Age of Mytholoy Retold Balance  

Good point about skill difference. What are you refering to with blobbing? I know some definitions, none apply to AoM. I think a changelog is difficult. Because people will nitpick instead of seeing it as a first draft with a direction in mind.

@@ikosaeder3625 blobbing would be the act of having all the military units bunched up to together (In a blob, if you will) and rolling around the map destroying everything in its path. As you can imagine it can be a very effictive strategy, reduced micro requirements, focusing the power into a small point, etc. While it has its uses, if a person relies on it as a strategy too much it leaves them open to direct counters (frost, fire giant, implode) or indirect (raids, base trades). The units may also not be used to best efficiency depending on pathfinding or overkill.

League of legends balance should never be an example to follow ever. On the contrary, it should be an example to avoid.

@@juliusm5900 Since when do you play lol?

We need to be able to build more houses I would say. Either that or have 3 Settlements as a deault on every map with additionals that you might want to claim. I think higher house population is what they should go for.

disagree. if the rules of the game have to be changed every month, if new content has to be added on a schedule to make the game fun, fair and interesting? Thats just a bad game flat out. A bad game.

So siege works as a building would only be relevant for siege towers? That's quite inconsistent, because Egypt selling point is to have a separate building. I see more of a problem that when comparing to other long ranged siege units, the Egypt Catapult has a population value of 5 (but costs 4 pop) and is more resource efficient as well.

Steam is called Extended Edition, presented secondly at 2:24 as "Extended Edition Patch 2.8". EE has a smaller but still active multiplayer community, especially when Meta-Plays host their tournaments. Voobly has more high level players. A lot of players swap between both to find opponents at any time.

I would expect a port into the aoe4 engine if anything, it can handle stuff like missing projectiles as we can see from the mangonel, and the fact there is a currently active dev team working on an aoe title in that engine means there is an obvious way to train the retold devs on it.

@@timepaintertunebird8160 if it were as straightforward then I would agree. it really depends on how much they are willing to invest in retold. i would be impressed of they did use the aoe4 engine. the reason why I suspect that the aoe3 DE engine will be the destination is because the original aoe3 was made using aom's engine. so them developing the aoe3 DE engine based on aoe3, which used the aom engine, would be a pretty easy way for them to move another game that used the same engine (aom) into the DE engine. not sure if you've played much aoe4 but there are a lot of other things missing besides missing projectiles. for instance, there's no displacement (except for bumping units). so unlike in aom where a cyclops, minotaur, or hekagigantes can make a unit fly and bounce across the ground, or in aoe3 when an artillery shot can send units flying, aoe4 has no equivalent. when an area of effect shot from great bombards hit a group of units in aoe4, they do not move. the engine does not utilize any sort of physics that causes displacement of units who are hit. aoe4 has a hard grid system built in it as well for building placement (and movement speed). this would be another adjustment for fitting aom into aoe4's engine, since aom doesn't use any sort of gridding. there's more I'm sure but these are what come to mind immediately. now, if they could make all these adjustments to fit aom into aoe4's engine, I'd be enthusiastic, because that would probably mean they would also pay more attention to aom retold, giving it frequent updates and adjustments for as long as aoe4 is relevant (since their team could easily move between the two games, like the point you are making). however, it seems like the devs tend towards what is easiest and most straightforward when it comes to these things. at least that's the impression I've gotten from playing aoe4 and watching them patch and update.

​@@anomie3299 Due to the reasons you stated, I would much prefer to see the AoE3 engine than the one from AoE4. Otherwise some of the core elements of AoM would get lost, which means you lose part of the player base. Whatever version they use, balance patches are NOT affected. Whether a unit has 20% or 30% hack armor, this is stated in a separate file and easy to change. However the removal of certain mechanics would absolutely change the game as a whole (which happens when using AoE4).

Watch my fundamentals series! :D

Yeah, but only because people didn't know how to abuse set and game knowledge was low. We were all using shit builds and had no idea what we were doing lol, even at the 1800+ level. There weren't any patches that made her worse, the meta evolved and people realized other gods were better.

The point is that I feel voobly balance patch 5.0 for the vast majority of games, I have a chance to win. So the path of removing the broken shit seems to be to be the best.

AoE2 has been doing this since it came out. New civs added with broken characteristics/strategies patch to nerf/buff things. Theres also the bigger patches like the one recently where the game has been changed to make infantry a bit more viable now.

3 words: "Get good noob" xdd jkjk lol

I saw same thing in other games.

@@zhang1750 is a bad practice for studios to brings "pros" to balance games, they don't play for fun anymore and they simplified because that's how they play,

I think you are trying to read in to something that isn't there. Look at the thumbnail

@@jerejarvinen625 I respectfully disagree, but still enjoy the content - I think patch 5.0 is an improvement on what was but further balances are needed, everyone has their bias according to play style, credit to boit for at least admitting it

Nah I just picked a game. No thought went into it haha 😅

Disagree: atlantis is good addition, china is a terrible one

What a waste to remove mythologies in age of mythology

thank god ur not a dev

It will probably be similar to the Definitive editions that the Age of Empires games got. Meaning a remake of the game.
