    6 Hour Game Won't End

    Posted: 06 Mar 2021 01:48 AM PST

    We won 2V4 and their last player is still somehow alive. It's African Clearing. We have spies, we have outposts everywhere. I'm onagering down all the trees and mining all the gold.

    Is there any possible glitch or trick I should know? Its a ranked game and at this point I refuse to lose.

    Statistics I did for a Challenge on the York Scenario in AoE:HD years ago. Had to 'defeat' all 7 opponents before I could complete a win condition. Not as impressive as it looks as I'm a casual player with this done on low difficulty. I have photos as proof though they are lower quality.

    Posted: 06 Mar 2021 05:10 AM PST

    I feel like I should preface this by reiterating that under no circumstance am I trying to be a braggart. I know I am far far down the elo tree to the point that I'm positive that I'm only slightly better than I was when I played this game in grade school. This was done on the lowest difficulty. I'm just sharing what I thought of an extra little addition I made to replaying the York mission and was curious if anyone else has tried something similar.

    For context, I did this January 9, 2017. I constructed in northern Scotland (I think, it's been awhile) and I ended up keeping four enemies alive until the end. I hid away extra relics and bought stone to keep myself from getting too much gold. I already posted this in r/ageofempires but was recommended to post it here though I had to change the format due to not being allowed to post a gallery. If anyone is interested in seeing actual proof of the statistics below that's where they are. I'm curious if anyone else has tried this so let me know if you have!

    Atacama question

    Posted: 06 Mar 2021 06:20 AM PST

    Is it more optimal to: (1) build first lumber camp in the center wood and then wall to the center; or (2) build first lumber camp closer to the TC and take little clumps of wood, do not wall to center, and wait until Castle Age to build second TC in the center wood and start chopping it then? I can't figure out if the risk of immediately chopping center is worth the reward (fewer lumber camps required; less walking time).

    I am leaning towards the latter.

    Thanks.

    Converted all AoC campaigns to support 2 player coop

    Posted: 05 Mar 2021 08:49 AM PST

    A while ago I started converting aoe2 de campaigns to support 2 player coop. Now continuing with the work I finished all AoC campaigns as well. Original post here.

    The campaigns might still have bugs but any feedback is very welcome. If you are interested you can find them here (make sure to read the instructions first otherwise the game might start in the broken state):

    AoC:

    Attila the Hun

    El Cid

    Montezuma

    Battles of the Conquerors

    AoK:

    Joan of Ark

    Saladin

    Genghis Khan

    Barbarossa

    Petards should be able to cut trees

    Posted: 05 Mar 2021 01:33 PM PST

    I think it would be neat if petards had an additional use - at the moment they are good for quick wall busts on arena, rushing down an enemy castle, and sudden death gamemodes.

    Who wouldn't want to see more petard action? Have them able to cut maybe 3 trees in castle age, and more with siege engineers maybe? Ballista eles shouldn't be the only thing that is able to cut trees in castle age

    Impact of T90

    Posted: 05 Mar 2021 09:02 PM PST

    Hi guys, I have played aoe2 since childhood and for a long time not a lot of my friends played aoe2, nor did I see a lot of mainstream following. But I feel past 2 years this has changed. I have always watched T90's videos and stream. So I may be biased but what is your opinion? What is the impact of T90 on the current game state?

    Suggestion: New map pool selection mechanics

    Posted: 06 Mar 2021 03:05 AM PST

    Hello everyone, this is another post about the problems of RM map selection, and I would like to know the opinion of the different types of players that we have in this community. All types of elos, all types of playstyles are welcome. I am aware there are many posts about the problems caused by players pressing alt+F4, but I haven't found any with this type of solution. If I'm wrong, please let me know.

    As it is right now, with limited bans and the current size of the pool its frequent to get stuck with a map you are not comfortable, so here is a possible solution to reduce the randomness of the selection, without complicating much the matchmaking algorithm (longer queues and possible larger elo difference).

    I'll start with the 1v1, It will be easier to explain:

    First, increase the maps available from 7 to 9, but sort them in three blocks.

    1st block: Open maps, with Arabia as always fixed, and two other maps selected either by the MS team or voting. We have plenty of maps recurrent in the map pool that can be played as much Arabia-like as you want (valley, Serengeti, ghost lake, cenotes…) and others that may differ in some aspects, but similar strategies still work (acropolis, atacama, gold rush, golden pit…)

    2nd block: Closed maps, with Arena as always fixed, and two other maps selected the same way, by the MS team or voting. Closed "boomy" maps could be black forest and amazon tunnel, oasis also fits the role. We also have walled maps such as fortress, hideout and hill fort. And then some hybrid maps with choke points that might fit in the boomy category like rivers or highland (maybe not if you fall behind in water, but you get the point)

    3rd block: The theme of the map pool, with three maps that share a key aspect. The theme could be nomad. Next rotation water maps, next one resources in the middle (not only gold, Atacama could be here too), Migration (land and/or water). The themes could also be about the playstyle, such as early aggression (Socotra) or exploration (MegaRandom and nomads again). And many more. Also this 3rd block could potentially have maps that fit in the other two categories (hybrid maps, with 4 lakes being open and Scandinavia closed)

    Now we have a bigger set of maps and at least 3 should be enjoyable for you.

    How many likes/bans? Only 2. But you can ban an entire block. Potentially you have 6 map bans but there are less combinations for the matchmaking algorithm, making it still easy to find other players at you level with the same selected maps.

    I don't know how difficult could be to implement a subcategory ban in this algorithm, for example ban all the closed maps + one specific of the 3rd block (technically still only 2 bans used), so I'll assume it's not possible. Same for the fav button.

    This will make it much easier for players to play their fav maps

    Now for team games, same reasoning, increase the maps from 9 to 12 and sorted in 3 blocks, 4 maps each

    If you are queuing solo, you have 1 ban, directly you are skipping 4 maps

    If you are queuing with friends, you have 2 bans (now 3 or 4, depending on the size party) and you can potentially skip 8 maps.

    The chances we get a map we don't like are lower this way. The combinations of available maps in common is easier and the risk of people quitting or one-sided matches after a 15 min queue time should be lower. If players want to quit 100% when they don't have they favourite map… there is nothing we can do. But with changes like this one, we might reduce people who are tempted

    So here it is my proposal, I would like to know what you think of it, specially if I left something important, and you thing this could be a step back for you (and why?)

    Ranked statistics not showing on aoe official website

    Posted: 06 Mar 2021 06:28 AM PST

    Hello,

    I've been starting to play a few dozens of both 1v1/team RM and my games' statistics are not showing on ageofempires.com. I've connected my Xbox Live profile on both the game and the website.

    Would you know why is that? On my profile on the website it registers that I have been online recently though.

    Thanks!

    Help Request - Civilization and Unit Classifications

    Posted: 06 Mar 2021 05:30 AM PST

    Hi,

    I recently made a post on analyzing AOE2s civilizations 1v1 Performance statistics (which can be found here).

    One limitation though is that my outputs on civilization performance by their classification and unit availability is severely limited due to how poorly they represent in game reality / usages.

    In order to improve this aspect I was hoping to get community feedback on how we could modify the classifications / unit availability table to better represent the in-game usage / performance.

    For reference here is the current tables I am working with:

    https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1SFPZlTfP38foj9oy_gYviUK2k9_neIjwle6PKi1YCoA/edit?usp=sharing

    ​

    To give an example of what I mean here are some initial proposals that I was considering:

    For the classification table:

    • Adding Archer to Vikings
    • Adding Siege to Ethopians
    • Adding Cav Archer to Huns
    • Adding Elephant to Malay and Vietnamese
    • Adding "defensive" to Franks, Incas & Bulgarians to reflect their tower / castle / krepost usage

    For the unit table:

    • Removing Arbalester from civs that don't have bracer
    • Removing Cav archer from civs that don't have Parthian tactics or a meaningful civ bonus
    • Adding an additional column for "eco" for civs that have a sizeable eco bonus (not sure who to include though)
    • Adding an additional column for Elite Skirm + which would include Vietnamese, Aztecs, Incas, Byzantines & Lithuanians
    • Removing Heavy scorpion from those that don't have siege engineers ? (or some other siege engineers interaction, not entirely sure what yet).
    • Remove Hussah from Civs that don't have the last armor upgrade, but include those that have light scout + the last armor upgrade.

    ​

    But yer would appreciate feedback and opinions on what meaningful changes could be made to help improve the analysis.
