If you had to choose would you rather have the Chronicles civilisations or the 3 Kingdoms in ranked
- Chronicles
- 3 Kingdoms
- I would quit the game
- I don’t play ranked so I don’t care
Differences to “normal” civs
Chronicles
- 2 Naval buildings
- Multiple unique ship lines (Lembos, Monoreme, Catapult Ship and Leviatan)
- Free Lembos for the first Port
- Lots of Auras
- 4 unique technologies
- mutually exclusive technologies
- Supplies but no Gambeson and no Devotion
- No Petards
- Generic units look different and even have different names
- Renamed generic technologies and buildings
- Trading for Wood on water
Other things like no gunpoweder already exist in some AoE2 civs.
3 Kingdoms
- No normal trebuchet
- Heroes at the Castle
All other things have existed in other civs before like no Knight line.
The 4th choice imply that people who only play ranked care, I don’t think that’s true. Seeing the reactions of pro, most are enthusiastic seeing new mechanics, or worried that some units might be too strong, but most don’t care too much about the different direction the dev team took.
3k are better for ranked, but that doesn’t mean they are a good addition.
This poll is like the title implies “just for fun”.
I noticed that more people wanted to have Chronicles civs available in ranked then people wanting to not move 3 Kingdoms to Chronicles in 2 other polls I made.
Yeah, I’m just saying that for me “I only play ranked so I don’t care” would make more sense for a poll.
Although ranked player would care if chronicles civs were added, but those were never intended to be added, that’s why they are stacked with bonus and play a different game on water
The question is only about ranked so why should you not care if you play ranked?
This poll purposely doesn’t have the option “neither” or “both”.
