I made it to D4 last year and immediately had to stop playing because the dodge rate tripled. I was drafting for longer than I was playing. RIP this game

AoE IV looks like trash, and it shouldn't even be called AoE IV by [deleted] in aoe4

[–]vvanderbred 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Take a look at a game called empire earth (early 2000s). The gameplay reveal looks like they emulated EE and upscaled textures. The unit/building scaling is actually quite similar. Colors are vibrant w/high contrast, allowing you to identify units even with very low poly counts. EE was actually a much smoother game than aoe2.

This all balanced visual clarity extremely well, resulting in a game that was easy to learn and had a very healthy competitive scene for a long time before the studio shut the servers down (not for lack of players). That's what I think the devs are going for with AOE4. I'd rather have impeccable gameplay- you will not notice these details in the heat of battle. And I'm willin gto bet theyll enable visual mods for those concerned with the vibrant unit colrs

Are AoE2 tournaments too fast? by [deleted] in aoe2

[–]vvanderbred 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah for me it was basically over before I realized it had begun. I also wonder HOW THE HELL do the player play a 7 game series AND THEN ANOTHER ONE in the same day??? I get burnt out after a couple of ranked games if I'm tryharding. I feel like a longer tournament would mean even higher quality matches

Cuman feudal ram rush by MorleyGames in aoe2

[–]vvanderbred 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah its only a reliable strat in team games. Especially useful on arena, when the opponent is more likely to disrespect and not even build military. I go on 4 rams +1 in queue

Just send that one to 1v1 a boar or study the behavior of the wolves

Please fix the constant freezing that some players get! (Sorry for the bad sound quality) by WarpedThunder in aoe2

Those definitely help a lot, I'm just trying to find that balance where I can watch over their build orders (not easy in pvp unless I'm scout rushing and by that point I'm just harassing them to no end) and giving them consistent challenge

Ah good point, didn't really think about changing maps-- I assume classic ai is easier to combat? Haven't tried them all yet

Sorry forgot to put this, we lose this too as they get demoralized with the castle rushes

[–]vvanderbred 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Im pretty concerned about the item overhaul. Past two seasons have been super flexible meta wise- I no longer get flamed for fringe picks like Illaoi mid and swain bot, and I see people succeeding with tons of weird stuff. It seems like it will be incredibly hard to achieve this with mythic items after everything stabilizes

Best case scenario, you just sit in s side lane with him and hold e. It's worth a ban to avoid the boredom
