  1. By virtue of simply having access to archers, Carthage is an "archer civ" sure, but that doesn't mean their archers have to be particularly good. In fact, I'm not aware of a single recorded historical incident of Carthage using archers to effectiveness. Elephants, mercenaries, and skirmish cavalry should be their trifecta.
  2. The only reason to introduce such a thing again would be for asymmetry. As an aside, I don't think I've ever agreed with a single one of your gameplay takes. It's kinda strange.
  3. They are saying barracks should add to the pop cap, like houses do, and that fortresses should add more to the pop cap than they already do.
  4. Yeah, it's a mess. If they want them to depict the 4th/5th century Western Romans (which is not contemporary with the "Celts" and "Britons" in the game, who are depicted around 1200 AD, wth!), then their campaign should have nothing to do with Trajan's campaigns, which should use Romans from the high empire era, with lorica segmentata. Their campaign should have been about Aetius or (pushing it) Constantine (would have been cool, since it genuinely would allow the player to triumph).
  5. That is really confusing, but if true then it makes more sense. Still kind of weird since they already have a much more appropriate Byzantine faction for that.
  6. I don't really buy this justification, since this expansion is supposed to bring AOE's time period to the AOE2 engine.
  7. None of the civs had to fit with each other before. So, it's still an odd or noteworthy design choice.
  8. Pretty much. They should just not have the decay element enabled.
  9. I'm curious as to why they are depicting the Roman army as the 4th century Dominate instead of the usual 1st-2nd century Principate.
  10. There used to be a large and robust Deathmatch scene back in the MSN Gaming Zone days of AOE1 and AOE2. I myself ran an exclusively Deathmatch clan for these games for about 3 years.
  11. Yes, this should change IMHO and I think there would be broad support for changing it.
  12. Roman-dominated Egypt? EA Part 2, potentially.
  13. Yeah, the AI needs modded as well, but that's beyond my current skillset. I will say the current development version has the AI playing pretty well though, but still not as good as in vanilla. Do you play random maps or skirmish maps in DE? Random maps don't have all of the features.
