    First Ranked Online Win

    Posted: 22 Aug 2020 01:08 AM PDT

    Today has been a good day for the old man (I'm 48) and AoE2. I got a gold medal in the first Art of War scenario and just now I've managed to get my very first victory in a ranked online match up.

    Ahhh, the sweet smell of success.

    [Serious Post - BALANCE SUGGESTION] Military units need to be nerfed

    Posted: 21 Aug 2020 03:58 PM PDT

    I'm a 1v1 1169 elo player really hate the fact that it has become "meta" to produce military units and buildings in ranked 1v1s, especially on maps like Arabia. Every game is so dry and repetitive, and you are basically FORCED to make military in order to survive. It's just the same braindead strat every time - make 20-26 vils, then make military. The only civs where villager even stand a chance are Incas Khmer and Spanish, and I'm tired of playing them every single game and STILL dying to dark/feudal/castle/imp/post-imp aggression every time. Garrison TC? they just run away and go up to castle while you cripple your own economy. Build towers/castle? they just attack somewhere else. Build walls? Destroyed instantly. Attack with vils? Can't because of underpowered stats and too micro-intensive. Even TheViper (the second best player in the WORLD) going full supremacy villagers lost to Hera playing Chinese (a C-tier civ, at best) in a regicide fortress showmatch game. The problem is that raiding units don't take attrition damage (they should lose health like in Rise of Nations when too far from supply lines) so youre basically forced to micro your villagers to attack them and they still barely take damage. It's kind of unfair that the devs removed wonder victory from ranked so even if you manage to survive to imperial the the better eco, you still can't even win the game. The devs should also add a new victory condition to ranked where you can buy the enemy player for like 10 gold per unit and 20 gold per building (just example figures, i'll make a more detailed post on this in the future) and if you can afford that you win the game basically. Like I get some people like to make military (sometimes i make militias because it looks like the play guitar :D 11) but it's just being forced down our throats.

    Has anyone experienced a bug where gates are left open?

    (Definitive) How come Spearmen do such little damage to Knights even though they are supposed to be Cavalry counters?

    Posted: 22 Aug 2020 03:08 AM PDT

    My noobness is showing, I'll admit but maybe the better question is how much spearmen do I need for one knight?

    Missing sheep.

    Posted: 22 Aug 2020 02:04 AM PDT

    Game starts, I'm all set ready to lay down my first two houses, send a lamb to the slaughter under the tc and get my scout on the move, one small problem. No Bloody Sheep.

    Now I'm wasting time sending vil's left and right, got the scout going here there and everywhere, no bloody sheep.

    Eventually find them, all fucking eight of them holding hands shaking like crazy just waiting to get chopped. Scared little buggers. All eight within a 12 square patch about 20 tiles from the tc, WTF. First time that's ever happened.

    why are the names of some civs changed in different languages?

    Posted: 22 Aug 2020 03:57 AM PDT

    magyars are called hungarians in german and i think some other civs have different names aswell. is there a historical reason behind this?

    AoE2 DE has killed HD.

    Posted: 21 Aug 2020 02:11 PM PDT

    Wanting a little change in pace I thought I would go back to my roots and play a couple games on HD. WOW!!! Is that game stuffed. Don't get me wrong I absolutely love the fact that we can all still go back to the "retro" version and play but man is it frustrating. I never realised just how dependant I have become on the shift queue function. With out that one little thing my feudal time went from approx 10.15-30 to almost a full 13mins.

    So in my most humble opinion I do believe that DE has effectively killed HD. It be like trying to take on the Turks in full boom imp with Goths in Feudal. There is just no chance.

    I will always, always remember AoE2-AoK's, the Conq's expansion and the HD revival but nothing comes close to DE now, IMHO.

    How to counter Britons as a beginner?

    Posted: 22 Aug 2020 07:12 AM PDT

    Hi everyone,

    Next thursday I'll play a match against a friend and I was informed he'll pick Britons because he wants to take advantage from the longbow archers.
    I already played once against him and he destroyed me with mayans plumed archers (I used aztecs).
    Even if I was developing a better economy I ended up losing because I was not able to deal with his archers and next time it will be even more difficult because of his long range bonus!

    So I'm trying to figure out what civilization to pick and how to engage battles.

    I searched on google how to counter longbow archers but I didn't find any 100% effective strategy, do you have any suggestion? (Any suggestion to defeat longbow archers and britons in general!)

    Thanks in advance!

    PS: we play aoe definitive edition and we are both "beginner" players

    Hey all! Just wondering if there were any sort of leagues here

    Posted: 21 Aug 2020 07:54 PM PDT

    I think it would be really fun to be in some sort of league for aoe. I'm not very good at the game 1000-1150 elo depending on the map pool but was wondering if anything like this exists. Also since I'm new to steam was wondering if anyone around this elo would want to play team games and play together! I've been playing aoe 2 since I was a kid (2005-2010) but just recently got very into aoe 2 DE. Thanks!

    What QOL improvement has most affected your game play?

    Posted: 21 Aug 2020 03:09 PM PDT

    For me it's definitely shift queuing. Good or bad??? It's taken away some of the eco micro required in HD but this one thing has definitely effected the way I play the most.

    Hun’s lack of building upgrades.

    Posted: 21 Aug 2020 11:58 AM PDT

    I understand the Hunic peoples were a nomadic tribe that roamed the steeps and killed every bastard they came across but they did build shit. Occasionally. The one tech IMO that I think they should have is Treadmill Crane. Why you ask. Well if you were a friggin peasant living on the steeps under the rule of Attila and that mean mongrel told you to build a tent for him that night, how quick do you think you would rip that fucker up. Mate I'd be like arse over backwards, yes my lord, no problem my lord and I'd be running to get that bit of material and stick up so fast you wouldn't see me for the dust cloud I'd generate. I'm eating dinner tonight boys!!! No head on a pike just yet!!!

    Mod to highlight res?

    Posted: 21 Aug 2020 08:10 PM PDT

    Especially stone, sometimes I have trouble locating it on the screen, like when it's behind a building. The outline seems to blend on and the minimap is barely helpful.

    I'd love something that makes it pop more on the screen.

    How Often Do You Change Civs?

    Posted: 21 Aug 2020 05:13 PM PDT

    Just wondering how often people switch it up, primarily in 1v1?

    I used to play only random Civs then decided to focus hard on Mongols.

    Then I focused hard on Bulgarians for like 4 months.

    Berbers I've been playing for a couple weeks and really like them.

    Tried Magyars today and my timings are all jacked up.

    So how do you pick your Civs?
