Cool.
Also while dromons against buildings are reasonably compare vs CGs they’re way behind an elite cannon galleon. I think it can be balanced but I have to concede having that extra utility, anti unit utility, does make it trickier to balance. I’m definitely not saying it’d be super easy, but I think it’d be worth the effort.
Hopefully it does more good than harm; sometimes their pathing tweaks have made things worse in the past.
Yes we cannot know how many % this would be improved, but at least there is some progress.
New DLCs or Animated Icons?:
So now we are having Icons DLC like AoE3 had its explorer’s DLCs. Are User Icons really worth selling as Cosmetic DLC? You wouldn’t even be able to see them whole game after loading screen.
What is this? Where is this from?
It’s at the bottom in the profile icon section from the PUP
These are all the animated icons that are going to be added:
And this one being censored by forum: Imgur: The magic of the Internet
Wow this is pretty good. I like hilarious art. 
Why just 1? There should be 5 at least. And 20 at most.
The extension of idea is limited by the icon resolution.
Age of chivalry creators profile pic ruined forever.
I can’t decide if I like the beard or moonwalking villager one more. They’re all really good.
I wonder why the Amazon Archer one is censored.
If they indeed start to sell icons for real money, this is a very bad sign…
Not only should they better concentrate their programmers on pathfinding and their graphics people on new architecture sets and unique castles. It would also show the declining respect for players who love to play a normal game without microtransactions and mobile game vibes.
If the devs (or MS, I suspect) didn’t learn from the badly-received RoR and the negative feedback about the price of TMR, we may still give them some additional one for such a move. I will definitely never buy cosmetics DLCs. Lets not support this!
I haven’t seen any indication yet that this is going to be a paid DLC.
Here is the store page for one of the DLC:

Wow, that’s pretty scummy actually. But this isn’t the first game I’ve played a lot that had large amounts of paid cosmetic DLC.
I can’t say i’m excited for micro-transactions, but so long as it remains for cosmetic stuff I don’t care too much.
Honestly they HAVE to do this, or charge us a subscription, eventually. They can’t keep adding civilizations and/or campaigns indefinitely.
Honestly lots of people have been asking for more architecture sets and unit skins. If these icons are profitable, then maybe they’ll experiment with skins. That might actually allow people to pay for exactly what they want and only what they want.
Not trying to be a microsoft apologist, I can very easily see this going sideways fast. I trust FE but I can’t say I particularly trust Microsoft. We’ll see what happens, but I don’t see this as incontrovertible evidence of DE end times.
They have my money already
I hope that these DLCs would be a cosmetics package - not only Avatars but also completely new exclusive Architecture Sets and Unit skins.
