    Civilization Match-up Discussion Round 10 Week 9: Magyars vs Malay

    Posted: 03 Nov 2020 09:59 PM PST

    "No I have the best trash unit!"

    Hello and welcome back for another Age of Empires 2 civilization match up discussion! This is a series where we discuss the various advantages, disadvantages, and quirks found within the numerous match ups of the game. The goal is to collectively gain a deeper understanding of how two civilizations interact with each other in a variety of different settings. Feel free to ask questions, pose strategies, or provide insight on how the two civilizations in question interact with each other on any map type and game mode. This is not limited to 1v1 either. Feel free to discuss how the civilizations compare in team games as well! So long as you are talking about how the two civilizations interact, anything is fair game! Last week we discussed the Koreans vs Persians, and next up is the Magyars vs Malay!

    Magyars: Cavalry civilization

    • Villagers kill wolves with 1 strike
    • Forging, Iron Casting, Blast Furnace free
    • Scout-line costs -15%
    • TEAM BONUS: Foot archers +2 LoS
    • Unique Unit: Magyar Huszar (Powerful light cavalry with bonus vs siege)
    • Castle Age Unique Tech: Corvinian Army (Magyar Huszars cost no gold)
    • Imperial Age Unique Tech: Recurve Bow (Cav Archers get +1 attack, +1 range)

    Malay: (Infantry and) Naval civilization

    • Advance in Age +66% faster
    • Fish Traps cost -33%; provide unlimited food
    • Battle Elephants cost -30%
    • TEAM BONUS: Docks +100% LoS
    • Unique Unit: Karambit Warrior (Extremely cheap, weak, fast infantry that takes up .5 pop space)
    • Unique Building: Harbor (Dock upgrade that grants moderate defensive capabilities)
    • Castle Age Unique Tech: Thalassocracy (Upgrades Docks to Harbors)
    • Imperial Age Unique Tech: Forced Levy (Swordsmen now cost 80f instead of 60f, 20g)

    Below are some match up-specific talking points to get you all started. These are just to give people ideas, you do not need to address them specifically if you do not want to!

    • Okay, so two less-often picked civs, but they both certainly have powerful options. For 1v1 Arabia, I would personally rate Magyars a bit higher than Malay on average, but with the caveat that Malay will do better when the map is a bit more closed. Magyars can strike hard and fast, and boast excellent mobility, but the Malay economy remains a force to be reckoned with. Who do you favor?
    • On closed maps, Magyars are less able to make early aggression happen, and Malay can easily utilize their eco to its fullest potential. However, Magyars possess by far a more powerful late game army. How do you see the dynamics of this match up changing on Arena, BF, etc.?
    • In team games, Malay are clearly better as a flank civ, and Magyars as a pocket civ. That said, both would appear to just fall short of being top-tier in their respective roles. Malay still have a great eco, FU arbs, and even BBTs, but they miss a more relevant bonus to their military. Magyars meanwhile have all the tech tree they could want with good bonuses to their army, but fall short on eco. How do you see these civs comparing in TGs?

    Thanks as always for participating! Next week we will continue our discussions with the Ethiopians vs Indians. Hope to see you there! :)

    What is the most imbalanced civ matchup you can think of?

    Posted: 04 Nov 2020 08:20 AM PST

    Most civs have a natural advantage against some civs and have trouble with other civs. In addition to that some civs are great on certain maps while being not so great on other maps. What is the most imbalanced matchup (civs and map) you can think of?

    How do I command an army?

    Posted: 04 Nov 2020 01:07 AM PST

    If I select my army and want to attack another army, how do I go on about it?

    I usually just click to attack one enemy from the other army but then my entire army goes against one guy from the enemy's army.

    Does AI actually need to follow the rules of the game as well?

    Posted: 04 Nov 2020 08:21 AM PST

    I'm in a very looong battle 1vs1 against the modest AI diffculty and I'm really struggling economically to keep producing, especially ever since I'm long out of gold. But my opponent must be struggling 3 times more, he has like 14 villagers altogether working, I have like 60, for a very long time now. I've entered his city and delayed his production couple times, he has never.

    but despite all this, he's still somehow able to produce enough (ESPECIALLY the units that cost gold) to resist me when I try to attack, and even to make attacks on my city.

    only thing I can think of is that he has like 3-4 relics.

    quickwall hotkey tips

    Posted: 03 Nov 2020 03:05 PM PST

    Is it possible to make your quickwalls only one key taps? Or do you have to push "build military" then "build palisade"? Because right now i have "Q then Q" for house and "W then S" for palisade and my quick walls would be way better with just one key. My palisade is set to "s" but when i hit "s" with a villager it does nothing unless i go into "build" first. What are your quickwall hotkeys?

    General Tips and Shortcuts

    Posted: 03 Nov 2020 06:03 PM PST

    I used to play when I was a lot younger and really had no idea what was going on, but I picked the game up off steam a few weeks ago and I really like it. I just play on my laptop with the touchpad so I don't think I'll be going into any online games anytime soon, but I do enjoy doing the campaigns. I'm almost finished with all of the Europe ones.

    My question is this: do any savvy players have any shortcuts or quick tips that they would've liked to know when they were just starting out? I've recently discovered the power of the shift button, and a couple days ago I saw something on here about F3 pausing the game and that has helped me. I can obviously look up a list of the keyboard shortcuts, but don't want to get bombarded by like 100.

    Can find Matches consecutively in one Lobby

    Posted: 03 Nov 2020 05:19 PM PST

    Whenever I'm searching a Game after one match my Timer in the queue remains at 0:00:00 and I have to restart the Game.

    Anyone Else having that Problem?

    Posted: 03 Nov 2020 08:25 PM PST

    Is there any way to be able to play games without the internet? I cannot start the game because I cannot login to my steam account.
