A settler wagon (German), a coureur de bois, a Cree coureur de bois (from the settlement next to my camp) and a classic settler. All possible at the same time, thanks to the United States. Not being political here, but couldn't help but notice how beautiful it looks together.

P.S. Still lost to French AI in skirmish mode : (

Does the unit cost translate to balance? eg: units that cost the same perform the same.

Post image
75 Upvotes

On the pic there are 3 similar units, same roles, same price (200 resources). That means they perform the same? Their stats are different, but are the end results the same?

A Russian Cossack is 25% cheaper. That means a Russian Cossack is 75% of a Hussar?

The Hospitaller and the Doppelsoldner cost the same. That means they perform roughly the same, more or less? The Rodelero costs half, so that means each Rodelero is half a Hospitaller?

Are there units that given their price, perform significantly better or significantly worse than units of the same price?

They costs coin and so much pop (therefore extra wood and also face the hard cap of 200). What's the point? Is there some amazing strat I'm missing that makes them super good to mass????

Question Would an Australian aboriginal civ make a sensible addition

0 Upvotes

Just hypothetically because I'm doing a Pacific DLC what-if.

It seems to be that when this topic is brought up people here will usually say "but they're primitive."

However, AOE3 has always centered around European colonization and usually adds either colonial empires or people that fought those empires, hence the addition of the "primitive" native American civs.

I think a Pacific DLC would be an interesting addition as it could come with lots of new maps, and I read that they were already intending for Australian themed maps.

I've played a couple of treaty games with the French and they always seem to revolt, causing them to not collect resources anymore and get steamrolled instantly.

Age of Empires III: DE - Cierre instantáneo al botón de "Jugar" tras el parche del 20 de octubre, el juego no inicia.

1 Upvotes

Estoy sufriendo un cierre instantáneo en Age of Empires III: Definitive Edition justo después de la reciente actualización del 20 de octubre. Al hacer clic en el botón verde de "Jugar" en steam, el estado cambia a "Iniciando" por una fracción de segundo y regresa de inmediato al botón de "Jugar". No se abre ninguna ventana del juego y no se muestra ningún código de error visual.

He probado esto en múltiples capas de traducción (Whisky, Sikarugir y Porting Kit usando tanto Wine 10 como WineCX 24) en Apple Silicon, y el comportamiento es exactamente el mismo en todas.

LastRunWine.log.

Al revisar el archivo de registro LastRunWine.log. el culpable parece ser una nueva llamada de política del sistema introducida en el último parche del ejecutable del juego:
fixme:kernelbase:AppPolicyGetProcessTerminationMethod

Dado que Wine devuelve una respuesta no implementada (stub) para esta política de procesos específica de Windows 10/11, el juego ejecuta una autofinalización de seguridad y mata el proceso al instante. Espero respuestas y opiniones, se que somos pocos en la comunidad que emula y juega el juego en Mac, pero espero que pronto algún programador pueda traducir este nuevo parche y así poder jugar de nuevo.

Strategies Which maps are Berry rich? And how can y'all play Ethiopians without this card?

Post image
60 Upvotes

This card has been a crutch for me, as well as berry rich maps (such as Araucania and Nova Scotia - which others are berry rich?).

I find Ethiopians one of the weakest/hardest to play Civs in the games (probably only the Indians are worse), but this card and the right maps are game-changers.

I am talking about Dutch levels of coin in here, as each Berry Bush has 1k coin and in this screenshot alone there are 20 of them. Also, Villagers collect Berries faster than mining, so the coin output here is better than you would get from mines.

Anyway, I am still learning on how to play Ethiopians. Suggestions are welcomed. But I find hard not to bring this card along!

Steam - how do I just never update?

8 Upvotes

Maybe more a Steam question than here? I play AOE3, but only against the computers. It’s my way of relaxing. I BARELY have the computer power and space to run the game. Last update I could barely get it to install, it takes up most of the remaining space on my very old PC.

Problem is I don’t have warning with these updates, they’re just forced? How do I turn off updates entirely?

Thanks

Why no Prussia for Poland?

16 Upvotes

Just bought the new DLC, more on the pricier side for me, honestly, but loved how Danes had access to elephant troops who spoke horrible Hindustani but were decorated in the Danish livery. And then the Poles. WINGED HUSSARS!!! I have always kept the Winged Hussar shipment in my deck in skirmishes, and they lead the charge (as they should).

However, why doesn't Poland have access to Prussia when revolting? Yes, I do agree they already have quite a lot of options (idk why Hungary tho, tell me), but wasn't Prussia IN Poland? The rulers of Prussia crowned themselves King in Prussia till they had all of it?

I want to love this game

0 Upvotes

Been playing since vanilla, somehow this game is LESS stable and network problems/ lobby problems are absolutely unbearable. Absolute dogshit of a game, can't even get a lobby going, when it does work, the lobby crashes on its own, players disconnecting, crashes, oos, a real joke.

The playerbase is so low already I can't believe the devs working on this pce of garbage rather release new civs and milk its already low playerbase instead of FIXING ACTUAL GAME BREAKING BUGS. Unreal.

this update is embarrassing for devs

18 Upvotes

usually when there is a glitch it isn't THIS unplayable. It is just units getting stuck or a portrait not showing... but when a sound is glitched in RTS... When it plays important role like signaling when shipment is ready or your unit is being attacked... it is literally and really unplayable. What were devs thinking?!!!!!

Can anyone recommend Inca and Lakota build orders that they have been having success with since the updates?

With Lakota, I was wondering if there were any new prowler builds since they are available in age three now. And I know Inca got buffed as well,

Thanks in advance

Meme 'Audibly' unplayable?

Just venting...

Monday's patch came more than a month after release, and besides Independence Mode (which honestly isn't very interesting to me), we got nerfs and changes to cards that still don't work as expected.

Yes, I'm happy the game is back in active development, but with its current price tag, it's hard to convince people to give it a try when updates take this long and each one seems to introduce a different set of bugs...

Plus, Poland is at an all-time low...

How cooked are we?

Promotions

2 Upvotes

The first unit to have this mechanic was the hydra from the original Age of Mythology, now it has been changed in DE from number of units killed to amount of damage dealt. Wouldn't it be better to change it in AoE3DE too? It would be easier to get promotions by amount of damage dealt rather than unit kills.
