Unit should refuse to run into Forest Fire Terrain

Age of Mythology: Retold Discussion
1

I just lost a game because my 3 naginata riders instantly died when a valkyrie intentionally ran into forest fire. My cavalry died and yet the Valykrie got to live? Myth units should take heavy damage from the fire as well and Norse should receive double the friendly fire damage from forest. How the hell is that fair? Terrain on fire should be impasable and the fire damage should also 1 shot norse units. This loss cost me the game. What kind of trash design is this where you get to wipe out an opponents woodline and I get penalized for a-moving with instant death. Doesn’t seem fair at all. And his myth unit gets to run away unharmed.

This trash design literally cost me the game. Anti Eco punishment and he gets to run his raiding valkyrie into the fire and take no damage, my units run behind them and instadie. Amazing design!

TLDR;

Amazing game design! Norse player gets to abuse broken a move, use power, stand directly in the fire and his myth unit lives while my 3 cavalry insta die. And he kills my entire woodline! Who’s idea was it to make an eco power also deal insane damage and 1 shot cav? In what world are cav not out able to outrun a forest fire? WTF?

I think this is officially the first time someone wants to nerf forest fire.

I’m not asking for a nerf, I’m just asking that people who abuse the crappy pathfinding in this game instantly lose the decoy unit they abuse to instakill all units A moving. Should absolutely have been patched long ago. I could see if my units were in the initial path of the fire, but its just too much. Compare Forest Fire to wither.

I’m wondering : are you going to write a thread anytime something made you loose ? Or will you, like every player, reflect on your plays and try to improve by thinking how you could play differently ?

No one support you. If your opinion was shared by people, they would support you. So maybe next time you loose, you could try to stay calm and watch the replay to see how you could win.

Btw still waiting to see how yari spearman can lose to Jarl with even upgrades and number :slight_smile:
