    Looking for someone to play with

    Posted: 21 Oct 2019 07:15 AM PDT

    Hi, I have just started playing aoe 2 the past few months and I really love it. I know how to do a basic build order and some easy micro, but I want to imorove. And you can only get so far playing against an AI so i tried to play with some people. None of my pals are intressed in the game.

    Tried looking in the lobby browser for someone to play with, and most of them were ranked or had some more advanced settings.

    Where can I find people to play casually with? Or better yet, does anyone wanna play?

    I live in northern europe.

    A major cosmetic and immersive change

    Posted: 21 Oct 2019 05:15 AM PDT

    I'm sure this has been posted before but the only thing I really want in de is a button in the main menu to switch all unit skins to something more culturally appropriate. I would like it as a toggle switch so that it wont be permanent so that it wont mess up competitive play or if people dont like the new change. I exclusively play non competitive but I can see how a bunch of different looking units can mess up counter timing and such. I just dont want to see European soldiers as the Aztecs or the Chinese in regular games. It takes me out of the immersion. And when people play with all techs on maybe they could make a calvary skin for the american Civs. I wouldn't care if the new skins take huge liberties with historical accuracy. I would pay real money for this to happen. I played around with a few mods but I was left disappointed with the results.

    Thoughts?

    I've been having way too much fun with the tech multiplier mods.

    Posted: 21 Oct 2019 01:00 AM PDT

    Recently this video was released and it got me back into AOE2.

    Now i've been playing far to much with the 256x mod and the slightly more balanced 3x mod. Too bad the AI doesnt know about the extra techs.

    I also reached 100 hours on steam!

    Yet another getting into AoE2 question

    Posted: 21 Oct 2019 02:39 AM PDT

    Sc2 player here (Plat/Dia). I would like to start playing AoE2 on Steam when DE comes out in november.

    I only play 1v1 and I wan't to rely entirely on the matchmaking system (ranked play). I don't like to play team games or "custom" games with specific people.

    What do you think (or know), will there be enough low level players that playing ranked makes sense for a newb who wants to improve?

    I don't mind losing a lot at first as long as I play somewhat fair games, from which I can learn.
    What I do mind though is getting continuously hopelessly owned by smurfs or getting matched against way better players because of a too small player base.

    New to aoe, got the limited edition disks.

    Posted: 20 Oct 2019 10:55 PM PDT

    1. Gold Edition, 2. The Age of Kings, 3. Conquerors Expansion. Does it matter which one I start with?

    Game crashing question-

    Posted: 20 Oct 2019 05:29 PM PDT

    Yesterday I played a 3 player match through steam. My son and I were playing on two seperate pc's and my cousin was the 3rd player playing at his house. My son and I both have the expansions but my cousin does not. About 2 hours in the game crashes simultaneously for all three of us. Was this just bad luck? I'm hesitant to play again if it's a recurring thing...

    Help running aoe2 on mac with PlayOnMac

    Posted: 20 Oct 2019 02:42 PM PDT

    Can't seem to get aoe2 working on my mac. I have tried to download playonmac but it won't open, following warnings about it being from an unidentified developer. Even if I change my settings to allow it to open, it just won't.

    Please help!

    Questions for people who enjoy Spirit of the Law's "Romans vs Barbarians" custom game

    Posted: 20 Oct 2019 10:44 AM PDT

    I don't like playing computers game anymore and I have some finger/hand issues, but I do like Spirit of the Law's video on his Romans vs Barbarians maps https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o35ceXEvV5Q And I like Roman history in general and think that Aoe2 is a great platform for it.

    I also like videos where he narrates over what happened in a custom map be played.

    1. What were some of your favorite games in the Romans vs Barbarians map, and what happened?
    2. For the remastered version of Aoe2 coming out, what changes to the map do you think he should make to take advantage of the visuals? I think Rome and Constantinople could be made to look alot more Roman and beautiful, though maybe they can already be made that way now with the right mods/assets.
    3. Could you post some of your games from this map?

    I know most DM matches are mirrors, but is there a 1v1 DM tierlist?

    What to do when you commited to a strategy but the fully walled?

    Posted: 20 Oct 2019 02:23 PM PDT

    I've actually had this happen to me a lot recently and am not sure how to respond. For example, I will open with something like m@arms into archers but when my m@arms get to his base he is full walled. At this point do I ditch archers and go towers? Or should I just try to go castle age? In theory I feel like archers and m@arms should beat palisade walls but even with fletching my archers can never fully kill their villagers that build behind the walls. If anyone can help me out it would be very much appreciated: )

    Siege Towers...

    Posted: 20 Oct 2019 04:31 PM PDT

    Any use for them? Wonder why the devs haven't removed this unit that according to the community is never used. Have any of you used it to any effect?

    Scroll to next control group

    Posted: 20 Oct 2019 02:17 PM PDT

    Age of empires 2 was created in a time when no one even heard of a scroll wheel. Nowadays everyone has oneand uses it in most games. For AOE2 DE it would be very convient to have the scroll wheel go to your next control group. Will the scroll wheel get a use in AOE2 DE?

    How do I deal with onagers in games with high ping?

    Posted: 20 Oct 2019 09:48 AM PDT

    I feel like in any games with 100+ ping I cant dodge, and just have to eat the losses trying to focus them down while my army gets wrecked. Anybody know how to deal with SO when you cant dodge?
