I Really Hope This Game Replaces AOE2: It's Just Better

[TheRaff0]

i got it.
but explored sight is insignificant in aoe2. Hills are already using another shade.
in aoe4 line of sight works differently, with all obstacles blocking vision.

May it can be done good, but I do not see what usefull information it will add while it certainly make current minimap more messy with colores.
but the main issue is hills, which highlighted with shades.
may be if it fully reworked into aoe4’s style with icons: boar, dears, Wolfs.

If you want feature - so be it.
I’ve just explain my imo and i’ve read it for the first time here.

They’ve been partly working on the minimap for the console version as it now actually displays small gold and stone icons instead of just dots + it also uses icons for boars:

If you look at that screenshot, you can see my vill being chased by the boar thus you can see a boar icon right behind the red dot on the minimap. I hope they implement that type of minimap for the PC verison as well.

To my knowlede you can also scale the size of the healthbars on the console version.

@TheRaff0

That is not true at all. You can only see enemy units passing where you actually have vision currently and the AoE2 minimal does not convey where that is.

@allegria

I didn’t read the 537 replies in this thread but I just wanna lean in here for a sec and say that AOE2 is a joke to me until they make the minimap actually show your Line of Sight.

@allegria

It’s so much nicer having a minimap that actually tells you what you can or can’t see, at a glance.

Yes, just remember that it’s still a game from 1999, you can’t ask too much of it either…

@allegria

Given that there is an enormous vision difference between an Outpost and a Knight, but both of those objects might be out in the middle of the map, it’s wonderful to be able to just clearly see where you do and don’t have vision, instead of having to infer/guess/remember how far your vision extends from any little dot on the map. I’d love to play AOE2 and build a bunch of outposts around the map and be able to look at the map and see my vision coverage clearly but instead there’s this big absence of immediate clarity because fog isn’t shown on the minimap. Keeping track of enemy movements is a big deal and not being able to see your LOS clearly on the map at a glance complicates it unnecessarily and is a big reason I put AOE2 “below” AOM/AOE4 in my head.

Yes I agree…

Great, that’s good…

I could help make the best RTS game in history, but they rather add stupid DLC nobody wanted

[CagierNebula24]

I was disappointed in 4 at release but it’s improved quite a bit and now it’s my second favorite age game (3 will always be my favorite).

I’d like to see 4 get long-time support.

[grizzgolf]

I hope 4 does. Its really not a bad game

In my case it is in the middle of the table…AoE 3,AoEO,AoM and AoE 2/RoR are better in that order…AoE 4 is only better than AoE 1 DE…

Yes, I agree, the game has a lot of potential…

the minimap part I can agree on, definitely can be improved.

now if only 1 feature lacking means entire game is a joke to you then having lack of 10s of AOE4 features, by your standard AOE4 would be completely in the gutters.

Lucifron's disgusting trick, to avoid a stockade

Lucifron’s disgusting trick is about cutting down the tree around your opponent’s palisade. With 10 seconds a tree is cut down and it is not necessary to return to a logging camp to continue cutting down more trees. [3] The proposal and solution is the following: that it does not allow walking in a tree until it has extracted all its resource, as it happens with gold and stone, it is not possible to go over a stone until all the resource is consumed, it must be applied in a the same way in t…

Boom trading is the "new double TC"

I begin by mentioning that I agree that the trade should be valid, so the reduction of the trader was good; but it should be a mid-late game strategy, not an early game strategy. The cost and the hp of the trader seems good to me, my change goes to the cost of the market and the production time of the trader Request: Market cost is 150 wood, production time is 30 seconds, trader production time 30 seconds [imagen] Increasing the cost of the Tc was what he did against the “TC boom”, the mark…

I suggest closing the thread

[FloosWorld]

Sir, it’s an unwritten law on a forum that it’s considered bad manners to revive an old thread by “necroing” it.

I have absolutely nothing against your posts but just want to point out that you should make new threads instead of posting a thread where the last post has been made months ago.
