My only hope is that when we finally release this mammoth campaign, you all take your time with it, complete everything, read everything, and not blast through it. We are putting a lot of work into the storyline as told piecemeal through the Quest Givers. Normally, I don’t think many people pay...

I mean balance between the player v. the AI. The more we buff the players, the easier the quests become and the less interesting they become. In order to keep players playing, we’d then need to create an entire generation of harder and harder quests.

This is a really cool post. I’m curious now what’s up with the name.

You all would want us to meddle with quest balance to the point of making buffed Wonders? Seems risky. Lots of purists would grumble, no?

Unfortunately, we know almost nothing specific about the founding of Rome. Evidence varies. The Romans themselves tended to subscribe to different legends (Romulus and Remus on the one hand and Aeneas of Troy on the other). Around 0 CE the Greek historian Strabo claimed Rome was originally a...

We are fans of Age of Empires Online and are developing a civ that fits into this game. To do so, we are literally following the plans of the folks who created this game in the first place. AoEO blends history and fantasy. AoEO paints in broad brushstrokes, looks at history through a funhouse...

Whelp, then I guess the Romans aren’t for you. We can’t please them all.

If your map is incorrect by not including enough Greek influence and my map is incorrect by including too much Roman influence, it sounds like in order for us to agree with your conclusion, we first need to agree that both maps are incorrect.

Did any of our seven civs have significant interactions with China or Japan?

erm, OK. Diocletian stepped down as Emperor in 305 CE. This map shows the extent of the Romans at their height about 200 years before. If this is not evidence of the Romans shining, then I suppose we aren't going to agree on very much.

How would Trebuchets be different from Palintonons?

We don’t have a way to increase the drop rates of a single item. The loot tables don’t work that way, unfortunately. To get a MAG, you first need to play a quest that contains them in its loot table. These are only Project Celeste legendary quests (not original legendary or alliance quests)...

It is certainly possible, though we are only looking at one civ at a time. What civ do you think would make the most sense to do next?

Everyone wants the game to be its best, and I appreciate these posts. We just disagree on the benefits of directly selling max items for EP. that was absolutely terrible game design, which we created and fixed as soon as we could. We replaced it with random leg boxes, so players can still use...

We aren’t turning those cut units into advisor units because the time required to make each unit does not justify the relatively small usefulness of advisor units.

Thankfully, whether one account has really good or really bad gear has absolutely no effect on whether I am able to solo a legendary. So we can remove fairness from the analysis. That leaves just the question of whether it benefits this game to allow and encourage players to horde EP and spend...

We are knocking on the gates of Rome!

We’ve always considered it. It’s just a giant technical mess to install it. Please all feel free to help!

You were dreaming, Exclusiv0r. We gotta let the existing civs have their specialties.
