    COVID-19 hits the game on a personal level. Voice actor Rick May (narrator of the Genghis Khan campaign) has passed away. :(

    Red Bull running an empire wars tournament called wololo!

    Posted: 14 Apr 2020 06:32 AM PDT

    How and why does the AI castle age so fast? I beat the AI every time because a stronger economy but don't understand the strategy. Years ago I played online and repetitively got my ass handed to me by knight rush.

    How do I add someone from last game played?

    Posted: 14 Apr 2020 06:40 AM PDT

    I just played a game on Steam, with someone I'd like to have a chat with, or to play future games with. So far I have not found any way to communicate with that player. Am I missing something? How do I view previous players or contacts?

    Does everyone else ban arabia

    Posted: 14 Apr 2020 07:03 AM PDT

    ... or is the map picking algorithm not random ?

    Out of the 50 last ranked games I played (I always ban the same maps):

    hidout 4

    arabia 7

    arena 8

    four lakes 12

    acropolis 19

    To think that I once thought acropolis was a fun map to play...
    Does anyone have insights on how map picking works ? Can I find statistics somewhere on the most frequent map bans ?

    Cuman Double Douche FT. Slam Boi

    New site: AgeOfInfo - quickly compare units, view civ/tech info. Made for people who like to watch Age of Empires multiplayer streams. (link in description)

    Posted: 13 Apr 2020 03:46 PM PDT

    THIS IS CURRENTLY A FREELY HOSTED HEROKU APP WHICH MEANS THE SITE GOES INTO STANDBY MODE WHEN IT ISN'T VISITED FOR A WHILE, IT CAN TAKE 15-20 SECONDS TO LOAD FOR THE FIRST TIME.

    Site URL (made for Desktop but usable on mobile): https://ageofinfo.herokuapp.com/

    What:

    • View & compare unit stats/costs. Visual display with icons.
    • View unique civ data: icons, unique units/buildings, civ bonuses.
    • View technologies, their costs & what they do.

    Why:

    • I was watching a lot of AoE2:DE 1v1 streams on twitch and I wanted more context on what the hell was going on.
    • I had no idea why they would pick certain civs on certain maps etc.
    • I had no idea what certain technologies did.

    Notes:

    • The last time the game data was updated can be found in the bottom left of the footer.
    • I used AdvancedGenieEditor3.exe (included with DE) to mine stats for a lot of units (I wish Age of Empires had an API you could hit for the game data so that it automatically stayed updated) so I'm bound to have made errors.
    • If you see incorrect data & would like to help correct it, please send me a private message.
    • If you encounter a crash and want the site to suck less, please send me a private message with the circumstances.
    • If people actually use it then I'll upgrade the server so it doesn't go into standby mode.

    Game desyncing?

    Posted: 14 Apr 2020 07:33 AM PDT

    As title says, is anyone else having huge desyncs from games when playing?

    I thought it would be a ping issue but my ping is 81 which is pretty standard but this stops all my inputs from working.

    Any help?

    Burmese Champion + Arambai

    Posted: 13 Apr 2020 10:58 PM PDT

    I've recently gotten back into AOE2 and I'm in love with Burmese due to their economy bonuses and strong infantry.

    I've found that Champions combined with Arambai have given my opponents fits and thought it was interesting as I've not seen the combo mentioned alot. Burmese Champions are excellent on their own, but with Arambai behind them, they seem unstoppable.

    The closest anyone has gotten countering are Britons with their bows massed. Even then the Champions were able to get close enough to allow the Arambai to get in range and force a retreat. Mass producing Champions was necessary but at less cost than the bows.

    Curious if anyone has played with this combo or suggestions how it might be countered? Having a lot of fun with this one.
