This mod is made to help noobs advance in game without trying.
Rcb is ruined.
Majority of active players -> community. It does not help trying to serve for the inactive ones.

What people like you don't seem to understand is that if the map is more balanced and easier to advance it makes it harder to win.
more balance => harder to win because it evens the playing field.
granted there are issues with that (i.e. game can get drawn out at times in a khan war/the like).
RCB is not CBA. It used to be if you had a strong civ in RCB you could easily win. No longer the case now with fair mod.
I re-made the map. Completely from scratch.
Map has been edited by the community over and over and over again over the years.
All rambit made was the base map which differs vastly.
Anywho, believe what you want. Doesn't really matter to me. I just browse forums nowadays. Don't play.
Yeh I dont post on the forums to much. Only when I see stuff that intrests me, like this.
I used original RCB to take me to #1 in the custom scenario points at GamePark, IGZ and partially here at Voobly. So I figure this map was remade to stop me. As I was the number one player of RCB to beat. Until Voobly changed it so the noobs could win. When Voobly changed the map I quit playing.
Now what I wanna know when is the NFL, NBA, MLB, NASCAR, NHRA, MMA, and all the other sports, Academic Institutions and Microsoft gonna change their rules and the way the game or institution is played or taught. So the fans or people mentally challanged, noobs, lower IQ, handicaped, non physical
people can jump out of the stands to play the game, or hop in the race car or get on the podium to get the academic award no matter what your skill level or learning capability, so that they can win. Or even when is Microsoft gonna make a computer game that anyone can play and win regaurdless of their skill level.
This is how Dictators, Monarchies and evil leaders in human history played games of skill or chance. They changed the rules to their ability so they could win. And if the masses didnt like it. Off with their heads!

Celts suck ass.
Anywho, after the league is over I think a new version should be put out favoring the lower units as discussed.
Edit: A ton could still be tested/implemented in this map. Too many things honestly.
I think it'd be best just to...
1) Raise price of khan/harald/global
2) Remove gates and increase standard base defense
3) Track which civs lose the most and improve them further
4) Increase efficacy of tiny island units
5) Some guy today said Nevski should be named Weapon. Just stating facts.
Also, why did bombard tower one hit kill khan get removed?
1. Problem: Players targeting and/or teaming other players solely due to previous conflicts, or due to external factors like rating, name, etc. Oftentimes, we see accusations of X player trying to ruin Y player's game due to some past beef. Additionally, in games with a mix of lower and higher rated players, the lower rated players can strategically team up to kill off any higher rated players and maximize their chances of winning (this happens typically in low rated games with just 1 or 2 high rated players).
Possible Solution: Hide all player names in-game. Only show Player 1, Player 2, etc. The player names would also have to be hidden on the multiplayer selection screen (I'm not sure how feasible this is, but otherwise, it would still be possible to know who is where).
2. Problem: Players use various techniques to hide their kings or make it difficult/impossible to count them. Players have to rely on shoddy data and "pinging" to determine who is really a threat, and oftentimes, players who are the actual threat will try to accuse another player of being a greater threat. It kind of makes this aspect of RCB a simple shouting match in which the more convincing guy can alter the game results.
Possible Solution: Have a built-in King Counter in-game that shows the number of kings that person currently has across all stores (2 x king for the top store), perhaps next to the player name or in a separate overlay near the raze/kill/time counter.

I removed it, because either you made it intentionally or by mistake so that all towers deal critical hit to Khans, this resulted in the Tiny Island Khan option being pointless altogether. I did, however, buff them aswell, by reducing the cost from 250 stone back to 125, so players could build twice as many BBT.

Not possible with Scenario designing nor modding, this requires exe-hacking or a special patch/tool.

I personally think that game will become too easy, if such a change is made. Having vision in all stores by microing your kings has been part of RCB as long as I can remember and possibly even way before my time aswell. If enough people think this is an issue, a poll could be made related to this matter.
I admit, I never thought about the beginning Tiny Island Khan because honestly... he's worthless. Idk who in their right mind would buy him. It's pretty much either Archers or rarely Paladins.
Celts should get some sort of boost in the beginning if they're truly the worst civ. Jesus... I wasn't wrong was I. They do suck ass.
