Give us finally a Standard Game mode.....
In the level of Unofficial Advanced Game Settings....
Having these mininum Settings for such a long time after releasing during 2023 is just a freaking shame for the AoE Franchise....

And while speaking of it
Extend finally the freaking silly Formation & Stances system of AoE4.

Me and many others don't want to rely on joke of a Mod System, that doesn't function properly all the Time......

This ♥♥♥♥♥♥ Mod System has been part of CoH1 , CoH 2, probably CoH 3 aswell and AoE4.

And it has in all the Games the same freaking issue....

Edit: Thanks for the Jester, Jester... I love you too. :*

They will add more options to the game, in dlc 2 or 3 to get people to buy it.

I bet the mod system is this way for the sake of console and non steam players. Game pass etc

It maybe weird, but it is something that is taking off lately

It allows the devs to support modding on all versions of their games, PC and consoles alike.
We have seen several games use this now, anno 1800 for example, I know there is another with mod.io integration but can't remember name of game.

I think that's why though, dying light 2 has mods that are built in now as well, but not all it's a hybrid system so that's a + on PC

Unfortunately because consoles have become close to PC's in power the devs are trying to keep games open to all players. Back in the day only PC's had the power for mods and not just the base game, plus Xbox and PlayStation made it hard not doing crossolatform etc to mod.

Now with cross play everything, more powerful consoles etc
Modding that supports all platforms isn't going anywhere.
This is why we have built in mods...

I don't care about multi-crossplatform Mod support.
NOthing wrong with it.
The Main problem is still the general Mod System that Relic implemented

The Mod System is causing problems again and again. And this issue has been there since the first implementation in CoH 1 , continued with CoH 2 , and now on AoE 4 aswell.

there is chance of 1/5 that the automatic Mod DL won't function properly.

I play regulary modded games, and nearly in every game, i get 1-2 persons where the Mod System refuses to DL the Mod on a automatic way.
And this Issues existed since CoH1! Till today.

This has nothing to do with supporting Modding across multiple platforms via the same System. But rather a Code Problem introduced by Relic Devs.
And this problem persists until today, including the olders games CoH1 - CoH 2
Where the Mod System constantly malfunction or at least doesn't work properly.

And because of this i don't want to rely on a particially broken mod system (not fully functional Mod System)
And i repeat i blame specificly Relic for it, since this is an issue that has been part of other Games aswell.
I repeat this is not a Support modding across multiple Platforms issue.
It's a Code issue because of the way Relic implemented it.

A problem that persists along diffrent games, just shows and proves the bad coding of this implemented system by Relic.

There is a standard game setting...

There are stances and formations when you select a group of units - it is the same as other aoe games

Feel free to contact game developers on their forums to offer them your expert advice on how to run the mod system better

This is nothing that the devs couldn't add to the standard game mode, or do an extra game mode with those settings...
Yet afte rall that time, they still didn't which just shows and proves the disrespect for some of the Customers and more important the laziness doing only the bare minimum for this game.

Did you actually read and comphrend what i wrote? Or did you just skip the majority to spread your mustard in this thread?

Read what i wrote, and compare it to what you wrote please.

Also it's unlikely that the devs of the game will share the code for the particial broken Mod System for various reasons including Contracts.
