Then what would be the point of it?

This us actually a good idea for balance.
Only let buildings heal that cost wood to repair.
It would be convenient but not powerful.
Gives you some ease if mind not having to worry about repairing damaged buildings that are not on the front line.

Then the only buildings not benefitting from the self healing concrete would be the one using concrete.
Not that it’s a bad thing, as balance is more important than reflecting real life when creating game mechanics, but I found the thought funny x)

Maybe defences should also heal but at a much lower rate.

I think 1HP per second is a reasonable rate for all buildings.

A house would take 15 minutes to fully heal.
A Barracks 35 minutes.
A Castle 80 minutes.
1 HP/second per age (4 in Imperial) for all Wood buildings seems useful but not OP.
Stone defence only 1 HP/second in Imperial. Would give some stone savings but definitely not much.

According to my calculations, in the Imperial Age, an unupgraded House would take 3 minutes to fully heal, an unupgraded Barracks almost 9 minutes, and an unupgraded Castle 20 minutes. That’s not bad, but could be faster.

And what about shang yamato choson persians?
Yes, it can be, as long as he doesn’t recover too quickly…
I thought you couldn’t use the Romans in rank?
No, you can’t play ranked with the Romans…
How did you get those numbers?
1HP/second = 60HP/Minute
- House: 900/60 = 15 minutes
- Barracks: 2100/60 = 35 minutes
- Castle: 4800/60 = 80 minutes
All without any techs (other then Imperial Age)
Not sure what you used to calculate.
3 minutes for a house = 5HP/second
9 minutes for a barracks = 3.9HP/second
20 minutes for a castle = 4HP second
Not sure if 4HP/Second for all buildings in Imperial Age would be that powerful.
If the civilisations doesn’t have Masonry and Architecture (like the Byzantines) it would be worse then just a full University in many situations.
Doesn’t mean they shouldn’t be balanced.
Unless that’s the intention.
I divided the building HP by 4.
I have a feeling that was wrong…
I don’t know too much about ancient architecture, but if I were to move the civs around I’d go like this:
Sumerians and Assyrians to Mesopotamian set
Maybe Phoenicians to Mesopotamian and ######## to Greek
Macedonians to Greek
And also rework East Asian set to not look like medieval Chinese architecture
And as for new additions:
Numidians, Nubians and maybe Aksumites on Egyptian set
Jomon on reworked East Asian set
Etruscans on Roman set
Anything else I can think of would need new sets
Maybe Hebrews could go on Egyptian or Mesopotamian set, idk

Will the Roman legionary in Trajan campaign get ‘lorica segmentata’, ‘gladius’ and ‘scutum’? In AOE DE campaign, the Roman legion model is nowhere close to the model of an iconic ordinary imperial soldier. I always wish we could get one.
Seems like the Legion and Long Swordsman have a different design now but the Legion will not look very Roman at all, keeping the Greek inspired design.
The Phalanx/Centurion still has it though.
Kinda strange that the Romans use a Greek looking unit while the Greeks use a Roman looking one.
Also the Locrica Segmentata was never used by the majority of the Roman army.
It is very iconic though and was certainly used by Trajans army.
Would be cool if they at last add some unique units for the campaigns.
I personally think if they would have just added scutum to legionary in RoR, it would have been fine to my, instead gilded armor.
Same could be said to phalanx swap scutum to greek hoplon and it would have been fine and give legionary cape to centurion to make it more epic.
I know every Romaboo likes Centurions and legions, but wouldnt it have been cooler to have a Carroballista? According to wikipedia Roman legions used them regularly at least until the late 4th century so they surely fit the timeline
It would have been better than yet abother cav and infantry unique unit with a gimmick imo
What is this stupidity? “Return of Rome/Rise of Rome” Doesn’t even belong in the title with Age of Empires 2.
Do the Devs even know the effing history of the franchise? Is there an explanation for this?
Does anyone even realize that “Age of Empire: Definitive Edition” IS Rise of Rome?
stupid cash grab.
Return of Rome is obviously supposed to have the same abbreviation as Rise of Rome.
That’s not a secret.
It’s basically a remake of a remake. Nothing to hide here.
You can decide on your own if you want buy AoE1 in the AoE2 engine or not.
