Why do topols exist?

I have heard that its because of eca turtle capibilities, but russia has already the easiest way to break them...

Did I Miss something?

They're a 2.0 unit that is only in the current version simply because they were shown very early and hyped up way too much.

Some future plan mod for AoE3:Asian Dynasty or FO4



It's special gain access for 1.851 for Valina Russia and was developed 6 years ago. Later 2.0, Topol-M will be exclusive for General Zukov.

If you ever decide to invade Russia, for the love of God, bring some warm clothes. We don't want you to blame the "evil Russian winter" when you get crushed, like everyone else who tried.



For years, people have been yelling to the Devs: "Put Topols in the next release, please, PLEASE, PLEEEEEEEEEEASE!" And there you have it. Now, people are asking why is it there. Would you like it to be removed? Just play the game, for the love of God. Yes, it's an ICBM. Yes, it should fire anywhere on the map. No, it should not be purchaseable, but just the cooldown. But, as stated gazilion times, it's not a real life. It's game, man. It would be ridiculously game breaking if topol isn't limited in the way it is. And it's fucking awesome even with all of it. Since I always play Russia, I always use them. What other weapon has greater range?

It's there to make ECA players cry. And If you use it, they'll say you won the game because you used a broken thing Noob.

I don't think I missed anything.

Because you don't need topols to win, it's just an over-kill addition that will be abit balanced in 2.0 hopefully.
And this have been stated over and over not just by me, but by other higher skilled players including the beta testers.

More like, it's there because most of the playerbase who don't know how to play Russia properly kept whining and bitching on how ECA is hard to crack when it's supposed to be the faction's strength AND Russia didn't have a "click me, point a target for BOOM" solution for ECA turtling when you're suppose to use the faction's main strength: bruteforce.

Basically this.
I feel I should also add that the topol isn't really good vs other factions and this makes it super situational and unnessesary.
You can read my proper rant in the other "pls no topol" thread.

That said, I don't want them removed from the game, just resigned so that they may be more useful and less of a lazy crutch for players to lean on.

I think they're just fun. Plus, it's an iconic Russian weapon. What modern Russian army wouldn't have them (besides in Red Alert)?

Armageddon is here..............



Quit PvP for a while and play a skirmish against 2 Brutal AI.

Have fun seeing nukes flying left and right.

When 2.0 come, it won't be the the thing you should fear.

You know what? I'm tired of seeing this shit again and again. Please, somebody put it in the FAQ so people can stop bitching about this.

To be honest, I don't think this is a very relevant point since 2.0 is years away.

And I agree with Rik. The Topols, as they stand right now, are way too imbalanced (not overpowered, imbalanced) and should be reworked.

A thing that you should fear more in 2.0 is the replacement for the kodiak tank in Aleksanders army and those Railguns will sure beat assess

God, I didnt start this thread to complain about topols. The reason was the fact the unit is completely unnecessery for this faction. And I already got the answer why. . .

End of discussion
