Petition for a New Patch

Ensemble Studios and Microsoft have done a wonderful job with Age of Empires, but because it's older, and Age of Kings is more popular, we won't get any more support unless we ask for it. Age of Empires is better than AoK, but falls behind because of it's older interface and lack of action taken against cheaters. If you feel the same way, Email ES and speak your mind. If you Feel exactly the same way, sign my petition (at side), and your name will be submitted with the following email. However, please read it, and be sure of what you are voting for. Thanks.

 

Dear Sirs.

While Rise of Rome is a wonderful game, and has held on to loyal players for a long time, its popularity is waning, not because it isn't as good, but because it lacks. It lacks the support and follow through needed to improve it and keep it at the head of its game. I, HonoredMule, and the people who have signed below, are loyal players of this game, who want to see Rise of Rome made fixed, so it can be played for years to come. I truly believe that with a little tweaking, RoR will be the best RTS of all time, accessible to low-end computers, balanced, and yet always fast-paced, exciting, and beautiful. So, please, take the following requests seriously. (note: charts on the old and new civ and unit stats are here.)

    Other Changes

    The interface can be advanced by a great deal, simply by allowing the right-click-hold and move feature (already incorporated) to work when units are selected. This could be achieved simply by ignoring the right-click-release (which would normally send a command) if the mouse, and consequently the screen, moves while the right button is held. This would be a vast improvement, and a good alternative to punching the screen resolution to 80000 by 60000 in order to see an entire battlefield. Quickly sending precise commands is much easier with this method, as well as keeping a better overview of the current events. Please ES, this is very important.

    Finally, take all cheats out of multiplayer games, and improve the protection against hacks! We are all sick and tired of cheaters.
