I refer to my suggestion of adding one-sided "agreements" for peace deals as alternative to grabbing cities.

As well as reduce production, supply penalty would make more sense if it provided a combat penalty. If you can't properly supply your units, they shouldn't fight as well.

I actually think this is desperately needed to improve AI. Especially in naval battles, the enemy AI just bumps into you and then attacks you next turn rather than do those things simultaneously.

If getting affinities is so easy, then one solution would be to extend the maximum number of affinity levels (probably by around 4), and then increase max affinity level prerequisite for affinity victories and to delay the upgrades from affinities by 1-3 depending on unit type. Since it is also...

Besides maybe purity, I don't exactly see why you have assigned those characteristics for each affinity. As for why there are 3 affinities, it makes sense because I don't know what affinity there could be to define what humanity could become next besides the ones we already got. I think there is...

Well, I have read various threads here and yeah I've made my mind up and I am going to get RT. More good words of expansion than bad and BE steam store has reviews still mixed at 52% of 13,000 or so reviews. Just waiting for a sale though. Maximum discount I'm predicting is 33%, sitting at...

I was just thinking about whether I am in a gaming rut right now until I found this thread. I am pretty much in same situation as civvver: I got plenty of games, but nothing that screams "play me". My current installed games on steam on are dota 2, terraria, cities skylines, civ 5 and CivBE...

Ah yes, that too. Not easy to pull off unless you're the Allies, using the APCs. Also depends on how damaged the building is before you can capture it. In CNC, they made it way easier where it just required 1 engineer. Reminds me of one CNC covert ops expansion mission as GDI where you...

No, I am referring to the several gunpowder units in AoE2: hand canoneer (may have forgot the exact spelling but it's the common gunpowder ranged unit), janissary (Turk UU), Conquistador (Spanish UU), bombard cannon + the associated heroes, cannon galleon. In my plays I always wanted to...

Nice building designs. Anything else that has changed? The pic containing purple units seems to show some unique archer unit. I would like to see if they made balance patches. The Briton longbowmen had insane range. The war elephants were also pretty OP despite some hard counter units like...

So glad at least someone mentioned this game. Red Alert was my first strategy game. I also got the 2 expansions (those single missions and such, there's one where all units are insanely buffed and another where you fight a superfaction as Soviets) and also Command N Conquer + that expansion...

1) You could argue that they're not as crucial and if you get to upgrade gunners to t4, they'll do as much damage as a t3 artillery against a city anyway. 2) True, but the approach opens up early domination rather well, if not crippling all opponents so that you can progress slowly.

What game speed? Game in mind that AI on Apollo start with +1 affinity level in each affinity. If it's quick or standard, that's to be expected. If epic or marathon, yeah that's pretty quick for AI.

Firaxis were going to add t3 hybrid units but then they inexplicably removed it. Probably because you only needed like 3 levels in 2 affinities to get it and you might get to t3 units before turn 100 on quick or something.

Hmm, now that's pretty good. Imagine if drone cage had that effect and you'd have really strong defensive combo with the golems.

Why be "on the fence" when creating a mod? Mods are all about experimentation. You got the idea, implement it, if you succeed, congratulations. If you fail, at least you tried it. Innovators such as yourself embrace failure all the time so there's no need to be "on the fence". :)

It's true in the sense that AI does not really know how to win an active peaceful victory, namely purity and supremacy victories, with some exceptions to contact victory. Including any bugs and any necessary balance patches, any changes should address AI ability to win these victories.

The name of the said kraken is loch ness. Now the Scots know how it feels to live with Loch Ness.

In absolute terms, yes, AU sounds broken. In relative terms, however, AU is not broken. There are many ways of achieving balance. You could either have each sponsor having rather weak UAs providing flexible ways of using them or very strong UAs that create rather nuanced strategies, as you...

So default settings are maxed at 8, but in advanced the max players is 10, not 12? Has anyone tried this on smaller maps? :p:crazyeye:
