    Found A Typo

    For those of you having trouble with "Fires of Calcutta" on Hard difficulty, Mahouts are the best unit for the mission

    Posted: 14 Nov 2020 05:39 PM PST

    If you can get out even a few Mahouts, they will easily decimate the enemies that come at you. The Arsonists and Chakrams that come at you count as Siege and Ranged Infantry units, respectively, which Mahouts excel against.

    Early on, once you reach the town center, try to use shipment cards to get some Sowars and Zamburaks at first, as you can't easily get Mahouts via shipments. The enemy unit spam is strong against infantry, so try not to make more than what you start with; cavalry will be much better, even if it's very expensive. One big misconception about the mission is that some people think Gurkhas will do well against the Arsonists, but that isn't the case. Arsonists have 50% ranged resist, even if they count as Heavy Infantry, so Gurkhas don't hurt them as much as you'd think.

    Building Castles will slow the enemy down a bit, but they won't stop them, as the enemies do plenty of siege damage. Still, it takes a while to have a strong enough economy to support Mahouts, so do whatever you can to slow the enemy down while you build up.

    As for your economy, don't try to send your villagers too far out or they'll get sniped. This unfortunately will leave you with a shortage of resources, so try to get Rice Paddies up if you can. Wood is the main issue, as it always is with Indians; you'll want at least one infinite Wood shipment.

    This mission is definitely a painintheass, don't get me wrong. You can't make walls, destroying the barracks won't stop enemies from spawning, and you start in the town with zero resources (and can't afford to go for treasures early). It's definitely something the AoE team should've looked at adjusting, IMO, even if it's doable with the right strategy. But once you have your Mahouts out, you can generally just stomp them toward the barracks and flatten them.

    Why is it Germans and not Prussians?

    Posted: 14 Nov 2020 08:01 AM PST

    Well Frederick the Great was Prussian leader, a Prussian family backed the only German colony in America, it was Prussia and not the German Empire who put its first trading posts in Africa in the early colonial era.

    If it was supposed to be Germans as in the German Empire maybe a more adequate leader should have been Otto von Bismarck and not Frederick the Great?

    China 10min Rush Guide/Explanation (100% win rate after 40+ games)

    Posted: 14 Nov 2020 10:10 PM PST

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2vEdSEY06Nc&feature=youtu.be

    Hope you guys enjoy :) You can skip ahead to 3:00 for a quick explanation on what cards to use, the rest is self-explanatory so I just show gameplay from a supportive perspective.

    Use the cards in the order I gave, build your iron troops, gg. We are not playing in ranked because it would be unfair to lower players ratings like this imo, so custom lobbies it is when abusing game mechanics in my group. Though, a few ranked matches had to be played in all fairness before we transitioned out.

    The simplest form of AoE: winning games without constructing buildings or using Coin

    Posted: 14 Nov 2020 11:38 AM PST

    I suggest that the easiest strategy to pick up in AoE is the Lakota Scout Rush. You don't build buildings or worry about Population, you don't gather or use Coin, you don't age up beyond Age II, you don't kite or use any Ranged units, and you ignore most unit counters because your units are just plain Normal Infantry and don't have multipliers themselves.

    Instead, you get to focus exclusively on things like Villager management and early-game economy, Treasure collection and exploration/scouting, Home City Shipment value and timing, raiding and sieging effectively, and detecting/repelling enemy raids. When I try to do a normal strategy I feel a little overwhelmed in comparison and I do everything less effectively, so I think the Lakota Scout Rush is a good set of "training wheels".

    I've gone 6-1 so far in Ranked using this strat and even though a few of those games were against people who didn't get the memo on the new Native Scout cards (training available from War Chief with just Advanced Scouts, one-shotting enemy Explorers), it still feels appropriately strong. I'd like to hear from anyone who's tried it at a higher level though!

    LAN not actually LAN :(

    Posted: 14 Nov 2020 05:44 AM PST

    I wake up today, the Internet's out due to scheduled maintenance. No problem, my brother and I both have a copy, we will just play it on a LAN against AI. Then we find out that you can't actually use LAN without being online😭

    No Launch problems

    Posted: 14 Nov 2020 10:35 AM PST

    Ok so I see everyone having all these problems with the DE of AoE3 and I don't deny that they exist. But I would like to point out that the game isn't just straight up terrible (the DE) like when I got it on launch I didn't actually encounter any problems offline and about a week into playing there was one bug where AI would just micro Explorer the whole game and nothing else. Online I also haven't had any problems besides units getting stuck in trade posts. My whole point is that the game isn't actually THAT BAD (i don't play competitive so I can't talk about that)

    P.S I've gotten somewhere around 103 hrs of gameplay according to steam

    Steam update bug with AOE3 DE?

    Posted: 14 Nov 2020 06:01 PM PST

    Trying to play AOE3 DE on Steam and seem to have run into a problem - the update gets stuck at the very end and just sits there, preventing me from playing it. According to Steam the update is complete (100.7/100.7MG), but it still thinks it's updating, so I can't launch it. Anyone else have this problem and know of a fix? Validating the files through the Steam client hasn't fixed it.

    Is there a specific game mode causing people to lose files on their drives or destroy Windows?

    Posted: 14 Nov 2020 10:11 AM PST

    So I used to play AoE3 a lot when I was a little kid and figured I would check out the definitive edition for the nostalgia but then I read reviews from people saying there's a bug currently where the game can wipe the files on your drive and/or ruin Windows. This made me really second guess trying this remaster.

    Does anyone know if there are specific game modes associated with these issues? If it is only happening to people playing multiplayer then it's no issue for me because I'm only interested in singleplayer.

    Artifacts?

    Posted: 14 Nov 2020 01:48 PM PST

    Admittedly I have an older gpu but well within the minimum specs, and I'm getting crazy artifact glitches in about half my games. Gpu is not overheating. Anyone else experiencing this?

    How do I play Online or on Lan?

    Posted: 14 Nov 2020 04:57 PM PST

    "User content is disabled" is the messeage that I get everytime I try click multiplayer. I asked about this previously and someone told me to fix my mods. I haven't got any mods downloaded, so I guess my xbox live profile is the answer. Could anyone tell me what I need to do?

    Also, Isabella is a thot

    Japanese are actually OP not Sweden

    Posted: 14 Nov 2020 04:12 PM PST

    Let's see: - Japanese shrines can gather resources, Swedish torps can gather resources

    • For shrines you CAN CHOOSE which resource they generate whilst for Sweden you can generate coin and food

    • Shrine resource generation is improved by cards and AGE UP shrine

    • Shrine can also generate XP

    • Japan can train villagers while aging up

    • Japanese Ashigaru (base)0 is almost as good as Swedish Carolean who's often seen as OP

    • Japanese shrines will generate resources for all of the game if they're not destroyed, Torps generate for 15 mins or so

    • Swedish have indeed the upper hand on villies limit & they can ship factories

    • Japan can send same card TWICE, with some exceptions

    • Japan hand infantry is very powerful compared to Sweden's pikemen (lol)

    How to deal with fortresses as the Japanese

    Posted: 14 Nov 2020 06:57 AM PST

    I am pretty new to the game and find myself having trouble against fortresses with the Japanese, flaming arrows are too expensive and I am not in age 4 at that time so I can't get mortars. Are there any cards or upgrades that would help.

    Does anyone else get an error saying "File transfer failed" in multiplayer?

    Posted: 14 Nov 2020 07:51 AM PST

    I've been trying to play multiplayer games today but whenever multiplayer timer reaches zero after everyone has pressed ready, I get an error saying that the "file transfer failed" and to "make sure you have enough disk space". I'm not sure what the game means by this since I have enough space in my laptop and the disk usage is below 40%...

    Why does the game constantly crash?

    Posted: 14 Nov 2020 07:06 AM PST

    I just wanted to play a campaign map.

    Game crashes 20s into the game twice. Then when i tabbed out it crashed midway through, luckilly i saved.

    Then once i won it shows the victory emblem and the game just closes itself.

    EDIT: Just reopened the game in the background, i tab into the main menu and it closes.

    EDIT2: Won another mission and the victory emblem came, then the game closed itself again.

    Home City Decks/Levels Not Shared Across Devices

    Posted: 14 Nov 2020 09:02 AM PST

    Is it just me or is it designed this way? I play DE on two different devices with the same steam account. But home city levels and decks aren't shared and I find myself having to recreate decks on both computers.
