Recommend adding more description for Antiquity Mode. Info on it is pretty scant and vague.
Things like:
- What’s the purpose of oysters (i.e., gold)?
- How to take advantage of oysters (i.e., fishing boats only, or can villys gather, too)?
- Why is it called “Antiquity Mode”? (The only reason I kind of know what it is referring to is due to forum discussions talking about some era that took place before AoE2’s time-frame or something. I have a feeling the name alone gets lost on many people. I first thought of antiques at a thrift store and was like ‘huh?’
) - Is Wood Trading just for Trade Cog boats, or Market trade carts on land, too?
- What maps does it work on, or not work on? Oysters don’t work on all maps.
- Why do oysters only appear on certain water maps? Shouldn’t they be on all maps with water if it’s enabled? If not, how do you know before starting a map that it will not work? It’s a lot of trial and error to find a map that has them. And even if oysters don’t work on certain maps, does “wood trading” still work on every map / every water map? If not, why not?
Plus, any other pertinent and relevant info we should know.
Current state:
By comparison, other game modes and menu items have a lot more description:
I think it was added to the game at the same time as one of the DLCs (RoR?), but since I didn’t buy it yet, I was a little clueless about it. Trying to figure it out requires more effort than should be necessary (i.e., Google searches or trial and error)
