I won´t let loose

Damn Duke, you did put that thread in your sig.

You're just to lazy to invent early buildings lets have some tribal wars in early game before weapons get stronger. Alright fishing, hunting also 80 but wheel maybe not since stoneworks is already cheap.

Yeah, and then I got spanked by Padma, because my sig was way too long, but it seems like some others also got this kind of PM

@ Ploe: It´s not that I´m lazy, but the early game is really a PITA IMO, It´s way too slow, we added some early techs and also made others more expensive. Yesterday I started a game as Nippon and I noticed that you can´t do anything except pumping out Archers and Axeman, which raises your costs for military units and then my research rate dropped to 20 or 30% and I couldn´t really research fast enough to get out of the devils circle, but maybe I just can´t adopt to the style one has to play with this mod.

But as a conclusion, the early game doesn´t have much to do with Warfare and so I´d like to speed it up as much as possible - I´ll set up a new thread with a poll for that.

Were you playing version 7 or 8?

 

[Duke van Frost]

Version 8.

What about a more detailed report then in the playtestfeedback it would really help me to know what techs are founded in what time. I still think instead of rushing everything we should spice up the ancient era a bit. Two starting settlers are a good idea but I think we need also at least a couple of ancient building with simple effects.
