    Can we get a 5/10 minute bam for queue quitters

    Posted: 24 Nov 2020 06:41 AM PST

    Unpopular opinion but I don't want to play every game on Arabia. I'd say 50% of my games that aren't Arabia drop because the other players don't want to play the map. Can't we get a temporary ban so you cant queue again for 10 minutes or so if you back out

    The sportsmanship of the Extreme AI is top notch. I converted 50 of his villagers and he still throws me back a "gg wp" as I kill his TC with his own ex-villagers

    Do you guys use Sun Tzu's Art of War tactics in your gameplay?

    Posted: 24 Nov 2020 02:25 AM PST

    So I was just listening to Sabaton's Art of War song and I started wondering how useful Sun Tzu's Art of War tactics would be ingame. Do you guys use them if so: How? and which ones?

    P.S. I'm not talking about the Art of War tutorials

    Posted: 24 Nov 2020 01:59 AM PST

    Hello there, i have recently taken up the game, again... ( in an endless cycle of playing stoping and coming back) and I havr noticed my macro slips up big time while i raid. Not necesarily the producrion part but the setting up of the eco. I kinda have 40 vills on wood sometimes when i look back at home from a raid. Any tips how i could improve this part of my gameplay?

    About the favorite map system

    Posted: 24 Nov 2020 08:44 AM PST

    So, before this system was introduced I wanted a system like that. But I'm not entirely satisfied with the way the system works currently, it needs a simple tweak imo

    The way it works is : if I favorite a map and you ban that map and you favorite a map that I have not banned, than we always get matched on your favorite map.

    In 1v1 it is not a big problem with most map pools, since you have enough bans to ban the maps you don't want to play anyway, so you cannot be forced to play a map you don't like too often

    But in TG it is very different. I was playing the other day and realised this : if 7 people favorite arabia (which is not unlikely given how popular the map is) and the 8th player favorites either BF or arena (maps the 7 other players probably don't want to play) and bans arabia, then we are always going to get matched on arena or BF. At higher elos, where the number of players you can get matched with is smaller, that leads to sometimes having to play arena or BF 3 or 4 times in row, with everybody in the game except one guy complaining that they don't want to play this map

    The solution? : make the favorite map thing work only if a majority of players favorited it, and if the map is not banned by anyone

    Say 6 player favorite arabia, 1 favorites oasis and 1 arena. 1 players bans arabia, so we cannot get matched on arabia, then, since no majority emerges, we can get matched on any map remaining that is banned by no player

    Who are the kings on the cover of each game/expansion?

    Posted: 24 Nov 2020 06:12 AM PST

    Or, what civilization do they represent?

    Ya...I know this is a stupid question. But nothing shows up when I google it. The guy on the right of OG AoE2 base game cover is Japanese, that much I can tell, but others, not so much.

    Is lag caused by the game or a potato PC ?

    Posted: 24 Nov 2020 01:34 AM PST

    Hello there,

    Each time I'm playing in a lobby I created with my friends, the game is struggling in only 10-15 mins and it never gets better till the end of the game.

    What is the reason of this lag ? I (host) have a very good PC/internet. My friends have average PC that can run it without problem in solo mode.

    I'm so frustrated because that was the main problem in HD version... and now this version is going the same way...

    map RNG vs Decision making 2v2 worldcup

    Posted: 24 Nov 2020 03:53 AM PST

    https://www.aoezone.net/threads/rng-makes-aoe-an-incredible-game.171180/

    so Nicov complained after the team island game against germany a that the rng in this map favoured the germans massivly because they had 3 extra gold and 3 extra stone while argentina only had 1 extra stone. this ultimately lead to argentina running out of gold and ultimately loosing the map.

    and i am a little bit conflicted about this topic because the way the game played out. to nicovs credit this is a high level tournament and on team island that doenst seem fair for one team

    on the other side everybody scouted thheir map early so the information should have been known in feudal age latest. there adaptation should take place. earlier trade and map controll are the solutions to this problem. in the game in mid to late castle age argentina had full water controll with nili loosing everything on water and having to heavily redoc before they could think about the comback. ultimately there waa a 10 minute gap where argentina didnt suround germanys island letting nili come back on water and allowing jordan to hold and build up a tower defense. i think that in 9/10 times Argentina should win this game. they still had gold they didnt start trade they alloweed tower and fetoria build and didnt use map controll for a save landing (which came to late in my opinion)

    i understand nicovs frustation and he has a point and it should be fixed but i think in this game it simply wasnt the reason they lost. this is not against him and i eould probably react the same way

    at the point the map rng matterd they already made crucial mistakes

    what is your opinion on this

    Unit behavior now affected by lag

    Posted: 23 Nov 2020 09:50 PM PST

    When the game is laggy, unit behaviour is actually different now. I'm fairly certain this wasn't the case before. Someone posted a recording of archers missing every shot due to the lag.

    When you watch a game and it was laggy, you can tell the units in the replay are actually laggy too.

    They must have really messed something up in the game engine last update...

    An idea for a Georgian civ

    Posted: 23 Nov 2020 11:38 PM PST

    An idea for a Georgian civ

    Defensive civilization

    Powerful melee units, defences and monks, good economy, weak archers and navy

    So I really hope a Georgian civ will be added to AOE at some point. The medieval Georgian kingdom was at the epicenter of all Eurasian warfare – Arabs, Turks, Byzantines, Cumans, Mongols, they fought them all and survived. So I think a more defensive touch would work better for this civ. Their defenses were not that outstanding, but they have a history of constantly rebuilding the fortifications across the country – so 50% faster repairmen is my idea to reflect this. Another defense tool is a light tower that provides pop space – a unique building - as Georgia was dotted with hundreds of small defense towers in every village. Plus the country is rife with forests and rock quarries – so cheaper military buildings. The army had outstanding shock heavy cavalry – good paladins with extra armour from the unique tech and the UU Monaspa – the elite heavy cavalry unit of the Georgian army. The anti-camel bonus stems from the constant wars Georgia had with "camel rife" civs and often won decisively. The second UU the Khevsur is a defensive anti-siege infantry that is best kept guarding your base and trebuchets. As for the team bonus – under constant press from Islamic civs Georgians yet stayed a Christian nation – so a little conversion bonus.

    Bonuses:

    Can build Svan towers (light tower that provides 5 pop)

    Military building (except castles) cost -25%

    Repairmen work 50% faster

    Stable techs research 50% faster

    UU

    Monaspa – heavy cavalry resistant to anti-cavalry attack (less so than the Cataphract), attack bonus against camel units.

    stats: HP 110 (130) At 11 Melee 1 Pierce 2

    stats elite: HP 150 (170) At 14 Melee 2 Pierce 2

    Speed and attack rate same as knights

    Khevsur – slow heavy infantry with an attack bonus against siege.

    stats: HP 50 At 10 Melee 1 Pierce 3

    stats elite: HP 80 At 13 Melee 2 Pierce 5

    UT

    Castle: Tsikhe – all buildings get extra armor

    Imperial: Royal guards – melee units get +1 melee armor

    Wonder – Svetitskhoveli cathedral

    ​

    Team bonus: converted units regain 20% of their cost

    Architecture – middle eastern (though I'd prefer a special one :D )

    Archery range: no Arbalest, Parthian tactics, thumb ring

    Barracks: no eagles

    Stable: No heavy camel, steppe lancer, battle elephant

    Siege: no siege onager, siege ram

    Dock: No elite canon galleon, fast fire ship, shipwright

    University: no siege engineers, treadmill crane, heated shot

    Monastery: no fervor
