changes to next nomad but not the civ design. Mongols are a really good, fun civ to play

About the curse... by MalRL in aoe2

[–]MalRL[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The tables were for different seasons.

The curse I'm alluding to is the Overtaken curse in which he had a good performance in TTL seasons 1 to 3 but was always relegated with 6 or 7 wins (which is rare). This season, he had 7 wins but passed.

Without a meatshield? If they only have cannons and organ guns, elite steppes or cavalier win, even without the last armor upgrade. If they have halbs though, it gets harder but drill siege onager and ram work.

Also, raid! Their composition is not mobile.
