I've just installed the latest update and now it doesn't run!
Missing one:
Villagers and towers no longer do reduced damage against walls before Castle AgeI hope this also applies to AOE II Gold Edition, it's failing to load and I've been running the MS Windows 10 update app for the past several months now, and it's still not finding this update. Any advise?
I have a problem with the mods of the game does not let me in what I do to solve this problem
Ok so how do I get this 5.8 patch? I don't see a link to download it anywhere
I think that the italian fishing ships discount has become useless, i mean minus 25 wood was a good bonus, but 11 wood is near useless, plus it dosn't even have anymore the +2 LoS, it was the only early bonus that they have. Moreover my tech tree still tell me that they cost 25 wood less
Plus, with the discount on dock's technologies and trade card it suited well the history of italy
