Thank you for your clarification. It is exactly what I want.
Yes it is what I am currently doing. I always play as a premade team with 4 and we always pool 30k gold to research spy in map like amazon tunnel or michi. Since we are using discord to communicate, after one of us research spy, we can share all the information orally. And for solo queueing player, this is very hard for them to execute this strategy that they need to
- pool the gold to one player
- that player give information via pinging or chat using AOE2 chat function which is very ineffective compared to orally
I am very happy to know that they still give this kind of massive advantage to our premade team. Previously I also find the similar advantage of premade team and open a topic which dev acknowledge it and make change on the game. I hope dev will not change the spy tech this time so that our team can enjoy the advantage
