I think it will be pretty cool, night mode is in game already implementet in some campagains. Only add some setting to activate it. Fire arrow in night, night battle atmosphere and more cool thinks only in night can see. Just a small graphic enhancement without effects to villagers, because this part of game looks more like it gonna go arcade path. The game looks too golden and bright, this will balance this and add more good experience in game. 0-6:30 day, then night to 10:00 (min) and again day.
Why all developers thinks in nowadays only graphic update = best game, make it more impressive if you want 60$ for that, just my opinion.
I think from a competitive perspective, having things look visually as consistent as possible throughout the game is important. It’s a game, not a simulator.
Won’t work from a competitive standpoint BUT it’s certainly an option they should give to us with the scenario editor/mod tools. We know the system is in place (since we have campaign scenarios that are at different times of the day and foggy).
I would wait 3-6 months and bring this up again once custom games are a proper thing.
Yeah, I should remember that competitive multiplayer focused games tend to sacrifice immersion and graphics for maximum soulless readability, which is fine but at that point better for them to keep playing AoE2 at lowest settings then.
I don’t think the multiplayer crowd care for the documentary videos either yet they spent a lot of budget for them.
The game needs to improve from an immersion\art\technical point of view too otherwise what’s the point of this over AOE2DE.
I noticed there is a night mission in the Mongol campaign, there are even crickets as ambience.
The engine deifinitely support nights, would be nice to have time of day selectable in the skirmish. I think it would be really easy and low effort for the devs to make it all the above considered.
Yes, but its too bright and yellow game and night mode will be nice and balancing, i didnt say make ultra darkness night. But devs not reading forum because so many implementations is not good at all.
Majority dont like it? No i think they will more like it, i said just make easy night cycle for 3:30 min with low darkness level man without effects to villagers… I dont find reason why they cant like it, sometimes aoe look like crap, because there is no night, its unreal and more boring, it can help to make battle atmosphere more interesting.
^^ I love how people just spew nonsense without even thinking or caring about the accuracy of their statements. The campaign literally has a day night cycle. It’s just not a part of multi-player
