I'm really surprised by how much fun it is, it's just a technical preview but definitely feels more like "let's see who's strat/macro is better" (upgrade paths help adapting it during the game) rather than "I'm gonna steal your boar at min 1, kill the farm you haven't built yet with the scout so you loose the wood, and make a quickwall with a house in your face so your 15 knights and 10 pikemen instantly become useless".Īside from what the other response said, there's a big focus on making different civilizations more unique than in AoE2. Siege is OP now, specially powder, and new mechanics like you can have archers on the top of the walls or upgrading forts/castles with a bombard cannon/scorpions individually. The only real walls now are the wood and stone ones, buildings can't be used to block a path.
#AGE OF EMPIRES IV REDDIT UPGRADE#
Civs are distinguished by unique upgrade paths (you don't just go to the next age but choose instead a building that brings you X benefits to upgrade to next age when building is complete) but still have unique units and mechanics. The hard micro is gone (i.e constantly dodging arrows or quickwalling), feels more relaxed in that sense even if you can still hit and run and do some micro. /r/GamePhysics - Clips of game physics shining and glitchingĭesign based on /r/FlatBlue created by /u/creesch./r/gaming4gamers - middle ground between purely-for-fun and more serious subreddits./r/GamingLeaksAndRumours - Leaks and Rumors.Posting unmarked spoilers will result in removal and warning, and posting spoilers with malicious intent will result in a ban.
