    You should know that: Doubling the number of villagers does not build twice as fast

    You should know that: Doubling the number of villagers does not build twice as fast

    I just made this graph from the formula 3t/(n+2) from the Age of Empires wiki page). I was surprised just how strong the law of diminishing returns was for buildings.

    Some rules of thumb:

    • Using 2 villagers instead of 1 reduces build time by 25%
    • Using 10 villagers instead of 1 builds it in 25% of the time

    Unique techs that only affect the unique unit feel like a scam

    Posted: 07 Aug 2020 05:09 AM PDT

    Things like Magyar Corvinian army reducing the gold cost of the Huszar to 0
    Persian, or Korean ones increasing the movement speed etc.

    It feels like those Civs do not have a unique tech at all. I get, that it has the effect of making it more expensive to get that unit rolling, but for Imperial age techs, that could have just been included in a more expensive elite upgrade, too.
    It just feels like the unit is only becoming what it should already be after the upgrade and you don't actually have any unique bonus.

    I know there are balancing reasons to have it like that, and the Civilizations are not necessarily bad because of it, but it just feels disappointing. Especially when the unique unit is something you usually don't use anyways.

    Replace a useless thing with something useful.

    Posted: 07 Aug 2020 05:17 AM PDT

    Could be a unit, tech, or a bonus, whichever would you like to replace, and how?

    I would personally replace Madrasah (Saracen tech which returns you the 33% of the gold you spent on a dead monk) with something like this:

    Bazaar: Your markets act as if they are x% further away from any market you are trading with (300W 300F cost)

    Let's hear your original ideas!

    Where does aoe2.net get its data from?

    Posted: 07 Aug 2020 05:40 AM PDT

    I am curious if there is anyone who knows where www.aoe2.net gets its data from. I tried to capture some network traffic, but everything seems to encrypted. And there does not seem to be any public API that Microsoft exposes to obtain this data from. At first I thought that it simply uses the Steam Api, but I can't be completely sure on this.

    Is there a way to get the event mods after they already happen? Also, there is no mod for the yurts?

    Posted: 07 Aug 2020 02:36 AM PDT

    If you play DE you know about events. I couldnt play during some of them so I dont have the official mods, tho. Is there a way to get them or do I have to wait a whole year? Or download a non-official copy of the mod?

    Allys building foundations can block you from building

    Posted: 07 Aug 2020 01:34 AM PDT

    So I was playing a game and I was helping to defend his base and I was trying to place gate but he had allready placed wall to be build over there.

    When has it become that you can place foundations and they prevent others from building even before they have started building it?

    Why do experienced/advanced players join and want to play in lobbies specifically entitled 'noobs only?'

    Posted: 07 Aug 2020 02:59 AM PDT

    Title really, I'm fairly new to DE and have had a lot of 3v3/4v4 games ruined by one guy who snuck in as like a 1800 elo player.

    I'm open to playing 100-200+ elo on me, to teach me a lesson, but if he thinks he's doing us a favour by learning, we aren't. I'd never really find enjoyment playing beginners in the games/sports I'm good at.

    I know there's ways around this such as elo checking (but sometimes it's broken) and only playing ranked games. Not asking for ways around it, just curious what you guys think the rationale is behind these players.

    Chat filter needs to be fixed. It filters things like "gg" yet this racial slur somehow wasn't considered offensive. I reported in game

    Players abusing pause game? Will reported players get banned?

    Posted: 07 Aug 2020 08:07 AM PDT

    Players abusing pause game? Will reported players get banned?

    tl;dr: I reported a player who attempted to use pause game tactics to make me resign. Have others seen this? Will players actually get banned when reported for this?

    Backstory: played a 1v1 about 2 weeks ago that was very close. Lots of swings both directions. Towards late game I took some good engagements and when it looked like the game was going in my favour the opposing player started pausing the game. They would leave it paused for long periods of time, occasionally chatting or unpausing to see if I was still there. Their English was not good but they were clearly stalling the game to make me resign. Attached is one of several screenshots I took.

    I was feeling stubborn and after 30+ minutes of waiting for the pausing/unpausing to stop I lost my patience and reported the player, after which pausing seemed disabled and then we played out the game. I closed it out with a win but it was still a close game. So strange to me that the player still had the chance to win legitimately and they chose to ruin what would otherwise be a really entertaining game. Checking the player's profile they have 1000+ games and play ~10 games a day. 2 weeks later they are sill not banned. I can only speculate but I can't imagine this was a one time thing. I'm not the first victim and won't be the last.

    @ players have you seen this type of thing before? I've only seen it once in my ~150 games.

    @ devs will players reported for this get banned?

    Stupid question about straggler trees

    Posted: 07 Aug 2020 07:21 AM PDT

    Why is it considered so bad to cut the straggler trees first and after that build a lumber camp at the woodline? I've never actually done that but I don't think it would be that inefficient, with the benefit that you can place your place your farms more efficient.

    Feudal Doesn’t Last Long Enough

    Posted: 06 Aug 2020 05:21 PM PDT

    Does anyone else think that the Feudal age doesn't last long enough?

    It's over in the blink of an eye in so many games.

    Why did my game crash? [multiplayer]

    Posted: 07 Aug 2020 06:16 AM PDT

    tried multiplayer for the first time (me and friend vs AI), game froze after 40 minutes, and then it crashed to desktop. Never had any problems in single player so I would tend to exclude hardware issues, though it did happen when the action got a bit hectic (was ramming down buildings). Do online matches require more processing power for some reason? or is this a known bug that can affect people regardless of their specs? I have a laptop with i7 6700HQ, 16 gb of ram and Nvidia 960m, I think that's well over the minimum requirements

    thanks
