That is the damn reason for this forum...It is not for you to whine about how you lost because the enemy used a strategy and because of this the strategy is overpowered! Its not. God save the man who first taught these newbs the word overpowered, now theres threads every god damn day about things that are nowhere near overpowered..
Heres a list of threads in just the past -FOUR- days of things that people were complaining were overpowered

cavalry are overpowered and should come in heroic age
Wow someones living in the era of AoK...ES wanted AoM to be a faster paced game ffs....why dont you understand and cherish that we will never have to play 5 hr games again?! It just style of play...also cavalry are not overpowered, even greeks now can use hoplites to counter them

zeus (hoplites)
People are starting to complain about zeus being the most powerful or zeus being overpowered...I dont play him much but he's just a different god...people dont understand you use different strategies against different gods..zeus is easily beatable
Quote:
huskarls
Oh yes they definately need to be nerfed...way overpowered...15% hack armor jesus...they cost a ****load of wood and only come from hillforts....people are complaining because their unupgraded hippokons lose to them...if huskarls are nerfed there really isnt any point for norse to go to heroic...except seige and tcs...that can be put off for a while..

set (post 1.06)
Somebody was complaining about set being overpowered still i believe....this is just wrong set is balanced now...ES has balanced them!

centaur's overpowered
Centaurs, once again, this is ridiculous...its sad that people do this
- Lose game due to certain strat
- Come to message board and make thread
- List out the unit's advantages and call it overpowered
- Come to message board and make thread
EG: hypsapists counter my infantry, they're overpowered
EG: huskarls counter archers, theyre overpowered
EG: Centaurs have a special shot bonus that can kill villagers, they're overpowered!

greek imbalance against norse
of course, greeks cant beat norse...neither can eggy...and when a norse plays another norse the game will go OOS
No dammit people like to play the norse because you can play and the game will be decided in 20 minutes max....greeks you need to get to heroic and it can sometimes take 30-40 minutes! God dammit RC spam isnt an option against greek anymore, because they have cheaper, strong as hell hoplites...Compare hoplites dying to TA's with ulfsarks dying to tox's
Hoplites 100+ HP 34 hack armor (TA's do hack)
Ulfsarks 80 HP 5 peirce armor (Tox's do peirce)
Even with the bonus damage, TA's counter hoplites worse because of armor...and toxotes are a better general unit!norse are easy as **** to beat with greek...whenever I play greek it's eggy i fear...oh wait that must mean they're overpowered

jarls (post 1.06)
God, im not even gonna comment here...yes nerf jarls for the third time in a row, and nerf huskarls too, and nerf RC too, and make it so infantry for the norse cant build...and neither can villagers...lets see how those norse do now when they have to withstand a rush with 1 ox, 1 ulf, and 12 villagers!

frost's overpowered
Well this wont be a problem in the next patch because norse wont have a point to go to heroic after huskarls are nerfed and jarls are nerfed again...
But come on...so many GP's counter this one..
Ceasefire
Ancestors
Walking woods, to an extent
Curse, to an extent
Bronze is bugged with frost, so it works out even better
Flaming weapons...well it doesnt but logically it should..they can melt their way out of the ice
I could go on and on...
But my point is this...people come here to whine and complain...I mean its fine if you sound educated and stuff, but the latest threads have been getting ridiculous...people who know nothing about the game thinking everything is overpowered
This board should be filled with war stories and new players learning things from more experienced players...not all the crap we have now
So, I propose we have a whiners forum...and there are no mod's for it...and they can all do their thing over there and have fun with it...
You may think im joking but im really serious...I realize that this is never gonna happen but... isis hear my plea
Also, I didnt mean to flame anyone. And Im not saying im the most educated person about the game, but at least i know the basic facts
example of what is annoying: "hoplites are overpowered! You cant counter them until you get peltasts at the mythic age if your eggyptian boo freakin hoo hoo"
And I just wrote this because NIB was gonna anyways in a few days
Baah, this isnt spam, but its probably gonna get closed anyways :/ I sounded a little too mean in this post :/ Oh well sorry
