Empires Update Patch Notes (Discussion Thread)

I agree actually

even more to consider is it’s solid, so like even if you somehow manage to dodge the infinite spikes flying out of nowhere you have to deal with pelion rift-sized walls being erected out of stakes

Spoilers

Just realized the implications to this :sob:

Probably cause wood is used as the most basic tool material in a ton of games (and somewhat irl too), take Minecraft and even AO for example: wood tools are the first tools you make in MC and what do most people do when they mine 3 pieces of cobble? Get rid of it. And in AO wooden weapons are some of the starter weapons but are also basically useless once you get anything marginally better.

There’s also the fact that wood as a magic/power isn’t really represented in lots of media unlike a lot of other “natural” elemental curses like fire, ice, tide, earth, metal, etc. And it doesn’t have the more mystical qualities that more exotic elemental curses like death, wave, slash, darkness, lunar, aether, etc. all have.

Also if I’m being completely honest getting impaled by a bunch of sharp spikes isn’t that notable for curses considering ANY other curse of a solid magic can do the same. Glass fragments, metal razors, sharp rocks, jagged crystals, frostmetal blades, ice spikes, and I can’t remember any more solid magics off the top of my head. Don’t get me wrong, that doesn’t make the wood curse less formidable since it’s still a curse - but again, not super remarkable compared to other curses.

I’m about to neg this contest so hard

what if we don’t have artist role or twitter account

Do you have connections in high places?

no
Other than that time I pinged mimhere about a bug that was already known about

You could ask someone with the Artist role to post it on your behalf with your username being in the title, description, link to your forum account/topic of the art, etc.

Same thing can be done by someone for the twitter side of things. (Though the option to make a twitter account, follow the submission process, and virtually never use it again works too.)

empires update release date around that time?

generally theyre on fridays and i doubt its releasing this coming friday so my guess is the 27th
12 days until the update lets go baby!!!

They both sound pretty cool. Has Vetex confirmed if we’re getting the 80 strength rare technique this update? If not, I hope he fits it into the auction patch. He said he wants this update to leave the game in a good state until full release, and it’d be weird to go 6 months with an uneven number of spells and techniques.
