    King of the Desert Semifinals & Grand Final

    Hello everyone, after having the most incredible Quarterfinals last weekend, we are facing a crazy semifinals this one.

    To be Fair any of the players has gain their spot and, MbL, Liereyy and Mr.Yo would be no surprise at all to be there, is the way they reach the semifinals how matters at all, the 4th is a incredible Villese.

    MbL - he has literally destroyed literally everyone during the tournament.

    Liereyy - after losing in group stage vs DauT, people starting to think that maybe wasn´t liereyy tournament but then played vs Hera one of the best series in the tournament to win 3-2 and advance to the last stage.

    Mr_Yo - wasnt best performance in the event, doubts vs sitaux, not playing the best durint group stage and also losing 3-2 with MbL, made him to face TheViper on Quarterfinals, but oh well, what a series he did vs the Snake.

    Villese - well he only lost vs Hera in 1st game but providing already a great performance, then he win 3-0 vs ViVi and TaToH, and then when he was 0-2 vs DauT in Quarterfinals, he came back from nowhere to put a 3-2.

    With this Scenario we have a incredible Semifinals this Saturday at 13:00 GMT, with a total 50.000$ prize pool. (Pinztec & Microsot)

    MbL vs Villese - cocaster Moonfaller (biggest surprise as cocaster during the event) Best of 7

    Liereyy vs Mr_Yo - cocaster Dave (who doesn´t know the amazing Canadian) Best of 7

    Then the winners will face on Sunday, 15:00 GMT - cocaster Jordan, yeah he is also back for Casting. Bes of 11

    It’s people like this who are heroes. If only I took another 10 seconds before I resigned ��. My baby was due to sleep another hour or so but woke up early, instead of happily taking my elo this guy was going to let me play. Thank you friend if you. Ever want a rematch I’m keen for it ��

    Daut's KotD3 Interview

    Posted: 23 Oct 2020 07:21 AM PDT

    We all love a good meme or two around Daut, but watching his interview, which was as usual, hilarious, made me so sad about the storylines that could have been!

    Seems like Daut really wanted that last shot at the title, I'm sad he missed out on getting to the finals. Also him talking about getting there, and beating Viper in the finals then retiring. I think in a parallel universe where that storyline played out, it would be the single greatest event in AoE history. Just a lifetime of Daut shit talking "that little boy" LOL. I would have had a smile on my face for years (said as a Viper fan).

    Still really excited to watch the weekend play out. But my heart breaks that no storyline (bar maybe MbL getting a big tournament win) will approach the levels of juicyness that Daut beating Viper then retiring could have acheived.

    This streamer is close to 1400 with a PS4 controller. Turns out you don't need high to be in the top 10%

    This streamer is close to 1400 with a PS4 controller. Turns out you don't need high to be in the top 10%

    Error in the title - it should be "High APM to be in the top 10%".

    Now I feel even worse about my skill range with a mouse and keyboard.

    Halloween showmatch! 1400 ELOs Flempopo and Zupamann battle it out

    Halloween showmatch! 1400 ELOs Flempopo and Zupamann battle it out

    https://preview.redd.it/vf2153fkruu51.jpg?width=1200&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=af6bf5aa8f698d22cfb87df1504c0bc4d98c7010

    Welcome to a Halloween themed showmatch at Halloween itself, October 31st, starting 14 GMT!

    I am a caster/streamer currently around 1300 ELO, and I like to give people around my own level some attention on stream. Therefore, a Halloween themed showmatch will be cast at my channel https://www.twitch.tv/akkalno on October 31st.

    The players combatting through this BO 7 are Flempopo and Zupamannn, both currently around 1400 ELO 1v1.

    General settings will be random map, normal speed, but with a mix of standard maps, and a set of maps seen in a recent tournament: Necropolis grail. First game is hidden civ, but after that there's a twist to the draft - the loser picks the map, the winner picks two civs, and the loser gets to pick which one to play!

    Maps: Graveyards, ES_Moats, Necro_Arena, Necro_Teutoburg, Necro_Danube, Baltic, Hideout

    Hope to see you stopping by!

    Discord server/communities to join?

    Posted: 23 Oct 2020 02:37 AM PDT

    Hi guys, newbie here again. I really appreciate all the responses from the last post! Been playing more and mentally preparing myself for multiplayer.

    Age community feels really cool but I have no idea how people connect with each other here. Are there discord servers that you can join? Like how do people play with each other? Dumb question from a tiny brain league player hehe :p

    I finally am not stressed anymore by multiplayer

    Posted: 22 Oct 2020 01:57 PM PDT

    Because I stopped ranked 1v1 entirely and switched to 5 humans vs 3 extreme unranked. What a pleasure. It's so relaxing! Want to try out new civilizations or strategies? No problem, you have an entire hour to make your 60 Khmer scorpions. It feels like I'm back playing like a little kid (i.e. cheesy) but that's so tranquil.

    Hearttt Getting Tilted (Mostly Against Hoang) Compilation

    Matchmaking in this game is pure trash

    Posted: 23 Oct 2020 08:08 AM PDT

    I understand I'll get the usual replies to this like "its a product of its time", "the game is 20 years old" etc etc but the team and solo matchmaking in this game is terrible. When it comes to team games there doesn't seem to be anything in place to stop boosting other than reduced elo loss so in many games you can match up with people far above your own skill level since they have a team mate who is much lower than you. This means that from the very start of the game the chances of you winning are next to zero.

    The solo matchmaking is bad for a different reason, mainly due to the fact that if you are stuck within the 1k elo range then you are truly in elo hell as every single person who starts the game from scratch will begin at this elo, this would usually be fine but unfortunately the game has been out for so long that many of the people who start playing DE are already really good at it which means if you manage to win a few games at 1k you could get unlucky and auto lose your next as your playing against someone who is supposed to be at 1.5k etc.

    Many games do a far better job at calibration than this one and actually have systems in place to make the game more fair, just because the game is old doesn't mean it shouldn't be held to a higher standard considering they still have people working on it.

    An example for a fix for the solo matchmaking would be to have much higher elo swings that correspond to your in game statistics, have a way to see how well a player performed etc and base that and the fact that they won the game into the equation that gives them more elo. that way you wont get people like Hera climbing through the ranks on their 5th alt account destroying everyone in their path. Some might say that everyone should be made to climb the ranks and that it wouldn't be fair to let players jump ahead to their correct elo (that's how calibration is suppose to work). This would still result in some unfair games but would definitely reduce them.

    You will have no chance of winning against these people, they should be put in their correct elo bracket as quickly as possible.

    when it comes to team games just make it so you have to be in a certain elo range to play with people in your party, this seems like common sense.

    I know this topic has had plenty of posts about it and me writing this wont change anything but just felt like I had to voice my opinion as I really like this game but the matchmaking makes me not want to play it sometimes which is a real shame. I dont even mind losing elo, i just want to play a fair game and not get stomped out of nowhere every 5th game i play.

    How to defend walling vill?

    Posted: 23 Oct 2020 07:53 AM PDT

    So I just got wrecked because my walling vill got taken out by my opponent's scout while I was luring my second boar. I had not expected this at my level (1100), certainly not so early. Maybe he got lucky with finding his sheep and got to me so quickly, but anyways he managed to kill my vill which was exposed and had no back up nearby. Do you have any tips on defending against this?

    Is the "I was in China before" Achievement still bugged?

    Posted: 23 Oct 2020 01:26 AM PDT

    I tried it 2 times and defeated yellow before they deleted the blacksmiths in the middle of their base (which is the same trigger that makes them build the wonder) and didn't get the achievement
    Edit: I was playing on hard

    New unit proposal: hammer infantry line

    Posted: 23 Oct 2020 07:09 AM PDT

    Maybe the only infantry line present between India to Europe and the Middle East but abscent from AOE2.

    • Pros: good against siege units.
    • Cons: slow foot unit.

    Training: Barracks

    Civs: Indians, Persians, Sarracens, Turks, Vikings, Franks, Britons, Teutons, Slavs, Byzantines, Incans, Berebers, Ethiopians

    Tech Tree:

    • Castle:
      • Warhammer soldier [unit]: slow foot infantry soldier equiped with a war hammer, that deal more damage against siege weapons.
      • Spiked hammer [tech]: hammer soldier line increases resistance against damage from siege weapons and towers.
    • Imperial:
      • Upgrade to Maul Soldier [tech]: upgrades the Warhammer Soldier to Maul Soldier.
      • Maul Soldier [unit]: slow foot infantry soldier with bonification against siege weapons, specially against rams and siege towers.
      • Flail [tech]: hammer soldier line increased damage against Monastery, University and Market.

    American civilizations (aztecs, mayans and incans) can have a light variant of the warhammer infantry line, but without techs or upgrades:

    • Castle:
      • Quetzal Lancer [unit]: a halberdier-like infantry unit equipped with a obsidian head lance, with bonus damage against siege and gunpowder units. Quicker than the Old World version but with less damage per hit.

    (Quick salt post) I despise griefers..

    Posted: 23 Oct 2020 06:44 AM PDT

    Just ran into some "teammate" who went up to my TC in Dark Age and walled it off. No real way out of that one, just instalost for no fault of my own.

    Is there anything I can do aside from report and pray to the gods he gets permabanned ?

    (also quick note, why are Black Forest team maps automatically on Explored ? )

    What to do with a Knight lead?

    Posted: 22 Oct 2020 06:54 PM PDT

    1000 elo here. When you're clearly ahead in castle age with 20 or so knights running circles around his eco, what should you do to finish the job?

    More knights? If so how many to take down the TC?

    Rams?

    Imp?

    It depends?
