[Video] Further review of the PuP - archer micro isn't as great as I thought

Age of Empires II: DE II - Discussion

Here is another video about the PuP in which I look more closely at the ranged units micro specifically.

I came to the following conclusions :

  • Turning around and moving back still causes some awkward reshaping/regrouping

  • Stand ground makes it worse

  • Attack move seems broken

  • Units still have trouble to assess which path is clear to take

  • Still far better than the current patch, but definitely not something we should sleep on as “pathing fixed”

Excellent analysis, thank you it confirms some of the issues I had suspected when trying the new PUP.
Better but no perfect yet. Interesting that the regrouping issue is less of a problem when in aggressive vs stand ground mode.

I can’t get enough time to play. But what about TC’s arrow fire? Is it still missing every single volley?

still many scenario mode bugs in pup. when I do a trigger effect the units go to ridiculous places or don’t attack.
