They’re not the ones actually making the game. ---

Worlds Edge are not the ones making the DLCs/patches for AoE3 or other games in the series. That’s the job of the Forgotten Empires and other developers that aren’t directly owned by Microsoft or Activision. They can’t outright fire those developers, but they can decide to not hire them to work on AoE anymore. Hopefully…the suits at Activision understand how important the expertise of those studios is to the AoE franchise. World’s Edge aren’t going to be able to give much input on that anymore, with most of their team gone. In order to crank out more DLC, Activision might rely on other studios from overseas that accept cheaper contract rates and all that. The worst possible scenario is the series being completely abandoned outside of maintenance, though it’s unlikely Activision wouldn’t at least attempt to make some money off AoE2 at least. Activision will likely do their usual aggressive monetization schemes, or at least as much they can with an RTS game. ---

Yeah, change the name to “natives” But they shouldnt be under native american tab, neither when hoovering their tents it shouldnt show “native american”. Also as they said in another post, their graphics are American. ---

What I want for the next patch is for Italy to be improved, and my proposal is the same as the one I proposed before. 1. The Factory Card can now be sent twice. 2. Architects don’t cost population if you send Freemasons card or you revolt. 3. Capitalism should also give Lombards a trickle of gold that can be deposited as an investment (0.20 or 0.25 per Lombard). 4. Team House of Savoy now allows you to train the Armored Pistoleer (only for the player who sent the card). 5. Advanced Politicians now also affects revolutions, guaranteeing them one shipment, a +10% bonus to resource gathering, and granting their Lombards 500 of each resource as an investment for each shipment they make. 6. I would also like the Pavisier to be able to be “upgraded,” in the same way that the German Crossbowman can be upgraded to the Landwehr and the Portuguese Crossbowman to the Ordnance Riflemen. While we’re at it, I’d like the rest of the revolutions to be improved in the same style as the Mayan revolutions, Napoleonic France, the German Confederation, and the Mejí Restoration. ---

Exactly eye dominance is key most right-handed people are right-eye dominant,so they hold the bow with their left hand draw with their right it aligns the string with the dominant eye for better accuracy ---

Replying you and OG Post topic and in addition to balance changes, I wish the following: - Multithread CPU/GPU support: they have already done it in AoM Retold, so not a big deal. Game will have even better performance and a better game experience for all. no matter your game mode, mods, or whatever you play with or do with the game - Snare effect to be even lower, maybe reduce it to 2.00 - Pathfinding rework: Again. They have made improvements to AoM Retold on the pathfinding department, so why not in AoE III DE? There would be better unit behaviour, less chances for units to clash, stuck. More realistic ship movement and so - Expanded UI/UX overhaul. like ping system, observer overlay, always-present friend list and more ---

> [@SirBarnzy1](#): > > Tudor Tactics’ - unlocks a Halberdier-variant for the Brits - the Billman My idea was adding the “Roundhead” as, basically, a Javanese Spearman reskin–frailer than a baseline Halberdier with lower base damage, but slightly higher base speed and, perhaps more importantly, _ranged armor_. English unit wielding a bill. Could reuse Longbowmen skins. A “New Model Army” card in Age IV would add Roundheads to the Barracks with their Veteran and Guard upgrades researched (but not send any) and send a small number of Harquebusiers. (5 mercs for like 750 coin?) Huge value card in terms of resources in a vacuum but also, how many people are going to go out of their way to send them if they don’t provide an immediate power spike with a bunch of your new Guard units? If we don’t have a Glorious Revolution card or Church Tech, perhaps one that converts all of your villagers into Roundheads and each of your military training buildings into a Harquebusier (or two Guard Hussars each) would be cool as well. ---

Activision will likely do their usual aggressive monetization schemes, or at least as much they can with an RTS game. Yes, I think they’ll go that way… aggressive monetization like in AoE Mobile, and maybe the DLC maps will become free within a larger season pass with the respective skins, like in CoD Warzone… > [@Bleed](#): > > My idea was adding the “Roundhead” as, basically, a Javanese Spearman reskin–frailer than a baseline Halberdier with lower base damage, but slightly higher base speed and, perhaps more importantly, _ranged armor_. > > English unit wielding a bill.

Same thing happens with the name color change thing I think. It’s annoying, but you can usually assume the player is decent. Should get fixed. Btw, I don’t care about the color change itself, just it hiding info.
