    Add a way to reconect to a multiplayer match.

    Posted: 19 Apr 2021 05:14 AM PDT

    So my game crashed for the second time in a multiplayer game, in a 4 vs 4, and i just can't rejoin the game. Have been playing the game for 90+ hours on DE Edition and it has never crash. Now in 1 week it has crashed 2 times. The option to reconect its basic, but its even more important if the game keep crashing.

    Is Cysion still around?

    Posted: 19 Apr 2021 02:02 AM PDT

    I'm trying to get hold of him to see if he still has any of the old 1999 game's assets - looking for screenshots of the 3d models specifically, like the one he posted here:

    If anyone knows how I could get in touch with him let me know!

    The dirtiest trick in the game. The fake GG.

    Posted: 18 Apr 2021 10:50 AM PDT

    I just had an opponent call a false GG, and it feels really bad.

    It was in the middle of a critical engagement, and my opponent says simply "gg". I reply gg, relax with my micro, meanwhile my opponent turned up the heat and won the fight decisively.

    In retrospect, he may have been calling a reverse gg rather than a fake gg, meaning he was calling gg for me since he was certain he would win. Either way, it's a really shitty way to end a game, and is highly unsportsmanlike and toxic.

    I can deal with salt and rudeness, but for some reason this particular incident really left me feeling bad. It's not as 'strong' of a move as disconnecting to prevent a loss, but calling gg for the opponent in the middle of an intense fight, where it is totally unclear if the game is over is a total dick move.

    How do I get into AOE2?

    Posted: 18 Apr 2021 11:22 PM PDT

    Hi everyone! I have always been interested in RTS games. When I was younger I'd watch my family on LAN play age of empires 2 all the time and I always wanted to learn and play. I enjoy the game I used to watch spirit of the law a lot. Before the Definitive edition I had around 50 hours poured into it on Steam. I recently bought the Definitive edition however I cannot get into it as much as I can other RTS games. I've always tried however I've never been as dedicated as to say Paradox games. (1000 hours in EU4 and 600 in HOI4.) I want the same level of dedication in this game as well and I love all the aspects of the game. I just wonder am I going about playing it wrong? Is there something I'm missing? Is it that I need to find people to play with? I love games like these but I struggle to get into this one.

    I think part of it is that I don't feel like I can play as casually as other RTS games. Maybe it's just me.

    Any help, advice, or comments would be greatly appreciated!

    (P.S. sorry for my lack of English skills it isn't my first language.)

    Downgrade AoE2DE Without Steam Credentials Using DERM Tool

    Posted: 18 Apr 2021 04:47 PM PDT

    Downgrade AoE2DE Without Steam Credentials Using DERM Tool

    Hello Beloved Community 👋

    The Downgrade Tool from DERM (DE Replays Manger) no longer requires your steam credentials. Yes! Seriously just check "Skip Steam Login" and you're ready to go.

    Why Downgrade AoE2 DE To Previous Versions? To 👁️ View Old recorded games e.g. Hidden Cup 4 games.

    https://preview.redd.it/wv8f27db31u61.jpg?width=671&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=45287c7420faf4b1dbcf677dc14716c54f4e4466

    Download Latest DE Replays Manger V 1.3.5

    https://github.com/gregstein/DE-Replays-Manager/releases/tag/1.3.5.0

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐​

    What's new in DERM?​

    A handful of UI and user experience improvements to make your AoE2DE experience easier:

    ✔️Downgrade/Upgrade Percentage progress should display in the same window instead of those messy command lines.(Demo above)​

    ✔️Check "Skip Steam Login" to downgrade/upgrade without inserting your steam credentials. (If you can't downgrade to some random version then you have to use steam credentials instead .)​

    https://preview.redd.it/tdb8m4a5q0u61.jpg?width=708&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=216144233f155a5587ccde8c15ea2d0f7ac0d452

    ✔️ Improved the downgrade tool performance significantly. Faster Downloads & File verifications.​

    ✔️ Downgrade Tool "Settings" button includes new features: Change your game directory; Customize Simultaneous downloads (choose high value if your internet is bad).​

    https://preview.redd.it/n2ctorb1q0u61.jpg?width=368&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3581adc782e43d7836694534f6917a85f8753742

    ✔️ You can now Drag&Drop or import zip files of recorded games or regular recorded files in the Browser Tab.​

    https://preview.redd.it/jcvrclitq0u61.jpg?width=707&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6e818b72011c088b56fa521ba0f078ce198a8dd0

    ✔️ Go To Settings Tab and turn on Add DERM to Windows Defender so you no longer get download chunk errors during downgrade.​

    ✔️ DERM will check your Steam only once to grab your game path. Or you can equally set a custom game path in the downgrade tool window > Settings button.​

    ✔️ In the "Browse Replays" tab, your recorded games should now show player names & chat properly.​

    ✔️ Other minor fixes and optimizations.​

    A Quick Reminder of DERM (DE Replays Manager)?- Drag&Drop recs from ageofempires.com or other third-party websites.- Includes the Downgrade Tool to downgrade AoE2 DE to earlier versions (Viewing replays purposes).- Manage your replays folder (rename, delete, import & export recorded games).- Multiple accounts support for Replay management.- Built-in Live Search Player profiles on Ageofempires.com and other stats.

    An interesting idea for a civ bonus

    Posted: 19 Apr 2021 03:02 AM PDT

    What do you think of gaining 50% of the cost of an enemie building when destroyed, eg 50 wood for destroying a mill or 375 stone for destroying a castle.

    That will encourage Maa and/or all in castle age strat with siege and would fit well an infantry and/or siege civ. Just image a goth-like or Celt-like civ with that bonus.

    Custom scenarios need to have exact amount of players?

    Posted: 19 Apr 2021 06:11 AM PDT

    Ok so I've started working out how to make a secret missions diplomacy map. But running into some issues.

    Custom scenarios have to have exact amount of players set e.g 4 players, or 8 players. Ideally, I'm looking to make a map where it's 8 players, but say if you only had 6 people, that would work as well. Is there any trigger conditions that I suppose identify whether it is a player or AI or empty slot? (infact I can't even find a way to make it so that an empty slot occurs)

    Cheers

    Finally won a game against the moderate AI

    Posted: 18 Apr 2021 04:06 PM PDT

    Last couple days I've been getting my ass handed to me by the moderate AI. I'm a fairly casual player that just got back into aoe, but I thought moderate wouldn't be so hard. After re-learning some build orders and booming effectively I finally got a W. Doesn't seem like much, but shiiii I'm happy with it.

    STILL not getting any Xbox achievements

    Posted: 19 Apr 2021 01:16 AM PDT

    All mods disabled, PC completely reinstalled. Just finished the Tamerlane campaign, the Tatar victory achievement is still not unlocked. None of the still locked achievements get unlocked. Played a random map against ai with Tatars and Malay, both of them did not unlock. I have this problem for a year now. When will this finally be fixed?

    Which Archer line would you prefer among these?

    Posted: 19 Apr 2021 07:26 AM PDT

    Which of these will you prefer to have after fully upgradeable Arbalesters, in Post Imperial situations. I guess online you won't see something other than Khmer Arbalesters, just because Turks and Mongols have good Cavalry Archers!

    Do reports work well in AOE2? I've sadly found far more toxicity in ranked that I was expecting.

    What is a good hotkey setup?

    Posted: 19 Apr 2021 06:59 AM PDT

    What is a good hotkey setup?

    Hi all, i'm trying to learn the game and i am discovering how usefull the hotkeys are, but i'm a bit confused: i'm getting used to an hotkey build based on every slot corresponding the letter on the keyboard in the right order :

    https://preview.redd.it/fux2wetpr4u61.png?width=270&format=png&auto=webp&s=e4f4698990f7d276e088f2e935584e72b56192f3

    and the same is on the military buildings, so i decide witch kind of building (eco or military) with the 2 initial buttons.

    I saw some videos and a lot of players, like TheViper, use a "strange" keybinding, like E for houses, U for university, I for mill and etc.

    So i was wondering, what is my keybinding that bad? Why everyone use such a "messy" keybinding or what is the sense for it?
