    Legendary Boots

    Good day all, I was wondering if we could get some Legendary speed boosting boots added to the game? I know they aren’t as great as some other options in that slot, but I really like kitting my Celts out for speed. Thank you for your consideration, Fraxure

    Beat it on the first try. Thanks again.

    Help - The Hideout

    Thank you for that video! It’s very informative. I will be trying out a similar strategy when I get off work tonight.

    Help - The Hideout

    Good day forum-goers, I was hoping to get some advice on beating the third introductory mission of the Realms of the Worlds quest pack, I.E the Hideout. That massive wave of Berserkers just annihilates me. My civs are level 40. Any Civ-specific advice would be nice, I’m struggling the most...

    Weekly Blog #8: Fortress, Praetorium, Centurion

    You guys do great work. You really have no idea how much this game means to me. I hope my mild criticism of the charge on Legionaries doesn’t diminish that. I am very, very excited for Rome, and every Saturday ups the excitement.

    It doesn’t matter what you were referring to with Immortals. The fact is that Immortals, alongside many, many other units in this game, were designed, in part, based off of how pop culture sees them. Age of Empires Online is not a historically accurate game. If it was, the Norse wouldn’t be in...

    Weekly Blog #8: Fortress, Praetorium, Centurion

    I’m not sure if it is your intent, but your tone and the cursing are coming off as very aggressive. There’s no need for that, we are having a disagreement over a video game. It’s not earthshattering material here. I will agree that I’m not crazy about the Legionaries having a charge ability...

    Weekly Blog #8: Fortress, Praetorium, Centurion

    So it is your position that the Legionaries, the Roman T2 Swordsman equivalent, should have a ranged attack comparable to the Persian Immortal, a charge like the Celtic Woad Raider and an officer unit like the Norse Chief, in order to properly capture Roman flavor? I’m sorry, but I strongly...

    Weekly Blog #8: Fortress, Praetorium, Centurion

    It’s not “wrong” at all. We do not know the rest of the Roman design, so we do not know how the Legionaries fit into the grand scheme of things. You have not addressed the fact that having the Legionaries use a ranged attack does in fact step on the toes of the Persian Immortal, the Persian’s...

    If they gave the Legionnaire that ability, it would play too similar to Persian Immortals. I get that people are excited about Rome, I am too, but it shouldn’t get all the toys the other civs have. Immortals are arguably the most iconic unit in the Persian arsenal, giving an Immortal style unit...

    OLD TECH TREE FROM ORIGINAL GAME!

    I was one of the most vocal opponents when GPG changed the tech tree back in the day (Any of you forum lurkers remember Raveneth? That was me.), but it won me over. I think people forget a lot of stuff that was added. Champion upgrades were the last in a line of upgrades units could get...

    Even your own music? That’s really neat. This is the most professional community developed game I have ever seen. Keep up the great work.

    Weekly Blog #5: Age II Town Center, Scout, Watch Post

    I dig the town center. I know a couple people were kind of down on the T1 version, but honestly, that’s the version you spend the least time looking at, and it’s supposed to be kind of sparse. This one is starting to look very Roman. Nice work. I’m very curious as to how y’all are handling...

    Color Selection

    Good Day all, and Happy Father’s Day to you dads out there. I was wondering if there’s a way to implement color selection into the game, perhaps via the option menu? I don’t mind blue personally, as it’s my favorite color, but being stuck with blue or teal gets old after a while. Plus, my wife...

    Weekly Blog #3: Roman Castellum and Legionaries

    You guys do great work. With all the talk Microsoft’s been putting out about Age of Empires recently, I’m concerned about the possibility of a C&D order. I pray that doesn’t happen. Thank you for reviving my favorite game. I love these design blogs. One of my favorite things about this game has...

    Error: Server Offline!

    I should not that the link considers my proxy a "Compromised Server". Can anyone translate what that means?

    Error: Server Offline!

    I have verified that, at least in my internet setting, I am not set to use a proxy server. Anyone have any idea why the link is sending back a positive? I'm not very tech literate with this kind of stuff.

    Error: Server Offline!

    It does say "Yes". How do I correct this? EDIT: Also, thank you for the prompt reply. I really appreciate your time.
