It’s not that games are shorter or not compared to AoE2, it’s that nothing really happens, just 1 fight and thats the game. Also the fact that unit animation is so slow doesnt help either. It’s like everybody is trying to swing a sword or chop wood while heavily under the influence of alcohol in this game.
5 out of 7 Rus games were against Mongols, with the other 2 being against France. As good as Rus are considered to be I am pretty sure the other two are considered better. Rus vs Mongols might be a poor matchup even though both are strong. It’s all anecdotal anyway, you can’t learn anything from 7 games where all the players kept their strategies hidden. I want to see the results after they play 100 matches against one another.

Nothing can get from the winrate, all of us know Delhi is not more OP than French.
The database is so small and only refer to pro.
Not much worth for reference.
What we get from genesis, Mongol is upper hand to french in pro level and pro knows better how to deal with French, but pro still choose French as the first civ as the most.

Frahce picked 24 times means they are still the most op civ .
Strongly disagree with that Aoe4 matches are boring. I think absolutely the opposite. And the fact that recent tournaments got plenty of views may prove it. But it’s highly subjective whereas it’s boring or not.

I actually loved watching some of TheViper’s games. It was so nice to see someone winning with brainpower and decision making rather than just being fast at doing things (though he is of course also very fast at doing things compared to the vast majority of players).

It’s Avery small sample size to judge a civ .
Dude pros took france more than twice than any other civ clearly means they all agree france is the most op civ .
Also formet was u can’t repeat a civ , that’s why other civ got a chance , else every game would be frabce vs frabce .
Cheesey infantry sprinol timing is the new op strat , but it worked becoz it’s a new strat , give time , france players will find a way arround . Becoz France inherently has advantage over others.
Game will be balanced after france nerf and springol nerf .
To me, this actually indicates that not enough time has passed yet to make a good decision. Give these people some time to be able to counter other civs as well, and then it will be a more fair judgement on civ balance.
So were all these players roughly the same skill? Those are some pretty small numbers. Let’s have at least 10 more of those before throwing out balance change ideas.
No house to build
Far less gathering camp
1000 stone (12 lancers) totaly free at 10minutes
Only one stable/casern needed
Every economy upgrade are better with stone
The only real reason French had a bigger pickrate than mongols was because Boundary bay was a French mirror like every round because age2 hulks are broken and because they kept losing so Mongols would be played basically max 1 per series, but some series people tried to play french 2-3 times. Not to say French aren’t great but Mongols are conidered #1 right now by virtually every pro aoe player.
