Default + Age of Heroes Era

Post by alexanderthegre »

This is the feedback thread for the default + age of heroes era, a 1.9/1.10 era. This era combines the default and age of heroes eras into one big era, so you could play, for instance, default northerners vs. AoH drakes. Any feedback is appreciated.

You do realise that AoH factions have lev3 leaders, making them obviously OP compared to Default factions?
Besides, there is no advantage from playing Default, at all. All you have is weaker leader and less recruiting options.
Only idea behind this might be to nerf stronger players when playing against less experienced ones, but lot of people use Random when choosing factions.
On smaller note - It would be nice if AoH and Default factions were described differently, as in "Drakes - Def" and "Drakes - AoH".

I haven't looked at how it is made, but I guess it could be an interesting option for playing vs the AI (you being default, AIs being AoH). Or against beginners. Although it would be kinda misleading: unless the AoH guy had a very big gold advantage, you are usually (except maybe key units like leaders) better off recruiting Lv1s in AoH anyway.

So, my point being, if it is not done that way already, there should be two random options for faction picking: one for default and one for AoH.
