Summer Update Notes
Features
Now Available: Age of Empires Online Empire Points
We've introduced a new way to earn and purchase premium content while playing Age of Empires Online: Empire Points (EP). They are now the currency used to purchase all in-game content such as civilizations, boosters, and vanity gear.
You can earn Empire Points while playing your favorite civilizations and as rewards from participating in the Alliance Wars. This change makes Age of Empires Online truly "free-to-play."
You can also purchase Empire Points for real money from within the game. From the log-in menu, click the Add Empire Points button to open the Empire Point Store. This action takes you to the Xbox LIVE Marketplace or Steam Store, where you make your purchase.
There are additional access points within the game: a button next to the Empire Points display in the Capital City UI, another in the Empire Bazaar (which is still used to purchase civilizations and boosters), and others elsewhere.
All premium and pro civilizations, Skirmish, Defense of Crete, and all future premium content are now exclusively purchasable with Empire Points. This is a much less convoluted process. You select the premium content you want and, if you have enough Empire Points, click Buy. Then- this seems like crazy talk- the item is immediately unlocked. No more going to blades, clicking through menus, downloading, etc.
If you already own premium content, nothing has changed. You still own it and will continue to have access to everything you’ve already purchased on all current and future civilizations.
As part of this Empire Points change, we need to reset everyone’s previously earned Empire Points. We're converting your current EP to Coin at a 10:1 ratio, so for every 1 EP you have in your Treasury, 10 Coin will automatically be added to your civilization.
Finally, as a thank you for playing Age of Empires Online, all current players will receive a bonus of 500 EP for free. All new accounts created after this change will receive 100 EP as well.
Now Available: Alliance Wars
Choose your side and take part in the Alliance Wars! This brand new, level 40 end-game contest will test your skills against other Age of Empires Online players. You and your Alliance will compete with other Alliances, earning Empire Points along the way!
The Alliance Wars include:
• Three unique Alliances to choose from, each with their own bonuses
• Empire Points earned on a daily, weekly, and monthly basis
• New gear and vanity
• All-new Alliance-only quests
• Improved passive Alliance Bonuses based on players’ Alliance Rank
If you’re already level 40, the Alliance Wars will be available immediately after the update.
Now Available: Updated Technology Trees
Each civilization has had their Technology Tree thoroughly reviewed and updated for a more compelling gameplay experience. Here are some of the details:
• Units are now unlocked for free as long you have access to their Age
• Tree fully unlocked at 40 with more points to spend each time you reach a new Age
• New tech icons and tree backgrounds
• Flavorful tech naming and balance adjustments
• Star Techs are now available starting at Age 2 (level 3)
More details are outlined in the Balance Updates below.
Now Available: Vanity Gear
Now you can outfit your favorite Age of Empires Online units with unique vanity gear! This gear will override the appearance of your regular equipment. There are special vanity Helm, Shield, and Weapon slots. Which will you try first, the Fish Sword or the Pumpkin Shield? Do you want unique civ-specific Heroic gear? You decide.
You’ll find this gear for purchase (and on display) in Vanity Island, a new region that showcases both old and new vanity. (Yes, we've actually named a region Vanity Island. It seemed funny one day, and we never changed it. We're weird like that sometimes.) The region can be accessed through a new Region Shortcut in the Quest Log or by selecting Vanity Island in your Quest Log, then selecting Travel to Region.
All of the old vanity buildings (Startling Statuary, Glorious Gardens, etc.) can now be purchased individually with Empire Points. Players who own the old DLC versions do not need to purchase EP versions of the same statues and bushes and such; they're still available for Coin from your own buildings.
Now Available: Vanity Armory
To support vanity gear, there's now a Vanity Armory that's attached to the Gear Hall. When you purchase vanity gear, you "add" them to the Vanity Armory via a right-click in your inventory, similar to how you add Advisors.
On opening the Gear Hall, there's a Vanity tab that also opens the Vanity Armory. You will see all available vanity gear, and the ones you've acquired can then be selected (with a left-click) and added to units similar to how you equip regular gear. A numeric display on each Vanity Gear slot shows your current inventory of the item.
Now Available: Empire Consumables
Having difficulty with a quest? Purchase an Empire Consumable from the Empire Store! Usable from level 1 and without any Age restrictions, these provide the necessary firepower to crush even the fiercest of foes.
Some of the Empire Consumables include: Militia of the Empire, Strength of the Empire, and Berserker Wolves.
AI Changes
With this update, the campaign core AI has been updated to account for the new Tech Tree. Many of the AI changes were straight forward and mechanical, simply allowing the AI to use the new content. However, we have also done a full pass to address quest difficulty and our wide range of player skill levels.
In general, quest difficulty has been re-evaluated and now has a steeper curve after level 20. Specifically, the campaign AI now uses key features brought over from Skirmish to allow longer games to be more robust and interesting and use more advanced units and technology:
• AI can now use Caravans.
• AI will now use Priestess of Ra.
• AI will now use Palintonons in most Age 4 quests that use a siege-focused AI.
• AI will now train and use siege other than rams.
• AI will now train and use advanced naval units like the Fire Ship and Catapult Trireme.
• All Egyptian AI now continue to train villagers while aging up.
• Max Gathering Distances have been reduced.
• Tower Building placement has been improved.
• Naval Dock building is now more robust, pre-scouted, and self-maintained.
• Naval AI now uses more than just Triremes.
• Build orders are now able to adapt based on unit types the AI has determined it most needs and based on quest settings (before we used very strict build orders).
• Build order factory counts are adjusted based on villager counts and quest settings (more factories are maintained if more villagers are available to maintain them, and more factories tend to be built in general).
Additional routines were added to support the AI:
• AI can now upgrade their towers on their own.
• AI will now research more frequently.
• In many cases, the AI will now use markets to fix resource imbalances.
• AI will now use the new Tech Tree.
• AI will now commonly patrol resources, defend markets, and, in some cases, create base and naval patrols.
• Tower building is now used a bit more generally across all higher level AI.
Bugs that resulted in the AI stalling have been fixed in spades:
• The Town Center will now consistently be used as the main base.
• AI will not immediately stall if it cannot build a specific type of building.
• Attack Intervals and Group Counts are now obeyed.
• AI no longer auto-resigns for having low unit counts.
• “Kill” objective using quests that involve buildings can no longer be exploited.
• AI intel gathering is now more robust and less prone to miss player base.
• The system for allocating gatherers to food tasks has been revised to not stall and to respond favorably to maps with nearby resources and farms.
Also, adaptive mechanics have been added to scale the AI based on player level and skill. For context, some of the specifics are:
• The level of gear used by the AI will now scale up as player level increases. This is capped on a per-quest basis. Generally speaking, low-level quests cap within a few levels, and higher level quests scale all the way to level 40.
• We now intentionally give the player a level or so to get used to a new Age before the AI is able to reach that same Age. This means that even low-level quests can at times have advanced Ages reached by the AI, whereas before we simply hard-coded the max Age for a given quest.
• Land attacks scale in rate and size based on an evaluation of player skill. This is capped based on player level, with higher-level players seeing the most adaptive scaling. The intent is to add challenge for highly efficient players. However, this is still also limited by the effectiveness of the enemy economy and production facilities. Players who strategically engage enemy villagers and factories will be able to hold the AI at bay more easily than players who turtle.
• Naval attacks scale in size based on the naval bias of a given AI and the strength of the player Navy; which is to say, naval quests are likely to be more naval focused than before but still pull their punches. We tried to avoid having enemy AI that is capable of creating naval blockades (although there are some fun quest ideas we have in mind for this in the future). As a point of comparison, the old model would only send naval attacks if the naval enemy AI was ahead of the player in the naval race, and the AI was constrained to rarely build more than three ships at a time.
At this point in time, the adaptive scaling does not adjust for players who are struggling, and public feedback will significantly impact the likelihood of this sort of feature being implemented in the future. Also, we can safely say that there are still advanced players who will want more challenge (you know who you are!). Feedback will be appreciated and welcomed.
Quest Changes
• “Good Ol' PeePaw” no longer has insane treasure difficulty. It was an accident. Sorry.
• Quests with the objective type “Enemies Defeated” will now use a more generous definition of defeated. The intent is to allow these quests to be completed without the player having to hunt down every single enemy unit.
• “Challenge: Losing Your Religion" no longer involves building conversion.
• Several quest designs were revised with new maps and/or new enemy functionality. The following quests in particular:
• “Take the Beach!”
• “Defend Mycenae”
• “Big King, Big Ego”
• “What an Egomaniac”
• "Helping out a Neighbor"
Defense of Crete Changes
• We've added high-score leaderboards for single-player and co-op. Remember, kids, it will be obvious if you cheat, and LIVE has a zero-tolerance policy that can result in your account being banned.
Other Miscellaneous Changes
• PvP quests now grant rewards for both players, with the victor receiving a more significant reward.
• Replaced Broken Equipment with a variety of new unusable items. These items are still intended to be sold to a vendor but are designed to not look like gear, so there’s no confusion.
• Unit stats are now displayed in the Tech Tree’s and the Unit Info panel’s infotips.
• Added Gear Score to the Gear Hall UI - a numerical value based on the average item level and rarity of your gear. This is intended to be used as a general indicator of the quality of your gear, and don't you go comparing scores with each other, you crazy kids. In the future, it can be used by the matchmaking system for geared PvP.
• Consumables now show their cooldown class to help clarify when they can be used. Class 1 is used for consumables that provide stat buffs; Class 2 is used for consumables that create units.
• Updated sounds for most naval, siege weapons, huntables, predators, and a number of building ambients.
• Added new quest and city music tracks and unique theme music for each Alliance.
UI Changes
• Added Minimize Chat, Minimize Party, and Minimize Quest Tracker buttons to the main persistent UI in both your Capital City and in quests. This allows you to free up more visible screen space when you need it. There's one current limitation: the status of each is lost every time you switch regions or start a quest. We intend to store their settings on your local machine somewhere down the road. Possibly by Wednesday, but probably not.
• Updated store UIs. They can now hold more than 10 items per store, and they display the item level and type.
• Reorganized store inventories. Recipe Store inventories have been moved to the old Blueprint Store. General Stores now sell the Construction Store’s inventory as well as a few additional pieces of cheap, low-level gear. Now that these old stores have been put out of business, the buildings have become run-down and decrepit. These structures can be used as vanity or traded or sold to a vendor. Be warned! Once deleted, they can never be reacquired!
• Updated Blueprint inventory icons to show more of the building it creates.
• Added new load screens with info about the Alliance Wars that appear when you reach level 10 and stop at level 40 and advertisements for each of the three Alliances that appear after level 30 and stop at level 40.
• Increased the size of the quest giver dialog font, so you can actually read the text.
• Removed the News UI element on the main menu. It's no longer necessary, thanks to the improved launcher.
• Improved the Consumables bar. Before it would show the total number of that item in your inventory but would only use the size of the stack that it was generated from. So you could see 10 items in the bar, but if you had two stacks of 5 when you made the shortcut, it would lie to you, as it really only allowed 5 uses. Now the shortcuts give you access to all of that item in your inventory, regardless of how it’s split up.
• Added proper messaging if you're sent a 2v2 Party PvP start invite while you're in a quest. Previously you auto-declined without a message. That still happens, but now the person sending the request to you will receive a "You're busy" message, and you'll receive a chat notice that someone is trying to start a match with you. If you want to quit your quest, knock yourself out.
• If a party invitation times out, you now receive a message that they are busy or not responding instead of receiving a "Decline" message.
Key Mappings
• Stop is back. We repeat. Stop is back. Stop the presses. Stop, in the name of love. Stop me if you think you've heard this one before. Herp.
• Added an Eject Units shortcut to the Celtic Gold Mine.
• Temporarily removed "Patrol" and "Guard," which was added last patch and didn't receive sufficient testing. Whoa, they don't play nice with leashing. Sorry; they never should've been enabled in the first place.
• The View Mail, View Technology, and View Advisor keyboard shortcuts now work as toggles like the Gear Hall. Click to open; click again to close.

Bug Fixes
• Made a bunch of changes to how the UI and fonts scale up and down at different resolutions, fixing a number of issues with super high resolutions - you 2560x1600 users playing in full screen, should see improved visuals, even though we are secretly jealous of you - and with widescreen resolutions. Seriously, trying to get this all work was like herding cats. With a spatula.
• Fixed a random crash when closing the game while searching for co-op matches.
• Made the font size the same for the Custom player bio in the Skirmish Booster UI, because someone actually noticed it was 1-point smaller. Weirdo.
• Fixed some weird issues with a number of UIs that didn't properly allow you to click outside of their visible areas.
• Fixes for messaging when you have parental controls enabled.
• Party system fix that could keep you from starting matchmaking despite not being in a party.
• Fix for a lock-up on the "Creating Game…" screen if the other player canceled a co-op quest they were inviting you to join.
• Fix for a bug where the game couldn't retrieve a newly reset leaderboard until entries appeared.
• Fix for a bug where the leaderboards couldn't be retrieved beyond the last page.
• Add AI button and your level is now translated in all languages in the Skirmish UI.
• Units in the Gear Hall no longer show the tech upgraded names, just the base one. So you won't see "Champion Spearman," just "Spearman."
• Recently crafted items in the hopper no longer say "Right-click to equip" when you move the pointer over them, as right-click sends the item to your inventory.
• Players starting a new Persian civ will now get the fancy "You've reached Level 20" animation if they hit ESC to leave the menu; it was previously only triggered on hitting the Close button.
• Fix for bug where Gold Mines were collapsing when they still had some available gold. Won't someone think of the poor miners!
• Fixed a bug where you could close the Gear Hall with the keyboard shortcut with an item on your cursor and then not be able place it.
• We now ensure that a player has room for all Guardian Rewards when on a quest before awarding them out.
• One of our engineers made a change that apparently "got the noodle." We have no idea what that means, nor do we want to know.

	Hier verder oude OP was niet meer relevant Mijn vraag in het vorige deel: quote: Op maandag 6 februari 2012 10:44 schreef GlenSpey het volgende: Kick. Al enige tijd wekt dit spel mijn interesse. Uiteindelijk het spel toch maar gedownload (hoefde verder ook nergens te betalen, terwijl ik het spel wel regelmatig in de winkels tegenkom), alleen nu zit ik een beetje vast. De launcher start wel, maar laat alleen maar een grayed out play button zien zonder verdere informatie. Na een paar minuten verdwijnt de launcher automatisch. Ik kan dus niet spelen en heb eigelijk ook geen idee wat ik nu verder moet doen... Lees trouwens ook een hoop ellende over het spel op het officiële forum, is het dan werkelijk zo slecht?

Hier is mijn antwoord: Probeer het te openen met admin rechten, dat lost bijna alle problemen op En over kritiek, er is veel kritiek ja, maar die zijn vaak afkomstig van mensen die het niet eens geprobeerd hebben. Ze zeggen bijv. AoE 3 was beter, want voor 50 euro had je meer landen. Ze weten echter niet dat in AoE 3 alle landen dezelfde unit sets hadden, met een paar unieke units. In AoE Online zijn alle landen 100% uniek, niet alleen de units, maar ook de speelstijl. Net zoals in Age of Mythology. Maar goed, probeer het uit, en als je een leuke drukke server zoekt, raad ik je Marathon aan (daar zit ik ook, onder de naam LordDraganta ) PS. Het lukt me nu eindelijk om de 2 man legendary quests te soloen! Hier een video voor de mensen die het ook willen proberen: Legendary: Take That Three Times, Tiamat Pirates! SOLO

Tot nu toe lukken Take that three times... en Renegade Escapade met gemak, maar de recapture blabla quests zijn echt onmogelijk. Ik snap niet hoe ze dat doen. Op Youtube een paar keer gekeken, maar daar hebben ze steeds geluk, vijand valt superlaat aan, en zo'n dingen. Heb jij die al geprobeerd? Ik ga zo eens aan de slag met de population quests Edit: Gelukt! Advisor regelen die archers sneller traint, in 3e age upgrade doen om soldaten sneller te trainen, je hele economie op hout en goud, en dan archers pompen . Had nog tijd over!

	Zit te twijfelen of ik een premium pack aan ga schaffen en voor welke civilization dit gaat worden. Ben een casual speler en zal ook niet meer worden dan dat, dus welke civ raden jullie aan? Of maakt het allemaal niet zoveel uit en gaat het meer om de looks?

Ik vind persoonlijk de Grieken gaaf, maar de Perzen zijn nu in de aanbieding, ik geloof 800 MS points (10 euro) Het is een pro civ, dus die zijn echt uniek, en beginnen ook nog op lvl 20. Nadeel is wel dat de quests meteen moeilijk zijn voor beginnende spelers. Ik ben zelf ook redelijk casual, ik stop vaak een paar maanden, maar ben toch blij premium Grieken te hebben. Er zijn toch geen maandelijkse kosten, dus waarom niet. Als free player kun je echt niks. Het verschil zit in de gameplay, maar qua sterkte zijn ze redelijk gebalanceerd. Perzen hebben bijvoorbeeld sterkere units, maar kosten ook meer, en Egypte heeft hele goedkope slappe units. Grieken zijn gebalanceerd. [ Bericht 9% gewijzigd door Draganta op 13-03-2012 11:46:55 ]

De Egyptenaren kosten vreemd genoeg 880 MS points. Zeker zodat je net wat meer extra punten kopen moet als je er meerdere wil. Heb begrepen dat de Perzen iets meer op early rush gebaseerd zijn dan de rest, ik denk dat ik dus maar voor de Grieken ga

Ik speel btw op server Marathon, mocht je ooit samen willen questen Ik hoop dat de Kelten ook mooi geprijsd zijn als ze uitkomen!

	Speel dit ook als griek. Iemand zin om een keer een coop quest te doen? Als ik op die knop druk vindt hij niets. Username: Baklap

	@Draganta, nice! Wil bij mij nog niet lukken. Ik speel met de Grieken (lv 40) en de Egyptenaren (lv. 22) op de Abydos server. Username: JantienF

	Grafgezeik met een creditcard voor MS points heb premium aangeschaft voor de Grieken en kom welgeteld 23 cent tekort om premium voor een 2e civ aan te schaffen zonder extra kosten. Wil ik een tweede civ dan moet ik dus eerst weer 21 euro inleggen voor nóg een visa-voucher Nouja, dan maar met alleen de Grieken aan de slag. Zit op server Marathon btw

	Haha ja, die punten aantallen zijn daar op berekend volgens mij, echt vervelend. Ik ga jullie allemaal eens toevoegen, en dan kunnen we co-op spelen! Ik heb alle quests al gedaan ,maar vind het niet erg te helpen @GlenSpey, wat is je gamertag? [ Bericht 6% gewijzigd door Draganta op 14-03-2012 21:19:12 ]

	Is het eigenlijk mogelijk de complete techtree vrij te spelen? Ik spaar nu punten op namelijk maar als je ze uiteindelijk toch allemaal kunt vrijspelen is dat niet echt nodig.
GlenSpey	donderdag 15 maart 2012 @ 16:40
	Na heel veel dubben toch maar besloten om de Egyptian premium er ook bij te nemen. Terwijl ik in het lijstje van de marketplace zit te kijken naar de prijzen valt mijn oog op het 'persian launch package', waarin zowel de Egyptian als de Persian premium packs zitten plus het Crete booster pack. Totale kosten 1200 punten. Had ik die drie dingen los gekocht (wat ik in de toekomst waarschijnlijk toch wel had gedaan) dan hadden me dat 2080 punten gekost. Bespaar dus mooi een paar euro Mijn gebruikersnaam is LuminalBean460 , ik heb het niet zelf verzonnen en weet ook niet hoe ik het moet wijzigen, maar dat maakt ook niet zoveel uit

Ik heb bijv. alle archers en siege unlocked, maar ik heb niet eens de hypaspist, maar een maat van mij heeft wel goede infantry. De volgende patch zorgt er voor dat je op lvl 40 alles unlockt. quote: Op donderdag 15 maart 2012 16:40 schreef GlenSpey het volgende: Na heel veel dubben toch maar besloten om de Egyptian premium er ook bij te nemen.

	Zijn die star techs voor villagers nuttig om in te investeren of niet? Meer startkapitaal en mijnen die minder snel worden leeggetrokken klinkt zeer goed, evenals 'always active'. Echter voor de weg ernaartoe moet ik natuurlijk wel een hoop punten in de techs daarvoor pompen...

Ik heb het voor goud en hout gedaan, omdat ik veel archers maak, en een mooi startkapitaal heb om te rushen. Ze allemaal pakken vond ik weer teveel punten kosten. Ze zijn het wel waard.

Rushen, daar ben ik voorlopig nog niet klaar voor denk ik Heb vooralsnog namelijk al moeite met de Defense of Crete easy mode als ik 10 waves doe dan gaat het wel, maar probeer ik er 20 dan gaat het helemaal fout. Mijn tactiek tot nog toe: - ASAP 4 torens bij de 3 reeds geplaatste torens neerzetten. - Murder holes researchen - Leger op peil houden en de torens na schade repareren. Dit gaat prima totdat de vijand catapults inzet, die dingen vegen mijn torens met het grootste gemak van de kaart waardoor ik mijn leger ver van de standplaats moet sturen om ze te vernietigen. Echter word ik telkens door het vijandelijke leger wat mee is gestuurd met de catapults afgemaakt/geconvert. Als ik dan video's bekijk waarin sommige lui gewoon 30 waves ELITE in hun eentje doen...

	Ik speel sinds kort ook AoEO. Opzicht een leuk spel, alleen begrijp ik het Online nog niet zo. Want tja je speelt meer alleen dan online. Mijn gamertag is Berik.
