    Age of Empires II Realistic castles


    Realistic castles

    Posted: 13 Oct 2020 04:46 AM PDT

    Don't know if this is anything note worthy, but I realized that the castle building actually resembles a real life keep - the central tower in most medieval fortresses which acted as the castle's "last retreat".

    So to build a real realistic castle in aoe 2 one has to actually build walls and a gate - 1 layer or more - around the castle building then build several towers at different corners. Plus maybe a barracks and stable for good measure.

    A textbook example in real life is Dover (https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn%3AANd9GcTrJdpVbEz3QdnMKXyWYGhMWOGdFzpGrYDhxw&usqp=CAU). This stronghold still resembles the way it looked centuries back.

    It makes sense however that the castle building is a keep since I read that most real castles BEGAN with the keep - they would then expand it by building the outer curtain walls and if they wanted even more protection, a second layer of walls - so if you build castles this way in the game, i.e. starting with the castle then walling and towering it, it is actually the realistic way to do it.

    Arambai are unstoppable in low elo, Burmese is the definitive low elo civ

    Posted: 12 Oct 2020 07:40 PM PDT

    Not a vent, im the Burmese player, the 32 +2 castle build into arambai is too good, only really being countered by mass archers. Not only that but the build is soo easy to pull off, barely any techs required, barely any buildings required, and the stone rush means I can and would have enough stone to place guard towers in case of a rush. Plus not to mention due to its low food dependence I can literally afk my eco at a certain point and just worry about microing the arambai. What rating do you guys think I can get to before my opponents start winning consistently against it because at the moment I can guarantee im besting people who I should be losing to if I were to play any other civ. S/O slamjam for the build.

    How cool would a Bombard Castle be

    Posted: 12 Oct 2020 07:56 PM PDT

    For Portuguese/Turks/Italians. It could be a unique tech or something that turns your regular castle into a super OP one that fires 2-3 cannons at once (or maybe just 1 but with a faster reload than BBT)

    Who's the best xbox player?

    Posted: 13 Oct 2020 07:24 AM PDT

    So we all know that Microsoft Store players are considered trash, but I was wondering, who are the strongest players proudly displaying the xbox logo in ranked? What is their rating? Is the stereotype true?

    Do leavers in team games get +rating if their team wins?

    Posted: 12 Oct 2020 05:26 PM PDT

    Basically as title says.

    I was playing a 4v4 and our team was winning. Our red flank was supported by me (the closest pocket) while our two other players were full attacking.

    We had 3 players attacking us so we eventually caved but with strategic castles we held on a loooong time. By the time our red was almost wiped out, our team had wiped out two of them (who quit).

    Even though the game was now 4v2, red quit because his base was gone. We ended up winning because it was 3v2 by that point, but what happens to red? His team won, but hes a leaver and shouldnt get points.

    My suspicion is that he gets points despite leaving. Can anyone confirm?

    Are there any high ELO games where both players start out in Post Imperial?

    Posted: 12 Oct 2020 06:19 PM PDT

    I'm just wondering what the best civs would be in the case of starting with everything upgraded and how pro players would change their tactics. Not something I've come across yet when i've been watching games.
