    Let us reconnect to games

    Posted: 22 Nov 2020 06:42 AM PST

    Due to the latest patch being pretty buggy, my game keeps crashing on match found(I think that only happens if I am looking at the technology tree but I'm not 100% sure yet) and also unfortunately randomly crashes while I'm ingame. Please let us reconnect to games so I can play the game again because it's really not fun to lose 30-40 minutes just like that

    Discussion: What to do when you're chopping through?

    Posted: 22 Nov 2020 06:33 AM PST

    I often find myself in castle age with a bunch of villagers on a section of wood who end up chopping through to the other side and leaving a hole in my walls.

    What strategies do you use to avoid this? When you see a forest getting thin, how do you react?

    My first 1v1 since high school. What a rush.

    Posted: 22 Nov 2020 02:39 AM PST

    Hello boys and girls,

    I'm an avid aoe2 player, been playing this game since 2000's, since high school. I've only ever played a single 1v1, a friend of mine always spread rumors about him being better than me, so I had to accept his challenge. I won.

    Then, only team games. Until latest patch.

    The team games became unplayable by the latest patch, imperial age and on is a pain to play, it lags too much. So, me and my friends decided to have a 1v1 tournament, we are 6 people, it's tournament style, the rest watches and chats during the game, and then we discuss the game, trying to find the flaws in the games and make each other play better. All good fun, also improves our games too.

    Yesterday it was me versus a guy at my level, we play similarly in team games, he's in my team. However... he has a lot of 1v1 experience. I was so freaking nervous, my face was on fire and my hands and feet were freezing. We had 5 civ random draft, I got Huns Japanese Portuguese Ethiopians and Mayans, he got Malians, Aztecs, Cumans, Turks and Persians. The first map is always Arabia, second map is picked by the loser, if 1-1, then loser picks the 3rd map. I pick Portuguese, he picked Malians.

    WHAT A RUSH. I still get jittery talking about it. I walled up nicely, even though got interrupted by his drush, but defended it well, then did a fast castle and put up a castle in a very good high as fuck hill between both our bases, then started making organ guns. He started making two-handed swordsmen and onagers, I added knights and then turned them into cavalier and added trebuchets for his castles. I WON.

    Then, he picks Arena, the map I'm proficient at. I'm not good at rushs, I'm good at booming. I picked Ethiopians for pikes and siege, he picks Cumans.

    We both boomed, I placed outposts to see if he's gonna attack early. I saw his siege workshop and his stables just at the range of one of my outposts. I started making mangonels and pikes. When he attacked me, it was mid-castle age, I defended well with my mangonels, he retreated.

    I made a shitload of halberdiers, made rams, onagers, bombard cannons and a couple trebuchets and pushed him back, then I switched to Knights, destroyed one of his gates on the side and started raiding him, I WON AGAIN.

    Tonight, I'm going to play against our best player. I know I'm gonna lose, He's about rank 2100 and I'm about 1600-1700, his team game rank is so high, he once played against Vivi. In our 3v3's, we give him our weakest 2 players and even then it's barely matched. The guy who never forgets upgrades, never stops making villagers, barely has any idles, never stops producing? That's him.

    Wish me luck!

    More statistics postgame.

    Posted: 21 Nov 2020 06:33 PM PST

    I think more statistics, such as amount of idle tc time, or idle vill time would be nice. I allways find myself wanting to know how well i macroed after games, and I think it would be a nice, easily implementable feature. What do you guys think?

    More annoying aggressive strats?

    Posted: 22 Nov 2020 05:47 AM PST

    I currently only do the Persian douche, because I can't play any other strategy (due to low APM). What other strategies are there that are annoying and throws the opponent off?

    PSA: Hate the new UI? There's a mod to help now!

    Posted: 22 Nov 2020 04:46 AM PST

    I just found Anne_HK's mod "Old Main Menu" which seems to work perfectly! Much less clicking to do, didn't even need to restart. The one downside is that there's no button for Quickplay if you like that or need it for the event. You can do that by clicking on the Battle Royale button on the side and navigate from there. This doesn't seem to effect the new pop-up animations, hopefully someone can find/create a mod that helps.

    Tips for playing Magyar?

    Posted: 22 Nov 2020 06:13 AM PST

    The Magyars are the first civ I've gotten into and played a lot more than the others.

    What should my goals be and what should I be focusing on. I'm not the best I know and at the moment my strategy is to boom my food eco and exploit the no gold cost for the unique hussar.

    Why in the absolute hell did they lock the x256 tech cheat behind an event?

    Posted: 21 Nov 2020 11:15 AM PST

    What's even the point of doing that? I watch SOTL's video where he used it and got excited to go do it myself only to find out I can't.

    All the old threads I read say the DE x256 mods don't work and make the game crash. Are there any that currently work?

    Which json files to edit to increase control group label size?

    Posted: 22 Nov 2020 04:57 AM PST

    I'd like to increase the size of the control group numbers indicated right below the respective units. I tried the 'Huge numbers' mod, but it does not seem to be working for me.

    I changed a lot of other UI elements (panel positions, size of resource numbers etc) through editing the respective json files. However, I don't know which json file to edit to increase the font size of control group labels.

    To clarify, I'm not talking about the control group panel that's displayed on the bottom of the screen.

    If anyone knows which json file to edit, that would be a great help, thanks!

    garison villagers

    Posted: 22 Nov 2020 04:23 AM PST

    Big mindfuck

    Which I don't understand, and can someone tell me that, explain it to me, please.

    If I build houses, why can't I garrison my villagers in those houses?

    Bulgarian 22 Pop Ultra Men at Arms

    Posted: 21 Nov 2020 10:14 AM PST

    As of the latest patch Bulgarians get 50% off the food cost of blacksmith techs, and their blacksmith work rate was increased to 80% faster. Couple this with the existing free militia line upgrades and you have an insanely strong rush in feudal

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vq6b8022BDY

    Linked is a video showing the build order, which I will also write below

    6 on sheep

    2 to wood

    1 to boar

    2 more to wood (the first makes 2 houses)

    1 to long distance mine 50 gold

    1 to boar

    4 to berries

    3 to food under tc

    last vil to woodline (for 5 total)

    loom -> feudal click

    when you click feudal, take 2 vils from under your tc to build a barracks and a house, then send them to berries (for 6 total) Create 5 militia

    Your gold miner goes to straggler tree when you have the gold for 5 militia. Add 2-3 farm with your low hp vils from the boar.

    When food runs out under the tc, send the vils to stragglers. Send 4 vils to your deer patch. When you hit feudal, have those vils build a blacksmith and a house, then continue to take the deer (you can add a mill when you have wood)

    Research infantry armor (50f) and attack (75f), which should come in while you are arriving at the enemy base with 5 very strong men at arms. No TC idle time, but you do have to delay the wood and farm upgrades.
