    Heli's Challengers - Zuppi vs BacT - 27/02 @8GMT

    Posted: 25 Feb 2021 12:09 AM PST

    Hey Reddit!

    The second episode of my challenger series is coming to Twitch this Saturday starting 8GMT!

    After Slam defeated Hoang in the first episode, top players Zuppi and BacT will be duelling for the lions share of the $100 USD PrizePool and the right to challenge the previous champion.

    This will be a best of 5, first game Arabia, followed by home maps of the loser until the winner is decided. We'll have a unique civ picking system that will guarantee no mirror matches, and hopefully provide some interesting matchups.

    The games will be cast exclusively on my channel, twitch.tv/helichaos, with the players likely to also stream their POV.

    See you there!

    Italian Fast Imp Silk Road anyone?

    Posted: 25 Feb 2021 03:50 AM PST

    So I'm a low Elo noob who likes to theory-craft, and a noobier friend of mine goes feudal trade carts, which got me thinking, is there a world where trade carts ASAP make sense?

    It turns out after silk road and caravan, Italians trade carts are almost as good as arguably better than gold miners as far as return on investment* goes. Now why would you go imp, invest in a castle, and pay 700 food and 450 gold early on to do with a bigger latency something you can already do with a 100 wood mining camp and villagers? This is the question I'll try to answer.

    First, by building trade carts ASAP, you are growing your economy by means other than town centers (in a way similar to docks). Since Each cart takes twice as long to be trained, each 175 wood market can be thought of as a half town center. Since you need your first market anyway to go fast imp or fast castle in maps which warrant it, it's as if you "saved" 137.5 wood and 50 stones. Any subsequent market used to continuously produce carts can be thought of as trading 37.5 wood for 50 stone, or the equivalent vill times.

    Second, in very closed map, such as Amazon Tunnel, it's often good to have a first castle up early. That could be yours.

    Third, Fast imp as Italians is sensible, because of the reduced age up cost and strong gunpowder. So if you have to bail out, you have good ways to spend your banked up food and gold for things other than Silk Road and caravan.

    So the ideal conditions might be something like:

    - Spanish ally. Obviously.

    - Very closed map. We're playing the long game. Amazon tunnel is great.

    - A Teuton ally. Or any strong defensive ally, but Teuton can also sling farms, of which you need many for a fast imp. Especially great on amazon tunnel where the whole team start close by and there are extra boars so the Teuton player can be slung a few herd-ables and hunt-ables to still do a decent fast castle boom. Alternatively, the Italians player could be slung animals and forego farms for a long time.

    - An ally which can burn through gold fast. Like Khmer double dumboes or Turks. Since you will mostly touch your main gold, and will sling a lot of gold late game.

    Economically speaking, this strat is obviously much worse than 3-5 TC boom, so you'd have to apply some military pressure to make it worth. One way to do it would be to help your teammate clown pushing in castle age with trebs, to make maximal use of your castle.

    ​

    Alternatively, I guess one could go for a regular fast TC boom strategy, maybe with one less TC (2-4) and consider starting trading upon aging up to imp in a more usual way.

    ​

    I can't possibly be the first to think of similar junk, henceforth if you've seen something similar discussed elsewhere I'd be very grateful to have pointers (even regular Italian fast imp are of interest to me).

    Friendly reminder: don't try to exploit campaigns!

    Posted: 25 Feb 2021 04:39 AM PST

    I just playedy Ivaylo 5 and before destroying the Hungarians, I decided to have some fun. I made a small force, got to the starting point, killed enemy units and then made myself a path through the forest in the south-eastern part of the map. I started scouting, built docks, got some support from my man Kasim Beg, rebuilt Kasim's village, destroyed two feitorias, razed half of Kiev... And then decided to kill the Magyar baron.

    The thing is: if you kill the baron, all your buildings, resources and units are transferred to Radu Negru and you're left hanging alone. So I landed with nothing, unable to capture a new base, without an army and, surprisingly, without will to play any more.

    Remember, my fellow casual players: if you see an opportunity, save your game before taking it!

    Advice needed: How to adjust build orders for "slopes" map

    Posted: 25 Feb 2021 02:16 AM PST

    Slopes has extra deer instead of boar, which has a noticable impact on standard build orders. Do you push all deer to under TC? do you add any extra TC vils (e.g. more than 9 TC vils for archer rush)? Do you try to get all deer?

    What you do when you're in a negative streak?

    Posted: 25 Feb 2021 04:52 AM PST

    My ELO was almost 1400 1v1 1 month ago: https://aoe2.net/#profile-209350

    Now I'm facing a negative streak. I dropped to 1050. Almost every game I play, I lose. Like I forgot everything. I was completely outplayed by 10xx players. Arena -> can't win against 11xx, but I was winning 1350+ players. How do you cut this? Do you experience sth similar?

    Better random civs selection.

    Posted: 24 Feb 2021 07:12 PM PST

    If you chose to Go random instead of getting a random civ of the entire pool before the match you get to choose from 3 diferente random asigned civs.

    So as an example, you select random, 3 civs pop up on a 10 sec timer, with a 4 option to go normal random.

    This dosent need to Work in the current Yellow icon thing where both Go random.

    How do I disable it? I can't just enter "noui" as cheats don't work on replays. Also how do I hide the mouse pointer?

    How to play Burma?

    Posted: 25 Feb 2021 03:43 AM PST

    I only just reached 1300 elo and i've been pretty successful with burma vs melee civs. Either been lucky or been able to interpolate opposing start position using relics which means i usually have more time to do push deer. And m@a +spears into pikes and monks has been super successful.

    But still not too sure how to leverage their civ bonuses vs ranged civs in open maps like arabia. Especially britons with their ability to snipe mangos. The lack of skirm armour starts to hurt in castle age and just snowballs in imperial. Feels like eles are too hard to attain in 1v1 leaving their average knights into cavalier to handle archer balls.

    And britons especially are able to pressure too much before i can get enough kts to handle their xbow corner stacking blob.

    on a similar note, since 1200 elo i have lost 100% of my matches as any civ v britons grrr

    AI hard mode glitches?

    Posted: 25 Feb 2021 06:03 AM PST

    Whenever I set my AI to hardmode on singleplayer, all of them without fail randomly resign after 10-15 minutes. They aren't attacked or doing badly, it just hits the 10 minute mark and they all suddenly resign. Has anyone else had this issue and is there a way to fix it?
