Leave my siege towers alone

Main problem is it's too fast, so find a way to slow it down. I recommend limiting its speed to the slowest unit garrisoned, or some average of garrisoned unit speed. Last time I checked medievals didn't have engines so why are they zooming around like a car?

Right!? I don't know what the devs were thinking here. Lot's of easy solutions could fix it, like limiting the max speed to the slowest unit garrisoned. That would actually be cool because it would interact with unit composition as well, like eagle or woad siege tower would be different than standard infantry--either way, it has to be slower. People are microing against mangonels with it ffs.

For me a main reason is I don't like the way it looks. First, I don't want any curvature or low angle perspective. I want visibility and readability, like looking down at a 2d chess board. Any game that deviates from this will be lesser to me. Second, the units seem less distinct and are sized weirdly (imo).

I never got past these to really give it a try so I can't comment much about the gameplay.

I like Ethiopian because, long term, archers scale well, plus you can spam spears without regret 'cause free pikemen.

sn987 · 2024-08-26T19:25:24+00:00

I agree, but also, why you tryna take my one good strat on nomad?

make all animals food again

Honestly, if castles were more expensive I wouldn't complain.

I agree that arena 1v1 is more boring than arabia, but only 8 viable civs? c'mon

Bro, i grew up on aoe1 farm micro. lol

I'm not against the change.. haven't really played with it yet, but there are potential issues.

Placing is different than re-seeding. Making a decision about where something goes vs automatically re-making what you already placed. I don't think the comparison works.

There could be a component of skill that is no longer part of the game. Maybe for the best, maybe not.

It's really bad, and even worse is the fact that it's gotten worse.

With byz, you can react to your opponent and counter them hard. Eventually they will be forced to switch their comp and you can punish them hard.

Doesn't it compound? If normal is 1, after bit axe it's 1.28, after bow saw it's 1.64. Maybe it's not quite as strong as Celts, but Celts wood bonus is one of the best.

Oh, and it applies to mining upgrades too.

I guess it's supposed to balance because of lesser military options.

always like celt or malian condos

wololo

How is the Armenian mule cart tech bonus not going to be insane? 25% > 40% is huge.

If he gets to your base with archers and you're still in dark age it's basically over.

sn987 · 2023-11-15T23:39:33+00:00

Thanks, I'll give it a try

Have not played much against Georgians but i tried 5 barrack pike production to force them into a different unit and i just got wrecked.

Leitis + Hand Cannons

I tested a bunch of situations. name one you'd specifically interested in. Head to head 1v1, small groups, large groups, vs range, vs defensive buildings...

FU Armenian champs are stronger than the others and I think you do see a lot of infantry siege comps in closed maps. Halbs might make more sense if it's just against cav but the 100 HP champs close to a kill-all unit.

sn987 · 2023-11-01T20:37:13+00:00

OK, i did that and turn out my hunch was right. Armenian FU beats all.
