    Redbull Wololo is over and what a fantastic event that was. We got to experience some incredibly impressive performances from everyone in a brand new game mode - an absolutely wild and, dare I say, unexpected grand final. Fortunately for all of us, Battle of Africa 2 is just around the corner, so you won't have to wait long to get your next high-level gameplay fix. With Hera and Liereyy playing for Aftermath, TheViper playing for Team Secret and the incredible Mr_Yo playing for the new YinYang team, I think it's safe to say that we will get to experience a lot more amazing games very soon. With the expanded qualifiers, the timeframe is looking slightly different, essentially adding another week of great content to the event.

    The stats need "Villagers Killed" count

    Posted: 16 May 2020 06:45 AM PDT

    This is much more important than a lot of the numerous stats in the score screen.

    Am I the only one who thinks the Definitive Edition devs missed an opportunity by not redoing the original Age of Kings intro?

    Impressively balanced & fair Oasis map generation in 4v4 team games. This map-pool is sooo incredibly bad

    Posted: 16 May 2020 06:51 AM PDT

    The buildings graphics on uneven terrain is a low elo trap. I thought I had walled my base only to find out the hard way that there's a gap between these two archery ranges.

    Arena map generation has changed since last patch for the worse.

    Cool Cheat Code Idea: Unnerfing Civs

    Posted: 16 May 2020 06:32 AM PDT

    Basically you type in this cheat code, and it brings your civ to the height of its powers. Like if you're aztecs you get free loom, huns get back super cheap cav archers, malians get halbs and free second gold mining tech, bulgarians get paladins again, and teutons get back their DEATH STAR TCs. In short, remove all the nerfs, leave the buffs as is.

    Take Mongols for example. If you haven't noticed, they've been slowly nerfed since the original AoK. With this cheat code, you get back:

    • elite cannon galleon
    • mangudai faster firing rate, increased base accuracy, faster moving, faster trained
    • arrowslits
    • back to 50% faster hunt

    And best of all, you still get steppe lancers (and they're unnerfed too!)

    Battle of Africa - We start qualification Stage!!! Some Surprises!!! LETS GO!!!

    Posted: 16 May 2020 01:15 AM PDT

    While being a decent player early game, I simply do not have the multitask and the mental organization skills to play after castle age. Does anyone have any tips, videos or resources on how to keep everything under control when the game complexity ramps up exponentially after 20 min or so?

    Posted: 16 May 2020 07:53 AM PDT

    Its 25 minutes or so in the game, I have 50 gold and 5000 food, not enough houses, base under attack, monk in buttfuck nowhere holding a relic, 15 idle villagers, town center idle, while I was trying to micro some troops in a attack.

    How you guys manage to keep everything under control past castle age? Do you guys have a mental checklist that you run each 5 min or so? Is there any resources that focus on tips to keep the late game organized?

    I organized a free for all for ultra noobs players and it got spoiled by a pro player

    Posted: 15 May 2020 08:47 PM PDT

    I suck at aoe2 and organized a free for all for Ultra noobs since it's my favorite game mode. 7 players joined. We started the game and after 15 minutes one of them had destroyed 4 players. He swiped the rest of us pretty quickly after that. How can I prevent this? I tried to watch the ranking stats at the beginning but half of them there was no info at all. Also can I block him? Anyway, some of us were very upset and I don't want that situation to happen again.

    Also if you are very good, it might be funny to you but it's just very annoying for us noobs.

    Are sheep spawn on Arabia too far from the town center?

    Posted: 16 May 2020 07:36 AM PDT

    Are sheep spawn on Arabia too far from the town center?

    In the screenshot I attached, you can see a recent game against the AI. With the camera completely zoomed out, 4 sheep (marked in purple circles on the minimap) are still a full screen away from my TC.

    Are sheep spawns on Arabia further in DE than they were in HD/ Voobly? I remember that the dev team changed Arabia so that the initial 4 sheep spawn more reliable to the TC, but I dont remember the extra sheep ever being this far. So often in games, I can't find my other sheep - even when I scout with the initial ones.

    Multiplayer lobby bugging out all the time

    Posted: 16 May 2020 03:55 AM PDT

    Trying to play 3v3s or 4v4s, there always a ton of issues. Invites not going out, queue timers staying at 00:00:00, games crashing when a match is found, suddenly everything becoming un-clickable.

    Castle age attacks and tc's

    Posted: 16 May 2020 02:08 AM PDT

    When you're investing in a strong attack in the early Castle Age and you're doing good damage but not enough to defeat him under what circumstances you choose to keep going all in or keep some pressure but still build 1 or 2 TC to keep economy strong?

    The basic rule says to keep going if you're winning but sometimes you don't know who's really ahead.

    Noob question

    Posted: 16 May 2020 05:52 AM PDT

    Under TC, I saw people force drop food so quickly, vil just stand up and then get back to work in the same place. I right click TC to garrison then hotkey return vil to work but vil have to walk then find their place. How to force drop food efficiently without vil walking? Thanks

    How did you improve with Age?

    Posted: 15 May 2020 11:40 PM PDT

    I wanna hear your stories (and maybe copy a training strat or two) about how you got better at Age of Empires!

    Personally, I find training with higher ELO players is really beneficial because you're able to pick up on their strats super duper quick, and be able to tweak them to fit your playing style.

    New player question

    Posted: 16 May 2020 08:14 AM PDT

    Hi guys,

    I've just purchased the AOE definative edition / HD edition bundle on steam. This will be my first time playing since probably 2003 or so. I have a couple of questions I was hoping someone could answer.

    - Which version of the game should I play & are they both comparable in multiplayer?

    - What's the best way to learn the game? Should I play AI or just jump into multi and fight others?
