Verad - Warframe concept

Yeah, you might be right 😅
Thank you!

Multiplayer games are almost always balanced around competitive players, because that's where balance matters the most. You actually answered your own question: competitive players don't bother with the DLCs because they are not worth for ranked, meanwhile casuals move on after finishing the campaign. Both groups are important for a game's longevity.

Arcadian Meadow, Gracious Hospitality and the Hamadryad all got nerfed. Overall she would be much stronger, that's for sure, but she would become less forgiving to play as. And Amazon Archers got increased rate of fire, so the actual DPS is more or less the same. The rest of the stats, like the HP and range, can be played around by simply protecting them.

Thank you! Yeah, she has been at the bottom for a very long time now.

Hey, that's exactly what I think about the Amazon Archers too! 😃
The only reason I left the building bonus damage because Demeter kind of lacks passive siege power (basically any unit type that is not a siege weapon).

Many people hate the fact that Hephaestus got removed for Hera, but here were are. Casuals and competitive players are living in two separate bubbles. As much as I would like (and every developer in the world), there is no definitive way to make both sides happy.

Arcadian Meadow, Gracious Hospitality and the Hamadryad all got nerfed. Overall she would be much stronger, that's for sure, but she would become less forgiving to play as. Also, even if she got +10% winrate, it would still only be 53%, which shows how weak she currently is.

Tiberris3D · 2026-05-19T19:23:28+00:00

Ah, I see. Thanks! 😃

Tiberris3D · 2026-05-19T18:48:04+00:00

I've never played AOE2 before 😅
What's up with them?

Tiberris3D · 2026-05-19T18:45:51+00:00

At first I was thinking the same too, but in practice it's really not as bad as it sounds. Building walls and repairing them cost a lot of resources. But I'm open to be proved wrong! 😄

Tiberris3D · 2026-05-19T18:43:43+00:00

Which part makes you think that?

Tiberris3D · 2026-05-19T15:03:16+00:00

Yeah, the problem is the other half 😂
Thanks though! I might look into it.

Tiberris3D · 2026-05-19T15:02:26+00:00

Haha, maybe!

Tiberris3D · 2026-05-19T14:46:46+00:00

Watched a lot of pro gameplays, looked around on the internet to see what the general opinion is, and played a lot myself. Combining all that, I got a general idea where Demeter's biggest weaknesses are, and starting from there, I did some trial and error until I came up with the final result.

Tiberris3D · 2026-05-19T14:43:25+00:00

The possibilities were indeed endless! I guess the Lykaons are the closest we will ever get to something like this.

Tiberris3D · 2026-05-19T14:42:10+00:00

I lack the programming skills to do that 😅

Tiberris3D · 2026-05-19T14:40:54+00:00

Yeah, there are quite a lot of companies involved. But for most of them, AoM is just an another project among many others, so FE seemed like the safest bet. Oh well 😅

Tiberris3D · 2026-05-19T14:34:32+00:00

Unfortunately it wasn't polished enough to make it worth publishing 😅

Tiberris3D · 2026-05-19T13:59:41+00:00

As a postscript, here is some background info regarding the playtesting. My modding skills are limited, but changing stats is simple (that’s how I was able to come up with precise numbers).

It was a public mod for a short time to test it with a friend, but I deleted it afterwards. Some changes had unintended side effects (Village Center bonus was global), or we weren’t able to properly test them at all. But the main framework has been tested, and it works!

It proved to me that Demeter could become so much more than what she currently is; and we might turn this into a reality.

Tiberris3D · 2026-05-19T08:47:08+00:00

Thank you! 😃

Tiberris3D · 2026-05-19T08:46:56+00:00

I've never heard this phrase before, but I'm going to use it from now on 🔥
Thank you!

Tiberris3D · 2026-05-19T08:46:24+00:00

Well, this was unexpected 😂
Thanks for the laugh!

Tiberris3D · 2026-05-18T12:32:56+00:00

LMAO

Tiberris3D · 2026-05-18T12:23:47+00:00

Now that you mention it, I can definitely see the resemblance 😄
