[Rush by dogs and win !]

Well, to say that it is a mistake p1 dogs because a much better player than you killed many units of yours, is not a valid point.
If you lost 100 units to 20 dogs, the problem is with your skills I think, no offense.

Dogs are extremely vulnerable, you can make towers, palisades etc.

then dakyeras with rank 1800 is a weak player who lost 50 men aginast dogs ? towers cant counter dogs like what u consider.

then u say i need to make towers and need to make men in early game with low wood and slow economy. while my opponent can spam many dogs only with food that is easy to access, its like he has a dog creator factory, and its balanced ?

It is a valid strategy, mainly because we want Celts to be rush civilizations.

Dogs can kill women easy yes, but they can hardly do that inside the CC, because they have a very low vision range.
The current state is better than the dog in a23 which alone can kill 10 women.
To train a first dog you need to invest 350 in resources, while your enemy can train like 4 soldiers with the same resource, a matter of choice.

If you play against brit be aware that it is a viable strategy, and training soldiers or making towers can be interesting to avoid this rush.

 

Its not a good one. Chrstgrt killed like 100 people with dogs from me and dakyras and they were mostly  men...

For vision, a player can easily put a cav between them.

At least u could limit them by metal. For example 100 food 20 metal. It stop players to spam dogs easily.

Dogs in p1 is really a big wrong.

Hi guys. 

I wanna talk about a strange update in a24

Dogs in p1

Why not ? They r fast. Easy to spam. Just need 100 food. 

All of u need is a few hunts or extra berries.

After that start spamming dogs. They kill women better than any cav

Also they kill ranged men easily too.

U can make a polar sea for ur opponent. Even worse because dogs r faster than wolves.

A wise host would ban Britons from his games!

Certainly any feedback is very useful (mainly what is wrong), but it is fair to bring some improvements too, like:

1 - stronger cavalry

2 - ranged units weaker

3 - champs back to the game

4 - spear cavalry attacks correctly now

5 - cant dance

6 - hero cannot be trained after dying

7 - melee units chasse easer

8 - formation works better

etc.., etc...

It seems to me that there are more positive changes than negative ones, so I think we are on the right track. What I can recommend to you is to keep playing and maybe have a different view.

Not agree with stronger cavalry. I think they r weaker. And in a23 they were strong enough. 

Ranged unit weaker !? And how archers r so strong now !? They crush every thing

Hero can't be trained after dying was not good choice I think.

Is rams attack soldiers realistic? Catas and shooters have soldiers operating, so in theory archers would be killing those soldiers and not attacking the catapult, and it was also to balance, because these units are now stronger.

Rush is still very plausible, I already proved it in my games, I won all with rush (although I don't like the rotation).

Say that civilizations are the same now for me is not true.

Did u ask yourself why many players didn't like a24 and got back to a23

Also I think a game should be developed in a line, unfortunately devs broke the line and made something new, even strong players r learning the game again...

Also they mostly didn't like it.

About archers they r too strong. They even kill spears and pikes easily. Really hard to counter them.

Now archer civs r crazy strong

Just image many units try to destroy  seigs like rams that r supported by many archers. That poor units r easy target for archers then they die easily.

I even feel devs removed the random for archers attack or at least decreased it! 

[why alpha 24 is not nice ?]

hi guys.

i wanna say some reason that why alpha 24 is not good.

1- sound is not good. when u fight u even cant feel it because action sound is hard to hear even if u put it to max from settings. a23 had very nice sounds i have no idea why devs changed it.

2- there r low differences between civs now and its not interesting. in fact if civs r almost same the game will be boring. in a23 there r enough differences between civs.

3- economy of a24 is terrible. a23 had much better economy. why devs changed it ? in a24 its hard to reach 200 pop and u r always run out of wood.

4- a24 is less realistic. for example how possible catas and rams cant atatck soldiors ? its really boring.
and how possible bowmen r able to destroy catas and bolts ?

5- the game is still laggy. i even think lag in a24 is more than lag in a23. its why many players prefer to host 3v3 games and avoid 4v4 games.

6- in a24 u r less able to rush. no rush no fun. rushing makes games more realistic and thriller.

i think a23 is much better than a24. in fact a24 is like a different game. when i play it i dont feel im playing 0ad !

im looking for new game ! any suggestion ?

Thank you for the advice @king reza the great. Does the Discord+VPN method help, even if the attacker already knows my real IP? I guess he knows the IP of all of us.

when u use vpn it changes ur ip! its why i asked to change ip by vpn before hosting

[Are you aware of the scale of DoS attacks?]

u can use this way

1 - make a group in discord (or other messenger) and use it as lobby. players need to be online there if they want to play.
2- lets suppose there r 8 online players in the group and they want to play. then the host first must change his ip by a vpn ( there r many free vpns like hotspot or psiphon), after that the host should host out of the lobby. other players can join him by the ip.
