This balance patch is designed to give some much needed buffs and nerfs to AoC in order to fix some of the flaws that have been carried with it for the last 15 years. Tired of the 1 unit only water wars? Tired of the Archer/Knight dominated land wars? Then this is for you!
The aim of this patch is to make the tweaked balance version of the game the new standard, leaving behind the broken things in AoC and moving forward to a new era of balanced gameplay.
