Game balance can be a delicate, subtle art, one that often takes
several tweaks and adjustments to get just right... our next patch is
just that.


Here are the balance changes that will be implemented in the next 2 – 3 weeks:


Peltast

• Decreased damage to 8 from 10
• Increased bonus damage vs. Ranged to +200% from +150%

Why the change? Large Peltast armies performed so
well in so many situations that this often discouraged the usage of
alternate units; their all-purpose strength allowed them to fill
unintended roles. We have reduced their all-purpose effectiveness while
keeping them roughly as strong as before in their intended role.


Mounted Archer

• Increased speed to 10 from 9

Why the change? To differentiate the Mounted Archer’s battlefield
role from the Asabara and the Cataphract (which both tend to be strong
head-to-head combat units), we’re strengthening the Mounted Archer’s
ability to rapidly raid and defend against raids.


Cataphract

• Increased bonus damage vs. Infantry to +150% from +100%

Why the change? Cataphracts are already a strong all-purpose unit in
terms of pop-efficiency, but they were not very efficient at fulfilling
their intended anti-infantry role.


Carptentom

• Increased damage to 28 from 16
• Decreased bonus damage vs. Ranged to +150% from +200%

Why the change? Carpentoms underperformed against most units,
including many units they were designed to counter. This change
increases their multi-purpose combat strength significantly.


Merchant Transport

• Decreased damage to 16 from 32

Why the change? Merchant Transports used to perform very well against
Triremes. They had strong base stats, both for cost and pop. They can
also dodge Trireme attacks, but Triremes cannot dodge Merchant Transport
arrows. Now, however, Triremes perform well against the weakened
Merchant Transport, despite their micro disadvantage.


Storehouse

• Decreased LOS to 26 from 30

Why the change? The LOS gained per cost on Storehouses was too high
relative to Watch Posts. However, Storehouse LOS remains high enough so
that villagers can easily see nearby resources.

That’s it for our Balance Update. We will be announcing the exact date for these changes just as soon as we are able.

Jipp hoffe nur das Sie jetzt erstmal für nen längeren Zeitraum Feintuning betreiben, und nicht das nächsten Monat schon wieder ne Ankündigung für die nächste neue Civ. kommt...

Was ich nach wie vor nicht verstehen will:

Warum keine Berater-Einheiten im PvP ? Finde dadurch würden sich die Civs. noch abwechslungsreicher Spielen, die Einheiten müssen doch zu Balancen sein...
Fand ich damals bei AoM schon toll, durch die Götterwahl die Unit-Kombos variieren zu können...

]Widerspricht sich aber. Du willst Berater, aber keine neue Civ?

Ich denke mal ne neue Pro Civ wird in den nächsten 2-3 Monaten kommen, möglicherweise sogar ne neue Free/Premium Civ darauf. Sollte aber okay vom Balancing sein, weil sich die Völker ja doch nicht allzu sehr unterscheiden (wie bei SC2 oder noch bei AoM) und das Balance Team ja aufgestockt wurde und sie die neuen Völker wohl schon einige Monate lang intern gespielt haben.

Berater/Festungseinheiten würd ich aber auch befürworten.

Die Berater sind ja schon im Spiel wenn auch nur fürs PvE.

Die Stats. der Einheiten für den Champ. Mode könnte man ja getrennt voneinander betrachten/anpassen dürfte mit Sicherheit einfach/schneller zu entwickeln/balancen sein wie ne komplett neue Civ.
