Dead Troops should be able to leave blood when they fight/die. It is still a game about warfare, big battles. So the map should also display that (optional toggle on/off in options maybe?)
Would be a big deal for the atmosphere in my opinion!
Isn’t this a management issue? Age restriction and all that being blocked in different countries?
The same reason total war has blood DLCs as separate entities
But in general combat needs more impact, the fights are cool but don’t feel very impactful, like a bunch of mannequins bring pushed over, as opposed to adding rag doll or blood effects
They don’t want the game to be restricted to adults by law. This would drop the sales. Otherwise you are right. Blood and decaying corpse(like aoe2) is needed badly.
There were a thousand threads about this in various beta stages of the game. It didn’t make it since then. It won’t in the future.
Sadly any gore in the vast majority of offerings from bigger publishers is either very limited or gone, doesn’t matter if that’s a shooter or a strategy.
I agree with you, it would be great to see blood, and pools of blood left after a fight, it would make the loss of large amounts of units more visible, it would probably make the player craving to manage their units even more to lose as little as possible, I went to see and I think it is possible to add blood, also because age of empire is in the pegi classification 16, hope to see it in the future
