  1. a way has to be found for the cavalry to fulfil its role in stamping out these little pests. In theory, ranged units are deadly little pests that annoy the melee warriors on a battlefield. The cavalry, on the other hand, is the middle class unit (depending on the faction) that can give you a hard time with its tactical manoeuvres. And the melee infantry is ultimately the ultimate hero. therefore missiles are just a distraction, few civilisations have mastered the bow or the sling, without even mentioning machines like the bolt shooter. the cavalry of this era is still primitive and serves only to flee faster and wear expensive armour, not to mention for example that they only had one hit, charging constantly and accompanying the infantry. It was not until the invention of the Cataphract that things would change or the tactics of nomadic peoples, with thousands of horses, that would force even the Romans to change their weapons. You have to take into account that arrows or horses in real life are not infinite. if you think about it, missiles and their role should not be very op, in terms of gameplay, since they don't have a counter system (except spear/spike vs. cavalry). then we will have the problem of missile vs cavalry and maybe in the long run missile vs spear/spike.
  2. the first thing that can make you xenophobic, or racist or classicist, call it what you will. It's the accent, the particular way of speaking, I speak strange in my Spanish for example. I have friends from Argentina and one from Colombia.
  3. it would be excellent to be able to make a url link.here... nobody is playing with the mod/patch. The problem is psychological, a mod is not the same as a patch. if we call it an optional patch it would be easier for people to accept the change in multiplayer. this would need less opposition. ignore lootboxes thing and concentrate on how tempting it looks to press that golden button.
  4. @Genava55 complained about the speed of the units actual units.
  5. This is the ideal situation for a soft-counter. Spear cavalry vs skirmisher and archers.
  6. you have to try the combats in different situations. not just 1 v1. As they said above, the Pathfinder is important, you have to see how it behaves under formations and other pathfinder issues.
  7. all this already change in the game. By default, buildings are now attacked and to capture you use the "C" key. I already suggested this. Good not to be alone in this.
  8. Here I found a video with the original AOM version. https://youtube.com/clip/UgkxSMDWN5cCIx4CJ1urFr9yar1j35bUvq70 https://youtu.be/br22e5izGo4b
  9. This can only be known by testing (we all have variations of the same idea). Hopefully it will be spectacular and will generate tactics and maneuvers.
  10. I'm all for it if it achieves the results. But it is somewhat controversial as far as I can see and it could be difficult to memorize.
  11. That depends on what we want to do. What do we want to do?
  12. Modo de captura la bandera, pero por etapas?
  13. I'm not a competitive player, playing just to win at all costs and in 30 minutes seems very entertaining to me. For me the fun is having a big battle like in the ancient era, with all kinds of military tactics. That of winning by a cavalry Rush seems boring to me.The fun is figuring out how to use new troops or a new way to win even if it takes h1:30. I like more to play as LARP.
  14. I continue with the idea of creating phases in which the buildings improve, especially the texture.
  15. That society could be one and beliefs could be another. The Romans are not civilized as they pretended, what Rome had of sophisticated brother a question of bureaucracy and laws. For example the Middle Ages in Italy is still under the influence and classical Roman thought. The only thing that changed is that religion became more sophisticated as Christianity came from even more complex religions in the Middle East. If we compare the Celtic religion, the Roman religion is in its infancy compared to the Babylonian or Egyptian religion.
  16. We should schedule battles(matches) to test the changes. I have to admit this : playing against a real player is very different playing against artificial intelligence.
  17. graphically the fire should be as simple as mythology. So it does not demand so many graphic resources.
