yeah, I know, but still, if your berries are forward, and everything else got lamed, gg
Hills are always in the perfect spot for the enemy to make a castle and push with siege, hoang likes the new map.
While i like one woodline in the back, the distance of it is really random, sometimes its really far, a bad woodline increases idle time which delays the BO.
You don’t get the second golds near to ur base, meaning that if you got trushed or pushed, you wont have easy access for the small gold/stone piles, so the game can be decided by that.
Please revert change, at least remove these hill everywhere in your base.
This is not arabia anymore and not fun imo

Maybe we should remove walls on arena or take away the forests on BF if players can’t adapt to this they can just try and git gud? I wouldn’t ever suggest to make any historically closed map more open just because more people might like it it’s losing its identity then plus we have so many ultra open maps now anyway and an entire EW playlist for non strategizers. The thing that sucks is that any change that appeals to casuals will always be favoured by the masses even if it is bad for the game overall. I’m shocked so many people here have overlooked that a STRATEGY game map just lost HALF it’s opening STRATEGIES and now has forced optional strategies in castle age otherwise instead of you cheesing you get cheesed
Arabia and Ghost lake are now the same map.

the 3rd gold position is definitely a mistake.
All the opponent needs to do, is to put few towers blocking the gold, wall it and try the best to defends it.
As long as he can hold, Blue needs to keep selling resources for gold.
That’s why I suggest we should have an elo display for each user, for this whole thread the endless arguments wont even have any conclusion.
Everyone thinks he’s the smarter one.

Just play another game, this is one of the ridiculous map I had so far.
The only wood line I have is the left. and it’s a outside woodline, and I wont even able to place a TC near around to protect if i went to castle.
I have another one on top, but it’s not even called “close”. and it’s super small.
So for the whole game I need to sacarfice everything to protect the “only outside woodline” I hav.
if you ask me do I like this Arabia?
No I don’t, I am kind of curious what’s the developer’s mind is thinking.
I wish this game is free for everyone and gain money from selling skin or mods to get the stable income. Right now they really operate this game super bad.

Bahaha, that map is so mad it got me to laugh.
ya, my AOE2 groupmates even said it might be a bug.
To further add about all the ■■■■■■■■ said here about arabia not being open enough before
We literally had a way more open map with way less wood than AoC arabia

so number of tree if map is open or closed ?
You know, the fact that you have less trees that spawn further away means it’s more open

After watching a lot of screen shoots i think the arabia script is bugged on purpose, to reduce arabia pick rate, so somehow they can defend their disgusting map pool, saying other maps are now getting more popular lol
You know what? I’d actually like that. Game doesn’t revolve around one map only.

LOL!! I laugh soooo hard because of this. I told you all so! And boy did I get haters over 1.5 years ago when I WARNED YOU ALL THAT FAIRNESS KILLS FUN.
That’s my bragging.
Yes a tournament-only Arabia map. Oh boy, am I having fun now. I warned about the pursuit of fairness and nobody listened. This is the result.
