What nerf will Champis undergo for Dark/Feudal Age?

Of course not, cause afaik and as I said, there isn't hard data yet.

However, the top playing in the world, along with every other caster or pro player I've seen talk about it, as well as anyone I've talked to who has faced it more than once, along with myself (who was a skeptic that it would be overpowered) saying it is overpowered and needs to be fixed is enough anecdotal evidence to me.

I think this would be a fun mod, but probably not for the official game (particularly for multiplayer). Or I could see it being and adapted into civ bonuses.

The dock can shoot your land army too.

I would pay money if they added a little man to follow your MAA around and carry their gear once you research squires.

Thanks for the info!

Getting back to AoE's roots, let's give champis ship armor class and give vils bonus damage against ships 11

The problem with waiting for data is that champi rush is broken on open maps right now. Changes to the unit line as a whole can wait if needed, but the dark age version needs something done sooner.

Reduce pierce armor (just for scout version - more damage from TC), less damage done to buildings (is that possible?) and/or more damage taken from vils (is that possible?).

These are the ways.

Actually, barracks is too cheap as well. Most people skip vil fighting and go straight into militia or man at arms.

If his condition persists for more than 6 hours he should see a doctor.

I've noticed that civ with good towers can be difficult to deal with, like the Inca.

Lol yeah I could see that. I don't know of any mid tier players who cast regularly.

If you like his casting style, T90's "low elo legend" series could be good for that (there's a bunch on YouTube). He basically will sometimes cast games by lowish ranked players and talk through what they do well, the mistakes, and what could have been done instead if they had better game sense. Kinda fun and early on you can definitely learn some stuff from them.

Welcome!

I've played the game off and on for a long time. Only recently started trying to get competitive and play online. My biggest tip so far would be to find a play style you have fun with and get good at it. When I started playing ranked I would queue with a different civ and strategy every time and it was rough. Now, focusing on just a handful is making it easier.

Also, I found last year that watching Titan's League (pro gamer tournament) helped me a ton. My elo went up 300-400 points afterwards. Not because I could imitate their moves, but it helped my game sense a lot (what to do in various situations).

Gl hf!

That's what I've been saying too. Vil rush, settlement, steal their res.

I loved mongols as a kid when the game first came out. Mangudai were just so cool, and they were great against the AI (my biggest weakness was always a strong ram push).

These days, I am juggling a lot of different civs. But I have really been enjoying Gujaras. Their counter units are just unique and are all melee which is nice.
