it's straggler tree not staggered tree

[@AhmedHan]

@@Konstamonsta Thanks. Edited.

[@Neiros2]

@@Konstamonsta staggered trees should totally be a thing. When trees reach a low amount of remaining wood they should have a chance to enter a staggered state. The player then has a limited time to perform a "Glory Chop" which makes the tree explode in a burst of extra wood.

[@miguelinileugim]

What a shame, I thought this was a reverse forest nothing with plentiful food, gold and stone but no wood. I was wondering how would players go at it when knights are cheaper than pikemen and a castle being cheaper than a stable. I can dream at least.

[@Newwby]

Same, that was what I thought going in (good vid nonetheless), and I'd love to see something like that!

there should be a few gold nothing and relic nothing videos for you if you search through the uploads, basically all the "nothings" have been done as far as I can remember, I think maybe ring nothing is gold stone and berries but no wood? that's probably what you want

[@daanwilmer]

T-West recently did a really in-depth explanation of the Arabia map generation, and it's really complicated and tries to make things balanced by doing fancy terrain tricks to generate resources for each player. Since these operations use basically MSPaint's "paint bucket" to fill in player areas and resources, you can imagine that it breaks when areas overlap that it thinks should be different. I guess you got unlucky and the areas overlapped, which caused the script to not give you any trees. So, thanks DE.

[@MrHeorhe]

So you are telling me in every 1v1on the new Arabia where the players dont spawn opposite positions, there is a chance one of them just doesnt get treelines ...

[@AArmstrongDotOrg]

His review was really good though T90 should watch it for sure. It's weird because the previous generations were not even that bad for wood, and could have been tweaked. They have 100% over-engineered it so it breaks it's generation in quite a few smaller map situations. More complicated for little balance gain - remove the randomness from random maps but add the bugs since it defaults to "nothing" in certain areas, and those areas are now much larger. Really disappointed since it's going to affect some pro games.

[@miamesa8652]

In the original age of empires 3 there used to be a similar problems because of decorations the game would spawn, basically, it would spawn decorations around that map after generating every ressources, and if it spawned where there was a ressource, it'd delete the ressource I've stopped counting how many tournament games I've seen restarted because a player's gold didn't spawn in

[@Booklat1]

no trees and no wolves, what a great map

[@woundedlobster]

You would think they would like, I dunno, test the map generation to see if it works?

[@Wanderer1258]

This is actually a real-world Arabia. You are not supposed to have trees in the desert. The devs are making the game more realistic. 11

[@SteelShroom256]

Maybe next major update they can fix Mesoamerican civs having access to siege weapons.

[@NightShadow69420]

T90 when casting low elo legends: Chopping down straggler trees is inefficient, you should immediately build a lumber camp next to your wood line. This is why a lot of players get stuck in this ELO. RNG gods: We will make you respect the straggler trees.

I would’ve probably just whined in all chat and resigned lol. Respect for playing it out and finding a way to win. Wish they would revert Arabia to how it used to be.

[@NoobNota]

i just swapped runestones, i honestly don't mind since i find the terrain palette more pleasing as well

[@redryder3721]

The same thing happened to me. I had no trees for miles (in fact I was also in the left corner) and yes that's what I did, I said in all chat "I'm resigning but look at the map". The enemy agreed it was pretty dumb. But in retrospect I could have tried to play.

Shows nicely how stress affects experienced players the same way as newbies -messy games, out of control situations, panic decisions.. The only difference is that newbies get those situations happening all the time because they have no experience to handle them, and experienced players have so they don't panic as often. But they do too when enough unexpected happens! ;)
