    Perhaps Sokoto or Mali? edit: Turn out it is the Hausa!

    Ethiopia?

    After these two I expect maybe one North African one or the Kingdom of the Kongo.

    A Thank You to the Aoe3 DE Devs

    After watching the African Expansion announcement, Aussie_Dogo's USA overview and how much of an change and addition they made to the nation plus the creative way to unlock the civ for free, made me feel the need to say thank you. Thank you for continuing to update the game and adding content, thank you for going though the rocky moments and still not abandon on the game that Microsoft once abandoned, thank you for the work and effort on responding to community feedback. Just know that there are fans like me who are thankful.

    AoE3 Announcement

    Posted: 10 Apr 2021 09:19 AM PDT

    I am sure you have all seen it yourself:

    We will have a US DLC (which will be free if a challenge is completed for a short time) on 13th (?) of April with unique age-up mechanic etc

    And later this year we will get an African DLC!

    Honestly, this is (and looked) amazing!

    I'm happy with how they envisioned the US

    Posted: 10 Apr 2021 12:58 PM PDT

    I must say I was not happy with the US leak, because, honestly, I thought it was going to be a MAGA cashgrab, not gonna lie.

    But looking at how they fleshed it out, it looks quite nice. The immigrants system is creative and there are some new mechanics that I'm actually excited to try out.

    I'm gonna try to do those 50 challenges coming weeks to earn the civ.

    How Do I beat Halberdier/Cannon Spam?...

    Posted: 10 Apr 2021 05:44 PM PDT

    The title is self-explanatory. Is the dutch age 4 Hal/Cannon spam a new meta or something? I've encountered 2 players running France against this in the last 2 days. I had an eco advantage in both games and in early Age4 the enemy shows up with 30-40 stacks of Hal and 12 batteries of cannon... I have Imperial age troops. The Dutch have only 50 vils so this helps having 150 military pop. Their Hals are also exceptionally strong. HOW DO I STOP THIS? In both scenarios no matter what troops I made I got demolished.

    Musket, hand to hand-wrapped by hals, cannon = demolished

    Skirms, hand to hand easily = demolished.

    Hals vs Hals, too expensive for me and theirs still has a light advantage from Dutch

    If I make horses, Dragoons I have to sit there and micro and not look away for 1 second.

    Hussars, torn by Hals

    Cuirasser, torn by hals,

    Cannons = They always had at least a batter of 4 Culv to destroy anything I could make.

    I was spamming a combination of musk + heavy cannons + assort horses. Nothing worked.

    What can I possibly make to counter this?

    Few questions about Germany from a lifelong noob.

    Posted: 10 Apr 2021 09:40 AM PDT

    Hi, as some background info I have been playing aoe3 practically since I was born (well since I can remember) but never really played competitively and never got much better. My whole life I've stuck to playing campaign, AI and against friends - I have only played a few online games (and that will never change). I have gone through all the noob friendly civs; started as ottomans, then British, then in the last few years I started actually improving and switched to French thinking their settlers and troops were OP, where I began crushing all my friends and 1v7ing the stupid, easily exploitable expert bots with xbow spam, then artillery spam or imperial gendarme spam. I still suck at microing, I don't know how to FF or boom or anything like that, I suck at following guides and don't really want to take it that seriously. I do my own thing and learn from my mistakes, I play pretty slow, but it's fast enough to make everyone I play think I am a god.

    The problem is, I stupidly taught my friends everything about my French playstyle (it got to a point where I was pretty much playing the same game over and over and they stood 0 chance). Now they have switched to French and rapidly improved. I did not expect them to take anything in. I can no longer crush them in a 1 v all so easily.

    So, I switched to Germany thinking it would be the perfect counter against their xbow spam; settler wagons for a stronger eco, uhlans vs xbows, doppelsoldners vs gendarmes. Here are my questions:

    1. Is this true, does Germany counter France xbow spam (they also include pikemen in age2 to protect xbows from uhlans, might spam hussars age 3, and later get anti-infantry artillery)? Any other ideas?
    2. What exactly should my unit composition be to kill xbow spam plus pikemen, hussars (cuirassiers late age 4 or age 5) and artillery?
    3. I have read that Germans should not fish? Why??? I do understand that they don't get that fishing card like the French, but should I really just stick to land in a noob game where everyone is clueless and playing much slower (so I have plenty of time to build up)? Do I build up my navy regardless? I basically have no idea how to play water maps as Germany. As French I usually made sure they had 0 docks, works well against dumb AI and dumb players.
    4. How many fishing boats (if any)? How many normal settlers? I am usually very aggressive, applying constant pressure and bullying as many settlers as possible to destroy their eco in age 2 and 3 and deter them from attacking my side while I build a strong uncontested eco. Hence, I like to have a a good amount of pop for an army at all times, but I do struggle with balancing that with eco and settlers, and with where to put settlers.

    Thankyou in advance for any advice/response you can give.

    What's the cheapest computer I can buy to play AOE 3: DE (and AOE 4 later)? Currently I'm playing on Mac :/

    Posted: 10 Apr 2021 03:31 PM PDT

    I'm using a VM to play AOE3 DE and it sucks, my Macbook Pro is needed for video editing and I used to play AOE on a custom rig, but that was years ago. I had hoped I could play with this.. and I can, but it's laggy as heck. Is there anything windows in the $500 range I could purchase to play on medium/high settings? I can play normal skirmish but multiplayer gets very laggy. I don't play any other games, but when I found out my favorite game came back.. oh man, I'm beyond excited. thanks in advance, can be pc or laptop. Used, custom parts, whatever would work

    How to beat Lakota?

    Posted: 10 Apr 2021 04:06 AM PDT

    I'm a low ELO 1000-1100 player. I'm currently playing French. What do I use to counter lakota? I'm going Dragoon and Skirms but I just got absolutely steam rolled against a similar numbered army

    Getting stuck on "Updating Component Registration" and "Error code 1335"

    Posted: 10 Apr 2021 06:01 PM PDT

    Every time I had tried to install the base age of empires 3 game from disc 1, it starts, and eventually gets stuck on updating component registration, then has error code 1335 saying that the file Disc1c~1.cab is corrupt, and I have to close the installer. I had installed the game on here before, but then wiped the PC, and it had worked perfectly before, so this is super annoying.

    How does the map work on AOE3? It seems like I’m always on the same side, so is it mirrored for the other team?

    Posted: 10 Apr 2021 03:06 AM PDT

    I don't remember the names of the maps.

    I can understand for Deccan how I'm always on the bottom of the map. Obviously the other team's perspective is they are on the bottom of their map and it's not a North based map.

    But there's the one where it's a left-right map ... there's a river through the middle and a land bridge at the top. I'm always on the left of that one.

    How does it work? Is it a mirror image?

    No Confederate States of America?

    Posted: 10 Apr 2021 03:01 PM PDT

    I think we were all waiting for it to be some sort of revolution or somth, changing the flag in order to play some civil war.

    Am I wrong or is it that they didn't put that in?
