Counting the Raven as a unit is very much a squint and turn your head sideways kind of thing. Yeah, it’s technically a unit in the same way Sacred Deer are, but I don’t think it’s fair to say the Norse have the same number of units as the Romans at Age 3 because of the Raven. It’s a temporary...

That all I was asking. Just the consideration, nothing more. I appreciate it. :)

That’s a bummer. I figured it was a long shot, but thought I’d throw it out there. I’m not trying to argue the point here, but I am curious. How does a vanity helm changing the direction of the crests violate some kind of sacred cow in a game where my archers currently have snowmen heads...

Yes! That’s the word. Sorry. I’ve been working twelve hour days for two months now, and it’s made me stupid.

I’ve never uploaded pictures before, so forgive any issues please. The first image shows four units, facing forward. The two on the left, the Gastraphetes and the Prodomos, have the Laurels in their helmets in the style I like, the two on the right, the Hippikon and Hoplite, do not. The...

Yeah, I’ll try to take a screenshot later.

I’m not Carthage’s biggest fan, but I admit there are some intriguing ideas here. The Naval emphasis is really cool and appropriate, but as the devs mentioned in one of the Roman blogs, naval is a tricky part of Civ design. A Civ strong on the water would need weaknesses elsewhere to balance it...

So, I wanted to make a (hopefully) small request for a very specific and odd piece of vanity gear. The laurels on Greek helmets. A lot of them run front to back, face to rear, like you see in Greek Spearman or Hypaspists now . Some run side to side, shoulder to shoulder, like the treasure...

You flatter me with your kind words. I simply enjoy theorycrafting more than is remotely healthy is all. I play Magic, and enjoy the deck building process almost more than the game itself. Daydreaming about potential Civs is what part of what hooked me on this game in the first place. Regarding...

Babylon not having one has always felt incredibly bizarre to me.

I like this idea. I love Advisor units and would love to see them used more. Ones that fill gaps in the roster like your suggestions or Celtic Headhunters are my favorite. I think it’d be cool if the team revisited Advisor units, creating Epic only Advisor units for the Babylonians and Norse...

This is an interesting thread, I’m very excited to see what discussions turn up. I’m a tad biased myself, I’d very much like to see a Civ that wasn’t based around the Mediterranean region. I know the Norse sort of aren’t, but they’re still European, so I’m counting them. I’ll add a few thoughts...

An item search?! I am in love. Phenomenal.

Persians only have one tower upgrade currently, in the Silver Age. Every other Civ except for the Celts has two tower upgrades, one in Silver and another in Gold. This patch is reintroducing the Golden Age upgrade to Persia in PvP, but not PvE.

What’ll it take to get that tower tech over into PvE? What if I promise to try 1 PvP match? I’ll make it five if you bring in that Celtic Wall upgrade too.

Swweeeeeeetttttt

Seconded. This really bothers me.

I have faith that Rome will end up balanced and viable, I’m just a naturally pessimistic individual and feel that many of my peers would like Rome to be the best at everything, so I often feel a need to provide a dissenting voice. I’ve been involved in so many “Legionaries should have a ranged...

I am.... not crazy about a lot going on in this post. I will start by saying the models are fantastic. The Clinicus animations are greats, and the towers look like natural evolutions of the prior two towers. That being said, there are some things mentioned in this post that I find concerning...

China has been my most desired Civ since Day 1 of AoEO. Southeastern Asian culture has always fascinated me so much.
