Use this thread to make suggestions, not complaints. Recently, IMO, threads out there aren't giving the right information to the developers...
Anyways, here they go-
- Houses are too expensive. IMO, should be 50 wood, 150 wood houses make the game too slow.
- Options should be revamped. Some options in the menu are too weird to understand. For example, the option for turning on the population counter says something like 'Turn on civilian count to recources gathered' (can't remember)- that's very, I think in general the population count should be on by default, so we wouldn't run into this issue. Also, I noticed many graphics options can only go up to 'Normal' (using a Geforce 6800GT here), I'm wondering- will the full game have 'high' options for these? - Recources are gathered too, too slow. It get's kind of boring, espiacally since units are so expensive! IMO, you should increase gathering rate- big time, like by 50%. - Allow us to change game speed while in-game. I chose 'fast' game speed once and damn, it was too fast for me- ruined the game. Unfortunately, I couldn't just change it back to normal and continue playing- I had to quit and start a new game. - Edges for the map. Strange, when I reached the 'edge' (actually it's a circle, but like the end of the circle) it was just black, with weird edges, I was hoping for something as cool as AoM's, like a map or you know how fantastic AoM's map edges were (like this earth suspended in the air... Please include something like this in AoE3. - Like I said before, easier interface, espiacally in options. For example, I turned on camera rotation, and to be honest... I really don't know how to do it. Mouse scroll isn't rotating the map, neither is holding control, or the + and - buttons..what is it? It's difficult to tell. Should be the scroll button by default, by the way. - Some Home City cards can only be used once. The sucky thing is, they're the funnest ones to use. IMO, they should recharge slowly, that would really make the Home City a much more rewarding experience. - Cheaper units, buildings, ships, etc..- we want big battles, so make it cheaper, and let us gather faster, too. IMO even AoM was too slow, unless you go for deathmatch. - Keep the explorer, treasure, etc..- the way it is. I love it. - Oh, and more artistic variation, please (unit wise). That's about it!
