      Good one. But is it really less surprising than the possibility gaining a 200 population from that same one villager? If you somehow explain that problem, you can simply say the villager hid behind and later in the just built town centre or castle he just built and got replaced by a double. Then he went on to become the special unit of his nation.

Monk starts to hand-wavingly convince _exclusively one_ of the dudes while they have at him. Dude suddenly falls to his knees praying for forgiveness from the monk while his brother's like "dude, wtf? Help me with this douche will you?" Monk's eyes narrow to two slits while he commands his new minion to brutally murder his brother. The guy, without hesitation, bashes his brother's skull in. Anyone else think that mechanic sounds suspiciously like the work of George Lucas?

Thir stat would have to be nerfed alot if they would have been moubnted. More expensive then a knight but somewhat stronger

      I think that a good way to redress this issue is a small maintenance cost for units - for example, a villager might consume 1 unit of food every 10 seconds or so. This would prompt players to focus more on economic growth and sustainability than waging war (just make some tweaks to diplomacy to make treaties for trade and commerce and you can convert this war game to a socio-economic simulation).

  • @seargantmagor
    @seargantmagor 5 років тому +11

    The AOE logic about building/repairing buildings does actually make sense. I work in construction and this is legit, i'll explain.
    Lets make this simple and use drywall. Constructing one piece of drywall takes maybe 10 minutes at most. Yet if a person knocks a hole in the drywall, you need to cut a matching piece, make sure it fits snug, do the same steps as just adding a new piece but with much more precision. It does take less resources, but more time consuming.
    As far as wooden construction, lets say you have a beam that is rotten. A builder needs to brace up the roof, cut the rotten piece, cut a matching piece, all of this is without a pre-made plan. most of the time when I build new buildings, I can zone out half of the shift, similar to riding a bike. But repairing requires a new behavior, planning, and precision.
    I can imagine that AOE played this part also for balance issues, but the logic actually is legit - it takes longer to repair than to build from scratch. It sounds weird, but anybody that does construction would agree.
    Edit: Obviously it also depends on the type of repair, but generally speaking

    The repair vs. built time part, it is logical and true. I work in construction and when repairing, you need to remove the damaged parts and then replace them with new ones. Meanwhile when you are building, you just install them without having to remove anything. It does take longer, and material cost remains the same, meaning that in the game it should still have a relatively higher cost to repair buildings, and it should take longer. And realistically people are faced with such decisions in every day modern life, should I fix my broken car or is it cheaper to buy a new one?

      You need space in your base, if you are limited by space, you need to repair building. That's why you need to repair, even if it takes longer time. In reality, if you want to replace building on same spot, you need to destroy building, in past time, it was much more problem then now (with explosives). So it's logical, they used repair even when it took longer time.

    Actualy 19 makes a lot of sense. Even in real life , reparing a buidling can be more painfull then building a new one. Thats why there is that expression " You might as well raze it and build a new one". When ur buidling something from scratch , you can place what you want , where you want whithout any limatations or concerns , also , you have a working order , for example you wont build the floor before you build the roof.
    When you are repairing something , you have to check for any structural damage , any risks before you place anything , sometimes you have to phsicaly remove things to repair something , and then put those things in again. You are also working on limited space which slows you down, and you do not have a working other. For example if you have to repair the roof of a house , there is a big chance you will have to work on the walls even though they are not damaged.
