    You should be able to vote for a draw

    Posted: 28 Aug 2020 06:20 PM PDT

    I keep having games which go to a stalemate. We're both just producing mass halbs and skirms, sniping each others trebs, the markets are topped, and no one is making any ground either way. These trash wars are so boring and sometimes it just comes down to whoever runs out of wood first.

    When it's been an hour and a half, and you're still in the middle of a trash war, you should be able to call a vote with the other player and mutually agree to a tie.

    I know most people will say I should just learn to change strategy and win the trash war, but if both players agree to call a draw, then I don't see the problem with it.

    New streamer / caster taking casting requests

    Posted: 29 Aug 2020 05:09 AM PDT

    Hi there, fellow AOE II redditors! I recently started streaming AOE II. I came back to the game last year, after having played it quite a bit back in 2002-04, both on LAN and online. I enjoy both playing and casting, and would happily cast good game submissions on my stream, whether it be for learning purposes or just simply a good, entertaining game!

    Currently I'm casting Desert Cup and Necropolis Grail, but there's always rooom for more content.

    Feel free to stop by at the stream at https://www.twitch.tv/akkalno, or at my discord to drop your submitted game to be casted: https://discord.gg/AHUJFCm

    For the record my 1v1 ELO is in the 1200-1300 range atm, so I won't claim any extraordinary coaching abilities, but I hope to see you around and provide some entertaining casts!

    AOE II DE without the enhanced graphics pack

    Posted: 29 Aug 2020 04:47 AM PDT

    Hello everyone, Does anyone know what is the computer requirement for aoe2 de without the graphics pack. I saw in a SOTL video that with graphics pack the total space required is around40 gb. So without the enhancement pack can the game run on older computers ?

    AOE2DE performance estimation? Comparable games?

    Posted: 29 Aug 2020 06:28 AM PDT

    I'm thinking of buying a new laptop for myself, and I'm wondering what kind of specs you'd need to work with aoe2de on mid/high settings on 1440p @60fps. I'd want to keep the 60fps up for most of the game, but I know late game 8 player games can get a bit taxing. I'm thinking of the following specs:

    i7-10750h

    Rtx 2060 max-q

    32gb RAM

    Does anyone have any idea of whether this is ok? Any way to estimate performance based on specs for this game? Any games that perform similarly? Would a 2070 max-q make a difference?

    AoE2 DE: Lf 1-3 players for Arena, Arabia, ... team games

    Posted: 29 Aug 2020 06:16 AM PDT

    As the title suggests. I am looking for people to regularely team up with for team games. Voice chat would be cool as well. I am currently in time zone UTC+2, so a similar timezone would be great as well. I currently prefer to play Arena and Arabia with Arena being the prefered map in the lobby. Let me know if you wann join up :)

    Silly question.

    Posted: 29 Aug 2020 03:47 AM PDT

    Ok, I'm pretty sure I know the answer to this but I just want to make sure.

    Is the Archer line considered as infantry. I'm thinking NO. Is this correct. They don't seem to be affected by squires but I just want to be certain as 10% speed increase isn't a lot.

    Humble request to the community- (1) Can we stop imposing our styles on each other, (2) see end of post

    Posted: 28 Aug 2020 11:49 PM PDT

    EDIT: Fix clipboard

    Hello

    Games are meant for fun. It seems, however, that a small vocal section of community, (usually the anonymous guys not very well known in community) impose a lot of things, asking for games to be changed in a way that specifically changes existing strategies because they are not comfortable with them.

    I want to say we are all having fun in the game and its okay to ask for more fun avenues, but not okay to ask for nerfing valid existing strategies. One example is tower rush, no nobody likes getting rushed. I want to make paladins, and sometimes let my opponent live just so I can see those majestic beasts, seriously, no joke. But stones are not dropping from skies. If the opponent is making towers, his eco is a mess, go hurt him. If he can make a 172 res tower near "your" gold, go find another gold and spend 100 res for a camp. This is a very specific example but my point is that try to think, don't try to win.

    Number (2) suggestion- please don't drop words and make authoritative statements unless I have some way to know your knowledge. I mean it happens so often that people just make claims that are not based in reality, purely based on guesswork. It's insulting to the rest of the community because you choose to assume that there is nobody else who has more experience than you. Often some more experienced players, out of a sense of community correct the wrong claims but the claimant only doubles down. Maybe we need some kinda of Elo flair, as I recall having seen earlier. This at least tells you who is making good faith argument vs who is new....

    Mods could you allow custom flair text please, that would be really nice ...

    Not progressing in summer event?

    Posted: 29 Aug 2020 05:45 AM PDT

    Hello everyone,

    ​

    As the title suggests, the summer event is not working for me. I Have played and won games by Ethiopians, Berbers, and Malians and have yet to unlock the next tier of the event. I've played these games over multiple days and have been logged into windows live the whole time, and ive also tried logging out and back in for no success.

    ​

    Thanks for any help

    aoe2techtree.net up to date?

    Posted: 29 Aug 2020 05:40 AM PDT

    I have been relying on aoe2techtree.net but I just noticed the "Version: Age of Empires II DE Update 39284" Have there not been any balance changes since that update, or is this page out of date? And if so, where is an easy place to get civ info? Thanks!

    Petards are NOT infantry

    Posted: 29 Aug 2020 07:39 AM PDT

    Lost my mind trying to complete "numerous as the grains of sand" achievement on hard, after several hundred huskarls died i walked away and came back, created a ton of petards and beatthe level.... wait why haven't i got the achievement?

    That's right in a moment of insanity i thought walking on two legs counted as infantry... that's an hour and a half down the drain...

    DAMMIT

    Back to it!

    how to counter this strat?

    Posted: 29 Aug 2020 03:53 AM PDT

    Hi guys

    So just played a 2v2 game in arena. I was playing the franks, was trying to fast castle and then castle drop, break his gate with petards and knight rush. Enemy team was cumans and britons. I never really expect feudal age aggression in arena, but suddenly before I could even upgrade to castle age cumans player had sent rams and the britons player had quite a few archers. At that point all I had was a barracks and a stable. Rams made quick work of my gate and it was kind of over from there. I couldn't produce units fast enough to deal with the aggression. I tried to quickly make scouts, but there were too many archers for the 5 scouts that i managed to make and the rams basically cleaned my base. How would you counter this strat?

    Seems that AoE2 has levelled off at the pre-corona player numbers

    I lost elo not even playing the game. Not that it matters, just curious what happened?

    Ranked team games currently almost unplayable - 50-80% drop rate

    Posted: 28 Aug 2020 01:32 PM PDT

    Ever since the last patch ranked games (especially team 4v4) have been almost impossible to play for me. Almost every game somebody drops after a few seconds. When I drop I get this message: https://i.imgur.com/nABPOl9.png

    I know this is another whine post about bugs but every second patch the multiplayer experience is ruined somehow.
