As a player who plays almost exclusively solo, I can currently do all Event legendary quests solo, though I spend quite a bit more time then I desire on the 3 star quests (The first and last time I've solo'd Paint the Town Dead took an hour to do, and that was with downing 1 of the 4 AIs before...

PvE boom revolves almost entirely around Caravans - in PvE, Caravan's gold generation means that it's far more efficient to generate gold with Caravans and then buy food/wood/stone then to have Villagers acquire those same resources. This is why King Nannus is rated so highly, because you can...

The Bow is good when you can mass things together in large amounts - Towers on Crete, or any ranged unit spam. When you have large amounts of ranged units together, there will quite often be high amounts of overkill on single targets. By reducing the damage dealt but increasing the firing rate...

No. Clubs currently do NOT drop from any chest in the game - It's just that there are club items in the game files that's used by several AI units (Bandit, Clubman, several variations of Chieftains)

I believe that if you hold down a modifier, i think left control key, it'll give you a pop-up to ask if you are sure you want to buy it. I think you can change the hotkey for it too directly to right-click, so you can hold down control when you want to sell fast, but otherwise it'll ask you if...

For On Your Gourd, you can just build 4-5 A3 upgraded walls in 4 of the 5 paths within 2 minutes and then AFK the rest of the game on all civs.

Yes, it is now fixed properly, and Fence Builder Bes gives full cost and build time reduction to Babylonian Stone Walls.

Greeks tend to require more of a mixed unit balance, but once you get Hippokons geared they can mow through most easy quests, it's just getting them out that's the issue. For Celts you can go with Horseman or Champions, but again both of these are later game. You'll still want to have a bit of...

To be clear, Indian's will have 2 Archery Range units and 2 Stables units - Bowman/Ranger and Turanga/Blade Chariot? It seems that I'll need to craft a Blackened Gorget for that Chariot for sure. Can't wait for the Barracks reveal! Trying to figure out the gear gaps with what all's been...

I am once again here to report that Fence Builder Bes does NOT apply neither the Cost Reduction nor the Build Time Reduction to Babylonian Walls after researching the Stone Wall upgrade in Age 2. It does fully apply the Cost Reduction and Build Time Reduction to the Clay Walls before the upgrade...

Most older legendaries have been solo'd by players in pure Green gear, so gear isn't really the end-all be-all. You can also play on the new Champion Mode with the new quests, which essentially nullifies ANY gear on both yourself and the AI, making it all about your skill.

There's both current unit overlap (Armored Elephants and War Elephants, Celtic Longbowman and reg Bowman) as well as a bit of balancing issues (Gaesatae, for instance, are incredibly powerful due to both their high speed and their tremendous poison damage over time, with their range being the...

Yes, yes, a single perfect MAG or Athenian Manual per civ would cause the entire economy to collapse and make every single other MAG or Athenian Manual completely worthless, and Tim would finally see his dream of 20k MAGs come true. /s Though again, as I said, it's the "nuclear" option to...

It may be a decent idea to go with best-in-niche category type gear. For instance, Balanced Nets are considered to be an "allright" net for fishing boats, as it lets you get out roughly 20% more fishing boats in the early game, which can be considered on par with fishing boats gathering 20% more...

I guess you guys would rather have another variant of Athena's Long Spear? Because this kinda complaining is how you wind up with another Athena's Long Spear as a questpack reward.

I assume that India will NOT have their own unique crafting material (I.E. Roman Marble, Celtic Charcoal, ect), so will Indian vanity/warehouses use the same material lineup as Norse/Babylon/Persia capital city structures do?

In terms of the tech tree, I feel it should be the opposite - Start moving some of the PvE tech to it's PvP equivalent, and add techs that are currently Champion-mode only to PvE. While some PvE things should stay PvE (For instance, Wall techs, which are significantly nerfed in PvP, but PvP...

Make sure to have the Taxes milestone from Persia active, as it's roughly 3-400 gold generated by itself. Miner Kleon, a cheap A1 advisor, makes this significantly easier. Use your scout and spearman to take out the nearby caravans - Scout to tank the enemy spearman, your spearman kill the...

With how AoEO is designed, if you want to just "sit in base and turret up" you are going to have a hard time with essentially all quests - quests are significantly easier the faster you do them, mainly because every AI will always start in Age 1, unlike in other AoE games in which the AI can...

It was in the discord rather then the blog, PF2K's portfolio
