    Advisor Suggestions

    Age 3 advisors are, I feel, the most balanced of the lot - You have both powerful military advisors and strong eco advisors. However, there are a number of sadly lacking advisors in A3. Camel Whisperer Harthor - Used to be a decent advisor for Cavalry, now with Horse Whisperer Lohrasb he needs...

    Advisor Suggestions

    For Age 2, advisor selection is currently heavily influenced by the Caravan meta - Unless there’s a specific advisor for a civ (Audun), or for a specific playstyle (Gaina), or you don’t make caravans for a map, you’ll always want to use a Caravan advisor (Nannus, Dumno, ect). While I’ve made...

    With the 3rd Advisors rework coming up, I’m here to post a number of suggestions for various advisors that have been underpreforming for quite some time now in relation to other more meta advisors. Links to previous Advisor reworks...

    Indian Dev Blog #9: Mahout Camp, Elephant Archer, Vimana, Palace, Stores, and more!

    I know that Andy did a blog post a while back shortly after the release of romans which went into how they decided on which civs to pick, and an aspect going into the decision making was whether or not the civs interacted with all the existing civ, and in it was a chart that statted that there...

    Indian Dev Blog #9: Mahout Camp, Elephant Archer, Vimana, Palace, Stores, and more!

    WEEE I get to update my indian unit spreadsheet! Has the stats for the Vimana been decided on yet? What's their Champion upgrade going to be? Are they going to be 2 pop or 3 pop (Or a completely different 1 or 4 pop)? Keep Towers - Now, I'm remembering back with the Roman reveal on the Keep...

    Developer Update: Champion Mode Overhaul and Emperor Ashoka's Challenge

    Additionally, a number of champion mode quests - Age Challeges, a number of optionals on Zabol/Rhakotis quests, ect - Are now much more difficult, or impossible to complete in time due to the villager+age cost changes.

    Developer Update: Champion Mode Overhaul and Emperor Ashoka's Challenge

    Question - Are the Wonder bonuses available immediately for AI in Champion Mode quests? This would make Turanian Trouble champion mode essentially a 6-7 star quest as well as significantly boosting several Egyptian quests, as well as being a balance point for every champion mode quest going forward.

    Behind the BANG! - Caravans!

    Allright, good to see those numbers. So Caravans will provide more gold/second then Villagers on all maps solo, but generally aren't more efficient then Villagers for food/wood/stone while solo, outside of Road techs. Co-op, ofc, Caravans are far more efficient at gathering gold and generally...

    Behind the BANG! - Caravans!

    Damn, Rhakotis maps are huge, and pretty much all other maps are a lot smaller then I thought they would be. No offense, but when using Watch Posts, did you measure by diameter or radius? Pretty sure the LoS stat is the radius and not diameter - I don't remember Turanian Trouble being able to...

    Behind the BANG! - Caravans!

    Excellent spreadsheet Aryzel! With the A2/A4 portion, you can also just set up a closer market once you get the A4 tech and then delete the older market. At least half your caravan line will simply swap to using the new market with the more efficient trade line. The other half will generally go...

    Non-transferable items

    Ok, for the old items that steadily build up - You sell these items to the Vendor. As for the Persia/Norse/Babylon initial items, these have to be deleted - Drag and drop the item onto any empty space on the map to delete it There is also the Item Dismantler coming at some point in the future...

    Capital city additional building options and utility

    Adding in some vanity I want.. We recently got vanity Wells, Towers, and Wonders added - it would be nice if we could continue to get buildings like that added. Warehouses - Specifically additional copies for pure vanity purposes. A number of the smaller warehouses actually look great, but...

    Capital city additional building options and utility

    For the "mirror" thing, you can rotate buildings by using the mouse wheel while holding a building. On the topics of Workshops - They do take up a lot of space, but what you are suggesting would, I assume, require a ton of background coding. Perhaps making Workshops significantly smaller? Right...

    Non-transferable items

    Not sure what you mean - The only gear items that can't be sold nor can be traded are the Hero's Set given to Norse, Persia, and Babylon on creation. All other gear items can be sold. As for Vanity Items, yea, it would be nice to remove untradable tags from a lot of them. I deleted most of my...

    Suggestions (PvE) for Some Underused Units

    Yea, RG may be a bit lacking in the armor depart on further inspection, though again I'm not sure if pierce armor is the answer - Pretty much all bow/arrow units in the game get ~20% bonus damage vs infantry due to gear sources. On top of that, nearly every Archer typ unit has bonus damage vs...

    Suggestions (PvE) for Some Underused Units

    Now, on to other units. The first unit type in PvE that could be looked at are ranged anti-ranged units - The Takabara shows that with enough range and damage you can make a perfectly viable deathball unit out of this and similar units. Sadly, most anti-ranged ranged units are simply incredibly...

    Suggestions (PvE) for Some Underused Units

    On the topic of Royal Guards, I've brought it up on the discord and would like to bring it up here - Do Royal Guards have a larger collision or hitbox compared to most other infantry? It seems that their hitbox is a good bit larger then that of Spearman, Shieldbearers, and especially Sappers...

    Suggestions (PvE) for Some Underused Units

    First off, Cataphract's having 1 area damage wasn't my idea, it was somebody else. Just for the record. On the topic of Gastras, I would prefer both. I feel that Ptolemais should be repurposed as solely the Gastra advisor. I would remove both bonus damage portions frm Ptolemais, since between...

    PvE Quest Pack Preview: Aiding Socrates

    I'm guessing that the new wall repeatable will take the place of the specific legendary given for completion of all legendaries. Will the Champion, Elite, and Normal versions also have a one-time global for full completion like Zabol, or will it lack it like Rhakotis? Or will they also have a...

    Roman early quest : Pest control

    Pest Control is the one where you have a bunch of green ally villages and you have to defeat the enemy without allowing more then a set number of them to be destroyed yea? First, this quest is FAR easier at lvl 15 when you unlock the Golden Age, allowing you to get an extra upgrade to your...
