Age of empires 2 relics Patch#

Mongol outposts are still special as they provide the Yam network movement speed bonus. Outpost cost increased from 70 wood to 100 woodДeveloper Note: We found the Outpost rushing strategy to be too low of an investment for Mongols for how powerful and difficult it is to counter.This change is targeted at slowing down the opening and giving enemies more time to muster a defense. Starting wood decreased by 50 (Updated to clarify previous wording)Дeveloper Note: The Mongol civilization gets off to a fast start by not needing houses and enhanced stone income from the Ovoo.Warrior Monks now move 25% slower while carrying a RelicДeveloper Note: In congruence with the scout speed reduction, we are making this change to allow more counterplay options against Warrior Monks quickly grabbing up relics on the map.Horse Archers no longer receive additional attack speed and additional damage from the Incendiary Arrows technology. Horse Archers now attack slower, fire rate changed from 2.0 to 2.5 (Updated to clarify previous wording).Дeveloper Note: We've noticed a larger issue with attack speeds in general and will be doing a more robust fix in the future to address this issue.

Fixed an instance of the Prelate getting stuck while inspiring and would no longer inspire other units.

Spearmen now activate the spearwall ability correctly.

You can see the full list of patch notes at the official Age of Empires site. There are a number of other changes specific to certain civilizations that I've copied below. This should make it easier for a tech switch when going up against archers. And all Horsemen rank II to IV have had their ranged armor buffed from 1 to 2. All Scouts in the game now move 35% slower when they're carrying an animal carcass, giving them a bit of a nerf that's important in the earlier ages.

For the general changes, the player pool matchmaking system has been expanded by 67%, meaning you should find ranked games faster thanks to there being more players to choose from.
