    Survey: Map bans in Aoe2 DE rated matchmaking

    Posted: 19 Dec 2019 06:04 AM PST

    Hi there! As we now have the option to ban our least favourite maps from the pool in ranked matchmaking, I thought it would be interesting to know, which maps get banned the most. In some SC2 subreddits, there is a survey for every new seasonal mappool so trends become visible. If the devs decide to rotate the pool from time to time, we might start seeing a trend too! I enabled up go 3 bans, as this is the limit for 1v1.

    No Tech Tree in Matchmaking Lobby

    Posted: 19 Dec 2019 01:09 AM PST

    I know they did a lot in the latest patch....

    but would it have killed them add a tech tree button in the matchmaking lobby?

    I need something to do while waiting 5+ mins for my game to start!

    Could we ever see the possibility of new graphics content packs for AOE2 DE?

    Posted: 19 Dec 2019 12:40 AM PST

    Could we ever see the possibility of new graphics content packs for AOE2 DE?

    Pretty much what the title says, or "imagine this, but for AOE2 DE!" The attached image was made by the guy who made the Indian Architecture set for AOE2 HD but it was unfortunately never finished.

    https://preview.redd.it/s6u8d2exxj541.png?width=1596&format=png&auto=webp&s=586682c9d0e96b0c02107836d62a2776b187911a

    I know the devs said they wouldn't be adding any more new civilizations into the game, but would that preclude the possibility of getting more graphical or scenario editor content? AOE2 DE is truly beautiful, and I've seen a lot of people here wondering about the Mongols/Huns/Cumans getting a potential Nomadic Architecture Set, and it seems like now (or well, hopefully soon) with DE's release it would be an excellent time to do such a thing. I also have happy memories of Warsmithy's unique Byzantine Architecture Set back in the HD Steam Workshop, which helped keep them distinct from the regular Mediterranean buildings used by the Italians, Portuguese, and now Spanish.

    I am well aware the game is quite graphically intensive and any new art for the game would take a lot of work, so this is nothing more than a pipe dream -- or if it does happen, probably as paid DLC. Still, even as the latter, is there any possibility this could happen?

    Farms or fish nets?

    Posted: 19 Dec 2019 07:29 AM PST

    On a map with equal parts water and land, which would be better to have? I figured fishing boats would be better because they come with a lot of free fish in the ocean, but that's just a guess.

    an idea for ranked matchmaking regarding the map system

    Posted: 19 Dec 2019 07:21 AM PST

    so the problem is that many people want to choose which map they play, which would make ELO meaningless. So my idea is: split the map pool into groups, like:

    - open maps like arabia, green arabia (why is this not an official map yet?), cenotes, ghost lake...

    - water & more closed maps: team islands, hideout, baltic etc

    - special maps like arena, steppe, nomad, maybe put megarandom in here

    then have players get diminishing ELO if they only play in one map style. this way players can choose the type of map they want to play and the time (one thing that is really bad about the current system: you can't really predict how long a game is gonna be) but you still get rewarded for mastering different types of maps. the maps should still all be made for competitive play though, we can also still have map bans, of course depending on the size the map pools. there could be a problem with players not caring about ELO and be basically smurfing but this doesn't seem like an unsolvable issue.

    I also think the maps for more players than 2 should be slightly different, I could also see the water % more closed maps section only being available in multiplayer as they don't make for a good 1v1 gameplay. and this proposal doesn't change the need for displaying ELO in the lobby.

    and, sorry if a bit offtopic, but can somebody explain why we can only ban 1 to 0 maps in group matches when all players are in one single party? I just don't see the logic behind it.

    December update, game crashes when playing against the AI

    Posted: 19 Dec 2019 07:00 AM PST

    After the december patch, the game became totally unstable for me when playing against the AI. It crashes on me 4 out of 5 times. The crash usually happens shortly after I get up to Castle age. It happened on multiple maps, when playing a Standard game.

    Before the december update I hardly experienced any stability issues, this is very disappointing.

    Anyone experiencing the same issue?

    Can we get to view Civ tech trees while queueing for ranked games?

    Posted: 18 Dec 2019 08:29 AM PST

    It's the perfect time to be able to view tech trees. To look over different civ's and deciding which you want to play or reviewing the one you've decided to play. It's a tiny bit annoying to be trapped on the tab you're in and you can't click anything without exiting the queue.

    Great new patch though, I in no way want to seem displeased about anything. Who would have thought 10 years ago that microsoft would be doing better remasters than blizzard.

    Any clans

    Posted: 19 Dec 2019 06:17 AM PST

    I'm a long time veteran of the Age of Empires series but only ever really played Age of Empires 3 competitively. I recently bought the Definitive Edition and am looking for a reasonably active but not too serious clan.

    Does anyone know of any such clans?

    Interesting side effect of playing against AI with a Treaty

    Posted: 18 Dec 2019 10:03 PM PST

    If you play against the AI with a treaty, the AI is allied to you and it appears they will accept AI commands. I was playing a 3v3 with 2 AIs on my team and 3 AIs on the other team and I asked everyone what is your strategy. Every single AI responded and told me they were building Knights. Kind of weird.

    Perfectly balanced. As all things should be.

    Can we have options to change default unit stance as a QoL?

    Posted: 19 Dec 2019 02:41 AM PST

    To me this was one of the best QoL feature in RoN. You could even configure it on a per building basis. It's sometimes really annoying to see some stragglers unit in a mass production late game situation fuck off to die in aggressive stance.

    I think this feature would be even less impactful than recurring production queue but i'm ready to be downvoted to kingdom come by the '2000 ELO voobly purist' telling me not to ruin their game.

    Some changes missing from the patch

    Posted: 18 Dec 2019 01:33 PM PST

    Great to see so many much-needed changes in the last patch. The developers are encouraging feedback, so here's some things that are needed in the game that were missed.

    Unit icon behind walls

    If you've just build a wall and your villager is standing behind it you simply can't see the villager. Very surprised this hasn't been addressed yet

    ​

    Show elo/number of games in unranked lobbies

    Should be obvious why

    ​

    Flashing idle villager button

    Maybe it's just me but I don't tend to notice the idles nearly as quickly as I should. It would be a small change just to make the idle counter a bit more visible

    ​

    Toggle ability for treb auto-packing

    I can see why this feature was added because for many situations its much much quicker to have your trebs automatically pack up and unpack when you want to attack a new building. However if I have a handful of trebs I'm using to try to snipe down onagers or bombard cannons the last thing I want if for half of my trebs to suddenly start packing up if the unit is at the edge of their range. It really prevents trebs from being viable in these kinds of situations.

    ​

    More things to look at while waiting in the ranked queue.

    It's a little annoying that I can't look at the tech tree or my profile while I'm waiting

    ​

    More stats in the user profile

    My profile tells me my best civ is incas. How does it know this? It must be recording much more information than it's showing me. The stats shown on the profile screen are very minimal.

    Opinions on ballista eles post buff?

    Posted: 19 Dec 2019 03:55 AM PST

    They seem a lot stronger now that they have the same pierce armor values as damned paladins. On equal upgrades xbows need 100+shots to kill one while you only need 6 to kill one and harm the rest. Considering their high survivability and potential to stall in choke points they are not that hard to mass if you get up 1 2 castles. They still have weaknesses but I've massed them a few times on arena and they turned whole games around. Not to forget, it's your only castle age unit to cut trees, that can be pretty huge too. I feel like if this unit was on a better civ or khmer had any economic relevance it could be a really common sight on closed maps

    Any casters staying only with non-DE content?

    Posted: 19 Dec 2019 07:35 AM PST

    The titles my question. I'm in the minority and not following to DE. I'm not even playing much lately but I still like to listen and watch castings in my downtime and at work. Are there any casters who are specifically staying with the old version? Or are they all sticking to DE waiting for the bugs to work themselves out? Thanks!
