Haha they fixed a bug that I reported in the forum where Villagers were able to attack a flying Roc with their knives

I knew choosing Sekhmet non stop since 2002 would be a success, they called me crazy!

[wintermute]

Big props to the team for actually shifting balance with relatively minor changes, without full-blown redesigns of things.

[mrniceguy]

Was just about to read the notes, but I think I'll just watch this instead!

1/3 reduction in repair speed for buildings seems steep.
The buffs to chariot archers and the citadel make that tree cutting campaign mission significantly easier lol.

[webbowser]

I was kinda hoping that Slingers would get some base stat buffs in exchange for the significant electrum nerfs. That +10% damage isn't gonna be felt all that much when Slingers only do 3 damage per shot. Ah well, Egypt is certainly eating this patch.

Thanks man, great video and so much more fun to watch instead of reading through it myself trying to figure out what the consequences are 😅. Much appreciated! Hoping for you to show us some nice Eggy strats maybe?

It’s a good day to be a Set main! So excited!!!

[antonioiborra]

great analysis of the patch. The best as always!! The boitTV patch video was pretty good as well

[AMDGBananaBen]

Man, those Ra Buffs are pretty nuts!

I was definitely not expecting them to adjust slingers for a while, let alone getting a huge upgrade to Citadel =D

[joelim]

Always enjoy listening to your analysis! I'm hopeful about the Chariot Archer and Cheiroballista buffs. Cheiroballista I think suffers a little bit in Retold where there's a 'spread out' formation.

[vladimirlizard]

Congratulations on your real revenge! This is what I understand as strength and power! We were all waiting for this, just like you! Now we are waiting for victory in the tournament! The champion is back))

[melancholy]

Why do they nerf Hades every fucking patch

[banana_hammock]

super helpful vid! Thanks for being so thorough

[rtyuijhgfdfghj]

I think with new balistics game will feel like aoe 2 a bit. Love it, if that's right. Always thought it is a cool skill-dependent feature.

[DuBLD]

Trend of Hades nerf every single patch continues...

[JohnMayer]

Thanks for your analysis! It's great that Citadel Center finally got buffed, but perhaps they should also make it harder to destroy without siege weapons or siege units. It's a Citadel after all, not a regular TC, and since it's never used twice in one game, it should be a more formidable structure.

[rmachuca]

Not sure how much it was used in comp but another nerf to Oranos that probably was abusing market strats with it:

> Caravans can no longer be garrisoned in Sky Passages and Underworld Passages.

[rwagingsloth]

ive been hoping for Ras rain to be changed but i definitely did not guess correctly. i was expecting the rains 200% bonus to be nerfed when it stopped working on enemies and/or allies. it can almost be viewed as a 100% buff to the caster in the late game when both players have farms since opponents wont get the 100% bonus anymore

[nicholaslvov]

As a Norse main I approve this changes. Many imbalanced things had to go, I’m just sorry I did not use Thor’s ability to rush with siege throwing axes in age 2 while the fun lasted
