I have played aoe4 for 4 seasons. No I am suffering the most boring and trashy version. Ever since the version 12.0.1974 updated, games have turned into endless combats between knights and archers. No crossbow anymore, no siege any more, no infantry any more. The only two military buildings players need to build are archery range and stable. The only tactic we can choose if players want to win is the knights + archers.
In my view, rts game is such game full of imagination, where plays should quickly alter their tactics to adapt to the situation they are facing. But now, knights and archers are overpowered making other tactics almost unable to survive. And the nerf to siege makes it useless and trashy.
Now infantries are countered by two much units while the knights are only countered by spearmen. But spearmen would suddenly die when they encounter archers. I think it is unreasonable. And the sieges need to be buffed urgently, at least making it becoming the specialist anti ranged units, instead of being countered by the archers.
