    Got thrashed in a 1v1 online in DE. Was fun.

    Posted: 25 Jan 2020 06:04 AM PST

    I just joined a random 1v1 server. Coming off the back of a decent ranked game win I thought. Only to be paired against someone much higher skill than me. Right from the start I was basically pressured in my base, scouts gone.

    When all of a sudden he attacks, with about 30 scorpions. Tried to rush up some siege workshops. By then the damage was done.

    I should have resigned then. But I was determined to clear out the scorpions at the very least. By the time I did that. Yep massive army of the Bulgarians special units. Cleaned my little army of xbows up. GG.

    Tldr. Got thrashed by scorpions. Had a blast. Let's keep the games going.

    Visual Build Order Cheatsheet - Drush Fast Castle

    I'm a newb and I'm super proud because I got in a game with T90 (famous caster, top 100 player) where Exploding Villagers were enabled... hilarity ensued.

    This game is unique: it makes me angry

    Posted: 25 Jan 2020 07:15 AM PST

    I wonder if this game became unique for someone else for it sheer potential to enrage the player. Let me explain.

    Actually your humble servant is quite calm man. I never cared much about losing: whatever, i'll get you next time, mate, no hard feelings! There are players better than me, so what? And even they taste defeat from time to time. It's nothing but natural.

    But sutuation is opposite if i'm playing AoE, and _only_ random maps (that's why i'm mostly a scenario player; shame that scenario community is like 50 players total, and most of players here really belive that Romans and Barbarians and GoT are top AoE scen; they have never tried Corruption of the Realms or Wizards and Demons diplomacy). Losing making me call my opponent all kinds of words, spread lies about them, to the point of online stalking and/or desynching should i lose, because opponent is "undeserving" (if he uses an unusual strategy, then he plays "wrong and has to learn how to play properly", if he uses standart one, then "it's boring and has no creativity"). Don't forget that i'm graceful loser in general, it's only AoE standart games that make me mad.

    I'd like to actually get better, and i really like refined simplicity of AoE, but negative emotions are too hard to bear, and no matter what i will taste defeat from time to time. Also, with time whole build order thing started to bother me; why i have to follow roughly same actions every time? It's so boring and automatical! But perhaps it's just escalating hatred to random maps.

    Someone else feels like this game has unparalleled potential in causing sheer RAGE (not sure if this sentence praising or blaming the game)?

    Stealing Sheep: Your Thoughts

    Posted: 25 Jan 2020 04:10 AM PST

    What are your thoughts on stealing sheep/laming? Is it a sporting thing to do? Do you actively try to do it? Do you mind when it's done to you?

    Why don't tatars get halberdiers?

    Posted: 25 Jan 2020 08:35 AM PST

    Any reasoning as to why?

    Sure Burmese don't have +2 armour but they get elite skirmisher,

    malay don't have +2 armour but get amazing godless 2h and cheaper battle eles

    but tatars missing halbs really hurts, I think they should at least get halb even if no +2 armour. They struggle alot vs camel civs like Indians since their monks are way below average and they dont get arbalest.

    thoughts?

    Anyone encountered a hack or bug with Burmese Arambai?

    Posted: 25 Jan 2020 01:04 AM PST

    Just played a 2v2 where the enemy built ~40 Elite Arambai, came to my base, wiped out my army that was similar size to his and then destroyed my 2 castles and 5 barracks in about 20 seconds. He then proceeded to my teammates base and leveled his entire city with JUST Arambai, no siege, in about a minute. I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw my castle collapse so quickly after he attacked it. It said they had 19 attack but it had to be more like 100. Has anyone else encountered this? Is it a bug or some kind of cheat?

    Would it be possible to code map wraparound into aoe2?

    Posted: 24 Jan 2020 10:26 AM PST

    Y'know, where reaching one side of the map just continues around onto the other side. Just as an option.

    It could make for very interesting changes, because no longer would you be limited into 'pocket' or 'flank', instead with much greater variety in direction of attack.

    Here's a basic layout of possible venues of attack in a standard game, but here's what you could do if the map wrapped around.

    It wouldn't be something I'd want to do ALL the time, but it could be a fun option occasionally. Especially with the 'world map' style of maps, so you could better emulate a globe.

    1-2 unit focus

    Posted: 24 Jan 2020 02:31 PM PST

    I am not New to aoe2 but I have never exceled at it. I tend to use civs which have a heavy focus on 1 unit type like mayans, goths, magyars, etc. Since its difficult for me to effectively create a variety of units to counter my enemy's. Is it possible to excel at heavy focusing on 1 or 2 different units and still win consistently? The pro in my mind for going for this strat is saving resources on buildings, techs and units that you wont use at all. Best civs for a strat of this kind?

    Units stopping more often?

    Posted: 24 Jan 2020 03:23 PM PST

    Is it just me, or does units end up stopping and going idle more often since the last patch when telling them to go somewhere? I swear it's worse than before. I keep finding units behind all the others because I think they walked into other units, and couldn't get past, and just gave up or something. Getting a bit bored having to look back to find 10+ units standing there not doing what I told them.
