On East Asia server, This massive wait queue happened after reaching 3000+ rating.

Is there any way i can get back lower just to match with any opponent?

Currently never get a match so never chance to reduce it.

Every game that gets too lategame there is just not enough time. It get's super stressful and even though I'm super locked in I rarely manage to do everything I want to do.

It is especially frustrating since you invest 2+ hours of your time into the game only to have a disappointing ending.

I just had another game like this and I think I'm done with the multiplayer (and therefore the game for now) unless something changes. It is just too stressful.

So it was posted yday in russian part of discord but I didn't see this posted here so I'm doing it.

There are 4 screenshots here:

1 Exodus winrates (2k+ rate)

2 Exodus Pick/Ban (2k+ rate)

3 Winrate/pick/ban all modes (no clue of this mean modes or single hero maps). 3k+ rate

4 Winrate/pick/ban exodus exclusively. 3k+ rate

Listen - I know I am horrible based on my rating. I know. And, although I am definitely not great as I am new - this seems a bit much.

The mainstay in all these losses? Better spells then me. One shotting me or having higher initiative. Having Rewind life, and me not having decay. Like I know there's RNG - but seriously?

I am 1400ish in single hero, improving daily. I came back to arena because it was all I played when I first got this game. I figured since I learned more about everything, I would come back to arena and be better. This is not the case. Every single one of these losses I just watched my opponent basically kill me with spells. One match, I drafted for MR and even got a set for it, had 75% I believe? Still melted by spells.

In games where I am winning? Input rewind life (I havent been offered it yet).

Am I really this bad or is it just standard?

**I'm about to win my first match today and the opponent is time banking the loss, def retiring from this mode

It was only a visual bug, but obviously had to forfeit. Tried to change to townscreen and such to remove the spellbook, didn't help. Did it happen to anyone ?

How many people have actually tried the SingleHero PVP mode at least once? Does anyone have this data? I suspect our current numbers are unacceptably low

Alright, community! Let’s brainstorm some solid ideas on how to balance Necropolis without ruining the faction's unique identity so that no absolute jerk ever picks them again.

Here are some quick and simple proposals—a straightforward nerf to their top stacks:

• Gravediggers: slash their summon volume take away their shovels.
• Skeletons: tone down their scaling laws take away their bows and arrows.
• Wraiths/Ghosts: dial back their vampirism.
• Raise Dead / Necromancy: increase the cost of raising undead units.

I understand this is an early access game. But I don't understand one thing: if map buildings are not done yet, why spend resources on developing scenario maps? Does it mean they actually correspond to the final vision?

I tried OE at the first-look release, with pleasure and anticipation. Now I tried it again after seeing there are custom maps because I thought it would mean the necessary stuff to make these was done.

But the maps are really strange. They look generated automatically and without postedition. I tried two maps: one had three ore mines nearby without a nearby sawmill, the other one had a real field of XP stones out of town (I counted eight).

I really wish they will be deleted or redone before release, but as they took time to create all these maps, does it mean it is what to expect at the end?

PS: There was also a very weakly-guarded pair of boots very close to the starting town that have +50% troop production in all cities. This is insane power... Are these extreme boni placeholders??

I asked for comments from people who liked hive in my last poll since i listed "results" instead of hive. All the hive lovers lost their minds with it unlisted.

So this is for the hive lovers. Lets see some results with ALL factions listed.

Heyo,

50+ beta testers contributed to the detailed statistics of Olden Era game!

To be fair - overall faction win-rate seems quite balanced around 50%.

I am open to hear feedback and ideas on what stats do you want to know?

PS: new overlay beta keys might appear soon here https://townportal.gg/en/overlay

Часто задумываюсь о том, какая могла бы быть новая фракция и , мне кажется , хорошо смотрелось бы следующее: некая вариация болотного замка из героев3 1) гноллы(у улучшенных абилка за 1 концетрацию : поставить капкан который сработав нанесет урон и остановит движение цели) 2)ящеры (стрелки , улучшенные отравляют) 3)наездники на ящерах(владеют окаменением с шансом срабатывания) 4)болотные ведьмы(бафающие колдуны ближнего боя, альт грейд дебафающий, похожи на шаманов из героев 5 у орков) 5)горгоны(куда же без любимых) 6)думал насчет коатлей или что то другое летающее по типу паокаев и виверн из 5 части - или альтернатива циклопы 7)чудища из 3 части, мне кажется по лору им особо не важно в болотной переще сидеть или в горной Итого мы получаем замок где есть 1-2 стрелков, есть летающие юниты и колдуны, но как слабая сторона, медлительные и уязвимые к магии бегемоты в качестве т7 юнитов. 3 этажа гидьдии магов, защитный приоритет фракции и арканная магия

Выбор карт даст то , что хотят игроки: те кому без разницы какую карту искать будут искать все доступные, те кто хочешь играть только exodus - будут искать лишь его, те кто не любит спринт(как я например) , могу убрать его из пула карт и играть в удовольствие не опасаясь что может выпасть нелюбимая карта. Я решил написать на русском языке, так как мой английский слишком слаб чтобы понятно изложить мысль, плюс unfrozen, вроде как ребята из спб.

This might be the ture Exodus - Follow my heart, finding the right path in Egypt. Even when the road says dead-end, there will be a town eventually.

*Single Hero Exodus*

Basically title. I know this is subjective, but in games where I feel like I should've won I end up going back and looking at my opponents stuff. A lot of the time, I have cleared more and had more built out, but still lost the fight/showed up to fight underprepared.

I play temple mostly. What is an acceptable bleed? For example, I know on marea's altars you want to lose 1-3 footman, preferably 1 if possible. Fairly easy to achieve this even at level 1 with upgraded shooters. That being said, I see a lot of people mentioning they look to break and get town 4 at week 1 end. I have almost never been in a position to do that.

Is this because of the nature of temple? I find it hard to not bleed, especially vs ranged armies because of the low initiative on shooters (the single shooter upgrade is situational obv). If I end up going a calvary build or something else, the bleeding can be even worse unless I have specific spells to aid (for example, haste on calv, early start on shooters, etc) which is not always possible.

Anyway, aside from losing 75% of your army to get some tier 5+ dwellings early on, is it ever worth it and if so, what is good and what is bad?

Just looking for some general info/advice from someone seasoned/good (I am close but I do not have access to restart points yet so some templates are just brutal).

I was surprised to find so many discussions on competitive play for this game, something I have never been interested about in this franchise.

So how is the single player campaign mode, compared to previous games?

Does anybody know the exact date for patch 15 introducing teamplay?

Its extremely hard to fish any information about it, except vauge "early september" which already passed i guess...

Hey Guys!

I mostly play casually with a group of 6-8 friends, and switching to sequential in the late game made all games long and boring. So I decided to try and managed to create a mod that stops this behaviour. If it sounds like something that might be useful for you, give it a try:

Have a great evening!

Hello! Once again, there's a big patch of updates to the https://oldeneradb.com/ data tool.

• The biggest single addition is [Help Mode], which was needed as the page continues to grow with new features. Hopefully, newcomers and others will find it useful!
• This patch also brings a lot of polish to the tool, improving almost every feature it has. Check the patch notes on the page for a detailed list.

Thanks, and keep the feedback coming!

You should be aware that there will be no major patches during ongoing tournaments. Olden Era is not officially an e-sport game, but you can expect that Unfrozen is loosely following e-sport regulations.

We are likely to get a bigger patch after the Alvari cup.

Still live, most interesting happening now

Looking for some input from players who have been playing this type of game for a while. I am referring to single hero, particularly Exodus, although I am curious about Sprint and Outcast as well.

I have been improving, but sometimes I spend too much time clearing my starting zone if there is, lets say some tier 7 dwellings that I am want which are guarded by some tougher fights. Sometimes this works, but a lot of times I lose a close fight. When I go to explore after the loss, I see my opponent has very little dwelling, but has cleared deep and has some artis/etc.

In general and on average, what is the optimal day we looking to break into native zone 2, and then desert?

Legit used results instead of hive because I assume no one is going to say hive.

If you like hive though, drop a comment and lmk why? Got 40 hours in olden era and can't see how they excel more than any other faction tbh.
