bring back resource tributes !!

[eeralf_]

pls P51, its too easy for give tribute , remember AoE, u need a trade market, it ee, aoc u dont need anay u can tribute like hell at start, so some rush are posible, grrrrrr, its not good team play, ok maybe othther spend all stones, but grrrr, its random and not ok for a equal strategy game

mabe iam wrong, , ok i see it so, tribute for noobs, u must self colected it

Edit: more team play is when wonder for all , like isha thor, Temple , hahaha, only colo or/and librabry count, , hmm, its more fun (my thinking)

[P-51]

Its not random. Its strategic specialization. Tributes are a big part of being a coherent team.

[eeralf_]

anyway P51, maybe u are right, but i think its not a good part, some peeps works hard on get res , some get it by trubute, hmm

Proost!! man, hope i see you more in lobby next (maybe u havnt time, ok .;()

I can live with the no tribs, dm either way both have there ups and downs, but imo more pop would b quite nice, theres just not enuf pop in a 3v3/4v4 mid to have a real good game, and if the host is agianst it he has the option of keeping it original, anyway just a suggestion

1200 is perfect. Anything else is just stupid. 4000 Pop makes Knights useless. They tend to "allow" expert players to just boom instead of helping their teammate (worse games).

[Captain Nemo]

imo having the choice to use a higher pop would be nice, but I think u can't add this on the 2.0 version of EE. Im not saying I want 4000 in my games but those who do want that can do it if they want. 1200 will still be an option. Just keep in mind theres a reason we all use 1200 and not 1000. It's because we always wanted the highest pop available when we started to play this game. Now that we've learned how to deal with this pop, a 4000 pop changes the way we play the game and the conservative lobby player doesn't want this. That is all fine play with the pop you want, but there may be alot of new players out there who like it. It is infact something GR players mention when trying to say the downsides of the lobby.

I've always wanted more pop for a 4v4 mod dm for example. Then we could actualy play it on large map, cause thats the main reason for going with the medium in 4v4... 1200 cannot properly fill a large map if a teammate or 2 dies. I enjoy 2000 pop cap

As for tributes. Im still on the side of getting tributes back and just banning those who cheat. It hasn't been much of a problem for me for a long time now (not because of the patch but because so few cheat in my games...), but I will of course accept the decision of the majority and at the moment it seems like most are happy with the current patch so...

My point is, if you let one or two on your team die you should loose. Or "letting" your team die while booming yourself should not be an option. This isn't an option on 4v4 1200 population.

As for giving more options overall, is very good IMO, but for expert games, 1200 is all that's needed.

[Captain Nemo]

oh ye I see I made a stupid point. I ment if one or maybe 2 on each team die. It happens alot in mod... Well Im no supporter of large map in anything anyway

Still. 2000 for 4v4 would be ideal imo

[P-51]

Having a 4000 max pop cap wouldn't be a problem. If you don't want to go past 1200 then just choose that option. The game doesn't force you to play with max pop cap.

I was answering to:

4000 or as much pop as possible without lag would be a good idea. The more options the better, but "cant have good games on 1200" is just bullshit IMO.

[P-51]

Oh ok. That makes oodles of sense then.

[herik]

4000 or as much pop as possible without lag would be a good idea. The more options the better, but "cant have good games on 1200" is just bullshit IMO.

2k would even b enough and ye ure right, its ok on a 4v4 med map, but on a 4v4 large map (aoc games), it would make sence for more pop, this game is all about army, eco etc, imo it should atleast b an option, and kaz aoc is all about boom -_-, imo bring back eec mid, but until then it needs a bigger pop cap.

[eeralf_]

are u all insects grazy?, my pc cant handle 1200 and u want 4000?, lol,

i want 900

grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Prooooooost!!!!!!!!!!!

dont touch units, or strong of units or any such things, its a fine balanced, but i hate knights so swords a little stronger ., joke

[turd_furgison]

i always dug being able to tribute. it did enhance the game play by making it more strategic, thinking in terms of the opposing team as a cohesive unit wrather than four guys all mixed up. that was an integral part of the strategy in the mediteranian setting online. if you were wing <i.e. no buffer zone between you and the enemy> your were protecting your pocket <i.e. the guy with the buffer zone from the enemy>. your pocket would "boom" as its called, going largely for economy to advance through the epochs. in turn for protecting him and allowing him to advance, you would recieve tributes to help catch up and get back in the game technologicaly.

Exactly, I really miss games like this. Nobody plays this way anymore.
