Since it seems there wont be mire balance patches it is time for the community to do them like it did with legacy game. Even devs have move responsabilities to modders.
And like all we know there are many balance concerns that are not good for game health.
I know WE doesnt deserve our love after the bad news but it is the best we can do for the game survillance
Do you really want to continue all this?
You still can’t play it on the ranked ladder. I mean it sort of works for certain players who can (and want to) arrange matches outside of the game but for most of us it’s not a great solution.
Balance will take time
But an “unofficial patch” in the same vein so many abandoned games have done from elder scrolls to dawn of war to get this…age of empires 2 and 3 legacy… will be done. Id wager just to fix bugs. Dutch players want their akan, some italian architect foundation laming and bugged team cards we can all get behind i think.
