Good morning saars

>>2331418
Good morning! Why is a tribal dilapidated impoverished shithole civ starting with +25 resources again? Having a hard time wrapping my head around that

>>2331435
because colonialism stole from the natives, chud

>>2331435
They turned up late and so were busy gathering in the dark age?

>>2331435
Cannibalism.

Tupi's bonus should have been food on enemy unit kills
Cowards

>>2331460
Meh, boring. And they already get food discount on unit upgrades and recover resources from lost units (that one will surely get nerfed into the ground).

>>2331449
but it's a bonus to all resources, not just food. Did they trade bones and build stuff out of them?

>>2331467
You eat some European monks, scavenge the wood from their staves, loot their valuables, and pull some pebbles out of their sandals.

Which features of the new civs will be wound back after a month?
Everything being divisible by 5 helps.

there are 3 threads on the catalog rn, which is the real one?

>>2331411
Mapuche? More like Mapoopoo, heh. I'm going to play Portuguese/Spanish and stomp all the dlc buyer noobs on a new account when it comes out. Nothing personell, just someone's gotta do it

>>2331609
this one, the other either hit bump limit or is dedicated to resident schizos

>>2331691
Arent DLC civs always overpowered at the beginning, then they nerf them once every regular series goy bought them?

>>2331695
Yes, of course; however I'll simply dump my elo a bit so the skill difference makes up for the civ difference as my conquistadors slaughter the inflood of Mexicans and Chileans coming in to play their native civ. Again, it just has to be done

>>2331695
These civs don't seem that overpowered from their bonuses, Mapuche seems the most straightforward to play, they have a better version of Franks berry bonus, they have settlements that can train trash so you get a head start on production, they seem like they will be great until the game goes long and you are outteched.
Muisca is basically Mayans, Champis might be better than eagles but they have no halb, -50% gold on aging is not going to help a lot, they do have healing on their settlements which could facilitate cheese.
Tupi are trash, they have good towers but nothing else.

Anyone wanna play team or lobby games?

It's literally western europe who is constantly starting shit with the whole world, The US, China, Asia in general, Russia, Africa. Now they even started beef with fucking south america.
Hell, back when it was just Europe, Asia and a little bit of North Africa, they were still killing each other over petty shit.

>>2331789
>It's literally western europe who is constantly starting shit with the whole world
It's literally russia who is starting shit with all its neighbors for no reasons other than banan. The ultimate goy cattle nation going to die in hundreds of thousands for... banan. No other reason at all. Just banan. Everyone else is interested in economic, cultural and social growth, while russia and russians just want banan and they will kill you if you deny them banan. Then they will rape your corpse. Then they will get drunk (5th time in one day). Literally everyone in europe was under 1% of GDP dedicated to military spending until the banan chimpout of 2022. What country that "starts shit" does it with under 1% of GDP investment? The answer is: none. Because russians and (you) made it up. Because you just want banan and will make up literally anything to justify getting it.

When are slavs getting the Rus split

On the OP, considering it is the shitposter using screenshoots that dont belong to him

>>2331411

Mapuches look like an open map early pressure civ, could be very annoying. How hard they fall in late games depends on the elite bolas rider. I like the concept, the most interesting of the 3.

Muiscas could be a very annoying clown civ. Probably a top tier archer civ, specialty in late game. Archers usually go well with siege more than with monks, so let's see how they're played. Great team bonus

Tupi the most average of the 3. Seems like the Maya but with a worse economy.

I hope that the Inca keeps the eagle as an option even if they have now the champi as a scout, will be fun, and they are an infantry civ after all, losing 2 units and gaining one doesn't seem right. But I think that it's difficult that the devs will do that.

It's not edited and I'm not any kind of poster, I just like playing as Vikings on any map type and going Berserks even when they get hard countered. Unironically get a grip on your schizophrenia

Has anyone been able to get any 1v1 games on arena lately? I'll favourite arena and ban Arabia/lowland and people will just constantly dodge/insta resign until I get fed up and unban Arabia.

New architecture set is looking good. Now they need to pull their fingers out of their asses and put fix 3k and turn it into what it should've been

>>2332282
there's something kinda funny about the destruction animation for these hut on a hill type castles
yeah lemme just lob rocks at it until the whole hill collapses like it's hollow inside

>>2332274
What do you mean? All three new civs plus the Inca share the new set

>>2332288
I'll be honest, I don't like any of the destruction animations. They shouldn't look perfectly fine and then slowly crumble. They should look like they just got hit with a catapult or bombard and collapse rapidly.

>>2332336

i think i explained myself wrong. What i meant was they were going to make the set based entirely on the Inca architecture, and then just slap it to the other 3. But then they later regretted it, and added things from the Tupi, Mapuche and Muisca.

>>2332337

i mean, these animations are made just for eye-candy, they arent meant to be realistic. I mean just look at the animation destruction of the Pyramid, like its a broken kinder-egg lol

I would like if each major patch had a different unique skin for another building or unit.
Units redone for the architecture sets
Buildings like Churchs which don’t change through the ages slowly becoming unique.

In my little town in the southern latitudes of Chile there's fortifications built by the spanish that are still standing. One of them got a chemamüll (the wooden statues seen here) planted in the middle and got repurposed as a little plaza that overlooks the nearby river. When I saw the Mapuche wonder I thought about how cool it would've been for it to instead be a captured spanish fort with mapuche paraphernalia and a chemamüll planted front and center

After all, the spanish never managed to completely drive the Mapuche away from the Araucanía

Always been the case since aoe I, they made whole 3d models just for the sprites. With the technology of that time units looked like characters from ReBoot of course, but still looked better than, say, wc2 sprites.

They couldn't even pull that. Indios can't live in conjunction with nature. Living in the congosur you learn they absolutely hate seeing green, which is why their neighbourhoods are always grey.

This is simple racism. Economic depravity is caused by western exploitation and unfair trading. Brazil has been plundered by the West since its discovery and even after de-colonization.

Brazilians are actually very ecologically conscious and in touch with nature. It is western corporations appropriating their land and devastating it which damages their natural ecosystem and further traps them in a cycle of poverty. Enabled by corruption and international pressure (Just look at what happened to Venezuela when the refused to kneel to America).

The United Fruit Company might be the most famous name but it is not the only corporation to practically invade South America and it is something which very much still happens today.

Maybe the goal is to kill this game at some point to make room for a new flagship RTS (AoE5?). Must be annoying for them that players still cling to the old games instead of rushing to buy new ones. They'll keep selling DLCs for as long as it's profitable while the spleeting and gameplay alterations gradually decimate the playerbase.

So are they trying to get the BR playerbase on board? Why else would they add Tupi.
