Lmao u r absolutely wrong , almost all civ have shipment worth 1000 resources , and everyone in treaty use that , weather 1000+ resourse carate for Aztec , and other native civs , india , russia .
While other civs have 1000 resources worth unit shipment for European and Asian civs . And if u r not using them , then ur tr deck is bad .
They nerfed only Aztec while all other civs can send their infinite shipment faster .
Ur assumption tells that u don’t play treaty .
Tidr. They boost eco for all the civs 3 month ago , but decided to nerf Aztec only .
I don’t even know why r u even commenting on this when u have no idea about age 4 infinite shipment of all the civs .
Aztec has no special eco bonuss with 1300 resource , lmao , alll civ have equivalent infinite card all arround the spectrum .
Also to add that , infinite unit shipments are more worth as u don’t have to collect the resources and train unit urself .
You explained yourself, that aztec relies more on the shipment, so they got a bigger boost out of it in comparison. Your reply thereby contradicts your previous point.
From now on the conversation goes in circles, so arguing further is a waste of time…
you will find the answers to your questions in your own comments cya
Lmao u ran away becoz u were proven wrong , i m not surprised . Basically u accepted the point that
They buff every single civ in 3 months back and now decided to nerf Aztec . So it was not a mistake then and not a mistake now , it was intentional both the time .
There is no circle here , just deliberate nerfing of Aztec .
1300 shipment is not a big deal , every civ has equivalent card .
Regarding XP bounty for killing Warriors. I think it is fair to add it but 10 XP is way to much. Warrior has only 100 HP, 20 attack and quickly loses hitpoints.
10 XP is for killing a Musketeer which has 50% more HP, 15% more range attack and not loses his live every second. I think 5-6 XP bounty would be fair here.
I think it is not bad, and it is mostly because of the mechanic it self, While it is something absurd that can be abused. This 10 is for those that think of abusing it.
In the long run it can be modified to be lower if needed. But for a start I think 10 is OK
While this is a unit that brought nightmare to my main civ, I think it might have gone too far. Like aztec in reality struggles a lot vs skirms already it was a known fact, But if this is what it takes to help those civs that struggled vs the unit. Le’ts see the outcome,
If I remember seeing correctly Aztec is within the top 3 win ratio civs in the 1400+ elo, So it would be ok to test changes
Now I understand for treaty is a whole different story…
This change should be even Higher, It is quie disgusting seeing how mass of any skirm type unit, whether it is Skirms or archer units 30+ eating horseman units like nothing
A moderator mentioned this changes are only the balance chanegs, There are more things that were not mention that are coming. Where also this could be just a patch before spring patch too
They did the same to bolas warrior previously, a similar Incan unit to Aztec ERK. Then it just becomes useless. I made a post expressing similar opinion today on the reason I quit aoe3. Unexpectedly new patch does the same thing.
When there is such a huge mass of archers they deserve to eat horseman…ramged units will have a critical mass to one shot cavs…that’s true for all RTS. If one cav can survive and fight 30 archers then something is wrong
I really hope this is not all of it, or it would be a colossal waste of time. They pay attention again only to European mercenaries and still no imperial mercenaries for Asian civs and infinite age IV merc shipments like Euros. Plus miscellaneous buff to White Pagoda.
after thinking about it, the double sided armour and repellling nerfs are kinda ok given that there is an overall nerf of skirms and strenthening of heavy cav
though the 2 combined changes means that chinese light infantry are also slightly worse vs light cav then they were before, though its like a 7% nerf.
also the infinite petards + GFA + confucian principle is very funny, potentially cheesy.
