    It's over 9000! Casually jumping from 36 -> 2nd.

    My latest 1v1 game ended on the final tiny island. I took out the remaining enemy with one final attack.

    60 Unit Selection Limit

    Posted: 10 May 2021 12:50 AM PDT

    I was wondering if anyone knows why the 60 unit selection limit is still a thing? I had assumed it was implemented back in the day due to performance reasons so was surprised to see it still in place in aoe2de. Does it have any meaningful impact on gameplay or why do we still have this arbitrary limit in the game ?

    PSA: Arambai are not affected by Parthian Tactics

    Posted: 10 May 2021 02:53 AM PDT

    I was quite surprised to learn this! Despite having weak archer upgrades in general, the Burmese do have access to Parthian Tactics. Since their UU is described/treated as a cavalry archer in many ways, I automatically assumed PT was meant for them and affected them (why wouldn't it?). But, well, it doesn't!

    ​

    (Personally, I'd argue it should affect them, even if this would require a further nerf to their base stats. The current exception is counter-intuitive, and as it stands the tech is pretty wasted on a civ that has such poor archers).

    Searching for higher level teamgame group/discord

    Posted: 10 May 2021 07:17 AM PDT

    I asked around a bit on aoe discords, but didnt really get a response, thats why I'm trying here.

    Teamgame matchmaking is a bit frustrating to play alone with few map bans, as well as the ever inflating TG elo leading to frequently imbalanced games.

    Are there any open/welcoming groups that either play together regularly and/or host custom teamgames for roughly 1900+ (1v1 elo) level? I'd also be happy with just 1-2 regular players! (About me: Currently 19xx elo, EU based, arabia or arena are my main friends)

    Please either comment or write me a message, or just remove this post if this type of question is inappropriate for the sub.

    Tips on playing the long game against AI

    Posted: 10 May 2021 06:26 AM PDT

    Hi, noob player here playing against AI on moderate/hard. The strategy I've become (too) comfortable with is scouting and building forward barracks in dark age while going to feudal. I start hitting economy with m@a/archers/scouts, depending on my civ. I try to form a ring around enemy base and denying resources. Typically it takes me 6-10min longer to get to Castle than the AI, which is not building much military yet. Even if it starts pumping knights, I can generally trap them and force a resignation around 20-30 min. Occasionally this fails when AI reaches Castle very fast (typically Lithuanians) or manages to build more TCs (Cumans). From that point, my micro becomes pretty inferior and my initial aggression gets easily pushed back.

    What can I do to hold the early advantage longer, and play the long game? Should I focus on reaching Castle earlier even if I'm rushing?

    Is there any mod to get the musics from the original game ?

    Posted: 10 May 2021 04:04 AM PDT

    I just want moar nostalgia vibes and I haven't found any mod for this, which is quite surprising honestly.

    EDIT:
    Found one called 'Original Music', was a bit hard to find but got it !

    Google recommendations if you play too much Age

    Posted: 10 May 2021 06:40 AM PDT

    When playing as a calvary civ (such as franks) against an archer civ (britons), should I prioritize elite skirm upgrade first thing in castle if I know that my enemy has archers?

    FPS problems, need help

    Posted: 10 May 2021 05:10 AM PDT

    So I have a Ryzen 1600X and a Radeon RX480. I know, the hardware is from a couple of generations in the past. But it should manage AoE2:DE, right?

    I mean, I could get CS:GO to 240 fps in the past and I have more fps in Cyberpunk 2077 than in AoE2:DE...

    Back when AoE2:DE was released I had rather high and stable FPS, something must have changed throughout the times. Now I barely get 20 fps, there is noticeable stuttering.

    I am playing on native resolution (1080p) and have all visual/graphics options disabled save for Anti-Aliasing, particles put to the lowest and have tried various mods like the useless plant remover etc. Obviously ehanced graphics are disabled. But for whatever reason the FPS simply stay low from the first second on.

    What's interesting is that this isn't the case in the ranked benchmark test. That still runs smooth and gives me a performance rating of 1260-something.

    I'm kinda guessing new maps/new map textures are the culprit.

    Does anyone have any ideas what I could do?

    What game mode do they play in competitive AoE?

    Posted: 09 May 2021 10:16 PM PDT

    I was watching this video of a AoE tournament and the game just abruptly ended and I couldn't tell what sort of objective had been accomplished.

    List of DE default hotkeys

    Posted: 10 May 2021 07:03 AM PDT

    Can anyone point me to a list of the DE default hotkeys outside the game? I ordered a new computer to play DE, and while I wait for it to arrive, I figured I'd start familiarizing myself with the hotkeys.

    I found this link online. Can anyone confirm these are in fact the default hotkeys? https://guides.magicgameworld.com/age-of-empires-ii-definitive-edition-pc-game-hotkeys/
