    Action needs to be taken against people who leave ranked team games early.

    Posted: 25 Dec 2019 06:36 AM PST

    Seriously half of the team games I play in ranked teams have someone leave within 15 minutes wasting everyones time.

    Aita for picking Aztecs on arena

    Posted: 24 Dec 2019 06:18 PM PST

    I'm not great at the game (1050)but I'm really working on getting better. I love watching it and now that I'm out of school I can finally play a lot. I load into a ranked game and get arena. I know it's common to see a monk and siege rush so, I thought I would give it a go.

    I "fast castle" if you can even call it that and get a 18 minute castle time. Not good by any means but, considering I didn't know an exact build order I was happy. My opponent congratulated me on the time. So I'm now thinking, wow this guy is friendly, hopefully it's a good game. I place a forward church and workshop and stop my opponents Mayan castle. That's when the trash talk begins.

    He calls me trash, and cheap for using such an "easy" and "no skill strategy". I tell him it's a perfectly meta play but, he is firm on his position claiming; I'm trash and never gonna get good for a good 5 minutes.

    Am I the asshole for using a monk, siege rush at such a low level(1050)?

    How do you feel about militia line?

    Posted: 24 Dec 2019 03:27 PM PST

    I'm still wondering if they're too weak after the addition of supplies, especially compared to knights. Ie, they seem about the same combat strength, but lose the ability to raid, engage only when convenient, travel long distances etc that knights have. Their perks appear to be not having the pikemen vulnerability, and stronger attack vs buildings.

    Perhaps the fix is to make them upgrade for free. It's disheartening when an enemy reaches castle before you, immediately cues knights, which can not only raid, take little damage from TCs, but slaughter men-at-arms. It takes 2 upgrades to reach longswordsmen, while knights are immediately available, and are superior in most cases.

    What do Teutons Need?

    Posted: 25 Dec 2019 08:06 AM PST

    I will be first to say im not that great at the game and am still at the level where civ doesnt matter nearly as much as being better at the basics. But i tend to see people saying Teutons are near the bottom of the barrel as a civ pick, which has me curious as to why they are considered bad. I always thought their farm bonus made up for some tech tree deficiencies (outside of a super situational unique unit). So what do you think they are too weak at and what needs to be done for them to be a more balanced civ?

    I keep drawing with Moderate AI

    Posted: 24 Dec 2019 09:45 PM PST

    Hello, I am new to aoe2 and got the DE version. So far, I love playing as the Chinese and just for a bit of role-playing, I am trying to beat the Korean Moderate AI on the continental map. Shockingly, they do not use their navy against me. However, their special unit is like a complete counter against mine since they have extra defense against archers. I would play a game that lasts longer than 2 hours and it gets to the point that I just resign since it takes too long. They create too many castles for me to raid effectively and I have a strong defense against them as well. It is like a game of tennis where I will go to their side, run out of troops and they will come to my side and run out of troops. We both run out of gold mines and rely on exchanging wood for gold and the relics. Is there any advice on improving? I know rushing them early on but that is not my play style and I like to be developed before attacking.

    Countering archer rush counters

    Posted: 25 Dec 2019 06:42 AM PST

    I'm working on getting a decent archer rush against the ai but it's really hit and miss. Even when I get my first archery range near the enemy at 12.30 and first 6 archers by 15.30 it usually works but often it feels too late and the ai just churn out constant skirms at me. I've seen spirit of the law do archer rush versus three hardest ai and beats them easily, he even says those times are fine (his guidelines are first range up by 12 minutes, 6 archers by 16 minutes).

    • How do I counter ai going skirms against my archer rush? Since I have ranges up I normally switch to skirms too but it still totally knocks the wind out of my rush.
    • What are good times to aim at for each of the milestones involved in an archer rush?
    • Finally, and absolutely no disrepect to spirit here, but is it just me or is he kind of lucky in his videos against hardest ai? Not to say he isn't skilled but in my experience the ai is only as docile as the ones he gets about half the time. They barely attack him at all in his 1v3! Even the second ai he hits in Castle age!

    Question for a beginner

    Posted: 24 Dec 2019 02:24 PM PST

    Which civs would you recommend for a beginning player? A friend of mine just got the game and I think maybe byzantines would be a good start for the cheap imp and trash units. What other civs might be good?
