You made it from scratch, took the good version offline for like 2 months, and then dump your ''new'' version on it (probably while thinking a version is better then no version) which imo nobody was waiting on.
Firstly, the 'good' version also includes changes from me. Secondly, you had a year of the new version's changes being available, and said nothing. Thirdly, it's hardly my fault the bot had to be taken offline because Blizzard released a patch which broke the old version (and you are exaggerating on duration)
Previous version u had only bot for materials, top for gold, meaning 1/3 of the map control would get u a set in 5 minutes, which is kinda different then needing a complete map for 5 minutes.
Firstly, you only need a complete map for the first 15 minutes since material gain increases every 15 minutes. Secondly, in the previous version if you had 2/3 of the map control but not bot you would get a set in 25 minutes since the basic income was 5. Dividing the material gain amongst the lanes and increasing the basic income means it is actually easier to market (as you don't have to keep one lane locked for long periods), and means you have to focus on all of the lanes instead of just one. Same logic for dividing the gold amongst top/bot.
Yeah for people who play on the highest level its actually better to see if a market gives 18/18, so u can see whats happening by the way of ur market income, instead of 1/1 which just translates to nothing mapwise. Same with east zipang, one quick check on it to see if its 180/180 every 30 sec and you know you have full map control. Atleast this has always been my experience, but what do i know lol.
The reason it doesn't is I coded it differently without this in mind making it difficult to get this information. I can add it in future but will need to recode. It's obviously a nice feature but it's not exactly game breaking.
Not sure why you'd think it would be a good idea not to be able to repair towers, but instead give them some regeneration. Lanes will die everytime now forcing midlane to tech like a maniac for better towers every game.
If they have a large stack attacking the towers the amount you could repair was very limited anyway. Firstly that's not true, lanes do not die everytime now. You could play and see that for yourself. Secondly that's a matter of changing values, yes towers are now a little more vulnerable since you cannot repair during combat (though again, I think you are greatly over exaggerating the impact of this) but the hp of towers, regeneration rate, and time at which it regenerates (currently when not attacking, but can be changed to when not attacked, which is when you would repair previously usually) can all be changed to mitigate this. Regen rate is a bit slow atm so I will probably increase it.
I gave them regeneration because you can't have workers repairing when they are invulnerable. They are invulnerable to fix pulling. This is the only solution for that issue.
You cant even join another game anymore after playing ''civ'' without restarting or your ass gets desynced too.
Again, has nothing to do with me or the version. It's Blizzard and it's present in a great variety of maps. Including the old version.
Like they say, never change a winning recipe.
The great majority of games get content update patches, especially competitive ones... unless it's something like Quake where the balance is very set. This is certainly not the case for Civ. The meta was very stagnant and has been for many years. The lane rewards were one reason for this so I am switching it up.
