    Saracens 23+2pop FC into Boom Build Order

    Posted: 23 Jul 2020 05:35 AM PDT

    Hey reddit!

    In my quest to find a unique build order for every civ, I came up with this one for the Saracens.

    Thanks to their 75 wood market and better prices, you don't need to go on gold at all in order to FC. This ends up saving you 200 wood and some villagerseconds and - along with pushing a few deer -enables you to perform a very quick FC Boom. It is tight, but even at my ELO (~1800 HD) it is consistently doable.

    Here it is (text form):

    Saracens 23+2 FC Boom

    Dark Age - house, 6 on Sheep - house, lumbercamp, 3 on Wood - 1 lures boar - +1 to boar. 8 on boar total. dont forget to lure your 2nd boar in time! - house, mill, 5 on Berries (start luring 2-3 deer) - house, +2 to Wood - 4 farms - research Loom and click up while advancing: - pull off two shepherds and sent them to wood - vil allocation: 7 on wood, 6 on sheep/deer, 5 on berries, 4 on farms Feudal Age (ideal time: 10:30) - Blacksmith (1 builder) & Market (2 builders) - +2 to wood - sell 200 wood and click up while advancing: - you will run out of sheep/deer: send those to build another lumber camp. you can use 1-2 of them to wall your base. - vil allocation: 15 on wood, 5 on berries, 4 on farms - research Double Bit Axe, then Horse Collar (only after 2nd lumber camp) - you will run out of berries a few seconds before hitting Castle: walk these 5 vils to where you want to build your 2nd TC (wood!). start chopping trees to bridge idle if necessary. Castle Age (ideal time: 14:00) - drop your 2nd TC with your 5 former foragers - research Bow Saw - build another TC (on gold) with 2-3 villagers (only after Bow Saw!) - set your gather points to wood and keep adding farms every 60 wood until you have around 21 - set one TC's gather point to Gold From here, you have a booming economy. You can add defensive Monastery or Siege, amass army, continue booming, etc... 

    Like any FC, this leaves you vulnerable to early Feudal aggression, but pays off in the mid-to-late game. This is why I would only recommend this as TG pocket or in close (or wallable) maps: Arena, Hillfort, Hideout, BF; even GA. Saracens have decent Monks and good Siege which can help you defend in Caslte Age.

    Tell me what you think!

    RM TG Slang Phrasebook for New Players [High Effort Content]

    Posted: 23 Jul 2020 12:20 AM PDT

    WHAT IS THIS?

    A handful of common abbreviations and slang currently used in ranked multiplayer team games. Intended as a reference sheet, will not be updated, absolutely not to be consumed as a complete or comprehensive source.

    WHY?

    You can theoretically be a very good player and still lose RM team games because your team failed to communicate well, just like in any game.

    WHO FOR?

    - Players who are new to RM team games

    - Players from non-English language backgrounds

    - Players struggling to communicate with their teams, at all levels

    ___________________

    General:

    rax = barracks

    sc = scouts

    kt = knights

    arch = archers

    CA = cavalry archers

    m@a/maa = man-at-arms

    xbow = crossbowmen

    pala = paladin

    FC = Fast Castle

    TC = Town Centre

    fwd = to go forward, typically with man-at-arms and ranges or towers

    trush = tower rush

    Your team:

    X = flare the map (default hotkey is Alt+F)

    ping = flare the map

    gb = "go back"; retreat, do not fight here

    b = abbreviation of "gb"

    14 = I want you to fight with me now

    use = you have idle military units

    market/mkt = I want you to set up trade now

    The other team:

    P1/P2/P3/P4/P5/P6/P7/P8 = "Player 1". Referencing a specific player/colour.

    P1 - blue

    P2 - red

    P3 - green

    P4 - yellow

    P5 - teal/light blue

    P6 - pink/purple

    P7 - grey

    P8 - orange

    flank = flank position. The player/s closest to the other team.

    pkt = pocket position. The player/s furthest away from the other team.

    ___________________

    PRACTICAL EXAMPLE

    You queue up for a 4v4 team game with a friend. You get Arabia. You choose P6 colour (pink) and your friend chooses P2 colour (red). You end up on opposite sides of the map. Your flank, P8, says:

    "P6 u sc?" = will you make scouts in Feudal Age?

    You say "1 (Yes)"

    P4, who is next to you in the pocket position, says: "p2 I FC" = I will go fast castle

    Your friend says: "ok I arch"

    A couple minutes later, P8 pings the opposite side of the map to you: "p3 frank pkt"

    Now you know he has scouted the opponent and sees Green is playing as the pocket on your side, as the Franks.

    It's nearly Feudal Age, and P8 has forgotten to tell you who his flank opponent is. You type into the chat: "X flank"

    P8 flares the map where P7, on the other team, is. He writes: "P7 TC", meaning grey's town centre is where the X appears.

    You say "1 (Yes)"

    You say "x for sc" = flare the map and I will send my scouts

    ___________________

    Congratulations, you made it to Feudal Age :)

    It gets harder from here. Communication makes all the difference between teams in most games, but the learning curve can be steep.

    Hope this helps!

    Please roll back the patch!

    Posted: 23 Jul 2020 06:32 AM PDT

    First off, I'm not here to trash the devs. I greatly appreciate all the hard work they have put into this game. Bugs happen - that's normal and ok. But if the bug puts the game in an unplayable state, it needs to be rolled back.

    The stutter on the current patch is not something I can play through and I know I'm not the only one. Top streamers have been playing other games due to the bug. I've seen several tournaments either be postponed or moved to older patches. People are coming to this forum to ask if it's even worth buying given the current bugs...

    IMO, if it can't be quickly fixed, it needs to be rolled back.

    This post is a little selfish because this is my first free weekend in a long time and I really just want to binge some aoe. Please devs, roll back the patch!

    15 HP - Mongol Challange( hands are shaking)

    A moment of appreciation for the best new feature

    Posted: 23 Jul 2020 05:02 AM PDT

    With the latest update we are getting something we didn't even knew we needed. Every ~30 seconds the game freezes for a second or so, and I must say, this is really nice. This second or so allows me to gather my thoughts and clearly think about my strategy. It also briefly puts me out of the game, allowing me to have a bird's eye view of the situation. All in all this makes me a better player and I'm sad that not every player gets this new feature. I hope in the hotfix they fix it so everyone can enjoy this new feature.

    Obligatory I'll add an /s

    What civs counter which/what's the hardest matchup for each civ?

    Posted: 23 Jul 2020 05:28 AM PDT

    Just curious what people think about this. Game doesn't have hard counters but sometimes it does feel like a civ has soft counters, such as Britons countering Turks.

    Seen some disagreements before though, such as some arguing Mayans get countered by Goths and others saying Mayans have all the tools they need to end the fight before it hits that point.

    Only two I feel confident with are:

    Britons counter Turks - Turks don't do well vs. archers, and Briton archers have additional range, making this brutal for Turks and rendering many of their favorite units useless

    Burmese counter Malians - Malians benefit from extra pierce armor and do better when pressuring in the early game rather than waiting to late game. By Imp their style transitions and they become a glass cannon that shouldn't take head-on fights but can raid well via Gbetos or cavalry. Burmese gain extra attack so they don't care about the Malian's pierce armor since their infantry already win. Late-game, both of them can raid well, but Burmese have the advantage in head-to-head matchups.

    What do you think is the key to getting 45+k in Mongol Raiders' challenge?

    Posted: 23 Jul 2020 03:27 AM PDT

    It is already established that you can get about 40k if you do things perfectly (at least 100 years left, lots of research done, etc.) even though there is a room for improvement most likely. However, there are already about 70 people, if I recall correctly, having score over 45k. People with over 50-55k are more of a mystery now. The mystery that is usually raising some accusations of cheating or using exploits.

    If some of you have score over 45k, how did you get it?

    And plebs like me, what do you think is needed to get 45+k score?

    Steam version of AOE won't launch after recent update

    Posted: 23 Jul 2020 07:55 AM PDT

    So what the title says. I have tried reinstalling, verifying files, checking the fire wall, updating windows and video card drivers. Nothing is fixing it. The logo for the game will come up, steam will say the game is running and then it'll close and that's it. I've seen some posts from earlier updates with the same problem. The game has always run perfectly for me.

    Anyone know if there will be a fix soon?
