Classic-Burger Posted 10 hours ago Report Share Posted 10 hours ago Ideally, there should be different ways for archers to be good, not just one way. Changing the subject, the champion pikes need to be better, I never chose pikes in a Seleucid reform. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Maybe 1 game and/or more) No, only of the games that I played. One can not really extrapolate from that, because on different times there's a different number of players. I'd need a long log of the lobby chat. This has been done afaik, but I haven't seen it. As I heard during covid there were more players (I had a big break then). But since I play (a15/a16) it's about the same number of players in my perception. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I meant the number of players only. How many would you put the number of players at? I'm guessing it's about 50 per week and 30 in a day?

ffm2 Posted 5 hours ago Author Report Share Posted 5 hours ago I'd guess 300 a week and 50 per day. But my guess is as good as yours. The development over the alphas would be interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The development over the alphas would be interesting. Hmm, probably increase per alpha would help us gauge other interesting things. But 300 seems a stretch. But there's no way to tell.

Interesting analysis of the economic impact. I have seen some players use it akin to the revolt option in Age III or Flemish revolution in Age II, basically a power spike for an existing army which they then throw at you. And unfortunately not everything works correctly currently, eh the missing attack animation on auxiliary lancers and the legionary keyword for first cohort champions. The second is more significant as it impairs the synergy between centurions and the sword champions. The main attraction though of reforms has been the onagar, which honestly gets let down by the drastic shift in eco and the need to often restructure that eco so you can keep doing things, often inefficiently. So while I like the concept flavour, I do wish Onagars where separate and paywalled like champions are rather than having to mess up my entire eco every time just for the option of building them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
