    Can we get a pinned thread just for memes?

    Posted: 12 Sep 2020 01:05 AM PDT

    There seems to frequently be discussions about whether memes are good or bad on this sub with the result usually being 'there's the 10% of the home page rule which keeps them in check' or 'if the people don't like memes they will be downvoted'.

    As someone who likes a good meme every now and then I think it's getting out of hand. I want to be able to see proper discussions about a game I love (This time I came looking for discussion about the Gamer Legion team announcement). Instead I see the same memes over and over again about how my pocket is booming or my base is being destroyed while I micro 2 archers.

    As an example here's a screenshot of my front page. There's only 2 non meme posts in the top half (3 of them are the same meme!) Much more than 10%. https://imgur.com/a/L9ee5WA

    I think the best solution for this would be to have a pinned weekly thread exclusively for memes.

    Comparison of Feudal and Post-Imperial age eco bonuses

    Comparison of Feudal and Post-Imperial age eco bonuses

    So I was bored and figured I'd like to find out exactly how good a Viking/Aztec/Khmer/Slav eco is, compared to the generic civs, and to each other. I created a scenario to test exactly that.

    My main reason for this is checking out how much eco you can mass up while you age up to Castle. I have taken 18 Farmers, 10 lumberjacks over 2 lumber camps, and 8 gold miners.

    I have assumed Double bit axe is already researched and hence triggered its forced research from the start.

    The Castle age uptime is about 2:45 minutes so I checked the resources gathered in that time for these civs. At 2:45 min mark the villagers force drop the resources.

    The results are kind of surprising:

    For Feudal Age:

    I was expecting Khmer to do much better than Vikings here. Also it is quite surprising that all these eco bonuses dont affect wood, gold and stone too much.

    Now for Post imperial comparison:

    https://preview.redd.it/yo1mdzb1cpm51.png?width=499&format=png&auto=webp&s=78604038311d9b9c4fbf174409bcb87e7d10f5fc

    It seems in Post imperial, with the research upgrades, generic civs can come close to being as efficient as Khmer, but Slavs still win by a large margin. This is because after Heavy plow and handcart, Farmers carry 21 food so the trips to drop it off are reduced by half, on top of 21% faster movement.

    CONCLUSION:

    What do you do as flank when you have a booming pocket.

    Posted: 12 Sep 2020 01:40 AM PDT

    I just played a 4v4 as Mayans while my pocket went Khmer. My pocket was really great however the other side Mongols and Goths both boomed after feudal aggression. So their opposing pocket player kept sending knights to me while my pocket faced his guy. My enemy flank would have been dead if not for that.

    I'd love to hear the opinions of more experienced players as to how they react when their pocket is booming. Especially when there is a language barrier or for some reason, they aren't responding to chat. Is it possible to hold out 2v1? And if so what would you do to ensure you survive?

    Are Saracens the most aggressive Civ?

    Posted: 12 Sep 2020 05:01 AM PDT

    Without Eco Bonuses, the Markettrick to sell Stone and rush Units in Feudal + the Ability to fight through Simcity with Archers makes Saracens the most aggressive Civ, even more aggressive than Huns. Their early Aggression can be very versitile.

    Opinions on most aggressive Civs?

    Is There a Way to Play Empire Wars in Ranked Ladder Games?

    Posted: 12 Sep 2020 04:47 AM PDT

    Empire Wars seems like a great game mode, takes away some of that monotony of the early game while leaving all the fun parts there, and not actually changing anything about the game.

    Is there an easy way to play it ranked, without downloading any maps yourself, etc?

    How to move screen while paused

    Posted: 12 Sep 2020 03:01 AM PDT

    If someone pauses the game for a few minutes and you wanna move around the map cause theres nothing better to do there is a way.
    Move your mouse to the edge of the screen in the direction you want to go, zoom in, move mouse to opposite edge of screen and zoom out. So if you want to go left, move mouse left, zoom in, mouse mouse right and zoom out. Its a slow way to get about but if the game is gonna be paused for a while then why not. Hope this helps.
