Thread: [2v2] Black Forest6 Oct 2022, 07:45 AM Another update just published. Kind of amazing looking back at those screenshots I posted and how far the map has come since then. Finally got some great feedback from friends and I implemented a lot of changes. The map should flow much better and be more balanced than previous iterations. Visibility is also significantly improved. If you're reading this and planning to run a 2v2 tournament let me know! The goal here for me was to both become more familiar with the WB and create a competitive & balanced map. In: Map Sharing
Thread: COH3 Worldbuilder and modding preview 1 Oct 2022, 05:42 AM I'm excited to see what we've got! The AoE4 editor gives you a lot of options and tools but has a learning curve and isn't very intuitive, even to myself who thought it wouldn't be too difficult. Hopefully coh3's WB is going to be easy to use! In: COH3 Central
Thread: Exciting 2v2!23 Sep 2022, 06:44 AM Just played this game and it reminded me why I love coh so much. My partner and I beat these same guys immediately before on Moscow Outskirts so we thought this would be a cake walk too but the narrowness of Road to Kharkov made their strategy a lot more viable. There are some great plays and great dives throughout! In: Replays

Thread: [mini rant] 'Tactical pause' marketing2 Sep 2022, 03:52 AM Jump back to quoted post1 Sep 2022, 22:40 PMDonnieChan wasnt there a tablet version of coh for which this would be good as well? Yee some company that isn't Relic made a CoH port to iPad. I think it's only the base game, not even the Opposing Fronts factions. In: COH3 Central
Thread: [mini rant] 'Tactical pause' marketing31 Aug 2022, 18:47 PM Jump back to quoted post31 Aug 2022, 17:02 PMDonnieChan they should market more with zooming in, tilting camera and doing "snapshots" with the tactical pause Would be cool to let players know that they can disable UI for a few seconds to take a cool screenshot! Tactical Pause and the marketing behind it is a great strategy to onboard new players. There's a GeneralsGentlemen video from a couple years ago talking about RTS games and the statistic that always stuck with me was that, on average, 80% of RTS players only touch single player. The more Relic can do to get those players in and increase sales makes the game look good from the SEGA POV. And the new Italy campaign will increase replay-ability of the singleplayer so we're going to have high player numbers which is a great thing. For lots of us hardcore multiplayer fans like me tactical pause doesn't matter too much. But for my 60 year old dad he'll love it. In: COH3 Central

Thread: coh3 still a arrange team fk the solo ladder players game?26 Aug 2022, 05:47 AM Jump back to quoted post24 Aug 2022, 23:33 PMReverb Looks like the majority of games you play are arranged teams..... Well, sure, but that's a poor way of dismissing my point. I enjoy the social aspect of playing with a team and a few bad instances of awful teammates made me play 1v1 if I want to be alone or with my pals on Discord at The Angry Bears. In: COH3 Central
Thread: coh3 still a arrange team fk the solo ladder players game?24 Aug 2022, 20:10 PM Jump back to quoted post22 Aug 2022, 16:36 PMReverb Most RT vs AT wind up in the match being done and dusted within 5-20 minutes and are not enjoyable to anyone, except those worms that like playing unfair seal clubbing BS. So add that to 5 minute queue time and you have far, far more time wasted waiting for a 'good match' than if you would just split the player pool into a RT and AT sections, give people that play randoms the choice to opt in to matching against arranged teams if they want. The problem with splitting matchmaking pools is the wait time. It's already long enough, especially off peak hours, and splitting the playerbase up would lead to longer wait times and more imbalanced games for everyone. I think a primary issue are an arranged teams first ten games. Especially in 4s, the first 3-5 games are almost always easy stomps. But after that fifth game and especially after a team has a visible rank the games tend to be much tougher as the system has more data to go by. I think a better system would be to reduce the number of qualifying games to get you a rank or having the system pull from or pull a higher weight from other modes to improve match quality In: COH3 Central
