Absence of corpse decay was one of the reasons I’ve never bought AoE 1 DE, and it’s primary reason why I’m abstaining from buying AoE 2 DE "
this always baffles me. “hey theres this cool fun game that came out but hm… they don’t have slow corpse decay just a quick fade hmm…guess I cant buy it”
what other features could be missing, if such a crucial element of immersion was bypassed?
umm have you look at the game at all? can tell for yourself if you’re in for it instead of making guesses based on them not doing corpse decay.
like I get it you guys like the bloody battlefield with corpses but… for that to be a deal breaker when A a gore mod is one of the first things that normally get modded into a game. B while immersion is helpful…this is a game where we convert an elephants religion…can fit 10 elephants on a transport but not 11 archers…and not to mention all the techs that don’t fit with civs or aren’t included for others…but corpse decay is the game breaker? lol
I do not feel like I made a mistake not buying AoE 1 DE. They didn’t add anything to the game but graphics, and even took away the corpse decay.
Nonethless, I did buy AoE2 and AoE1 on discount few days ago (both are cheaper than aoe2 alone) and I’m enjoying AoE2 since then. The love they did put to the old campaigns is astounding. I feel like many years ago, as a child. I could almost give a 10 to AoE 2 DE, but because of corpses, it’s only 9.5/10. Might drop as I find more annoying things.
I am yet to try multiplayer, but it won’t happen soon, since campaigns are priority.
Thank you alot! i like your work and think 5 minutes are perfect!
is it possible to have the blood also around 3 or 4 minutes? i like the bloodanimation in aoe2de alot, and it would look great to see it sinking in the ground after a view minutes.
Glad you are enjoying it Makes me more happy about all the work I put into this.
You can have blood remain on ground for same length as bodies using Crimson Blood mod. I made my screenshots using that mod and mentioned it in description.
@ApeSilent, can you help @TobinDeep have blood visible for same length as in Crimson Blood, but with original graphics?
Maybe he can create a local mod, which contains original blood dds file for graphics? Then he should just load it in mod manager with higher priority than Crimson Blood, so that it overrides graphics, but keeps visibility time.
That’s definitely possible @TobinDeep but keep in mind that the initial expanding of the blood pool will be much slower, since it will simply add more delay between frames. If you’re interested in it anyway, I can quickly upload a mod for that, maybe others want to use it as well with Yoroks mod.
Corpses and skeletons are banned in China, same reason why the decaying skeletons in wow classic have been presuamlby removed. Caused a similar outcry in the wow community is here in aoe de, but nothing seem to change.
Sales in China and bending to their censoring seens more important. Fight was lost in classic wow and probably here nothing will change either.
The corpse mod is a OK replacement in aoe de atleast.
Perhaps they can publish a skeleton decay mod in workshop for players that would like to use it like a graphics mod, same as how small tree mod is official.
They can’t do that, China is currently crushing down on the gaming scene because is has unregulated space which allow contact with people outside of china like mods and forums.
I don’t thing Microsoft want to provoke them with such a mod.
Could there be regionalized content, much like movies, online streaming services, DVDs/Blu-Rays, etc? Films are often edited for various parts of the world to remove offensive things, for example; Netflix libraries are different for different countries; and Google/Bing search results are probably regionalized and/or censored depending on location. Seems like regionalizing game content wouldn’t be too difficult?
The wow expansion wrath of the lich King was extremely edited back then and was release over a year after the west because of the intensive rework needed due to massive amount of undeads.
. It took time because I had account and mod publishing issues.
Makes me more happy about all the work I put into this.
