You are giving it out wrong. If I’m to take full responsibility on the interpretation of your words and thread titles, then so are you to take of everyone else’s replies to your threads which you deem to interpret as attacks.
So stop taking people’s replies wrong.
However that’s not completely true either, although there’s a popular opinion out there that the receiver is to take full responsibility on how he interprets the source, I believe both parties have responsibility on the communication. And this is why I’m spending a lot of time and effort to make my posts as clear and understandable as possible and trying to express myself in a calm manner most of the time. However there’s a limit to that too, I do make mistakes and my patience is not endless.
E: and since I have been spending a lot of time and effort on you, my patience is whittling out.
Then watch more games as you’re supposed to already do, it’s litterally what people do as Burmese
The why did they need a buff? Mistery.
Top tier =/= OP. Italian, Japanese and Malay for instance are as good as Vikings (and are easier to use because they have fire galleys)
ooops I meant skirms. Don’t even need to test, as said by someone much more versed into AoE2 than I am (Mongols | Aocbox): “are the +22 HPs more valuable, than +1 normal and +2 pierce armor? Sadly, those aren’t: actually, a fully upgraded Hussar without the bonus is better than its Mongol counterpart. The difference is conspicouos especially against arrows: for example the Mongol Hussar dies after approximately 20 arrows from a fully upgraded Arbalest, while its Spanish buddy will be buried only after 24. In Imperial Age the numbers show, that the Mongol Hussar virtually lose the Bloodlines and the whole bonus against arrows, since its steadyness is only measurable to the fully armored Hussars with only 75 Hit Points” It’s also true for the skirm matchup.
What? If you want a unit “that can’t be countered” then it’s not going to be possible. For cheap counters to skirms (the easy counter to Arambai) Burmese have hussar and boosted champs. If you’re rich then you have cavalier, eles and siege.
You can ask to most people, everyone agree that skill matters more than civs. So if the slightly more skilled player wins most, it’s because he is better at the game and not just because of civ balance.
You kept writing stuff like “spearmen can’t counter scouts” or “they never reach the scouts”.
Just like Mr Smith who sees aliens where there are none, you keep seeing OP stuff where no one else see anything game breaking/urgent/whatever. The “Tatars OP” take was the best, as the hill boost is actually a quite mediocre bonus. There is truely no fallacy.
You were wondering how to counter boyars now that they had more pierce armour so he did something logical.
It depends if it’s a deathball civ or not. Korean and Celt techs for instance allow for much stronger siege than what Mongols get, and they are able to complement said siege with cheap halbs, unlike Mongols who are stuck with pikes. If you’re say, in a team game, you have Saracen that can go for mameluke + siege onager. Of course not all civ can muster deathballs, but such civs are way better in the early game as a trade off (and they still have options, like Huns palas and Malian Farimba/siege onager)
Tl;dr: if you think Mangudai should be nerfed because not all civs have killer Imp armies, then you’re msitaken, as not all civs are the same.
Then why are you asking to remove the +1 range if you don’t think it’s too good? Just for the kick and jiggles?
They had to create a new UU so they needed a new gimmick. They had the concept, they could tweak the unit in whichever way until it’s balanced. It’s completely different from changing the TC from a shelter with modest strenght to a monster that can snipe units that are supposed to be raiders/ anti building.
The thing is, your threads are laid out as your opinion is a fact. Instead of say “hey, I think this might be an issue and wanted to discuss it, what do you guys think”.
This comes across extremely antagonistic especially when you’re talking about stuff that’s literally been the way it is for 20 years and only you seem to have an issue with it. Such is the case with the town centers and long bows.
