    New player subjected to a thorough Douching in first ranked game

    Posted: 03 Aug 2020 07:53 PM PDT

    Just came to say, started playing this game a month or so ago, and today decided to dip my toes in the ranked queue ocean.

    First game was what I can only describe as a clusterfuck, in which I was subjected to an insane cheese which after googling I found to apparently be called the Persian Douche. You guys probably know more about it than me but the sheer terror upon seeing 20 vills march into my base and throwing down the TC was something I've never experienced in any competitive game ever. Even though I got destroyed in the repair-off, it was a hilarious opening to ranked gameplay, so if you're out there v., thanks so much for introducing me to the ripest of cheese openings, and for answering my questions about how to deal with it after the match!

    Second game was rather different, standard economy based game which I won handily. All that time spent in bot games paid off there.

    Just think it's incredible how a 20 year old game can still be so riveting and enjoyable for new players. Definitely hooked and can't wait to play more.

    ​

    TL, DR: Played ranked for the first time tonight, got Douched, loved it, love this game, can't wait to go again!

    I started off three weeks ago with no knowledge and now I can hold up with some family members with who I play who've played this game since before I was born. You guys gave me so much advice about literally everything and I read so many old conversations. You recommended magudai and now I really beat them often. Thanks guys.

    Mayans Vs Goths - How To ?

    Posted: 04 Aug 2020 05:50 AM PDT

    Hi!
    Yesterday I played against a guy who picked Goths on Arabia twice.
    I always pick mayans and leave the random option unblocked because I really like random matchups, but if someone pick I like to play mayans because I consider that is a strong civ and I know the civ.
    For me Mayans vs Goths is the WORST matchup ever and I'd like to know how to play it.

    I'm a 1500 ELO 1v1 RM, so I think that the level is pretty decent and civ bonuses and disadvantages are important.

    The game flow was something like this.
    Goths open M@A (which is cheaper and faster than mayans M@A)
    Mayan open M@A (23 pop)
    Goths fully walled with DOUBLE WALL when mayans M@A reach his base (Almost Perfect build with 23 pop)
    Goths M@A didn't do damage.

    Since he was fully walled and I knew that I couldn't let him take stone I went forward with 4 vills and started creating archers to try to break in.

    He has a back stone and a side stone. I towered the side stone and then breaked in to attack the back stone.
    I killed some vills, he went up to castle, drop a castle and by that time is GG. Mayans cannot counter goths in castle age once they mass some huskarles + militia line.
    I tried droping a castle, some rams and long swordman to take down his castle but he massed more long swordman than me (they are cheaper, the barracks works faster)

    Next game that I played I knew what was coming so I decided to be more agressive and tried to deny his stone early. He tower up his expose stone I manage to break in and deny the stone, but HE BUYED the castle (Or at least the stone that was left to build it)

    So my question is, how can I play this match? I feel that I did what I had to do but with double wall, house wall I cannot break in in time to prevent him gathering stone and after the castle is GG.

    Maybe going 4 M@A into archers and try to break in in early feudal (which is what i did) but with more luck will be enough.
    But the double wall + house behind wins so much time that by the time I break in it doesn' matter if i have more army than him, 2 or 3 huskarles and all my army is gone.

    I (~1100 elo) matched with PGP Angelina Jolie on 1v1 ranked queue.

    Posted: 03 Aug 2020 04:34 PM PDT

    He went 21 pop archers with italians and beat me bad after spotting my drush and disposing of it with 3 militia of his own.

    I checked aoe2.net to see if the account was just being ranked up or something, or to see if there was some copycat account around my elo with some creative misspelling of the name, but no this was the 2ker. How long would they have had to have been waiting in the queue to have been matched up with me I wonder.

    How do you counter Fast Castle? (FC)

    Posted: 04 Aug 2020 01:03 AM PDT

    I've noticed in my 1v1 games that I actually lose quite a bit of my matches where the opponent goes FC.
    People always say:
    1. YOU HAVE TO DO DAMAGE
    2. HE HAS WEAK ECO PUSH/PRESSURE

    I like to make feudal archers, but sometimes my opponent is well defended at home with skirms and in rare cases, a tower.

    If I can't do damage, should I pull vills off gold and prioritize getting up to castle age myself?Do I keep making archers?I like playing mayans so should I start making eagles?

    Games I lost:Mayans vs CeltsHe MAA FC'd did 3 - 4 castles defensively before hitting imp and going onager and halbsMayans vs CeltsHe MAA FC'd into knights, skirms, and magonel pushMayans vs CumansDelayed 2nd TC into castle age with large knight and skirm push

    Mangudai vs camel archers?

    Posted: 04 Aug 2020 03:02 AM PDT

    I've grown a liking for mangudai thanks to you guys, yet I was wondering what you would do vs camel archers? As they are archers you can't hit and run, so what would you do?

    WW2 scenarios?

    Posted: 04 Aug 2020 06:02 AM PDT

    What are peoples' thoughts on re-creating WW2 battles in AOE2 with custom scenarios? I was thinking about makeing campaigns centred on certain key points of WW2, playing as the Allies against the Axis forces.

    Would people consider this to be in bad taste? I suppose there are lots of WW2 games but would an AOE2 remake seem disrespectful for some reason, as many of us remember family members who were involved? Or maybe I overthink this?

    AOE2 DE Non Stop Stuttering

    Posted: 03 Aug 2020 10:15 PM PDT

    So today ive played a few games totally fine, not a single issue, until about 10 minutes into a 1v1 the game started stuttering, it would play for 3 seconds, then start for 3 seconds, and repeat that forever making it unplayable. Anybody else encountered this problem before in this game or any game and knows how to fix it?

    Reseeding, auto (new DE version) or old original & HD version???

    Posted: 04 Aug 2020 05:24 AM PDT

    Just out of curiosity, what is the communities opinion. Do you prefer the new "set & forget" reseeding or the old way where you had to make sure you had the wood to reseed your farms and fish traps???

    **** LEAVERS

    Posted: 04 Aug 2020 12:11 AM PDT

    Am I the only one here having a problem with leavers? This is the fifth round where someone left. So far I have so far classified the following types of leavers:

    * Minecrafters: Typically bad players who ignore hints (like walling). They either get rushed or attacked later and will produce little to no military. Their economy is bad and they will quit as soon as enemy military shows up. There is also a special version which will start trolling you, like walling off their resources towards the enemy.

    * Ragers: People who get upset about some minor issues, like taking a relic or resources and then ragequit.

    * Lobbyhoppers: People who quit almost directly after starting a round, just to be found in another one short time after. Those are part of your personal torment crew (tm).

    * Disconnecters: Can happen, usually its someone playing normally until he suddendly quits. Its probably annoying for him as well. There should be some reconnect option. Its a DE and its 2020.

    How do you deal with them? Does reporting do anything? I would wish there would be at least some soft-ban system for the multiplayer, giving those people a timeout for at least a week if they get reported frequently.

    Walls are destroying the Game : Arabia

    Posted: 04 Aug 2020 08:52 AM PDT

    Palisade walls need to be nerfed.

    Take a standard 3 unit M@A rush with a cost of 380 food and 125 gold, 3 M@As can not take down a palisade being repaired by one vill.

    So a cost of 2 Wood and 50 food can negate the M@A rush. This makes zero sense and is unbalanced.

    Everyone is walling up with tower defence and doing nothing until the 40 min mark, because if you rush you get crushed.

    Its why games are lasting so long and why Im afraid the player base will slowly get frustrated and leave the game.

    Maybe there could be a hotkey for players who want to stone wall behind palisades and have the process automated for them!
