Nice island village you got there. Be a shame if the Mongols showed up.

fuck that, buff infantry further, everyone still only goes knights/archers + trash unit/siege. If militia were to stay the way they were before but you could
>A
spam the shit out of them faster by making production faster tru the ages, if not slightly cheaper on the gold making the gold cost 15 or so
>B
they should all take less pop space, so along with with your standard knight/archer whatever shit you pull off militia line stays viable by the fact that instead of having 10 skirmishers/pikemen/hussars you could have 15 to 20 champs
>C
AoE2 was always meant to be a RPS with infantry-cav-archers, but militia line loses to both which is fucking retarded, militia line should get a +1 against cavalry per age or per upgrade, i'd go per age because its silly that only scouts, eagles, camels and sergeants get a bonus through aging up but militia, the only unit you can produce in the dark age stays the same shit.

Keep 2 out of 3 of these changes and militia line will stay relevant, they just need a unique role to make them stand out from ranged and cavalry, being a shittier siege unit is not it.

i dont like nonyuro civs, and i like making handcannoneers in castle age. allows me to use my favorite unit longer and is easier to get to than trying to rush to imp every game.

>>714336403
never did like your less pop space idea. everything should be 1pop like it always has been. changing that makes it feel like the 3chinkdoms where they added in fuckin heroes.

Militia line is already viable. The problem is that people want to play them as Scouts and keep disengaging and taking free hits.
Just put 6 of them to attack buildings, destroy enemy towers with them, get 20 longswords on their TC before first castle is up.

Low ELO Legends would be better if the commentator didn't understand the "meta" either and just went off raw game sense.
>Tssk tssk blue is going for men at arms as Britons....well, at this ELO I guess maybe they're someone's retarded ignorant grandpa with dementia who, get this, plays the game without having watched more than three or four red bull ass gape cups, so really they're still figuring out the very basic mechanics of the game, true caveman fps here folks haha
Man shut the fuck up and go build more archery ranges on islands or some shit

No downtime is a lie. If you feel pressure when you're not under attack you need to chill out a bit bro, drink some tea.

my issue is that there's always a scout and then there's always a threat of raid since I can't know what the player is going to do. aoe2 seems to be doing just fine in terms of a playerbase so i guess its just not my type of game

They are okay in early feudal, but have no role in late feudal or imperial, SPECIALLY in castle age where they could use something to set them apart from knights and archers.

Same. I never make ugly-ass walls of my houses and other sweaty nonsense. I build a nicely laid-out town and leave a massive army permanently encamped outside my front gate. Then I defeat the enemy using a small raiding party of full upgraded cavalry and 5 trebs/bombards.

wish there was an RTS that based your success by how nice your city looks when you roll out troops. Like some sort of hidden morale system that directly correlates into stat buffs
