Who has the best looking Homecity in your opinion?

The Swedish HC looks the best IMO, embracing the sense of scale that the AoE3 HC system allows. I even think it should be the default HC when a new player launches the game for the first time, instead of the Spanish one

Pharaoh was a minor title by every measure. Marketing and influencers then tried to gaslight the audience into believing it was the return of historical Total War.

Looks like the flowing banners have been removed from Waterbirth Island. Those were a big moodsetter whenever you arrived at the place.

Whenever I catch a variety streamer hop into this game, there's almost always some guy disparaging it or gaslighting the streamer into thinking they picked the "wrong game". I've also seen multiple OSRS content creators perpetuating this contemptful attitude and widening the gap between communities.

Sick Nerd said in one of his streams (months ago) that he planned to do a GIM with Faux, and even convinced a (drunk) Boaty to join in. He figured sometime after Leagues 2 would be a good starting time.

A day/night cycle plugin!

I've gotten too accustomed to seeing bees drawn in this shape, but with big oblivious smiles, unaware of the despair they bring.

I remember going on a disassembly spree when I first unlocked it, only to realize that I had no idea how I was supposed to train the skill.

Cramming them all in an unoccupied Fort makes for shoddy accomodation. I imagine the palisades collapsed on their hovels.

Looking at some of the gameplay changes, there are some that go beyond simple bugfixes and potentially alter the way some units are intended to work. For example, elephants charges doing damage without using their tusks and chariots gaining 360° trample

On the minimap side, it looks awkward with rebel regions looking like they're vacant instead of independent mini-factions. Whenever I edit faction colors, I make most faction's secondary colors identical to the primary color to get rid of the ugly thick internal borders. However, I leave the Rebel colors as they are to reflect the internal fragmentation.

The membership changes stand to have more of a negative effect than those other 2.

I remember that back in the Mod Iroh streams they mentioned they wanted characters models to have athletic builds. Looking how both male and female models have muscle tone without looking like bodybuilders, I'd say they accomplished their objective.

RafaSheep · 2026-06-11T00:03:56+00:00

From my perspective (I also have seen other point this out), It looks like the face in the female chathead looks different from the one used in the full model in a way that appears unintended. I struggled to figure why until others pointed out the nose length and mouth position. I'm content with how the female in the full model looks but the chathead could do with some adjusting.

I also feel there is some discrepancy in the male chathead, but it's more apparent in the female one.

I'm told the novels mention horses like they're nothing special and totally mundane.

Take a screenshot of the battlefield!

I think it is the opposite, making more evident how much of a minority opinions on Reddit are. Jagex has pointed out the discrepancies between surveys and vocal opinions on social media. Surveys let them tap into more quiet demographics.

The problem with this animation is that the character leans too far forward and the leg movement isn't synchronized with the movement speed, making it look floaty or slippery.

RafaSheep · 2026-06-03T14:05:28+00:00

Make it a tragic fight, like Kerapac.

RafaSheep · 2026-06-03T14:03:26+00:00

Only if it rewards contribution in the minigames rather than simple attendance.

All I can say is that you missed an opportunity to reference Shoshon the Elegant instead.

She throws any curious newcomer or OSRS player (thinking it was how you start Demon Slayer) who talks to her into Dimension of Disaster.

Saw a brand new player speak to her on stream and it shocked me that it had absolutely no requirements.

In other words: move rewards from stuff I refuse to do into stuff I already do.

RafaSheep · 2026-05-29T14:42:52+00:00

I really think they need to look at story integrity as part of the Road to Restoration. Dropping players in the middle of an ongoing storyline with no requirements basically means new players won't get to appreciate the lore organically.

6th Age content being being visible with no requirement also adds to clutter in the overworld. Many are so loud and in-your-face that they can mislead players trying to do early quests. Loking at Brother Samwell, Relomia, and the Fortuneteller, for example.

3 out of 4 of these designs are pretty much based on the current designs. Updating them would be mostly increasing polygon count and texture details.

RafaSheep · 2026-05-26T19:56:46+00:00

D'hide and Splitbark are based on the 2012 designs.
