AOE3 Forums

I see why it might be a good idea, but people with lvl 100 hc+ will have all the cards you can possibly have and will be able to send 100 cards throughout the game.

And although people would no longer choose the wrong deck they would be more likely to send the wrong card.

Finally, a deck of 25 cards is more than enough in my eyes, Ive never played a DM or supremecy game where i used all my cards and only 2/3 treaty games.

The whole idea of the home city was to add a new element of skill, allowing players to go for a punt - and having a more aggressive orientated deck or hoping to last a long time and out eco the other guy with economy cards. If you could use all cards it means games will go longer as people will be able to send all unit shipments and it completly takes away the originality of each deck - peoples decks will be almost the same...

Ok the point is if yuo remove evrything the game would be so dull itd b like AoM without The godpowers or Gears of war without guns yuor just making a nooby thing so yuo can make this so easy for yuo and for every other noob that agrees with you,well yuor deck idea is frikin piece of crap so if yuo dont like the way ESO made it (which is very kool)then go play Telletubies or something

It is what it is.

I will build a deck for each map type for each civ.

 

alright but if you look abcka t this chat in triumph after eso made your idea reality for eso you will laugh but stop laughing because when yuo logged on,everything was deserted,no one was on the pop count read 1(u)and there was no games you felt guilty and wanted to change it so eso changed it next patch.still no one came on and yuo got word that AoM was crowded with over 100000 people online yuo felt guilty and wanted to change it but couldnt because everyone pested you for ruining the perfect balance of AoEIII for Them.

Of the roughly 3000 people playing online, about 1400 is age3, 1400 is tad and 200 is warchiefs. XML queries indicate this. AOM/AOT total population was not vastly different, but the difference was in searching for games, there was not a breakdown by something other than skill/PR/ELO as well; AKA home city tier. Granted, when most people have HC25+ they have that part set to all home city tiers so that part of matchmaking is irrelevant.

ES has done a great job balancing, especially when you consider the number of civilizations. Companies are more competetive since age 2 series as there are more of them. Whether or not home cities are in or not is not going to drastically change the online population. I am just trying to say go with another idea or HC spinoff of some sort for age 4 (whenever that is) and put random civ option back in at least (nice for game browser when trying to counter each other before game has even started) Truly, the only other thing they missed is that maps themselves have things more randomly placed, but I do understand that increases chances of map screw.

I rather like things now with 3000 online, instead of 5000 (2000 smurfs) and I guess if I could spend 1000 hours modding tech tree, etc I could spend a few setting up the home cities. I will jeer and cheer with Age 4 as well. And they did get rid of autoqueue which was another huge bonus of age 3 (ottoman only one civ and it is pretty balanced)

I like this game or I would not play, mod or comment on it. Start the game already.
