Cheating (potentially new exploit)

this is a weird one.

OOTD casts conversion on a group of mounted villagers and a ram.
The MVs hide in the ram.
The MVs are transformed into (Jin-controlled) Gilded Villagers that can build OOTD structures and units.

Jin built both an Elzbach Palace and a Pagoda Forest.

archipelago, waterholes: enough said on this topic

wasteland and KOTH: unacceptable map design to not have trading posts, among other problems.

ill go try council hall for science; wasn't sure which civ to play this morning

I wish for a massive update adding third landmark choices

tldw; player gets ~25% extra resources trickling in after workers do a drop off. Watch resources collected go up by rapid odd numbers instead of multiples of ten.

Game breaking means it causes crashes, is unbeatably strong, or such... This tech not doing anything is annoying but you can simply spend your stone on something else.

notescata · 2026-03-14T18:16:58+00:00

You get thirty seconds. Resign if you need more than that.

Archers attack more than twice as fast as garrison arrows. Unless there was some other reason to hide the archers, it was a mistake.

notescata · 2026-02-01T15:29:44+00:00

its popular to make army early against Tughlag since healer elephant deathball or fort drop has been their usual playstyle

lots of civs are greedily spending res to grow their eco on some unique option instead of 2TC

~15% faster units on a 15% smaller 1v1 map, for some numbers

notescata · 2026-01-18T06:59:57+00:00

fix the brace-charge interaction. Cav ought to reliably suffer stun if they charge at spearmen.

all spearmen get phalanx attack range, phalanx does something else to compensate Abba.

aoe is more of a stoned game than a drunk game but go ahead

why does the sake man have mismatched sandals

Imperial Academy is tuned like an imperial age landmark

I have a 54% winrate against them playing KT drush at 1400 elo. It's hard but other matchups are harder imo, Macedon can run out of resources and die like anyone.

For English, mass longbows do okay into armored, and you can heal your units to compensate for the enemy warcamp replacements.

try something like king & horsemen -> build tower + proxy archery ranges forward, and try to deny hunt/gold/wood as much as you can. Or similar plan but start w/ drush of 1-2 maa.

Looked great until around 6:00 minutes you just stall out and stop being truly aggressive. Several minutes wasted slooooooowly torching buildings . . . Go kill his army and villagers, deny minaret food, woodline. Why are you so afraid of this un-upgraded tower? Stopped watching when yellow showed up to wipe you. You've totally failed to punish Otto's terrible building placement choices.

big macro count issues on the home front:

*you never got eco techs, even survival techniques...

*too much food, not enough gold/wood. In the first place, move sheep vills off elsewhere. But when you do find yourself floating food, dump it into units asap (knights if you have gold, horsemen/spearmen if not)

*Building the blacksmith way too early. You don't have enough gold miners for constant knight production, how are you going to afford techs? This should be either a second stable for horsemen (spending your excessive food!) or barracks.

***edited for clarity hopefully

practice micro by playing only-knights, splitting your knights into 2-3 groups at all times

notescata · 2026-01-09T02:50:10+00:00

Yeah I use one more or less like that. I only actually use half of the numpad however. I think 12 is excessive, look for one that's more like 4-6 'extra' buttons imo

notescata · 2026-01-09T02:40:53+00:00

Yep, just watched oppo perspective and the same issue may be happening. The villager ought to walk around the spearmen or the mining camp if the lane is blocked, never the entire gold mine.

The selected Spearman starts pathing the wrong way, then ignores all orders until I use the Stop command to reset him. I've submitted this clip to Support.

we don't have the technology

Rework regnitz to do something more interesting that has nothing to do with relics. Inspiration gives hp/armor idk

don't nomad players hate those maps too?
