    Idle vils in front of the Italian Wonder. (No wood to repair)

    Are 20 vil scout builds just weak now?

    Posted: 11 Mar 2021 03:48 AM PST

    I've been playing scout builds almost exclusively since climbing from 1100 up to 1500. In the last 2 weeks i have not been able to overcome what everyone (and i mean literally everyone at this rank) goes. M@A > Archers.

    In my last 30 games, I have lost 23 of them. Every single one was to M@A builds. Every win was to someone going scouts, archers or FC.

    I re watch my games regularly to try and see what is going so wrong & no matter what i try and do i just cannot seem to beat this. I've tried pushing deer and going for 19 pop, resource walling, vil fighting 11, early range skirms, quick walling, ignoring and going forward with my scouts.

    Was there some kinda buff to M@A builds? up until 2-3 weeks ago i dont really remember seeing many players go for them & if they did, they were much easier to deal with.

    Perhaps i need to wall up much much earlier at this elo? (usually i wall up as i click to feudal)

    What would you suggest? maybe I've found my Achilles heel?

    Any tips/suggestions are much appreciated :)

    What do top players who aren't pro streamers do for a living?

    Posted: 11 Mar 2021 05:14 AM PST

    Hey everyone,

    Just wondering what the various top players who don't make enough from streaming do for a living? Like Hera, Daut, etc., are pro streamers, and I would guess the Brazilian, Vietnamese and Chinese players are largely also pro streamers because even if they don't have as many viewers they need less income to live fairly comfortably there? Also curious if they do have jobs or are studying, what do they do?

    And what about the Finnish players, Liereyy, etc.? Yeah overall, just curious about what the top players who also have jobs or are students are working as or studying.

    Cheers

    New to the game, and I really want to beat the entire campaign on Hard

    Posted: 11 Mar 2021 03:32 AM PST

    Hi all, I am a fairly experienced RTS player however completely new to aoe2 (definitive) and I've set myself a goal of beating the entire campaign on hard. I've kicked off with the Tariq ibn Ziyad campaign since it was listed as the easiest difficulty, and I'm getting my shit stomped hard :D Does anyone have a link/guide to some general tips that I could use to learn stuff faster?

    When to go M@A into Archers and when to go just Archers?

    Posted: 11 Mar 2021 01:19 AM PST

    Hi:

    I was wondering how to decide which opening to go with.

    Also, I'd love to know of any resource that explains which openings you should pick in every circumstance (e.g. scouts into knights if there's no enemy late feudal agression Vs. scouts into skirms if he's massing archers - Note, this may be wrong haha).

    E: As always, thank you all for your asnwers!

    Family AoE2 session - can you have a three player game with only two accounts?

    Posted: 11 Mar 2021 02:20 AM PST

    Have got all the family back for once and trying to set up a three player game. I have the game on steam on my laptop, my Dad has it on steam on his desktop. Dad also has the game on his steam downloaded on his laptop. If I'm on my account on my laptop, Dad is on his on his desktop, can one of my siblings feasibly play with us using Dad's account on his laptop?

    I guess the question is can three people play with each other off two accounts.

    Anyone knows the song played during the Ivaylo campaign introduction?

    Posted: 11 Mar 2021 02:55 AM PST

    Hi,

    ​

    started watching Vipers Ivaylo campaign and really liked the music played during the introduction.

    https://youtu.be/7FJ8de9EJe4?t=111 (part where it starts)

    I couldn't find the song though, hope somebody can help.

    Shouldn't these specs be good enough for ranked AOE DE?

    Posted: 11 Mar 2021 01:59 AM PST

    I have a Thinkpad E580 laptop with Intel i7 8550U, 16gb ram and dedicated gpu RX550 but I'm not able to play ranked multiplayer as my benchmark score is 920 even with the lowest settings. Is there something wrong with my laptop settings or is that a normal score for my specs?

    Update: Solved! It was a BIOS issue

    Civs or strats that implement towers in a wide range of their strategies?

    Posted: 10 Mar 2021 11:27 PM PST

    Towers are my favourite structure in the game, but aside from the tower rush, are there civs that inherently make use of towers in a lot of their strategies?

    I'm looking at koreans at the moment because they get free upgrades upon reaching Castle and Imp

    Should Howdah (Burmese castle-age unique tech) provide +1/+2 armour instead of +1/+1?

    Posted: 10 Mar 2021 02:07 PM PST

    When Burmese were released in Rise of the Rajas, they were an absolute monster civ. Arambai were a lot cheaper and had higher damage, they had the Khmer elephant speed bonus, and Howdah gave them +1/+2 instead of +1/+1. I realize the civ was ridiculous back then, but a lot of things about them and the battle elephant unit have changed. These changes, and the fact Burmese weren't drafted once in the HC4 qualifiers thus far as far as I am aware (the only civ not drafted), have made me think whether the tech should be reverted to its original.

    Here's a list of changes to the battle elephant unit since RotR:

    - Elephant trample damage reduced from 50% to 25%

    - Elephant trample damage radius reduced from 0.5 tiles to 0.4 tiles

    - Elephant bonus damage vs buildings reduced from +7 to +4

    - Elephant upgrade cost to Elite increased from 800f/500g to 1200f/900g and from 80 seconds to 100 seconds

    - Elite elephant base damage decreased from 16 to 14

    Of course, these nerfs to the unit were justified and made them more balanced across the game as a whole. I'm not here to argue whether we should reverse some of the balance changes, because I think battle elephants as a unit are in a good place for Vietnamese, Khmer, and Malay.

    Burmese, however, have a really obvious and glaring weakness to archer units. Their skirms are second only to Turks in defending against archers, since they only end up with 5 pierce armour. They don't have siege ram to soak up arrow fire or exceptional siege to deal with masses of archers. They don't have Paladin or some other high-pierce armour cavalry (think Tarkan/Keshik/Boyar/Turk or Tatar Hussar) to fight archers. In fact, all of their power units (monks Arambai infantry) are countered by archers. Their best bet currently is 8 PA elephants, but with their slow movement and the difficulty in teching into elephants, and with no way of Burmese dishing out damage against archers while the elephants are soaking arrow fire, it's an awkward and soft counter at best.

    Of course, every civ needs a weakness and maybe it's for the best for Burmese to have a weakness to archers. After all, Britons are weak to siege rams, Mayans are weak to huskarls and Malian infantry, Celts are weak to Mangudai, etc... Archers are so prevalent and common a unit in the game though that "being weak to archers" is a lot more problematic for a civ than "being weak to x unique unit or x civ's amped unit" is. I think bringing Howdah back to +1/+2 is a good way of softening up the weakness Burmese have to archers, while still keeping civs that specialize in archers a weakspot of the civ.

    Elephants, especially Burmese elephants, aren't as monstrous and dominating anymore. I doubt increasing the pierce armour provided by Howdah makes any game or situation for Burmese elephants OP or ridiculous. It existed before and was nerfed because a lot of other stats of the battle elephant also existed that made the unit exceedingly strong. Now that those other stats are nerfed and the unit is balanced, maybe making Howdah +1/+2 again isn't as radical an idea.

    Question about AOE2.net

    What is the best way to beat this scenario?

    Red's attacks are already fierce enough. Had a good sized-army to attempt an attack on red's base and I lost to their longbows and knights, making my situation worse, as I got smashed sooner.

    How did you beat this?

    I'm rather tempted to move my base to cyan or orange's city.

    Tip to increase APM

    Posted: 11 Mar 2021 05:55 AM PST

    Play your favourite music at 1.25 or higher speed or find some nightcore version, this should increase your actions per minute by 25 % too :D ...in all seriousness, it worked for me better than fast cycling (to warm yourself up) between groups of sheep, villagers and scout in dark age.

    When I revert the music speed to 1.00, the world around me feels so much slower.
