    Capoch's 24 hours stream event

    Hey everyone! As some of you may know, I've been planning my 24 hour (2x12hs) stream for quite a while now after reaching a certain sub goal on my twitch channel.

    The stream will take place on May 1 (Saturday) and May 2 (Sunday). There's going to be plenty of AoE2 during those 24 hours, including top players showmatches, 1vs1 coop with known casters & experts, community games and a little bit of coaching. Check full Schedule below.

    Promotional video of the event: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZzS85BymnRQ

    The event will take place here --> www.twitch.tv/capoch
    You can stay up to date on discord --> https://discord.gg/tSaAMpdsgX

    The prizepool for each showmatch will be sponsored by myself. For every donation/new sub that happens during that weekend on my channel, part of it will contribute on increasing the prizepool. If anyone is interested in increasing the prizepool before the event, you can just send me a message on discord (Capoch#4093) or reach me on any social network.

    Keep in mind, that every sub on the channel will get access to my build order guide (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oiU-r0xiG2s) and will also be able to participate in the upcoming 1vs1 league that I'll be hosting later on May for players of different ELO's.

    I want this stream to be really special, since it's going to be the longest I've streamed for quite some time.

    I hope everything turns out good, and we all have a blast during the weekend! The point is trying to have fun and I expect to get my ass kicked on most showmatches!

    Good luck & have fun!

    Viper's response to the Denarius sponsorhip

    Posted: 02 May 2021 05:14 AM PDT

    Warning ! A reputable member of this community might be involved in dubious activities . (to put it lightly )

    Warning ! A reputable member of this community might be involved in dubious activities . (to put it lightly )

    TheViper just posted a video in which he announced ''Denarius '' as his new partner

    A quick google search will reveal that : https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/denarius-d/

    a. this project has been virtually dead since 2018

    b. there are no legitimate exchanges offering this coin

    c. the daily transaction volume is less than 0.01% of the market cap - aka dead coin

    I think he is completely out of line promoting a dubious cryptocurrency project to his partially underage audience , and many people ignorant to how the crypto world works .

    https://preview.redd.it/6dnqktdc4mw61.png?width=674&format=png&auto=webp&s=955ffe3f73547f201080045194b0c222cded43d0

    TheViper has not mentioned whether or not he owns any Denarius coins or whether his ''partner'' is a friend of his .

    What's going on here has all the telltale signs of a pump and dump , where someone lures new investors into an inactive project promising them financial gain and then dump on them before they can sell , leaving them with a big financial loss .

    Edit: link to the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AF3cv0e32EI

    Edit 2 @ 3:45am CET : he made his video private the thumbnail of the video looked like this

    Edit 3 @ 4:14am CET : added another image

    Edit 4 @ 16:31 CET : TheViper has posted a reponse on twitter :

    https://twitter.com/TheViperAOE/status/1388828066085064708

    Edit 5 @ 16:43 CET : u/cnote208 , a moderator on r/Denarius was raging like a little baby last night in this thread after this situation came to light , someone in the comments put 2 and 2 together .

    I think Viper got scammed

    Posted: 02 May 2021 04:04 AM PDT

    We have a fair idea of Vipers personality - I would say there is a low chance Viper would promote a pyramid scheme, knowing it was a pyramid scheme.

    That video was so dumb, and everyone in Vipers chat always ranting about bit coin, doge coin, that coin, he clearly thought that cryptos were normal investment vehicles as he would respond back about them but obviously didn't really understand them himself.

    The scammer guy clearly convinced Viper it was good and Viper fell for it, what I don't understand is did Viper not consult professionals or Nili or someone who could have warned him or done an ounce of research ?

    As they say don't put down to maliciousness what can be perfectly explained by stupidity. As even if Viper thought this was not a scam, he clearly didn't even consider the risk of the coin just naturally going south and all the buyers losing their money anyway and hating him- EITHER WAY this was just such a dumb idea he must have been led astray.

    EDIT What the fuck am I talking about: https://old.reddit.com/r/aoe2/comments/n2uzcv/warning_a_reputable_member_of_this_community/

    EDIT2: Some people enjoy seeing successful people slip up because it makes them feel better about their own failings.

    Do prefer to be defenceive or aggressive player ?

    Posted: 02 May 2021 01:03 AM PDT

    Hi guys I just wondered . What other people prefer to do ? I am more of the guy who likes to give first punch 😉 And keep fight away form my base . Sometimes it does work other times I not able to do damage and I am falling behind to some who defends well and out boom me .

    I not to argue what strat is better ( well executed one 11 ) I am rather just interested in your Preferences in game.

    Thanks for input Aoe2 community !

    AoE2: DE AI & Wonders

    Posted: 02 May 2021 07:03 AM PDT

    I just played a few games with Standard victory and built a wonder.

    The moderate AI didn't react to it at all and just kept sending a trickling stream of units instead of amassing for a single push.

    Is this normal behaviour or should I raise the difficulty?

    Dark Age:

    - 6 sheeps

    - 3 berries

    Combat Simulator

    Posted: 02 May 2021 06:56 AM PDT

    Hi all, a few weeks ago I saw on a stream a combat simulator where one can input any unit of DE with any upgrade and measure it against another unit. The simulation gives the number of hits to kill and the HP left. Unfortunately I cannot find this simulator and the streamer lost it as well! I found on google some simulators but surprisingly, none does that (at least not for DE).

    Does anyone have a link to this simulator or another one that does the same thing?

    Thx!

    Do You Define ELO As Your Skill Level Or The Skill Level Of Your Opponents?

    Posted: 02 May 2021 05:49 AM PDT

    I was watching a streamer play the other day that was only playing one strategy. They went up around a 100 elo or so over the course of the stream and people in chat were getting hyped that they had improved so much.

    This got me wondering how people define elo. As an extreme example, if someone rated at 1200 only plays Arabia and Inca vill rushes every game, can they really be be considered a 1200 player, or is that just the level at which they play?

    The difference to me is that if you take a player like that and put a then in a different situation (playing a different map or different civ) they would likely lose. If they never got to play Inca vill rush their rating would decrease significantly. A true 1200 skill player would be able to maintain that rating across different maps, playing different civs and strategies.

    I don't think it's wrong to only play one civ, strat or map. Just curious how people think about elo and how they define their own elo. Should it be a true measure of your overall skill? Or just a rating of the level that you're currently playing (a measure of the skill of your opponents)?

    Want some clarification.

    I purchased aoe2 definitive edition on steam. Now if I just purchase lords of the west, will those campaigns be unlocked in my game? Sorry if this question is a little amateurish, but I am not too familiar with playing games on a platform like steam.

    AOE 2 DE AI is baited really easy

    Posted: 01 May 2021 08:48 PM PDT

    After getting my docks and naval army smashed by moderate AI, I figured out the 2 things they hate to exploit:

    • Docks - they'll keep sending Galleons and Fire ships to blow up your docks even if you've set up Castles and the lot to guard them. I just sent my navy somewhere else while my Castles just decimated their navy. Once their navy is gone, send yours and destroy all their docks and camp their base. Send patrol fleet to blow up any docks they try to build elsewhere.
    • Forward bases - They will prioritise killing said building whatever the cost. I like to build at the water's edge so I got ship cover fire (I was playing Portuguese so my Elite Cavarels basically had a turkey shootout). Kept repeating until I whittled down their camped army.
    • Imp age: After camping their base, they just pile up Castles and unique unit. Just walk over with siege and counter units.

    What Does Your ELO Actually Mean?

    Posted: 02 May 2021 08:41 AM PDT

    Hey everyone, ~900 ELO player here. I just got into playing ranked 1v1 and am having a blast (you know, with the usual peaks and valleys - at one point I had a 7-game losing streak which felt *GREAT*).

    However I'm noticing that the actual quality of people I'm facing at various ELOs doesn't seem very consistent. I had matches against 950 ELOs who played without walls or even Loom well into Castle, and matches against 850 ELOs with near-flawless micro and aggression.

    So is there a breakdown of what your ELO actually says about your ability as a player? Say, something like this (clearly outdated) ranking here: https://www.reddit.com/r/aoe2/comments/2d9uhl/breakdown_of_the_skill_levels_by_elo_rating_steam/

    I could not afford to destroy purple and gray because of green shoving units up my ***. Managed to survive with one badly damaged castle left.

    How did you survive the onslaught? My navy got wiped out pretty quickly. If purple and gray are defeated, what difference will it make?

    Random positions? Not sure why we were split across the map like that despite the teams.

    Posted: 02 May 2021 07:56 AM PDT

    is it just me or is the current map rotation just wall in and wait maps?

    Posted: 02 May 2021 06:56 AM PDT

    Seems like the only thing people do is creating a few military buildings, houses then palisades in between then wait

    then the same 5 civs, britons, franks, ethiopians mongols or mayans

    I can start to see why they will go for 8 in Aoe4, no one plays like 10-15 of what's there anyway. Can't remember when I played Portugese or Chinese or Berbs last time

    Share your ideas for future/made up civ bonuses and UUs.

    Posted: 02 May 2021 04:53 AM PDT

    I thought it would be fun to think of ideas for future or speculative civ bonuses. They could be for some particular civ or none in particular just an idea you think would be cool and could at least potentially be implemented in a balanced way (no cobra car UU replacing the scout line).

    I'll start:

    Villager wagon: UU which is more expensive than a regular villager, requiring something like 70 food and 40 wood, but is faster, with a higher work rate and capacity. Requires 50 seconds of training time. Civ would spawn with two of them but 100 less food than normal. Takes some time to pack and unpack when gathering or working, but need not unpack when dropping off, and doesn't move while unpacked. Will automatically migrate between farms to try to maximize the gather rate. HP without loom: 40. Base speed: 1.25. Base attack: 6. Base work rate: 2x villager work rate. Base capacity: 4x villager capacity. Benefits from husbandry and bloodlines, meaning it can become very quick and very tough for a villager. Vulnerable to anti-cavalry and anti-seige unit bonus damage though.

    Homestead: Unique Building. To a TC what Kreposts are to castles. Can create villagers and garrison up to 10 of them but cannot shoot arrows and cannot research new techs or ages. Acts as a mill and lumber camp combination but does not work as a mining camp. Takes 120 seconds to construct but can only be built by up to 2 villagers at a time. Costs 175 wood and 25 stone. Is 3x3 making it very AESTHETIC for farming. Available in castle age.

    Pasture: 6x6 flat Unique Building which costs 100 wood and takes 50 seconds for a villager to build. Spawns a pair of sheep when built which begin working in the pasture. Can train sheep for 10 wood. Training rate is faster the more sheep are tasked to work in the pasture. With no sheep, the pasture cannot train sheep. With one sheep, it takes 150 seconds to make a new sheep. each subsequent sheep increases the work rate in inverse proportion to how many sheep there are. So if there's 5, that would be 228.33% speed, or 65.7 seconds train time. Can also train guard dogs for 10 food in 15 seconds (training rate not affected by sheep count). Guard dogs have identical stats to a wolf or a villager without loom. Villagers will not automatically kill sheep that are working, so if you want villagers to automatically kill the newly created sheep, set their father point somewhere else. Other herdables may also be tasked to work in a pasture and perhaps eventually a unique tech would allow the training of cows instead.

    Barter economy: Civ Bonus. Can trade any resource in the market directly for any other at the equivalent ratio with only one payment of the commodity trading fee. Trade carts and trade cogs can be tasked to generate resources other than gold and do so at the exact market rate, with no commodity fee applied.

    Boarding parties: Civ Bonus. +2 transport capacity to ALL ships per age. Ships may convert other ships at melee range at a rate based on the combined anti-infantry attack of non-seige units onboard vs the current (not max) health of the ship. Units can move between your own ships on water.

    Urban Fortifications. Unique Tech. Houses can fire arrows as though they were a TC garrisoned with one villager, with a range of 5 tiles unaffected by upgrades, making them highly effective "defensive" buildings. 500 food and 250 stone.

    Peasant Militia: Civ Bonus. Villagers may permanently convert to either skirmisher or spearman line units. The transformation takes 5 seconds.

    Woodsman: Unique unit that can be trained at a barracks from feudal age. Can attack at both melee and ranged. Can attack trees and cut through them, though somewhat slowly. Shorter range and damage than an archer but high rate of fire. Base HP is 40 and base attack is 2, but fire rate is 1.5 with very low frame delay. Melee attack is 4 with the same short delay. Costs 45 food and 25 gold.

    Saboteur: UU which appears to enemies to be one of their units (it has a UI to select what type). If selected, it will show that the disguised unit icon, but if individual stats are read, it will show that it is in fact a saboteur. Attacking the unit undisguises it. Has a melee attack. If disguised, this attack does 50 damage and 250 bonus damage against buildings. Otherwise it does 5 damage with no anti-building bonus. Attacking reveals the disguise. If the unit leaves line of sight, it will be disguised again. 40 HP. 25 food and 75 gold.

    Cash crops: Civ Bonus. 20% of farm output comes as gold instead of food. Farms work 5% faster and villagers gather 5% faster from farms.

    What are your ideas?
