New sheep spawn in Arabia is so aggravating Posted: 05 Oct 2020 12:59 AM PDT I'm okay with open Arabia, but the way they changed the sheep spawn is nonsensical, as it makes the game far more dependent on luck. In both pro games and at my level (1200ish) it seems you have about a 50 percent chance of finding all your sheep, and a comparably good chance of finding all your sheep plus a couple of your opponent's. Thats cuz the radius in which they can spawn is now so wide that there's no way to ensure you'll find yours in a reasonable amount of time (And yes I know to explore the front first.) If you find them quickly its cus you got lucky. I'm all for a little chance, I just don't like how luck has become a major factor at a decisive stage of the game. submitted by /u/Zircillius [link] [comments]

CASTLE AGE - Which Civilization Lacks Which Upgrades ? Posted: 05 Oct 2020 06:15 AM PDT I made a list of civilizations and upgrades. I think it's gonna be helpful. I excluded battle elephants and steppe lancers from stable, but camel riders are important in castle age to counter knights. This list is just "educational" . In competitive play, some of the upgrades are never researched. For example, treadmill crane and heated shot are upgraded very rarely but lacking thumb ring means archers will fall behind from other civs with thumb ring. Exact opposite is true also, for example, Khmer lacks thumb ring but lots of players go crossbows-arbalests with them because they have every other upgrade available. Civ eco bonuses are far far far more important than the "shaft mining" upgrades. For new players, i will write comments about "important" upgrades. AZTECS Archery Range Cavalry archer X Thumb ring X Stable Completely lacks it Blacksmith Cavalry upgrades are lacking (naturally) University Masonry X BERBERS Monastery Sanctity X BRITONS Archery Range Thumb ring X Stable Bloodlines X Camel Rider X University Treadmill Crane X Monastery Redemption X Atonement X Heresy X Economy Stone Shaft Mining X BULGARIANS Archery Range Crossbowman X Stable Camel Rider X University Fortified Wall X Treadmill Crane X Monastery Atonement X Sanctity X BURMESE Archery Range Thumb Ring X Stable Camel Rider X Blacksmith Second Archer Armor X Monastery Heresy X Economy Stone Shaft Mining X BYZANTINES Stable Bloodlines X University Masonry X Heated Shot X Treadmill Crane X Monastery Herbal Medicine X CELTS Archery Range Thumb Ring X Stable Bloodlines X Camel Rider X Monastery Redemption X Atonement X CHINESE Barracks Supplies X University Treadmill Crane X Monastery Redemption X Heresy X CUMANS Barracks Supplies X Stable Husbandry X (already %10 faster because of the civ bonus) University Fortified Wall X (lacks stone walls too) Guard Tower X Treadmill Crane X Monastery Redemption X Economy Stone Shaft Mining X ETHIOPIANS Stable Bloodlines X University Treadmill Crane X Monastery Redemption X FRANKS Archery Range Thumb Ring X Stable Bloodlines X (Knight-line already has "free bloodlines", but scout-line falls behind other civs with bloodlines) Camel Rider X University Heated Shot X Monastery Redemption X Atonement X Economy Stone Shaft Mining X GOTHS Archery Range Thumb Ring X Barracks Supplies X Arson X Stable Camel Rider X University Fortified Wall X (lacks stone walls too) Guard Tower X Treadmill Crane X Monastery Redemption X Atonement X Heresy X Economy Gold Shaft Mining X HUNS Barracks Supplies X Stable Camel Riders X University Fortified Wall X Guard Tower X Heated Shot X Treadmill Crane X Monastery Redemption X Herbal Medicine X Economy Stone Shaft Mining X INCAS Archery Range Cavalry Archer X Stable Lacks everything Blacksmith Lacks cavalry upgrades Monastery Atonement X Fervor X INDIANS Stable Knight-line X University Treadmill Crane X Monastery Atonement X ITALIANS Stable Camel Rider X Monastery Heresy X Economy Gold Shaft Mining X JAPANESE Stable Camel Rider X University Heated Shot X Monastery Heresy X Economy Stone Shaft Mining X KHMER Archery Range Thumb Ring X Barracks Supplies X Stable Camel Rider X Monastery Atonement X Heresy X KOREANS Stable Bloodlines X Camel Rider X Dock Demolition-line X Monastery Redemption X Atonement X Heresy X LITHUANIANS Barracks Supplies X Stable Camel Rider X Economy Gold Shaft Mining X MAGYARS Barracks Supplies X Stable Camel Rider X University Fortified Wall X Monastery Redemption X Atonement X Economy Stone Shaft Mining X MALAY Stable Bloodlines X Camel Rider X Blacksmith Second cavalry armor X University Fortified Wall X Treadmill Crane X Monastery Fervor X MALIANS THIS CIV HAS EVERY CASTLE AGE UPGRADE AVALIABLE MAYANS Archer Range Cavalry Archer X Barracks Supplies X Stable Completely lacks it Blacksmith Cavalry upgrades are missing Monastery Redemption X Economy Gold Shaft Mining X MONGOLS Barracks Supplies University Heated Shot X Treadmill Crane X Monastery Redemption X Sanctity X PERSIANS University Fortified Wall X Treadmill Crane X Monastery Redemption X Atonement X Heresy X Sanctity X PORTUGUESE Barracks Squires X Stable Camel Rider X Economy Gold Shaft Mining X SARACENS University Heated Shot X Economy Stone Shaft Mining X SLAVS Archery Range Thumb Ring X Stable Camel Rider X University Heated Shot X Monastery Heresy X Economy Stone Shaft Mining X SPANISH Archery Range Crossbowman X Stable Camel Rider X University Heated Shot X Treadmill Crane X Economy Gold Shaft Mining TATARS Barracks Supplies X Blacksmith Second infantry armor Monastery Redemption X Heresy X Sanctity X Economy Stone Shaft Mining X TEUTONS Archery Range Thumb Ring X Stable Husbandry X Light Cavalry X Economy Stone Shaft Mining X TURKS Archery Range Elite Skirmisher X Barracks Pikeman X Monastery Herbal Medicine X Economy Stone Shaft Mining X VIETNAMESE Stable Camel Rider X University Masonry Monastery Redemption X Heresy X Fervor X Economy Gold Shaft Mining X VIKINGS Stable Bloodlines X Camel Rider X Husbandry X Dock Fire ship line X Monastery Redemption X Herbal Medicine X Sanctity X Economy Stone Shaft Mining X submitted by /u/crowd1est [link] [comments]

How can a ranked match end with no results? Posted: 05 Oct 2020 06:40 AM PDT I'm just curious. I played a ranked game yesterday, and got no points at the end of it. My opponent was higher rated then me, and I won. He did not drop, but resigned. I know that sometimes it takes some time to update but this time it did not (I've played other matches after this one). On aoe2.net and aoe2.club the match is marked 'no result' Is this common? And is there any reason for it? submitted by /u/Gtf16 [link] [comments]

Live Twitch Streams Are Back On The Sidebar.. Hype? Posted: 04 Oct 2020 05:22 PM PDT Hello beloved community, First off I'd like to thank the moderation team for their trust and having me in. It's an honor!! In case you did not notice.. Live Twitch streams are back on the sidebar. It looks a little bit fancier than the deprecated method but there's certainly room for improvement. Here is a quick look: Reddit Sidebar for Twitch Live Streams of AoE2 I made a tiny bot in python/c# that runs on my computer and updates the "LiveStreams" sidebar every 5 minutes. Until I host it on a dedicated server so it's 24/7 updated. So when my computer is off (from 2:00 AM to 11:30 AM GMT+1) the live streams sidebar is not updated until I turn on my PC. Well this is temporary prior to finding a dedicated server because running this bot on shared or free hosting will get us suspended. submitted by /u/greg_stream [link] [comments]

Managing Eco Posted: 05 Oct 2020 08:46 AM PDT Hi all, I'm hoping the subject is correct, unsure if I'm getting my wording mixed up. I'm rated around 1100 1v1 elo but I firmly believe this is because I started at 1200 and not played a massive amount of games (around 15-20 1v1). What seems to happen every game is that I start to follow my build order (dark age seem to have no problems) and when I reach feudal I quickly have large amount of res which I haven't spent I.e wood and food. I am constantly building villagers so I don't feel as if the problem is lying there. Am I not building enough military units at the correct time or something? Not enough military buildings? Is there a set guide for this or am I just not following my build orders correctly? Any advice will be greatly appreciated and I apologise if I have made any errors on wording or anything in the post. Thanks submitted by /u/ZachPar [link] [comments]

Top tips for noobs on how to improve Posted: 05 Oct 2020 04:55 AM PDT What tips would you give new or low Elo players on how to improve? What's most important do you Think in getting passed 1000 Elo? submitted by /u/MorleyGames [link] [comments]

Do you also feel the "pressure of the pros" more than ever before? Posted: 05 Oct 2020 08:35 AM PDT I don't know if it is just me, but - after watching some of the KotD3 games now - I get the impression, that there are somehow a little more "nervous" decisions/pre-emptive insecurities happening in the matches than usual - especially when a player is lower seeded BUT actually in that moment is quite in a lead. [SOME INDIRECT SPOILERS TO KOTD3 FOLLOWING!] I don't know: for example PROject_belgium vs Hera first Game of their series. I dunno if I was influenced by the casters but somehow one could really feel how careful PROject_belgium was just because he knew it's Hera. But he was cleary doing a very good job and was in a good position. Of course: its Hera, everybody knows he is freaking good - but maybe like, a few months ago, the "fear" would not be so strong - I mean with everything that is happening in the Top5 right know? (another example would be Villese vs Hera --> Villese doing a really great job at times and than seem to be so afraid of Hera? also Mbls interview about the pressure he feels lines up into my perpection here...) Or to put it otherwise: since Viper be beaten recently by two different players (I know its been Empire Wars and everything) is the mind of the pro now changing from: "Viper I have to fear the most" to "Shit, I have to fear also Lieerey, Hera, Yo as if there were 'vipers'?" I know those matches are top notch concentration and we just sit there, pointing out every mistake beeing like: "What did he just doooo?" - I know, that is not what I mean, it has always been like that. I mean more like: it just feels more dense and nervous somehow than for example NAC3 or so...? What you guys think about this? 1? 2? 7? 11? Thx for reading ! submitted by /u/WeeCube [link] [comments]

I think I just had a 7 sheep arabia game Posted: 05 Oct 2020 08:12 AM PDT I think I had a 4+2+1 sheep game, where one of the sheep groups only spawned one sheep. The settings are standard arabia. We were playing a 2v1, but I tried that with AI and the sheep count was normal (8), and the other two players all had 8 sheep in this game. Bug or feature? This was taken 1 second into the game btw, and nothing on the replay showed (unrealistically fast) laming. https://preview.redd.it/je4oss5qkar51.jpg?width=2551&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b61eb84e7602a27fbab79a6f45fb19b53806a85d https://preview.redd.it/rj7q0jfgkar51.jpg?width=2554&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=32cd1e18a05d30a019d662e5daa3830dfcd9056b submitted by /u/V5RM [link] [comments]

In the first Joan mission, what is the point of the Burgundian castle in the top right? Posted: 05 Oct 2020 07:34 AM PDT Do we get any benefits from destroying it? It just seems so out of place. submitted by /u/RamandAu [link] [comments]

IamChris and F1Re Joint Training Sessions Posted: 04 Oct 2020 10:22 AM PDT Chris and F1Re are putting on some joint training sessions for small groups of players. The first one will be for 6 players (first to sign up) on Saturday October 10 at 16 GMT. We will be reviewing recorded games, discussing strategy, hotkeys, improvements, and anything else for 3 hours. We find that similar rated players will all have many common things to work on. This first session is intended for ratings from approximately 850 to 1150. If you are outside the range, you will still likely get some good value out of it, but there will be other sessions in the future with other rating ranges as the focus. If you are interested in joining, please email chris.age2.de@gmail.com. The session costs $45 USD. Please include two recorded games for us to review. submitted by /u/IamChris_TwitchTV [link] [comments]

UNLIMITED POWERRRRRR Posted: 05 Oct 2020 06:05 AM PDT submitted by /u/Royal-Noble-96 [link] [comments]

Barracks Spawn point always same direction. Posted: 05 Oct 2020 02:16 AM PDT When I spawn garrison my units in a barracks and set their gather point to the south of a barracks, they always seem to spawn in the north. This is really annoying as my barracks is often part of my forward wall. I need those spears spawning in my base, not outside the base. They now have to walk to the nearest hole to support. Anybody else have this issue? submitted by /u/Fitfatthin [link] [comments]

Not seeing pretzels? Check your other mods Posted: 04 Oct 2020 07:43 PM PDT For the Teuton event, I unlocked the final challenge (to capture a relic in the Barbarossa Brawl). I see the challenge checked off on the list, and see the mod in my mods list, but I don't see any pretzels coming out of the onagers. I just realized while typing this post that the reason is doubtless because I have a larger stones mod on! I'm posting anyone in case any of y'all have the same issue. submitted by /u/ansibil [link] [comments]

Question regarding mod installation Posted: 05 Oct 2020 12:25 AM PDT Hello all, I wanted to install my first mod on AoE2 DE, but im not able to make it work. I don't know if it comes from the mod or a bad installation. I want to use this mod in a custom scenario im building :https://www.ageofempires.com/mods/details/15170/ It basically turn one of the water texture into lava. But despite installing the mod directly from the game and chossing it from the checkbox in the bottom right on the scenario loading page, it's doesnt seem to work. None of my water texture changed I've already restarted the game submitted by /u/Junctionbe [link] [comments]
