Nice games! I missed the second one and most of the third but I do love it when feudal aggression kills the blind FC strategies. The increased cost of the xbow upgrade and nerf to walls are really great and return AoC to how it should be played, in my opinion. I hope there is a day in the future where some form of this balance patch becomes the norm for AoC.
You can always host ur own games using carlos patch and see whats what, i don't understand why this crazy idea of forcing players to use determinated patchs, there is a big missunderstanding of USer patch and FE, balance patchs, chivalry or whatever fan mod is, the reason is simply user patch is not invasive, there is a big obssesion to change the gameplay of this old game, get it over players love this game the way it is, if you try to force players to use this, you will see the rejection of the majority and also it implies an attack to the freedom of everyone who wants to play their loved game, im very concerned into this matter because voobly in the past has taken bad decisions based of some groups of folks who think they rule the aoc and they are the entire community voice.
Not trying to force anyone to do anything, buddy. I simply hope that more players recognize the positive changes of this patch and voluntarily choose to play on it.The only big misunderstanding is yours in interpreting my post!
