    AOE Civ Megasheet Update #3

    Posted: 07 Jun 2020 06:05 AM PDT

    Hey people,

    The last update didn't bring much to do for my civ megasheet, but I still needed to update a few things. It should be up to date now. If you haven't seen my sheet before, it's a large overview sheet of all civs, with their tech, unique units and civ bonuses. The way these are presented always leads to fun comments, so please feel free to add your two cents below. There's always room for improvement. A few things I'd like to say to the users and potential users of this thing:

    • Thanks for all your feedback and support. I haven't been able to integrate all your wonderful (and sometimes horrible) ideas, but I still see 10+ people using the thing every night, and I can't even count all of you who made your own copies of the sheet. Glad it's still in use.
    • Please keep giving me suggestions. Formatting and spelling errors or improvements are easy fixes and always appreciated. Please give me a shout if you see blatant errors. I'm also thinking of revisiting the rating system this summer. The SoL videos on which they are based are largely out of date, so if you have any ideas to gather community feedback on these, tell me!
    • I've had a couple messages asking for donations recently (I have made tools for other games as well) and finally implemented a Paypal link. It's in the previously unused cell B2 on the main sheet, and in the Legends/Extra's page. If you think this is too intrusive, please tell me. Of course this stuff will always be free because I do this for fun. If you want to buy me a coffee that's cool, but if you want to donate more than a couple of bucks please consider a charity or other good cause first.

    Post of appreciation

    Posted: 06 Jun 2020 04:28 PM PDT

    So when lockdown happened I decided to move to my family home (since staying at my current home alone wouldn't have been fun). I told my dad, who is original AOE 2 veteran, that new remastered version came out and bought 2 copies for us. it was back in mid May. Since then we played at least 3 games a day. thank you guys for such an amazing remaster and such a good way to reconnect with my old man.

    do you play in your dreams after playing for 10 hours?

    Posted: 07 Jun 2020 02:14 AM PDT

    Hi, I just wanna know if I'm the only one :)

    Yesterday night I was saracens and the other flank got his base walled in and he resigned, the other dude resigned as well so it was just me and my flank playing. Then the game transformed to a age 3 and age 2 mix where tc's where from aoe 3 but i was still making mamelukes and could rotate the map in 3D. I made my factories in my base ( its in aoe3) and after losing my 1. wave army realized I forgot to set up trade and I woke up.

    Maybe in AoE 4 we could get a map that can rotate 360? What are your thoughts?

    Thanks for reading and god pls mods if you're reading this bring the old 11 back.

    Problem with ranked water maps (The story of galley Gary )

    Posted: 07 Jun 2020 05:06 AM PDT

    A typical moderate elo water battle goes like this. One person starts making galleys at feudal age(lets call him galley gary) and one makes fireships. Person with fire ships will be chasing galleys and trying to bring down docks of the galley gary. If docks survive long enough for galley gary and for 7+ galleys then galley gary starts kiting down fire ships. Fire ship person is weak against bunched up galleys that keep moving and shooting and also against demo ships forcing fire ship person to switch into galleys. Now it turns into who is the biggest GALLEY GARY (or if your vikings Longboat Larry). Contrast to land maps where in feudal age you get 3 different military buildings with 5+ units to choose from depending on your plan of attack or plan of defense. Only gets better with more and more newer units.

    This did not matter much before in HD or Voobly when people only played Arabia and Black forest. Ships are a must in most maps as they can outperform most land units until imperial age(Even in imperial having bombard cannon ships with 15 range is more valuable than a bombard cannon on land). Its actually nice to have water on some maps as civs like Japanese , Italians and Malay couldn't using their fishing ships bonuses that helped their eco or portugese using thier armor on ships. And I understand when people say just ban the water maps but can we agree water battles can get really boring?

    I basically copypasted the /r/leagueoflegends post-match format, and filled it with aoe 2 stuff. Obviously, it doesn't have the icons that the original threads have, but if you have any suggestions, please say so!

    Also, the last last thread didn't get too much traction, I did this because I had the format at hand; I'll do one for tomorrow probably, but this doesn't seem to be a very popular concept over here.

    Quick survey on Steam achievements

    Posted: 07 Jun 2020 04:49 AM PDT

    Hello bois and girls,

    Quick survey: what's the most uncommon achivement that you have unlocked?

    To find this, click on your AOE2 latest achievement in the Steam library, then "View global achievements stats", and scroll down the list to find the last colored one on the right.

    For me: "Dark humour" (20 vil kills in dark age with militia) and "Age of Empires" (all civ wins).

    Did anyone get the "Marco Polo" one? I'm guessing this was intentional, right?

    Age of empires 2 Nostalgia

    Posted: 07 Jun 2020 07:55 AM PDT

    I remember when i played Aoe 2 demo at my cousins place and i tried to install the demo in my home computer and i wasn't allowed because i only had 16 mb of ram, it broke my heart. so my brother after a year installed 32 mbs of ram and then i could install it...

    I was so happy for like a month and then my dad said i couldn't play because it was bad for me and deleted the game of the PC and he took away the CD and hid it in his room, so i used to try and creep into to my parents room and steal the CD so i could install the game and play the demo, which was me(celts) vs the FFA Celts and Britons, but after a while he knew that i would steal the CD, so he would hit me and hide the CD, so i stopped for a few months, but then learnt that you could copy the whole install file on to the (1Gig) Hard drive.

    Ever since then i was able to play it, until dad found out and woke up at 3 am to catch me and hit me with sticks for years and wouldn't let me play from 11pm till 7am because i didn't sleep and i needed that sleep for school.... or maybe because he wanted me to work for him for free in his business.

    TLDR: I love Age of empires

    How to scout boar lure? Aoe2 De

    Posted: 07 Jun 2020 07:25 AM PDT

    So a couple times I've attempted to boar lure with my scout (neutral ones on black forest). I expected to need to hit it once and hit stop every time I'm more than 2 tiles ahead. However I've noticed the boar stops chasing wayy faster than normal. Did they change something in aoe2de? Is there a new method to lure with a scout now?

    Looking for different scenarios for multiplayer with a friend

    Posted: 07 Jun 2020 07:18 AM PDT

    Hi all. So, Friday I played a couple of matches with a friend, us against bots. lol I left them hard so we were soundly crushed. My thing, personally, is that I'm really not in the mood for a a proper RTS experience, build orders ack gag me with a spoon, but i'd very much like to keep on playing with this friend. So, I ask you for different, optimized scenarios for multiplayer, like MOBAs, RPGs and the like. Thanks a lot.

    Friendly reminder that siege kills buildings

    TIL you can "rob" enemy markets with your trade carts.

    Posted: 07 Jun 2020 12:03 AM PDT

    Short on gold? No allies with whom to trade? Knock down every part of the enemy's base except the market. Keep your army out of range so they don't attack it, then send your trade carts to "trade" with the hostile market.

    It works!

    BOA2 start time?

    Posted: 07 Jun 2020 03:53 AM PDT

    Ok, I'm completely confused about how and when the final can be viewed?

    I think it's going to be live, today, in one hour? (13h gmt +2?) And it will be streamed by both membtv and T90?

    Can someone confirm?

    You can combine the tech tree and unique techs/bonuses for any two Civs, which the do you choose?

    Posted: 07 Jun 2020 05:59 AM PDT

    Edit: I messed the title up, which TWO civs

    In a similar manner to the Berbers giving allies access to the Genitor; you can pick any two civilisations and be able to train all their available units, including unique ones, and be able to research all technologies either civ can.

    Lots of possibilities here, the kind of stuff you might see in early game x256 mod.

    I would like to play as a combined Magyars and Persians to have a superb no gold trash army.
