Ahh how these post's go on and on...im tired of hearing how "eggy" is always the Over-powered Civ...when that's not really the case at all...Eggy has had more Nerfs then any other civ, Patch1.02,1.03,1.06.and now 1.07..what more do you people Want?
Eggy has-Slowest gathering villagers
Eggy has free houses-But they build SLOW u can build 2 houses with any other civ in the time it takes eggy to build 1..besides..this is historically correct..Egypt never built with Wood they used "Sun Dried Clay" good job on ES part keeping up with history of the civilization.
Egypt Military=Weakest in the game..Egypt Rax units are weaker then the other civs counter parts to them, Ulfsark tougher then spearmen, Hoplite stronger then spearmen,Murmillo stronger then Spearmen, Peltast,Raiding Cav,And Turma all beat egypt's counter archer badly the slinger, Migdol units drain gold like a shop vac and aren't even cost effective nor pop effective..Any infantry in the game Including the Huskarl and it's crap hack armor can kill a Camel 1.vs.1..this Over-powered Egypt statement is a joke.
Egypt needs gold to even build=This is a BLESSING EARLY in the game..but in LATE game it's a CURSE..as gold becomes an issue in mythic since their is ALOT LESS goldmines on a map then their is forests on a map..so building with wood instead of gold is better the longer the game goes on..so this is not an advantage over other civs and is not a disadvantage either it's even.
Egypt militarily-will get "Run over" in mythic bye a superior army..Eggy is a heroic civ..in mythic no eggy real fares well...try Spearmen against Jarls and see how u do..Especially Odin Jarls...they will run right over your spearmen because they are superior..with Greek it's even worse..as their counter units are better then Eggies and their mainline units are the strongest in the game and will "run eggy over"
About Isis=Im tired of Hearing how Isis Eclipse+Ancestors combo is OP..ES allready nerfed the minions...Make heros for crying out loud..Heros kill the minions quite fast..If Isis didn't have Eclipse+Ancestors she would be "Unplayable" in this game due to a very "weak"military..do u know Isis only gets 2 military upgrades in the game? she gets Serpent spear and Either Thoths elephant tech or Osiris Camel tech that's it..Where as Ra gets every Rax upgrade except serpent spear, and Set gets ever Barracks unit upgrade...im sorry but Isis can be oever-powered with Superior Military in late game(not counting FT of course..better off to go Ft yourself if u think Isis is doing it)
Ra=Ha! i can't even belive i heard RA and Over-powered in the same sentence...Ra is the "weakest" of the eggy civs early in the game...Ra gets "No" Offensive GP like Ancestors,Bronze,Flaming weapons, or Walking woods..Did i meantion Ra lacks the Nepthys Preist upgrade..making it difficult for Ra to combat myth units...Ra is not even Over-powered don't even try to say Ra is..With-out an Offensive GP Ra can be very Vulnerable..And Eclipse doesn't count because it takes a "Considerable Investment" on your part to make 4 Petsuchos or 4 sphinx to make it an Offensive GP you gotta "pay" for it...where as Isis/Set get 13 free Myth units they don't pay for..would hardly call eclipse an Offensive GP.
Set=Now Set is "Under-powered" a Hero Bonus to animals woulda been enough..Nerfing the HP and attack was a touch much bye ES...
Now onto Atlanteans
Atlanteans i don't feel are OP..maybe Valor is..but thas about it..maybe slow Oranos Turmas a hair..but other then that Atlanteans are FINE leave them alone..they have the weakest buildings,no siege in heroic the destroyer is crap and cost 3 pop slots for 150 hp unit compare that to the Eggy siege tower that has 300 hp for 3 pop slots(and i don't wanna hear eggy siege rams are OP ES nerfed 50 HP off them for crying out loud) some Atlantean GP stink compared to Flaming Weapons,Bronze,Ancestors so i really think Atlanteans are fine considering their civlian units pop slot requirments, no real siege till mythic to speak of, weak buildings, Villagers are so "slow" and VERY Vulnerable i just don't see the OP of the civ..
Norse-Norse is fine..only thing Norse need is a cut back on Raiding Cav Train time..but in return take the 5% hack armor away..since they allready beat hips, and Camels pop effectivly..15% hack armor in return for a decreased build time...other then that norse are fine and have "too much" of an advantage if you ask me..they can build with infantry for crying out loud..their econ doesn't take a hit to build something, other civs lose precious ville gathering time just to build a house, norse can secure ground faster then any other civ and take map control, Norse have fastest Gathing villes in the game(well 2nd behind a Atlantean ville but their villes are actually 3) so im tired of hearing Norse whin..Decrease RC train time and Norse will be fine.
Ya know alot of people use the "Over-Powered" argument because they lost...ever thought just maybe..the other player is"Better" then you...tough to admit that huh?..might hurt your "ego's" seems like Ego's always get in the way of people making sound decisions but lets get to the REAL reason behind this argument.
The Real reason is because it's all about 2 things.
Ego
and
Tournament Money
That's what it's all about, you people just can't have fun with a game can you? all this Tournament Money, i gotta be the best, accusing people of Cheating, Using an so called "over-powered" civ...it's all about the 2 things i listed above...just like these so called"Experts" making website saying "Oh pay me and i'll teach u how to play the game i will make you a REAL good player" what a joke ya know..im not gonna say any names..but these people "Know" who they are..and it's really sad..these people are just gonna suck u in..and take all your money and your really dumb enough..to pay them for NOTHING mind you NOTHING
Wanna know how to get better? PLAY GAMES
Even if you win or lose-Watch your OWN recordings..see where u had idle villes..see where u coulda managed your econ better..see u had too many wood chopers..don't make that mistake next time..you would be suprised at watching your own games what u can see you did wrong to improve on.
That' my freinds is how you get "better" not some Pay site from some so called AOM expert says he will trach you if you pay him...Who cares if they have a 2k rating..Ratings don't matter..again that falls into the "Ego" category i mentioned up above..no game is perfect..that's what makesd the game"fun" perfection is boring..this game being"not" perfect is what makes each civ"unique"
see these so called"expert training sites" are like Miss Cleo..a bunch of bull..i myself would rather get better on my own..that way i feel "I" accomplished something on my own...be suprised how good u feel when you do something"yourself" how else are u supposed to learn then just do it..a Mechanic can show you how to replace a transmission 1,000 times..but u still don't know how to do it..until u do it yourself..thas the point im trying to make..don't be fooled bye these people that want u to "pay" them to teach you..your "wasting" your money.
it's all about Ego's,Ratings,and Tournament Money...thas where all these "nerfing" Thread originate from...what is a rating?..it's a number...nothing more..it should not decide who is your freind..it does not matter in "real" life..if it does..then you have no life obviously..so your pent up on your PC...if someone won't be your freind because of rating..then that person never was your freind to begin with
what im saying is have FUN playing the game...does it really matter that much if you lose?..ever think just maybe he is better then you? i have no problem when i lose..i congratulate my opponent..i make no excuses..i always talk to them after the game win or lose..cuz i had FUN playing the game..and that my freinds is what counts...and if all you want to do is bad mouth a game ES has made cuz u say it's"not Balanced" then that's just foolish..play the game..have fun and let ES decide what is wrong with the game..Matty Plays all the time..im sure he gives ES his take and views..your voice is "heard" so quit all these whining post and just have fun playing the game for once..you might be suprised at the results.
