Really? It’s now 20 gold more to buy 100 food, so if you just buy like 300 food to go up to Castle Age faster it’s 60ish gold more. If you’re playing xbow you save almost half of that on the cheaper upgrade again. So I don’t know but I doubt that this has such a huge impact on most games. Sure, those all in strats, where you just buy food for gold, will most likely not be effective anymore, but that’s a good thing I would say., II - Discussion SMUM15236 October 15, 2024, 5:17am 1 Age of Empires / World's Edge Studio – 14 Oct 24, Age of Empires II: DE II - Report a Bug As with any game, there are bound to be errors or issues which cause unanticipated or unexpected results while you’re playing.
