    Map with Ballista Elephant Start!

    Map with Ballista Elephant Start!

    Fun non-competitive map I made called "Mekong", centered around the idea of dark age ballista elephant cuts:

    The Mekong River is overflowing with vegetation, but that is no problem when you start with a ballista elephant instead of a scout! Water cannot control the entire river either, as sections of dirt rich with gold separate the river's flow.

    copy-paste the following pastebin into Notepad and save as .rms file to get map file yourself!

    Classic Cup: King of the Huns Finals

    Is Druzhina (Slavs) really worth and effective?

    Posted: 13 Jun 2020 04:42 AM PDT

    Hi guys, i'm testing this imperial age tech with Slavs but it's hard to see real improvement
    maybe it's my fault and I'm wrong to expect to win every battle when i can spam my large number of champions but i don't see this Druzhina work very well

    I'm doing some test in the editor but it seems like when you have a melee fight (for example champions vs champions or vs hussar/huskarl/samurai and others) the fight is just too short to take advantage of that +5 bonus on adjacent enemy.
    Of course if you are in post imperial and you have great economy no doubt you will have to research Druzhina... but at the moment i don't see this as a game changer

    What's your opinion on this?

    Suggestion: Make the AI replace disconnected players in online matches

    Posted: 12 Jun 2020 06:18 PM PDT

    the title says it all, but to elaborate a little why isn't there a way where AI replaces a disconnected player in team matches. it happened to me a couple times before where i am winning with my team and the. the game crashes or the internet disconnects, and i'm not talking about players who resign but Disconnected or crashes only the difficulty of the AI could be corresponded with the players Elo ratings that way the team would lose a bit of momentum but not just lose because minor inconveniences like this

    Wait, so can I never get the 256x tech mod?

    Posted: 13 Jun 2020 01:18 AM PDT

    I've been putting off getting DE for a while, but I heard that the 256x tech was added to DE as a cheat code. I had a lot of fun with the mod in HD, and this was one of the things that set me over the edge to buy DE, but I guess its locked behind an event that is over? Is this a reoccurring event that I would get another chance to get it, or is there another way to get it? If not its kind of sucks to lock content away from anyone who bought the game after a certain date.

    Edit: The title should say "256x tech cheat"

    What does the graphic setting "bloom" actually do?

    Posted: 13 Jun 2020 05:42 AM PDT

    I cant for the life of me figure out what it does, I've been comparing on vs off multidozens of times ingame, but they both look exactly the same....

    Does anyone have any clue? Im just curious at this point.

    Meta when flank cavalry and pocket archer civs?

    Posted: 13 Jun 2020 04:55 AM PDT

    How should you usually play when you're a flank cavalry civ with a pocket archer civ?

    Say it's a 4v4 arabia, flank is franks, pocket is ethiopians or something. Do you go flank archers and pocket knights anyway, and tech switch later? Or do you go flank scouts into knights, and pocket crossbows? Or something else?

    It obviously depends on other things (eg spanish flank wouldn't go crossbow), but let's say generally speaking

    Yo guys started playing some AOE ranked...not the best player but hope you can give me pointers

    What is the equivalent to "Normal Queue" here in AOE2?

    Posted: 12 Jun 2020 09:37 PM PDT

    Hello.

    I'm "new" to playing aoe2 online (I played the campaigns 15 years ago when I was a child)

    I have been playing ranked games of League of Legends for the last 6 years, last year I reached Master and suddenly my interest in the game diminished, so I want to try new things here in AOE2. I'm already getting to know the memes (11)

    In LoL you have a Normal Queue (for practice, not so serious, etc.) and Ranked Queue, I have already played some ranked games here in AOE2 but I'm struggling to even maintain a 50% win rate due to my lack of experience.

    Some people suggest that I should be able to beat the Hard AI before trying ranked and I'm already capable of doing that consistently, but people online do not play like the AI (some are even worse 11)

    Also, I don't know if this is relevant, but I play in DE.

    TLDR: Where can I play non ranked games to practice?

    How do you attack?

    Posted: 13 Jun 2020 05:52 AM PDT

    Whenever I play I just send all my troops it at once.

    I try and manage them, like I'll try and get my archers to shoot spear men so they don't kill my cavalry etc. But I'm sure I'm not effective at all.

    What are some good strategies and rules to follow when in war?

    Noob needs help countering micro gunpowder units

    Posted: 13 Jun 2020 12:17 AM PDT

    Hi guys!
    I played my first online game yesterday (DE) and got absolutely destroyed by my opponents micro'd Turks gunpowder units. Economy wise I was pulling my own weight (I'm sort of a noob, I reach castle in 17 minutes and make knights with huns) but when my opponent brought on his army my knights were helpless. I tried to make scorpions to counter his units but his bombard cannons wiped those out too.
    My question is, how do I counter someone who's micro-ing their archers/gunpowder units?
    Any other tips will be really helpful. Thanks!

    Art of War 1. Been at it all day. Couldn't make it past Silver. Should I uninstall?

    Posted: 12 Jun 2020 06:18 PM PDT

    As per title, I just started playing AoE2. Tried the Art of War, the first challenge (get to Feudal in 8 mins or so for Gold), could do at most 8:30 and get Silver. I've been trying all day.

    Is it normal or expected? Or do I hopelessly suck at this game with no hope of redemption?

    Interview with BoA 2 map creator Chrazini (Part 1)

    Is 22 pop fc possible?

    Posted: 13 Jun 2020 03:51 AM PDT

    I had a guy go 22 pop fc against me, and I even picked off a vil in feudal. I watched the replay and he got 500 food before getting the second boar without using dear, with 3 on wood as franks and no idle tc time

    He created like 3 vils in feudal before clocking up

    Just doesn't make sense to me
