Lumberjacks going idle randomly

Posted: 15 Jul 2020 11:37 PM PDT

Not sure if this has already been mentioned, but I'm noticing that my lumberjacks stop chopping after they finish a tree.

I'm not doing anything different or changed any settings. I'm assuming it's a bug? Has anyone else been experiencing this?

I really hate the way the game fades from black directly into the game, I always feel like I lose valuable time at the start.

Way back in the day when I played LoL there would be like 30 seconds before minions spawned, where you had time to get your bearings.

I don't think we need anything that drastic, but maybe a 3 second countdown, giving you time to analyze your start and get your hands in position.

Should you get horse collar when doing MAA into Archers with Japanese?

I know usually you delay horse collar until you're on the way to castle age with this build but is it worth getting as Japanese, especially with how much wood they save during dark age and early feudal?

How can I train myself to use more hotkeys?

Posted: 16 Jul 2020 02:22 AM PDT

Hey!

I've been playing AoE for over 15 years (mostly playing LAN games with friends, often against AI) and only recently started playing online.

My first competitive game were quite a disaster, and I identified a lot of mistakes in my play, like stopping villager production too early in castle age, building too few TCs and military production buildings, and getting military upgrades too early.

But I feel that my biggest deficit is that I'm not trained to use hotkeys, except for the very basic ones like "Idle Villager", "Town Center" and the setup and selection of control groups.

I've tried to force myself to use more hotkeys (like for selecting buildings in the build menu and queing up units, or changing formations and attack stance), but I just can't manage to memorize and hit the right keys. It's so hard to change habits after 15 years.

How do you practive hotkey usage? And based on the situation described above, which ones should I learn first?

Saracen Market Abuse

Posted: 16 Jul 2020 04:32 AM PDT

On closed maps such as Arena. How best do you use/abuse their market bonus to FC or Fast Imp?

Are there any build orders for this? Looking to try 3TC Arb+Siege ram with them and wondering how to use the market to get there faster.

At the moment Vikings seem to be the best for 3TC Arbs+SRams. Can hit hit around 25:50 and attacking the flank by around 28mins.

Saracens would be even better because their Archers are basically siege weapons with the vs building bonus. But a quick up time is perhaps the most important part of this strat.

Replay Feedback Request - Mayans vs Goths

Posted: 16 Jul 2020 02:08 AM PDT

Hey Reddit,

Would really appreciate getting some feedback on a recent game of mine as Mayans vs Goths. I am slowly trying to improve my skills (haven't had enough games for a reliable ELO yet but would guess I am around 900-950 based upon who I am winning and losing to) and would grateful for any pointers of where I went wrong or could improve (particularly in this match up as I think goths are a very tough civ for Mayans to beat).

Replay Link:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/10or93hYbMmql9HZ3TcIqSz1YCsjjoi1q/view?usp=sharing

(is there an easy way to get these replays uploaded to youtube instead of having to share the replay file?)

The areas that I can think of are:

- Had way too many idle villagers after his raid

- I didn't keep my TC fully active during the FA (multitasking is hard man!)

- Floating wood and food in the latter half of the game, I needed more gold units and probably should have sold some of this on the market and/or focused my villagers on getting more gold

I think the general strategy with this match-up is to try and cripple the goths as heavily as possible prior to them getting castle age however my opponent did a really good FC here and I never managed to contain him after this. Once in CA how are you supposed to react to the Huskarl's ? I tried going onagers and 2HSM to deal with them but I just couldn't get anything to reliably work, especially when he started mixing in Champions to deal with my 2HSM.
