• your update meade it unplayable and you dont care, i allrady contactet your support severeal times and always got pushed away with nonsense excuses, i can not start the game since you updatet it some month ago i reinstalled it i tryed every fix i found in the web but still: since your update wen i wanna play it it pups up but gos in to black screen end ends itself after some time....

  you made the game i realy love unplayable i even are not alowed to install it on a other device with same id becouse microsoft thinks i didnt purchased it ....... and i cant purchase it becouse i allrady bout it on the store and still kant install it on other device wtf

  just crap and its your foult

• Great updates! Thanks for all the work you continue to do and have done!

• still unable to zoom out in map editor, hope to consider that next time.

• We need to fix Trade ship x2 of Palmyra . Auto ballance team in multiplayer.Chat box in lobby....

  • I contacted the team about the first issue and have some details. Interestingly, the Palmyran Trade Ships are actually working as intended—though perhaps not in the way you’d expect. Let me explain:

    The amount of gold that is collected by a Trade Ship is calculated by the distance it has to travel between the two docks. At a minimum distance—when the docks are essentially right next to each other—the ships will receive 7 gold. That amount then scales based on the distance traveled, up to a maximum of 75 gold for longer trips. This is a universal scale (and a universal cap) for all civilizations.

    In regards to the Palmyrans, they begin to receive double the amount of gold as soon as the distance traveled starts scaling *beyond* the minimum value (of 7 gold). This means that it takes half the distance to reach the maximum payout of 75 gold than any other civilization, though the total amount they can receive from any given trade is still capped at that total.

    It can be a bit confusing, but the Palmyrans are properly receiving double the amount up to the maximum amount allowed for Trade Ships to collect. It can also be noted that this is consistent with the original behavior in Age of Empires: Rise of Rome.

    Hopefully this helps explain the issue! Happy trading!

• Elo Rating is buggy after few games it is back to 1600 , few other players also experiencing the same ( Rating some times is not the same as we see)

Players can choose between the original AI, the updated HD Edition AI that was added alongside the HD Edition of the game, and a newer AI developed for the Definitive Edition.^[6] The original AI had to cheat to be competitive, while the new AI is advanced enough to not require any cheating.
