Now, do you think any of these AoE1 buildings in scale in this image are worse than that of the AoE4 buildings in scale?
Each building in aoe4 has a different escale. I asked you for a building in aoe1 that had a worse proportion than estable in aoe4.

At least their doors and windows are made for similarly-sized people. The house which is a smaller structure could be put adjacent to a bigger structure and become a natural part of it, instead of being a bigger model scaled down.
In AOE4 you have buildings with different door and window sizes. And the towers in some military buildings look by all means a shrinked version of standalone towers. They look weird when put next to each other. That’s what people mean when saying the models need a re-design if they are to reduce the sizes, rather than simply shrinking the original models.

I would have to agree with you. I take back what I said when I said the AoE1 building scales are worse than that of AoE4 because man does the building scale in AoE4 happens to be a major problem that MUST be fixed! These buildings shouldn’t be scaled down like this.

I really hate the design of the barracks. Twins lone towers unconnected to the “main house”.

the funnier part is those “towers” being the same height as an infantry unit right next to it, same to slightly lesser extent applies to outposts
guys maybe they made the units bigger have you ever look from that perspective?
both happened
building reduction and unit being made 2x bigger, if only 1 of these was done, then chances are it’d still look mostly consistent, but they went overboard and done both, and now here we are, and its not like relic’s been busy looking at feedback (knowing how long they’ve been taking to fix RTS basics, with multiple still unadressed ones), 3 of those being no MP pause, insufficient zoom level and way too much fog on the map with no option to disable
edit: Fog of War could need some updating - Age of Empires IV / IV - Discussion - Age of Empires Forum relic proving if they wanted to fix zoom and fog, they would’ve done it by now, they clearly have it working, and they had it working months prior to release

I love how it looks! the wall actually looks… like a wall! that surrounds the village! actual wooden palisades are just fences… smaller than all the buildings!! was it that hard to do it like in the first picture¿??

well esports only crowd, aka maybe dozen of people in total had problems with it and relic obeyed
if only they were as rigid with building scale at that time as they are with zoom and fog now
The walls are at least not that bad because their scaling is more realistic than that of other buildings but the scales of other buildings especially the house should be increased.

Defs agree, buildings need to be bigger…
Not bigger, more proporcionate. If some buildings need a rework, do it. Bigger doors, more height, etc
Even. If they make it 10% buildings bigger and units 10% smaller. Would make a difference that wouldnt make the units not harder to use and keep most peaple happy.
Would maybe help with the path finding too
One year later and they never addressed this, this is a clear and loud example that this game was designed for the competitive players only for that small % of playerd, if you play attention to the patches you will see that all the changes are focused of clarity and competitive… That’s why this game has a lower player base… 1 year later and OP and myself can say we were right.

I have heard rumors that they are working on something that will make AoE4 more fun for people who care about graphics, building proportions, realism etc and not just multiplayer.
But these are rumors.
Don’t take me wrong - I am not here to defend AoE4. Not one bit.

we heard those promises plenty of times (merciless AI anyone?), they’re at best gonna add animations to current statues, like with chinese houses, or maybe just maybe fixing siege clipping into the ground or floating
any actual improvement will be sold to you for a fee as a cosmetic dlc

One year of silence.One thing that annoys me is that thousands of dollars were spent on documentaries for aoe4 that are very good. But then you see that that money is missing from the game develeopment.

Make all buildings bigger or all units smaller isnt neccesary because each building has its own escale. Only redefine or doing bigger dors or windows in some buildings. Others yes, doing bigger.
