before the unit was added, Galley vs Galley in Feudal was very good micro war and looked so fun.
But some of people having not good thiking of RTS complaints same situation of all sea war.
but It is game. Game is more simple than real world.
cuz of that opinion, fire galley for feadal had added.
But It make inferior sea war now. Many 2k ranker moved their galley to avoid arrow from enermy’s galley
I’m sure that You may think it is the adorable micro war.
How is it inferior? You have galley, fire galley and demolition raft, each one countering the other. Much more interesting. The previous was inferior and current is superior. Also the fact that fire ships were buffed in general also was a good thing to make the unit viable at all.
how can fire galley make superior play? there is no fire and stop , it always is attacking so no micro there
Well, demolition rafts force you to microz otherwise BADABUM! ggwp
What on earth mate? I just gave you a list of units available in feudal: Galley, Fire Galley, DEMOLITION RAFT.
Here is a old schol galley war game from aoc around 2015 with viper vs daut.
Really this was much more fun to watch than the current fire galley meta
I remember this match. No one used fire ships at all in that time either, it was at African Kingdoms when they got their buff and became a usable unit. Definately an improvement.
Iirc Viper even got that lucky treb shot at a cavalier lol.
The most important point is not used unit.
How they do micro fantastically
No idea why you quote the treb part, but let us move forward.
It is important that a unit is usable. There’s no way around that. And you have to micro your navies even now too, you can’t just blindly make fire ships, cause aside from koreans, everyone has demos. You need to constantly be vary of the oppositions navy composition. Now that is more important imo, than just constantly evading another unit’s shots and that is your only way of engaging in combat.
no, level of micro is the more important . see SC1 , SC2
Go play them then if that’s how you feel, AoE2 is a better game than warcraft/starcraft franchise.
I think If fire galley even just cost 5 more wood, we would not make the unit useless but still just very slightly tilt the balance back a bit towards. mass galleys.
Fire galleys should not be useless but galley micro was so much more fun. Fun and entertaining which is the important point in any game.
Before Fire Galley and Demo Raft, almost no one even played Water maps, as it was a silly Galley fest, that once you lost, there was no comeback.
Galleys evading shots all the time on both sides looks so stupid too and is just a timewaster. Much more fun to me to watch the units actually engage each other.
By far!
I like Starcraft and Warcraft, but AoE2 is a MUCH BETTER game.
Blizzard RTS games aged very poorly, and degenerated into clickfests. AoE2 actually has Strategy in it.
This too. Now you have atleast a chance to make a comeback.
I was not advocating to revert water back to aoc. Just a tiny little adjustment in favour of galleys.
I don’t see the current meta as perfect
What actually kept warcraft 3 alive wasn’t the RTS part, but the RPG part and powerful editor. Made even some maps for myself back in the day. So easy to edit units right in the map editor too, wish AoE had that.
Warcraft 3 was a very poor RTS, which is why it basically killed RTS for a generation, and birthed the MOBA.
The best part of that game was Hero micro, which the complete opposite of what RTS is about.
I am actually glad Reforged killed that game forever. It was holding RTS back.
Good timing too, some people diverted here.
