    I'm a low elo bum but I defended my first tower rush successfully and I'm absolutely ecstatic.

    Posted: 18 Apr 2020 09:26 PM PDT

    Basically the title. Just wanna gloat.

    I always had issues with tower rushes. I usually play fast cav rush into archers or knights depending but I've been hit with fast tower rushes quite a few games now and it never goes well for me. Always me just panicking as my villagers stand around like trees waiting for orders before they get shot.

    Well I did my homework. I saw the 4 villagers with my scout and I knew what was coming....

    I may have gone over kill but I got half my economy off farms haha. Went and bum rushed their villagers. Then built defensive towers. Back to work.

    His economy was shot after that. I didn't realise how much a tower rush cost but if you can make it ineffective you are way ahead it seems. He did get a couple up and I just moved my wood lines. He slapped one next to my gold. So I found other gold. Just made sure his towers didn't affect me.

    Anyway. Yeah fast cav. Pressure economy. Into knights gg. Even sneaked a cheeky villager through for a sneaky stables behind his base during the chaos.

    God damn I love this game. Who'd have thought 20 years later I'd still be playing it! Big boy moment for me haha. Had to share.

    Hello Everyone
    Since DE has now been out for a while now and we can probably all agree that it is very pretty, I am hosting a screenshot competition. The aim is to make beautiful sceneries, landscapes and images with the in-game graphics (scenario editor) and maybe polish them with some editing.

    The Contest has three categories: Atmospheric, Battlefields & Details
    The Deadline is the 17th of May

    All info can be found on AoEZone:

    [Bug?] Unable to make hotkeys that combine special mouse buttons and keyboard keys

    Posted: 19 Apr 2020 02:16 AM PDT

    To improve my efficiency, I'm trying to customize my hotkeys a bit, but there seems to be a bug when it comes to hotkeys that combine mouse buttons and keyboard keys.

    The mouse I'm using is a Corsair Harpoon RGB. Compared to a standard mouse, it has two bonus buttons on the left side, that I will call "Bonus button 1" and "Bonus button 2".

    For instance, I'm able to bind "select all idle villagers" to "Shift + Bonus button 1" in the hotkey editor, but when I'm in game, pressing "Shift + Bonus button 1" won't "select all idle villagers".

    If I bind "select all idle villagers" to "Bonus button 1" only, it does work perfectly.

    And finally, if I bind "select all idle villagers" to "Shift + middle mouse button", it does work.

    So this behaviour seems limited to the bonus buttons that gaming mouses usually have over standard mouses. And it's the same if you replace "select all idle villagers" by another action such as "select all town centers".

    Hope I've been clear in describing my issue, can you guys try and see if you can reproduce my behaviour? Or if there's anything wrong in what I described, please explain it to me? Thanks a lot in advance!

    How to counter this composition

    Posted: 19 Apr 2020 04:50 AM PDT

    So I was playing with Persians and my opponent was Incas in four lakes, I went scout + archers rush in feudal, was doing good damage but he did eagle+archer+spearman and countered me then he sent his units back and I hardly resisted. Then in the castle age he sent eagle+Kamayuk+archer. How should I counter that? Should I have gone militia line plus skirm or just mass archers? or what other options I had

    (Not at all serious) buff idea for two of my favourite things in this game

    Posted: 18 Apr 2020 08:14 PM PDT

    What are those two things you might ask?

    They are the Teutons (Deus Vult you filthy casual) and Siege Towers (more like Teutonic Taxi).

    The buff idea?

    Revert Siege towers to their old arrow firing ways, and allowing Crenellations to apply to siege towers.

    What I imagine you'd end up with is a mobile death tower virtually immune to arrow fire rolling around raining death upon the Saracens while deploying a mass of zealotry in heavy armour with heavier weapons to massacre any infidels who dare attempt to counter Siege towers with cavalry or infantry.

    For even more fun, allow Herbal Medicine to apply to all garrisons and what you'd have is a mobile death tower with Obamacare (though this change wouldn't apply to Teutons only and thus is trash).

    Please leave your thoughts in the comments below.

    So excited to get this, but multiplayer keeps disconnecting. Anyone have clear fixes to disconnections?

    Posted: 19 Apr 2020 07:41 AM PDT

    As per title.

    Sometimes disconnects 5 minutes in, sometimes 20-30 mins in.

    It starts well, no lag, then suddenly disconnects.

    Looking for a Youtube/Twitch replay of a Mongol boom into Mungdai

    Posted: 19 Apr 2020 07:19 AM PDT

    I'm at 1200 elo and no matter how hard I focus my boom with Mongols is always slower than the enemy's Mongol boom. I watch my replays and look at what the opponent is doing but it never usually looks too far off from what I'm doing.

    Making the Jump from Standard to Moderate AI

    Posted: 18 Apr 2020 11:29 PM PDT

    I just got into DE after playing the original AOE2 a lot as a kid, and I am trying to make the jump from beating Standard to Moderate AI in 1v1s. I'm in a weird spot where I cruise through the Standard AI but find it very difficult to keep up with the moderate AI.

    I think my econ is about the same as the AI's (maybe a little slower because I'm still trying to get used to early econ build orders), but whenever I start sending units the AI is already way ahead of me and manages to outmuscle me easily. The AI seems to be really good at producing units early and I don't know how to beat that, especially when I'm practicing early rush strategies.

    What are some things that I can work on to get to a point where I can comfortably play against moderate AI?

    Civilization Tier List for Age of Empires 2 DE

    Posted: 18 Apr 2020 11:48 PM PDT

    I'm sorry if this question is asked every week and everyone here is tired of answering it, but I still want to see yet another of best and worst civilizations in this game, even though many have already said that there is no single best or worst. I will also add that it is exclusively for 1 vs 1 Random Map in DE.

    Is the crossplay working?

    Posted: 19 Apr 2020 05:34 AM PDT

    I have the steam version of the game and my friends would like to buy the Windows 10 version, because it is cheaper, but there are some bad comments about the Crossplay so... is it working?

    How can Tatars counter Eagles?

    Posted: 18 Apr 2020 09:34 PM PDT

    Eagles counter everything Tatars have to offer, and Tatars have the weakest infantry in the game. I love using them but since everybody uses Aztecs, it's no fun.

    I need help with how expansions work

    Posted: 19 Apr 2020 12:33 AM PDT

    Hi

    I wanted to pick back up aoe2 recently but i am a bit confused with how expansions work, i stopped playing at conquerors and I want to mainly play Campains. Ideally, i would like to have the most campain content available from all expansions, while staying with the older looking graphics (the definitive ones, or the newer one, are too much for me (nostalgia reasons)).

    What should i buy? do any expansion include others? can you switch to the old graphics on definitive edition? Can you please help me out with how expansions work in general?

    Thanks
