New water feedback

I watched a couple of games on Ornlu’s channel in Thalassocracy Cup.

Here are my thoughts:
-Seeing hardly any demos is just sad. They are such an iconic unit
-Being able to hide fishing ships in docks takes away from the game. until now, fishing ships were a high risk investment, because you could lose 4-5 to a single stray fireship. no you just hide them in a dock
-Hulks feel very clunky. They look like trade cogs at first, their short range arrow attacks feels just wrong, the way they stack (even worse than longboats) makes it hard to see what’s going on/who’s winning

Overall. What were they thinking with this change? I don’t know what perceived issue they were trying to fix. this is just less fun to watch

there is already a thread for that open

I wanted to watch some of this but I find Ornlu’s casting annoying because he repeatedly selects random things on the map for no reason. I also found Memb videos, but I also find him annoying because of his personality. Has anyone else cast it?

I personally enjoy Ornlu’s casting, so i watched his stream.

If you are looking for casters for any particular tournament you can check liquipedia: https://liquipedia.net/ageofempires/Thalassocracy/2
it lists Addictiveme, BlackAddersPlays, Daniela, Heart, and F1re as English language casters (additionally there are casts in Spanish, Portuguese, French, Mandarin, and Vietnamese)
