I think the only balance issues are with the start of the game first few levels but even then you have to lay out your strat based on who your facing. Every class can become op if you let them get ahead of you in gold and xp.

I mean it setups 2 humans on one side and 1 human on the other in the multiplayer game. NPC demi gods are not an adequate substitute for human players in multiplayer unless the human player is completely new.
NPC Demi's just feed them kills . I mean why in the world would the pantheon setup games like this? .... Oh btw it seem pantheon reset or something because it let me pick the dark side. The thing is I still had rook selected so I am playing darkside as rook ;)
I dont think the game needs saving. They need to clean up the multiplayer and put in some bug fixes for movement stalling and things like that and its good. Then they need to add clans etc.
Thanks for keeping us informed.I hope this works out.
Change your servers setting?
attack move doesn't work like you would expect though, as soon as you start attacking units you stop moving once they are dead and it doesn't keep going =/
I agree 30 may be too high but thats up to them.
To limiter user hammering. It will have no effect on users either since it takes longer than that to get into a game usually.
The constant auto refresh is freezing my game its pretty annoying.
I would be happy if they could just make it so that it doesn't take so long to get a multiplayer game going.
I hope they change this.
Your only angry because you cannot play, not because the game is bad. I do agree that having the servers down for as long as people are reporting they have been down is annoying though.
[quote who="scyldSCHEFING" reply="17" id="2150071"]Thanks for that status update. However... In Epoch 1, custom games won’t count anymore as there’s too many ways to game it. NO, NO, NO! DO YOU NOT SEE HOW THIS WILL COMPLETELY SCREW OVER THE GAME IF THE ONLY WAY TO PLAY THE METAGAME IS TO GET THROWN IN WITH A BUNCH OF RANDOM PEOPLE SO THAT ONE CANNOT PLAY WITH ONE'S FRIENDS? THIS IS NOT THE SOLUTION![/quote] <h3 id="ctl00_ContentPlaceHo
great post
only drm that is effective requires server authentication, even then if the game doesn't have to be played online it will be work around. Ultimatly the game and its online content have to be compelling enough to get players to buy it.
the multiplayer works better now but its still pretty sub par vs other titles when it comes to creating games and getting connected.
No games in custom and cannot create because of nat facilitator =/
its working again
yeah they must have taken the server down
If the pirates clients are hardwired to constantly hit the server on port 443 and others I dont see anyother solution. Waiting them out seems kind of unreasonable. Internet multiplayer is currently not showing anything in custom and just freezing.
Internet Multiplayer is impossible now, its time to start changing ip's and ports for the legit users so we stop sharing with them.
chaos40, beat me to it.
Life is just not fair when it comes to impression, the first is often the last impression. Lucky for Stardock if they get their multiplayer working properly and scaled correctly perhaps they can convince them to do a re-scoring.
Multiplayer was the selling point for me and its the most unstable part of the game. Talk about dropping the ball.
