    11 - More tolerance for AoE2 taunts in casual online conversation

    Posted: 22 Jan 2021 04:09 AM PST

    - An urgent appeal to the AoE2 community

    Dear members of the AoE2 community,

    When I chat with my friends or family, and I find something particularly funny, I feel the urge to type 11. Sadly, I feel restricted to use it most of the time, since they would simply not understand.

    Wouldn't it be wonderful if there was more awareness & tolerance towards the use of 11 in casual chat?

    Well, one way to work towards achieving this would be to make an "Urban Dictionary" definition of 11.

    And with that, to make 11 the highest rated definition on the urban dictionary page!

    Currently the highest rated definition of 11 has 639 upvotes. As a community, I believe we can achieve much more than this!

    So what can you do?

    1. Help me define 11 -> Post you definition below. I will craft a complete definition and post it on Urban dictionary.
    2. Once the final definition is live, upvote the definition! The link will be shared in a follow-up post.
    3. Use 11 in casual chat, memes and professional conversation, referring to the UD definition if not understood, and let your friend / relative / boss feel out of touch.

    Let's make the world a more AoE2 tolerant place, for the future of the game.

    11

    I made a printable counter-sheet for all base units

    Posted: 22 Jan 2021 04:30 AM PST

    Find the sheet here:

    https://github.com/TheWaveWarden/AoE2-Counters/blob/master/aoe2_counters.pdf

    The sheet is based on this sheet by u/HaveIGotPPI, which has good information, but random colors and layout. Credits to him!

    The sheet is supposed to be a resource for my fellow noobs. It is also open-source, so if you want to correct something or add unique-units, go for it!

    Special thanks to u/Lord_Commander and others for fact-checking.

    It's only a 20 year old game...

    Who else is getting frequent crashes?

    Posted: 22 Jan 2021 05:55 AM PST

    Three out of last ~15 1v1 games I played froze and then crashed straight to desktop :/ Is there anything I can do to reduce the number of crashes? My CPU is rather old (Intel i5 4590) but should be sufficient for this game. The GPU I have seems fine (GTX 1060 6GB). I have 16 GB of RAM, and the game normally runs smooth

    Where is the line between helpful mods and cheating?

    Posted: 22 Jan 2021 05:59 AM PST

    Hey people,

    like many of you I have recently returned to the wonderful world of AoE II. This subreddit has been very entertaining and also helpful in improving my skill. There are also some mods that I find very helpful, some are mere optics (like UI at the bottom of the screen), some give me a clear advantage over opponents who don't use them. For example, there's small trees mod, all of the pros use it, so I'm fairly sure using this mod is not frowned upon. There are other mods where I'm not so sure, for instance range mods (show the range of TCs, castles, towers or kreposts), which are very helpful when rushing the opponent or placing defensive buildings. There are mods that show mangonel range or indicate which buildings are being build on foundations, so you don't need to click them (I don't use the latter two, just saw they exist). So the mods basically fill in for my lacking skill in knowing the range by heart or recognizing building foundations. These are just random examples, I'm sure you know others.

    Would you say it is "unsportsmanlike" to use mods like this in ladder games? Related: how about having your tech tree or a counter list opened on a second screen? I'm really unsure about this and look forward to your inputs.

    Black screen and crash after a short while

    Posted: 22 Jan 2021 01:32 AM PST

    Hey everyone

    I'm sure I'm not the first or the last person to ask this, but does anyone have any other fixes to resolve the game going black and crashing. I have a ryzen 5 2600g 16Gb, 500ssd, and 1TB HDD. I have the windows store definitive edition.

    I have tried.

    • putting in a discrete GPU
    • moved the game from the SSD to HDD and back again
    • re-installed several times. GT 730 2gb
    • changing in-game graphics.
    • clearing all the temporary files.
    • clearing app data.
    • install the latest drivers
    • remove all the Nvidia drivers and run on only windows drivers.
    • running the game in windows and full-screen mode.
    • run on the inbuilt GPU of the Ryzen 2600g

    and I am still getting the same issue. To be clear my game runs, I get into a game, I start building up, and out of nowhere my screen goes black, and my audio drivers bug out. I restart the pc and we start all over again.

    I am pulling my hair out.

    Transfering game from old to new laptop

    Posted: 22 Jan 2021 08:02 AM PST

    Hello fellow Agers,

    I recently bought a new laptop, and I would like to transfer aoe2 definitive edition from my old laptop to my new one... Is there any way I could do this without repurchasing the game?

    I really appreciate any help you can provide.

    Is Inca Trush really that broken? (900 ELO)

    Posted: 21 Jan 2021 10:43 AM PST

    I got tired of constantly losing to Franks on Arabia so am just Inca Vil Trushing any map I get that's not Arena. I'm not even a good AOE2 player and I've won 7 matches in a row with it. At what ELO does this cheese strat fall off?

    You see, a nerf so massive from 1020 to 700 HP is unjustifiable - unfavourable civ matchups could be mitigated with trushes. No wonder Civ picking increased, what to do as Teuton flank now?
