OK, maybe not to yourselves, but you owe it to Sandyman and Deathshrimp, they put a lot of work in on it. And if you haven’t played with upgraded Japanese trebs, you owe it to yourself to try. Saracens, with their overall camel bonus, the efficient market, and the Mameluke absolutely rock. Turks have so many options in castle age, and so much early and late imperial power, that they’re a very versatile and powerful civ. I am STUNNED that Turks, Japanase and Saracen are at the bottom of the list. Recently fitted with the new title of AI Designer, Mike “Captain” Kidd also added his thoughts on the data: One amazing thing was that the MOST POPULAR Real World map was Texas!? Go figure. Next is Yucatan at 8%, followed by Highland and Ghostlake both at 4%. In TC, Arabia is now 36%, but Black Forest is only 18%. Then we get Highland 8%, Continental 5%, Gold Rush 4% and everything else 3 or fewer. Maps: in Old AoK, Black Forest was 36% of all games. Personally, I was surprised that the huns seem to be the most popular new civ. Some civs are still more popular than others (duh). In TC, the civ choosing is far more balanced. The Conquerors: Huns 11, Mayans 9, Koreans 8, Britons 8, Spanish 7, Chinese 7, Celts 6, Franks 6, Vikings 6, Teutons 5, Aztecs 5, Goths 4, Mongols 4, Byzantines 3, Persians 3, Saracens 2, Japanese 2, Turks 2 Note: if civs were random, the results would be 6 each. Old AoK: Franks 19, Britons 17, Chinese 13, Persians 9, Teutons 8, Byzantine 8, Vikings 7, Celts 5, Turks 4, Saracens 3, Japanese 3, Mongols 2, Goths 2 Note: if civs were completely random, the results would be 8 each. Sadly, both 1-on-1 and large team games are lumped together into the same group, which probably skews some results.Įach civ is followed by the percent of times it appeared as a player’s choice. I think it’s only random maps with completely normal settings (i.e., no DM or Castle-Age-starts, that sort of thing) that’s covered. The following information came from the Zone. AOK designer Sandy Petersen has posted some interesting figures in the forum concerning how often civs are chosen along with how frequent certain map types are played: | Comments DisabledĬiv and Map Frequency Posted by Washizu on September 28th, 2000 7:38 a.m. In the mean time, check out the new random map, Moats. If you sent in your guess to Ensemble Studios, they will have the winners posted on Monday, as webmaster Mike “Archangel” McCart is having some mail problems at the moment. It places a ring of water directly surrounding your starting zone, giving you indestructible walls from the start. Sure enough, the new Ensemble Studios random map is titled, Moats. Ohhh… Washizu Was Right!
