    Beat the most toxic player I've ever played today. My oven timer went off so I paused, said 1 sec and ran to turn it off. I came back to the game unpaused and him playing. When I won he said I paid to win. felt good.

    This game is so awesome. Thank you devs!

    Posted: 07 May 2021 12:09 PM PDT

    I can't fully express how much I like this game. AOE 2 is just such a masterpiece. Yes, it has flaws. And yes, sometimes I want to quit and never play a game again because I lose 5 games in a row. BUT wow! Is this game something else.

    I've been gaming most of my life and I still can't find a game as exhilarating as winning a 1v1 AOE match. The fact that anyone can pick up and play AOE, but it can take years to master. The depth and complexity of the mechanics. The Britons and Lithuanians civs. Crazy strategies like Hoang, Rubenstocks and even ol' Fatslob. The great community and streamers. The variety of gameplay and build orders. I've played 1500 + hours on DE alone and I haven't even touched the surface of all the strategies and got so far to climb on the ladder.

    I better stop before my wife gets jealous. 11

    A big THANK YOU to the AOE DE devs at Forgotten Empires and Microsoft for bringing back one of my favorite childhood games.

    This game is so brutally competitive

    Posted: 08 May 2021 02:01 AM PDT

    And it's awesome. I'm maintaining 14xx elo 1v1 at the moment, and damn, people are good at this game. It's so fun working in getting better myself.

    Long live AoE!

    AoE2 Unpopular opinions thread

    Posted: 08 May 2021 06:13 AM PDT

    Let's hear yours!

    I'll start: I do not like the Tiny Trees mod. I think it looks silly from a visual point of view (even if it's more practical) and normal trees actually look like a real life forest.

    Nomad 2v2 tournament with brackets ranging from 1000-2000+ ELO (1v1)

    Nomad 2v2 tournament with brackets ranging from 1000-2000+ ELO (1v1)

    ​

    https://preview.redd.it/8a7usufs0xx61.jpg?width=2951&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=08ec36057dfde013ea9f7c8749b8cdc601b39b05

    Tournament trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=el_xPFUmM3s&ab_channel=Akkal-AOE

    I hereby announce my new 2v2 tournament, a Nomad start maps exclusive, with more than a touch of randomness! ELO brackets ranging from 1000-2k+. Signup deadline: May 24th

    Brackets distribution:​

    • 1000-1250 (16 players + potential qualifier)
    • 1250-1500 (16 players) + QF
    • 1500-1650 (16 players + QF)
    • 1650-1800 (16 players + QF)
    • 1800-2000 (16 players + QF)
    • *2000+ 8-player bracket
    • (* Can be extended to 16, if there is adequate interest).The players are, as a rule, based on an average of their individual current and peak ELO, and will be placed in brackets divided like this. If the players' ELOs cross multiple brackets, they will have to expect to be placed in the highest one of the two. 40 ranked 1v1 games will be required, as well as recent 1v1 activity. Three players are allowed per team, for ease of scheduling:

    Progress:​

    • The first 8 teams to sign up will be granted a spot (if ELO requirements are met).
    • The remaining 8 places in the 16-player brackets will be "unlimited", but these will have to play a qualifier set during week before the main event starts.
    • Seeding for the RO16 will be decided after all qualifier matches have finished.
    • The teams will play BO3 single elimination until the final, which will be BO5. See "rules" for specifics regarding civs and picks.

    Rules:​

    • Standard random map settings, (see tournament handbook for screenshot)
    • Spectator delay: 2 minutes
    • No smurfing: Players are expected to have at least 40 ranked 1v1 games played upon signup, and to have had recent 1v1 activity. If you don't have 40 ranked 1v1's played, you need to complete them before the deadline.
    • No villager fighting before minute 5, walling in enemy TC within the same period also not allowed.
    • Shooting enemy boar or deer or palisade walling in resources, however, is ok.
    • Make sure that hidden civ is not enabled for game 1 and game 2, so the players can see that all are going random G1 and picking reverse for G2. A decider game 3 will have Hidden civs enabled.
    • In the event of a disconnect, a save and restore should always be attempted. If a restore is not possible, the match will need to be replayed from scratch.
    • Slinging : While banned in many tournaments, I have decided not to impose any rules on slinging in the Nomad tournament. I think sling may be needed in many situations, i.e. if a player is completely squeezed in between two others and needs to recover somehow, from a position far behind.

    Single elimination rounds with the following conditions:**BO3:**​

    • Game 1: Nomad, random civs
    • Game 2: Loser of G1's home map, civs REVERSED from G1(Ex.: Team 1 randoms Huns+Britons and Team 2 randoms Teutons+Mayans. For game 2, team 1 will need to play Teutons-Mayans, and team 2 Britons-Huns, but the losing team of game 1 gets a strategic advantage of picking home map.)
    • Game 3: Loser of G2's home map: Hidden civ, free pick

    **BO5 (final):**​

    • For the final, one map ban per team will be included.
    • Game 1: Nomad, random civs
    • Game 2: Loser of G1's home map, civs REVERSED from G1
    • Game 3: Loser of G2's home map: Hidden civ, free pick
    • Game 4: Loser of G3's home map: Hidden civ, no reuse of G3
    • Gam5 5: Loser of G4's home map: Hidden civ, no reuse of civs from G3 or G4.

    ​

    Map Pool:

    Game 1: Always Nomad

    Home map picks from the following pool:

    Water Nomad

    Nile Delta

    Pilgrims

    Land Nomad

    African Clearing / Bedouins

    NSS Settlers

    Megarandom Nomad (only 1000-1250 and 1250-1500)

    Streaming / Casting​:

    The event, with exception to the semi finals and finals, will be open for POV-streaming and casting to anyone. At event start, a banner will be provided, which I ask streamers to make visible on their channel between games (it does not need to show in-game, as that will obstruct the game footage), as well as adding a command leading to my twitch channel, and a note that I, Akkal, am the host.

    For players streaming POV, it will require a 2-minute stream delay. Since the games require a spectator delay, casters do not need to worry about adding delay to their stream in the event of casting games live.

    Prize pool​:Any donations during the event will benefit at least 50 % to the prize pool. I will also add 1$ per subscription to my channel for the duration of the event.

    For this event, the only brackets, for now, to compete for a prize pool will be the following:

    2000+ (50 $ to the winning team)

    1800-2000 (40 $ to the winning team)

    1650-1800 (30 $ to the winning team)

    Depending on the result of subs and/or donations, prize pool is subject to change, and a 2nd prize may be added.

    Hope to see you around for some Nomad action!

    When would have been the best 'end date' for the AOE2 timeline?

    Posted: 08 May 2021 03:29 AM PDT

    Here are a couple of likely dates that are either significant in-game or in the world of professional historians:

    1453 - Fall of Constantinople

    1485 - Battle of Bosworth Field

    1492 - Columbus discovers Americas

    1500 - Nice big round number, eh?

    1521 - Aztec Empire conquered by the Spanish, also Protestant Reformation in Europe.

    1526 - Battle of Mohacs

    1598 - Battle of Noryang Point

    Which do you think has the best case? Any alternatives that you think would be better?

    Played my first game in 16years.

    Posted: 07 May 2021 05:22 PM PDT

    I downloaded aoe2 yesterday after watching it for most of 2020/2021 during covid. I used to play it over LAN with my best friend after school when I was a wee lad.

    I am now on the train to work with no sleep but with a full heart. Shout out to the community for bringing this game back in my life.

    Streamer tournament

    A question about the Indians

    Posted: 08 May 2021 02:11 AM PDT

    So if the Devs were to make an Indian subcontinent expansion, what civs would there be and what year?

    I am asking because I have been challenged to make Indian subcontinent civs by Reddit users...

    Beat a dude who douched me and he called me a cheater

    Posted: 07 May 2021 04:29 PM PDT

    Just wanted to vent and throw it out there. The dude not only Persian douched me, but then proceeded to tower rush and unleash incredible feudal pressure. It was a very stressful game but I eventually fought my way up to castle age, bought enough stone, and put up a castle and he resigned. He then said it was "impossible" that I could have made it to castle age and that I cheated to beat him. I told him there was no need to be a sore loser about it.

    It's one thing to douche/tower rush your opponent, but if it fails, at least own up to it 11

    If there is a small building behind my castle how can I select it

    "Go to" or "Select All"?

    Posted: 08 May 2021 07:27 AM PDT

    It seems selecting all is much more comfortable because your camera doesn't have to jump on every building and queuing system works a little more efficiently considering the remaining time. But I see almost all top players prefer old cycling over selecting all, is it a matter of habit?
