    It was quite a challenge on hardest difficulty! :D

    Just started playing ranked, wish I started so much sooner!

    Posted: 29 Mar 2020 07:04 AM PDT

    I avoided ranked for so long because I worried that I wasn't good enough, but I bit the bullet with all this extra time at home and I'm having such a good time. My first few games I came across some people who were way better than me but I think I've settled at the right level now. It's so much better than joining random "Noob only pls" games in the lobby browser. I even got some friends into it and they agree, so much more fun this way.

    To anyone who was like me and wanted to play ranked but was too nervous, just give it a go, it's made the game much more enjoyable for me.

    Can we please get a fix for the problem of lobbies not showing up in the lobby browser?

    Posted: 29 Mar 2020 06:40 AM PDT

    I can't think of a more discouraging thing for a new player coming to the game, making a lobby, and then seeing none join for 10minutes+- They must think this is a completely dead game. In reality, oftentimes when you make a lobby, it doesn't show up in the server list on the lobby browser.

    How can this problem not be fixed over 4 months in? Can we at least have some communication regarding this matter?

    Steppe Lancers Fix Discussion

    Posted: 29 Mar 2020 06:53 AM PDT

    Heard that the upcoming patch will address steppe lancers, so how do you think steppe lancers should be fixed?

    I've seen and thought of a few options and have not really taken a position on any of them, but fruit for thought I guess.

    1. Get rid of knights for steppe lancers civs and make steppe lancers more like a replacement for knights.

    2. Balance around the steppe lancers (I.e. change other units for steppe lancers civs) so that it's more appealing to go for steppe lancers.

    3. Keep steppe lancers the way they are, as they are supposed to be a niche unit.

    4. Buff the steppe lancer generally so that they are more viable again. There are, of course, many ways to do this.

    5. Completely rework the steppe lancers, maybe remove the plus 1 range or something and give them some other way to be unique like eagles and battle elephants.

    6. Not as related, but are there any other civs that should get steppe lancers?

    Where do you stand? Other options are definitely welcomed; these are just some possibilities that i brainstormed.

    Hey there, new player here

    Posted: 29 Mar 2020 07:53 AM PDT

    Hey guys, so my friends have invited me to play this game, I have some experience with rts but never really got into the aoe train.

    What´s a good to learn but viable faction? Any tips/build orders for it? Are all the factions balanced? Anything you think I should know before actually start playing the game (cmon throw some aoe memes at me)?

    This is probably posted throughout several posts so just trying to creat a post with all the info.

    Hope you can help me, thanks!!

    is there no patch this month ?

    We want to play Def. ed. MP but it's buggy/laggy as hell on Xbox / will switch to Steam help?

    Posted: 29 Mar 2020 03:03 AM PDT

    Hi! We took up Definitive edition from Xbox Game Pass but it's frustraing. Poor connection, invitation problems, also game randomly crashes and disconnects during games, laggy. On Steam, we play HD edition with no problems whatsoever (only ocassion lags), but you know, I'd love to build kreposts. So: will buying Steam ed help us or not in this regard? What's the latest experience? Thanks!

    Are Portuguese really good in post-imp?

    Posted: 29 Mar 2020 01:58 AM PDT

    I have heard it many times: portuguese are supposedly good in the late imperial ages.

    But are they really that good in post-imp teamgames on land?

    I would appreciate if anybody could tell me what i am doing wrong, because i havent had any succes with them in trash wars nor, deathmatches or generally boom games until imp.

    Civs with powerunits like Siege Ram, Siege Oanger, Paladins or Elefants crush me everytime.

    DE Archer Micro by SpringTV

    Could someone explain Barbarian AI to me?

    Posted: 29 Mar 2020 08:13 AM PDT

    Hi,

    I recently started playing AoE2 Userpatch 1.5 + Forgotten Empires Free Patch. I would like to understand the underlying configuration / game play mechanics for Barbarian AI under Moderate, Hard, Hardest.

    For example: what are the caps on each difficulty level and how does Hardest cheat?

    Need a pro for a prank

    Posted: 28 Mar 2020 01:03 PM PDT

    Hi! Because of the being quarenteed my friends have been playing a lot of AOE2 on voobly.

    I haven't played with them yet but I think it would be hilarious if I got some who plays a lot of age to prank them - I'll pretend to be playing and talk smack - while the pro puts the SmackDown on them.

    Anyone interested?

    estimated feudal attack and defend timing

    Posted: 28 Mar 2020 07:36 PM PDT

    These times are estimates only looking at a couple of games. So, they might be a bit off. "Defend" time is of first unit out (which is reasonable for archer against men-at-arms, not so much for archer against scouts). Attack arrives is when in enemy base, in reasonable numbers (3 scouts or 3 men-at-arms or 6 archers). Obviously time of attack varies with distance to opponent.

    Slightly different build order might shift by 25 seconds if skip loom or add or skip a vill in dark age.

    Strategy defend attack arrives
    Lith insta drush 1:51 4:30
    douch YOLO 8:33
    towers 8:56 8:56
    early drush 7:36 9:35
    drush 7:57 9:57
    men-at-arms 8:05 10:25
    men-at-arms towers 8:45 11:05
    mongol scouts 10:35 11:35
    scouts 11:00 12:00
    tati archer rush 11:11 13:11
    2-range archers 12:10 14:10

    Hopefully the times that I put in aren't too far off.

    Comparing times shows windows of opportunity for unit conflicts (how long you have to do damage before the enemy units are out to defend). Going up a villager early with scouts as mongols probably does well against men-at-arms, which I hadn't really thought about.

    I think it would be interesting to plot military production times with resources committed. I suspect, looking at that type of plot, that men-at-arms would fare poorly against a douche (because of the early resources committed to a barracks).

    What do people think of the remastered music in DE?

    Posted: 28 Mar 2020 07:58 PM PDT

    I've been a huge fan of the music in the Age series, and one of the many, many reasons I was so excited for DE was to listen to the updated soundtrack. But honestly, it never really grabbed my attention in DE. Now I'm no music critic, and there's a solid chance I'm just being blinded by nostalgia here. But what do other people think? Is the music in DE any good? Is it better or worse than the original? Have you even noticed that it changed? For players that started with DE, what do you think of the music in general?

    Pacific Islands but with More Islands?

    Posted: 29 Mar 2020 05:30 AM PDT

    Hi, Just got this game the other day and I'm having a great time so far on the default island map that comes with the game. But I'm wondering if there is an islands map that has multiple, smaller islands with scattered resources? I tried the pacific islands map but it's not really what I want (that map feels like migration). I'm looking for a map that captures that chaotic feel of constantly moving to the next small island in search of resources. Any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks!!

    Fix for invisible lobby

    Posted: 28 Mar 2020 04:26 PM PDT

    You know how right now lobbies are often invisible? have a friend join them, leave, join again, leave and join again. sometimes one "round" of rejoining works, but 2 times guaranteed. sounds stupid, but works incredibly well :D have fun with instantly filled lobbies ;)
