“Coming in the next few weeks will be a June Public Update Preview on Steam showcasing a new update – and one that’s been long-awaited and oft mentioned in forums. We look forward to your feedback…”
Ok, this intrigued me. Day and night cycle?? More AOTG chapters?? Tooggle wonders in lobby?? What do you, forum people think? I love these guessing games! haha
I think it is the wonder option. I wish they did some rethinking with wonderage, They should sort of rework it so it does kind of work as a timer. right now the moment you build the wonder you immediately get all of the insane bonuses.
Although wonder was probably designed as a game ending building, I wish it kind of acted like a timer. like giving bonuses on a time based period, or like making god powers cheap but empowering them with each cast. design it in a way that if the enemy team failed to do anything about it for 5 minutes they would reach the point of no return.
but if they add the lobby option for wonder that would also be good. I didn’t ask for it. I don’t have much problems with the current wonder system in fact I like it alot. But any sort of customizablilty for custom lobbies is a welcome change.
The building of the Wonder is effectively a countdown timer though, right? It takes a lot of investment and a long time to build.
I would like to see them reinclude the Wonder Victory as an option.
I see they finally made predatory animals attack on their own, but with their small aggro range they are effectively blind.
While the Spearman buffs were welcome for Set & Isis, it created problems in certain matchups like against Norse, who relied heavily on raiding cavalry to help deal with the Egyptian barracks army. Transitioning the spearman more into a generalist infantry (similar anti-cav potential as before the previous patch), but bulking them up to be more pop efficient this way they can still function as a good frontliner.
Am I missing something? The changes were:
- Damage reduced vs cav
- Cost increase
- Train time increased
No “bulking up” occurred.
Shame oracles auto-scouting did not get fixed. Though I am guessing the patch was already submitted to consoles for testing by the time I reported that a couple weeks back. Hopefully they fix it in in a hot-fix or the next patch.
I’m loving the new patch. It’s great for casual console players like myself. The new settings for the AI are fun to play against. The new UI for picking AI difficulty and personality is really nice as well. It explains everything in the new menu’s which I really appreciate. Also the bug fixes are huge for having a more stable game.
Its refering to the previous patch where they got more health.
