I was really hoping for a "Guard" stance for troops. Where you set a group of soldiers to stand guard over more vulnerable units (seige). That way they don't go rushing off to attack a Ferocious Farm or Lethal Lumber Camp and leave your bombards and tres buckets vulnerable to attack.

@Aussie_Drongo stone wall bastion is the “corner” piece. If you destroy that part, the hole isn’t big enough for big units like rams to get through. So I’m guessing the two segments next to the corner will be destroyed now

[emil]

fun fact: The Yumi Ashigaru +5 health buff in feudal means Gilded horsemen will no longer kill them in 2 hits, they will now need 3 hits in feudal. (still 2 hits in castle and 3 hits in imp)

Definitely feels like a Red Bull balance patch in preparation for a bigger patch afterword. Breathe everyone.

[aaronpower]

Japanese shinobis need a buff land mark needs to passively spawn a shinobi every two minutes like the desert raider wing spawn time allowing the shinobi to actually be used in late game

[multimate]

this feels like a "small" patch before the red bull qualifiers cause they don´t want to change the metagame too much for the biggest tournament of the year, they even announced a new patch after wollolo qualifiers

I hope that lack of changes are caused by them working on new expansion with civs

[benaldewein]

I actually not that disappointed with the patch, some critical issues are getting worked on, the attack move thing is huge if u try to get new players in. Understand your bad feelings on the caster mode of course, but i wana say that they focused on that aspect pretty heavy in the last survey, maybe if enought people voted it up there it'll be in the next one. Would like to have the stone tower properly integraded i guess, since it hasn't really been worked on since ages

[fawkesthehawk]

My favorite thing about aussie drongo is how his life comes into view this time it was nuggies!

[moonboyk]

IN WHAT WORLD OOTD GETS COMPLETELY IGNORED

[TinPoTse]

guess the stone wall bastion means the turning pile of the stone wall. now some time when it been destroy, nearby segments dont goes down, that makes stupid siege will stuck outside.

[chrisr]

Hell yeah i want units to come out attack moving! Or you should be able to change the rally point to either be move or attack to location

[StartCodonUST]

Rus is the ultimate survivor of balance patches, but at least English gets a nerf.

[bigman]

As a rus main, lack of kremlin nerf is kool

[InfuriationGaming]

They need to fix the console free for all because we don't get access to king abilities, we're at a disadvantage always.

[YepsRS]

Giving you a "hell yeah" for auto attack move from military buildings haha

[stes]

To be fair, I agree they ahould remove console in one block.

[olegdragora]

There is zero evidence 3DBee was abusing the walls mechanic.
What he is claiming is that he legitimately tried to wall the location off and the game didn't allow it, which gave him the information.
Even Beasty has been seen receiving the very same information the very same way, like most of the players trying to wall a contested area off at a certain point.
Please don't throw accusations without proofs.

[michal]

About the balance, imo we shouldn't have a situation where one landmark is an obvious choice in 99% of situations. I think that landmarks should be strongly connected with the strategy.
Meinwerk vs Aachan is a good example to me for the HRE and we have some another pick.
