    Compact Tech Tree for lazy people

    Posted: 01 Oct 2019 04:30 AM PDT

    I had always trouble looking up info from tech tree as it is displayed in most places (large images). So I did this mainly as a gift to myself. I hope some other people might find it useful as well. It shows only how is the civ tech tree different from the general one - which saves space. If you see any mistakes please let me know.

    DE should remove unit selection limit

    Posted: 30 Sep 2019 09:38 PM PDT

    Unit selection limit is currently 40 in AOC and 60 in HD/DE. This is very restrictive when trying to manage large armies. Selection limit of 40 was appropriate in AOK, when population limit was 75, so could select more than half of population, which was likely enough for whole army.

    Now when people can play with 500 population, which might mean army of 250 units, it is annoying to try to manage it in groups of 60 units. It is unnecessary hassle, which reduces fun in game. It is much harder to move army as several groups compared to one group.

    People shouldn't be forced to manage their armies in groups, when it is not appropriate. Let them manage their armies in as big group(s) as they want and micromanage in smaller groups when it is more efficient.

    Removing unit selection limit would really be a massive QOL change for DE, which would be welcomed by a lot of people :)

    6th Grade teacher here, I want to get AOE2 for all of my students.

    Posted: 30 Sep 2019 02:37 PM PDT

    Hello! Long time lurker here. AOE2 was one of my very first video games and I racked up hundreds of hours of it as a kid. It helped me through a lot of history classes, but mostly it taught me critical and strategic thinking skills as well as planning for the future. I want my kids to have the same thing.

    I have an opportunity to start my own gaming club next semester for at max 30 students. They all have 1 to 1 chrome books and other than seeing if AOE2 is playable on their laptops, I need to come up with a curriculum of sorts. 1 hour a day, 2 days a week. Tutorial, Campaign, PvP, ect.

    I think this would be an incredible opportunity for them and the school. At this point, I'm mostly just doing a big shout out and would love to hear any suggestions.

    Beginner coming from SC2

    Posted: 01 Oct 2019 06:00 AM PDT

    Hello!

    I've been playing RTS games, namely starcraft 2, for years and loving them. I've been invited to play AoE2 with some guys from work so I've got the remastered HD currently downloading on Steam.

    I'm sure I'll pick up the timings for rushes, unit comps and such with enough practice, but I wasn't expecting there to be so many races (civs?) to choose from!

    I play mainly Protoss in SC2, for the following reasons:

    • Powerful, slow and expensive units

    • Great static defence

    • Big late game "deathball" potential

    From what I've read so far: Byz, Vikings, Spanish are all top tier. Any advice, resources, or guidance would be great please:)

    Thanks!

    What are the best/optimal strategies for Novus Tower Defence?

    Posted: 01 Oct 2019 09:02 AM PDT

    Novus Tower Defence is a tower defence scenario in Age of Empires II. If you follow this link you can download it via steam.

    I have been playing Novus Tower Defence for a bit with a mate of mine but we have been unable to identify the optimal strategy / civ for the game mode.

    What are your recommendations when playing Novus Tower Defence? As far as I know the Aztecs combined with a lot of purchased relics work out quite good.

    Man at arm + thrush how to deal with it?

    Posted: 30 Sep 2019 05:26 PM PDT

    Hey! I'm a 1850 hd pleb that you can defeat in 10min with some towers. I don't want to be this pleb anymore, that's why I'm looking for answers. :-)

    I recently had a 1v1 Arabia game where I got rekt to a strategy I still don't know how to handle properly. I was Teutons and he was Incas. He stole my boar and went 20 pop up Man-at-Arms + tower rush.

    I have done some research to find the proper way to handle tower rush. What I found out is:
    Scout the enemy a lot. Defensive tower asap and rush his tower down with vills. None of that worked for me that game.

    Since he stole my boar, I pushed in 3 deers to make up for the food loss. This delayed my scouting heavily and I had no idea what he was going to do since I didn't scout his base.

    He walled up his first tower and had Man-at-arm pushing and defending his villagers.

    Even if I put up a defensive tower asap and moved 5 vills to stone, he still had 2-3 towers up before I had the stone to do a second defensive tower. He started to cut off all my resources and I just resigned.

    I watched the replay as usual when I lose, and I still don't know exactly what I should have done differently.

    What would your strategy be when your opponent stole your boar, into man-at-arm+tower rush?
