Wouldnt it be a great idea if you could select civs you dont want to play, so your not playing a double or playing against a new OP civ thats only there to sell DLC

Do u know what balance patches are??
This isnt AoE2, civs are difficult to balance, its normal that new civs are a bit OP at the beggining.

the beginning will be stretched over months, game play is poorly effected when this happens
Agree it would be nice if you didn’t buy it you didn’t play it like the original version but that did fragment the player pool quite a bit by the time Asian came out
that is true…and it took half a year to sort out, because when they make adjustments they are tiny increments, if there is an option 2 select one or 2 civs max to opt out it would help a lot
it would be a dumb idea, only thing that was even op was the hausa tower rush and it’s been nerfed now in the hotfix.

that’s exactly what i’m saying yes, only thing that was op with hausa was the tower rush and now it’s been nerfed, with ethiopia the mortar has now been nerfed those were the 2 biggest complaints.
No other hausa unit is close to being op, for the ethiopians gascenya are strong but it is also their only ranged unit until fortress with no archer/skirm before then, their skirm is fine with high hp but lower attack and they’re more expensive.
These civs also lack factories and big late game eco cards like refrigeration/royal mint, you need to send several cards just to get food gathering the same as with refrigeration for example.
Selling a cow every few minutes is no where near as strong as brits/dutch getting the equivalent of 20 extra vills before 8 minutes.

ok…i guess i just got improve my game
Not sure if you’ve had the chance to play the new civs, but if you play them yourself you’ll see what I mean. We may still see some minor changes in the future but I’d say they are fairly well balanced now after the hotfix.
Some people seem to complain about the javelin rider a lot but it is actually really slow for a dragoon, it’s 0.5 speed lower and is unable to chase down and catch hussar for example, which also effects its ability to kite and it does have a bit of a wind up animation, it’s not an instant shot like a dragoon.
Ethiopia has also had their tempo reduced significantly with the jesuit influence card being moved to age 2 also forcing them to swap out a valuable age 2 card to send it.
That’s a bad idea…it’s the same problem as the ‘ranked lobby’ idea.
People shouldn’t be able to choose their opponent on a ranked ladder environment otherwise it becomes way too easy to exploit it and climb.

Nothing wrong with an option to veto out up to 3 civs before hitting search.

I agree with the idea, TAD had a similar system where you could opt out of playing against warchiefs civs.
Although that will probably indirectly remove japan from the game though.
Yeah that killed the warchiefs site as everyone bypassed them for the most part. This made Asian the primary site.
