    Are there any NZ/Aus AOE2DE Streamers?

    Posted: 01 Jan 2021 01:35 AM PST

    Hello!

    Wondering if there are any streamers out there who are based in NZ/Aus. Would love to watch the big name players obviously, but timezones aren't very friendly. Doesn't have to be someone with 2K+ ELo, just casual player is fine.

    Who is out there?

    Cheers and Happy New Year!

    "Chasing the crown" achievement bugged?

    Posted: 01 Jan 2021 07:47 AM PST

    Greetings

    I am trying to get the achievement in the Burmese campaign (DE edition), which requires me to kill the king in under 5 minutes. I manged to do it, multiple times, but the achievement never gets flagged as completed.

    What I tryed:
    > Kill the king, finish the scenario
    > Quit the map after a while after I kill him
    > Restart the game, map, campaign screen

    So, any idea? Is there maybe some hidden attribute that needs to be checked?

    Double-click villager options should include "Select Only The Same Job"

    Posted: 01 Jan 2021 07:04 AM PST

    This would come in handy when re-tasking different groups of vills in a busy area. Examples:

    • Double click a shepherd: easily relocate all shepherds to go to berries after this sheep.
    • Double click a lumberjack: quickly react when only your woodline is being harrassed.
    • Double click a farmer: to quickly select/garrison only the farmers you have close to your TC.
    • Double click an Idle: (as already implemented)

    Ctrl+double click could be a "Select all vills" option for that time you need to select all.

    General strategy - Long term plans for new players

    Posted: 01 Jan 2021 03:40 AM PST

    Hello everyone,

    I recently picked up AoE2 again after around 15 years. So far, I believe I have the basics down in terms of unit counters and a bit of knowledge about which strategies are available.
    For context, I can beat the moderate AI without problem, but the hard AI rushes usually destroy me.

    I know there are set build orders for different strategies - I downloaded a mod that guides you through them in-game to get a rough feel for progression.

    However, I feel like I am still missing some big part of the general picture. The game usually revolves around early aggression where one player arrives first and dictates how the now defending player has to respond.
    If I am the defending player, how much should I give into their pressure? Is it worth straying from your civ's obvious game plan (e.g. Britons: Archers) to specifically counter their units (e.g. Britons upgrading melee infantry / cavalry) or should you stay on track?

    Watching a few gameplay videos of high ranking players online, they usually start by walling themselves in (only the wood line against scouts, otherwise they wall everything in) and then transition into more or less spamming their civ's special unit along with siege weapons.
    Are mixed armies not a thing?

    I feel like there is so much more to learn that you can't pick up via only learning exact build orders you won't even be able to keep up with.
    Should I keep practicing a single build order over and over again or is there a better way to get started?

    Sportsmanship

    Posted: 31 Dec 2020 07:27 PM PST

    It's surprising me how often you'll play a game and there will be no chat or replies. Just played a 2v2 where my ally left after about 10 minutes so I was left fighting 2 enemies. I stuck through and the game ended up lasting over an hour. No gg's or anything after it finished. It would have been easy for me to just throw my toys and quit right then and there. Played about 5 games this afternoon and it's really odd how quiet it is.

    I know I'm just complaining about what's a pretty small thing really, it just bugs me the lack of sportsmanship I've come across. Might as well just play AI if people are going to be this rude. It takes very little effort guys.

    On the flip side - I've played a lot of games in the past where players were really helpful / funny, even when I was a pretty average player.

    Can't Test Scenario As Player 2

    Posted: 01 Jan 2021 07:52 AM PST

    I have the DE and I created a scenario that I want to be able to test as both players but it doesn't seem to even be possible. I've searched around but haven't found any solutions. Am I missing something or is this just a feature they didn't implement?

    Have you pre-ordered Lords of the West expansion pack?

    Posted: 01 Jan 2021 07:13 AM PST

    Imagine all Burgundian villagers turning into units. This is how they will look like. This is Flemish Militia

    Villagers betraying orders!

    Posted: 31 Dec 2020 05:27 PM PST

    Does anyone else have vils that you are SURE you tasked to several sheep in order, suddenly just go walk away and kill a different sheep? I feel like I have to keep an eagle eye on them! Am I doing something wrong? Or is this just normal vil behavior and I have to delete one to teach the others a lesson?

    AOE2 DE crashes every time match ends

    Posted: 01 Jan 2021 03:22 AM PST

    Hi, I am running AOE2 DE on my MacBook pro with the M1 processor and via the virtual machine CrossOver. It runs fine except for one thing: Whenever a match is over, the game shuts down and I am back in my Steam window, so I don't get to see the end-of-match stats from all the players.

    Does anyone know how I can get the game from automatically shutting down after each match?

    To actually start the game, I:

    • Created a new Windows-10 x64 bit bottle and installed on it:
    • Steam
    • DirectX for Modern Games
    • DXVK --> In the new bottle under settings, the following is selected: "Performance enhanced graphics" and "DXVK Backend for D3D11"
    • Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 (14.0) Redistributable Runtime (64-bit)

    While in the game, to run multiplayer without it desyncing after 5 seconds, I ran the following on the Mac's Terminal as explained on this reddit post:

    Thanks!

    I just managed to kill Sarus in Alaric Mission 5 and i never felt so good in a RTS

    Posted: 31 Dec 2020 06:00 PM PST

    Just wanted to share this proud moment, i wasnt able to beat this mission because of the massiv unit spam from Sarus. I just countered him with the sam until i saw him attack with the Sarus Unit itself, after killing he finally gave up and i played the damn mission like a normal game.

    ​

    Never felt so proud in RTS haha
