    Interactive Build Order Guide

    Posted: 17 Dec 2019 07:53 PM PST

    Its finally here...

    Interactive Build Order Guide

    Improvements in the DE version:

    • Objectives/instructions now all display in the panel at the top right
    • Instructions display in the middle of the screen for better visibility
    • Grades appear in the middle of the screen, and will also display in the objectives menu to refer back to
    • Added house instructions until end of Dark age
    • Improvements to some build orders- especially the men-at-arms build order
    • Some changes to the difficulty - lower grades are easier; hardest grade is even harder

    … and most importantly actual human voice work! - credits and thanks to ZeroEmpires

    These were a ton of work - a lot more complex to make then the old version. Let me know if you find any bugs.

    Campaign Gold Medal Bug/Cheese?

    Posted: 18 Dec 2019 06:15 AM PST

    So with the new update fixing some of those cheeky campaign achievements, I loaded one of my old saves 'Into China' to get the previously bugged achievement. This old save was on moderate difficulty, however when I completed the mission, I saw I was awarded a gold medal.

    I then realised that it was because the difficulty I set in the campaign menu was on Hard. I tested this on a William Wallace mission, I set the difficulty to Standard and made a save, then returned to the campaign menu and put the difficulty back to Hard and reloaded my Standard William Wallace mission.

    After marching those troops I was awarded with another gold medal despite only being a bronze tier effort. So the medals are tied to the campaign menu difficulty, not the specific game difficulty. So in theory you can go through and make individual saves of all the missions on Standard, then return to the campaign menu and set the difficulty on Hard and acquire gold medals.

    This also works in reverse I believe, I loaded a Sundjata mission on Hard, with the difficulty on Standard on the menu and still got a bronze.

    So for those of you who've already gone through the campaigns on Hard before the patch hit, this is a bit of a cheesy method to get gold medals you've technically already earned a little bit easier.

    Arbalesters & Heavy Cavalry Archers - Frame Delay

    Posted: 18 Dec 2019 03:08 AM PST

    I was browsing through the DE data files using the Advanced Genie Editor provided in the game files. I was initially comparing the Kipchak's now nerfed stats with other Cavalry Archer type units, when I noticed something weird. Arbalesters and Heavy Cavalry Archers have a higher Frame Delay than their previous/unupgraded forms.

    Archers and Crossbowmen have a FD of 15, while Arbalesters have a FD of 20. In HD all of these units had a FD of 5. Cavalry Archers have a FD of 35 but Heavy Cavalry Archers have a FD of 46! Both units had a FD of 10 in HD. This makes both upgraded units worse at kiting than their previous forms.

    Other than that, three units got stealth buffs -

    • Heavy Scorpions have a Frame Delay of 26 compared to base Scorpion's 42. It used to be 7 for both in HD.
    • Longbowmen have a FD of 10 compared to 15 for regular Archers. Both unit types had a FD of 5 in HD.
    • Camel Archers have a FD of 15 compared to 23 for Mangudais. It used to be 5 for both in HD.

    Two units got stealth nerfed -

    • Chu Ko Nus have a Frame Delay of 19 compared to generic Archer-line's 15. In HD they had a lower FD of 3 compared to 5 for the regular Archers.
    • Rattan Archers have a FD of 23 in comparison to the Archer-line's 15. In HD both units had a FD of 5.

    Two questions??

    Posted: 18 Dec 2019 07:22 AM PST

    Love the game but:

    1.How can i set up a match Ai vs Ai. I tried but it seems that player 1 always is human player?? 2. How can i see the window with current civ characteristics in game? Not the whole technology tree. I saw this in a gaming video but cant find the right hotkey or command.

    Hope you understand my Swenglish. :) Thanks in advance.

    AoE2 DE unplayable on windows 7 due to crash after patch

    Posted: 18 Dec 2019 12:00 AM PST

    Hoping to get this some visibility so it is fixed sooner. The crash has been reported by many users now. As far as I can tell anyone playing on windows 7 will instantly crash as soon as they load into a game. This is new as of 12/17 patch.

    One user theorized this was due to something related to loading textures or models because the game also crashes when attempting to load a unit model in scenario editor. When loading into a game the loading screen finishes and the first second of audio plays, but no visual frames are displayed before a "aoe2 de has stopped working" message appears. This happens every game in single player, multiplayer, campaign, etc.

    Yes I'm aware windows 10 is recommended. But the game worked just fine on 7 until this last patch. Surely it should be possible to revert the culprit chance and allow us to play the game we bought again.

    Aoe2 DE : Where to find Pro players replays ?

    Posted: 18 Dec 2019 01:51 AM PST

    Good morning, everyone,

    I'm looking for a site or a discord gathering pro players replays on Aoe2 DE to improve myself.

    edit : I was talking about IN GAME replay.

    Thank you and have a good day.

    Friendly
