Could we get an alternate infinite resource mode? I know, there are mods out there that do this. I in fact, make them each time there’s an update. Most of the updates anyway. It’s hard to host mods sometimes since players often fail to download the mod. A built-in mode like this would be cool. Of course this would be unranked only, no question.
What I am asking for is basically, a built-in mode that changes all resources on the map to be something like 9999999999 resources. This sort of game setting is good for scenarios (Diplo Europe for example) and could be fun for casual gamers. Instead of just having infinite resources in your bank.
Not really sure why we would want this. Is there really a big player base using this kind of mods? I dont think so. Having just a mod for this is fine.
Every time I hosted one back in AOE 2 2013 they would rapidly fill. So, there’s a large market for it. Maybe not as big as standard games, but still a lot.
I think it could be fun to have a map with an infinite gold pile in the centre, or just a few infinite trees on the map (and little other wood).
It would be cool if they could add support for such features.
I’d never play an Alternate Infinite Resource Mode game where all gold tiles are infinite.
I think you miss the point.
The infinity mode in the game right now just gives infinite ressources to all players. You dont need to gather anything. Just spam buildings and units as fast as you can click.
This thread wants a similiar mode, but where you have to gather your ressources - they just dont run out. So there is quite a difference between those two.
If it is infinite ressources or 9999999999 doesn’t matter, it is exactly the same. A game would need to last multiple years for that to run out. Just do whatever is easier to code.
Would support gameplay with resource gathering, while removing need to worry about resorce patches (trees, mines, fish, etc) running out. Resource amount should be ∞ instead of 9999999999 though. Just don’t use it in forest nothing.
I like this idea. Essentially, current unlimited resources mode is all about military and villagers as builders.
Trees and mines with forever lasting resources would on the other hand require the player to maintain a healthy villager population that can sustain military production.
I don’t play non-standard modes but I can definitely see why someone would want to play it.
