Guys, I’ve been always grateful for the great job you have done on releasing this beautiful game.
That being sad. Nothing can ruin a RTS more than people just losing the will of playing it online because it is more annoying than fun.
Bugs and de-syncs are terrible, but we can get why it takes too much time to fix sometimes.
On the other hand, allowing abusive strats or stupid OP things is bad.
Atlanteans Poseidon Secret bug and OP Contarius spam should have an immediate hot fix patch.
Slingers with Ptah and Sekhmet being a really cheap unit, with divine damage, bonus against a type of unit they were not suppose to counter, and this unit being produce fast in a cheap building is just maddness.
“But Egyptians are struggling and have low winrates!!” one might say and my answer is:
OK! Maybe you are right, but WHY is that? To which civs or circunstances? Is this slinger abuse really the only way to make egyptian playable? If it is, terrible news about game design.
RTS are about strategies. If you have a simple way to produce a huge unkillable army of cheap units, it becomes “boring”. Set and Isis were OP on launch, Rá is struggling a bit but we saw RecoN making it look really strong and I’m sure Rá was not supposed to be about 1 classical cheap unit spam.
As much as I love to play this game, I really dont feel like playing ranked these days. People watch some youtube videos and start abusing this kind of strat too fast.
Edit: Cyclops special attack during ceasefire is also a thing that should be quickly fixed on a hot fix patch.
