Alekusu Posted April 25, 2017 Report Share Posted April 25, 2017 Hello all, it's been a while! I am planning to do some gameplay videos again on my youtube channel but because it has been so long (about 3 alphas) I'd like to know more about the gameplay before uploading new videos so here are my questions (a lot of it and not in a special order!) - What is the best civ in Alpha 21 and why? - What is the worst civ in Alpha 21 and why? - What are good timings to reach phase 2 and phase 3? - What are the OP units ? (like slingers or sword cav or archer champs or whatever) - Are there New features that change old build orders considerably? - Do people use Corals and Fishing? - How are rams / elephants? - Are healers usefull now? - Is it faster to destroy or capture? (with citizen soldier and with champions) - What is a good timing to reach 300 pop if booming? - Who is the best player of the moment (I guess borg)? - Who are other good players I should try to cast for some commented videos? - Is there any special strategy lately like tower rush or fast champion or slinger rush? - What is a good timing to get first hero? - What is a good timing to get 20 champions? - What mods are Sufficiently advanced to do a video? I'll watch some videos too but if someone can answer those questions it will help anyway! Thanks a lot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lion.Kanzen Posted April 25, 2017 Report Share Posted April 25, 2017 Iberians are the best with Romans. Other guys can answer. corral aren't the answer to, but fishingband hunting is the best. @borg- @sphyrth DelendacEst is great mod 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alekusu Posted April 25, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2017 Yes I'm following these two topics but still not enough to answer all of my questions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lion.Kanzen Posted April 25, 2017 Report Share Posted April 25, 2017 @elexis can answer that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sphyrth Posted April 25, 2017 Report Share Posted April 25, 2017 Best and worst factions: Even I can't tell But I'll just comment based on popularity: Best: Britons Worst: Carthage Phase 2: 4-8 mins Phase 3: 10-15 mins OP Units: Slingers against buildings (especially Phase 1), Spear Cavs for Rushes, Boudicca's Aura Build Orders - Can't comment. I think your old videos are still applicable. You just need to update it to Alpha 21. Corrals because, for some reason, Cavalry Rushing has become popular Rams / Elephants - Still your typical siege weapons. Ranged Siege Units are nearly impractical Capturing Champions destroy/capture faster Garrisoned structures are much more difficult to capture Lowering a structure's HP will make it easier (hence siege weapons still play a role) Booming to 300 at any time. Not good (Just because of Alpha's lag issue) Best player (at the moment): borg- Sometimes I think PhyZic. Other Notable Players: Jeane Claude, and soloooyo - These guys have playstyles that are worth noting. Special Strategy: Gauls' Naked Fanatic Rush, Iberian Fire Ships, Iberian Siege Horse Hit-and-Run Tactics, and yes Slinger and Cav Rushes. The Persian Chariot Rush, though viable, is not used often (at least in the replays). Getting Champions and Heroes (Not sure. Maybe ASAP as you as you get to City Phase?) Mods: DE - I don't feature this because my graphics card just can't do justice. DE is made to be played with graphics maxed. Terra Magna - The "new" kid. I was told that Rise of the East merged with the Mesoamerican Mod to make this 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alekusu Posted April 25, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2017 Thanks! I'll practice a bit before making videos again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alekusu Posted April 25, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2017 One more question: Is there a gathering speed bonus or a damage/armor bonus when reaching phase 2 and 3? I mean for example does a spearman during phase 1 have the exact same statistics as a spearman during phase 3 (without any upgrade researched)? If there is a difference, what is that difference?

Lion.Kanzen Posted April 25, 2017 Report Share Posted April 25, 2017 Still same if you don't make, the upgrades. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sphyrth Posted April 25, 2017 Report Share Posted April 25, 2017 And to add. I just remembered: Units now gain experience with each hit, not with each kill... they get loot for killing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wowgetoffyourcellphone Posted April 25, 2017 Report Share Posted April 25, 2017 (edited) 4 minutes ago, Alekusu said: I mean for example does a spearman during phase 1 have the exact same statistics as a spearman during phase 3 (without any upgrade researched)? If there is a difference, what is that difference? This can be found in the phase tech json files, opened by any text editor such as notepad or notepad++. For example, we see this for Town phase: "tooltip": "Advance to Town Phase, which unlocks more structures and units. Territory radius for Civic Centers increased by +30%. Citizen soldiers max health increased by +20%. All structures +7 garrisoned regeneration rate.", "modifications": [ { "value": "TerritoryInfluence/Radius", "multiply": 1.30, "affects": "CivCentre" }, { "value": "Health/Max", "multiply": 1.2, "affects": "CitizenSoldier" }, { "value": "Capturable/GarrisonRegenRate", "add": 7.0, "affects": "Structure" } ], And this for City phase: "tooltip": "Advance to City Phase, which unlocks more structures and units. Territory radius for Civic Centers increased by another +50%. Citizen soldiers max health increased by +10%. All structures +9 garrisoned regeneration rate.", "modifications": [ { "value": "TerritoryInfluence/Radius", "multiply": 1.50, "affects": "CivCentre" }, { "value": "Health/Max", "multiply": 1.1, "affects": "CitizenSoldier" }, { "value": "Capturable/GarrisonRegenRate", "add": 9.0, "affects": "Structure" } ], To put it succuinctly, all citizen soldiers gain health when phasing up.

Lion.Kanzen Posted April 26, 2017 Report Share Posted April 26, 2017 Can be nice "build orders" again in a pinned topic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alekusu Posted April 26, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2017 I agree, I'm working on 4 build orders with Seleucids (what you guys did with the art is just so awesome) (Boom, fast hero, mass cav archers and fast expand). I'll make a video for each but probably will put the detailed build order in the forum. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
