    TheViper has 3 months to coach my mother to 1300 ELO in DE, can he do it?

    The Rundown

    TheViper

    -29 years old - 5'10", approximately 170 pounds
    -Over 30 first place finishes in various prestigious aoe2 tournaments -$150,000 in winnings
    -2300+ tournament ELO
    -Left handed, but can brush his teeth with either hand
    -Enjoys skirmishers
    -No known experience with coaching
    -Second place finisher in 4th grade spelling bee
    -Once killed 7 boars with a single villager
    -Owns an original copy of the forgotten empires, but has a small coffee stain on the disc
    -Invented sneezing

    My mom

    -52 years old
    -Can type reasonably quickly
    -Powerwalks regularly, above average stamina
    -Played space invaders 35 years ago
    -Refers to every part of a computer as the motherboard
    -Somehow installed windows XP on a HP notebook I bought her in 2019
    -Once hit herself with green shells in mario kart 3 times in a row
    -Has 4 search bars from various websites covering a third of her computer screen
    -Calls every console a nintendo
    -Gets visibly flustered playing solitaire
    -Refers to aoe2 as "farmville", despite me explaining multiple times this is not the case
    -types "google" into google before searching anything

    My mom quits her job and moves to an ultra top-secret pro practice house in Norway. TheViper has 3 months to get my mom to 1300 ELO AT ALL COSTS, assume this is a life-or-death situation. He can't play for her, but he has his own computer to demonstrate pro techniques. She creates an account on day 1, and has access to a Razer X-5000 Gigawatt Tomahawk Max gaming mouse, with the LED photon thruster add-ons . Both TheViper and my mother have no further obligations, other than climbing the ladder.

    What do you think? Can my mother overcome the odds and climb to the top 20% of the player-base, in the worlds most strategically elaborate RTS game? Can TheViper develop the patience and composure to guide a middle aged woman through the nuances of Aoe2?

    Fun facts I learned from casting games lately

    Posted: 07 Jul 2021 06:51 AM PDT

    1. Camels just barely trade 1-1 with knights. The actual advantage is, they're cheaper and they produce faster. So if you're making camels against knights, you should always try to outnumber them.

    2. Malian arbalests, despite not getting bracer, are a legit counter to infantry. This seems obvious, but I've always tried to avoid non-fully upgraded units. Sometimes that's not the play.

    3. Even players at 1800-2000+ make mistakes that are easily spotted by lower players, so cut yourself and others some slack. It's a hard game, and most of the time, you win by making fewer mistakes, not by playing amazingly.

    4. Boars rot faster than deer or sheep. I actually lied about the casting for this one (thanks Twest for the fact), but I didn't know this before this week.

    Feel free to add your own fun facts that you learned recently.

    Civilization Match-up Discussion Round 12 Week 7: Aztecs vs Goths

    Posted: 06 Jul 2021 10:40 PM PDT

    And you thought Franks vs Koreans was bad... you ain't seen nothin' gurl!

    ​

    Hello and welcome back for another Age of Empires 2 civilization match up discussion! This is a series where we discuss the various advantages, disadvantages, and quirks found within the numerous match ups of the game. The goal is to collectively gain a deeper understanding of how two civilizations interact with each other in a variety of different settings. Feel free to ask questions, pose strategies, or provide insight on how the two civilizations in question interact with each other on any map type and game mode. This is not limited to 1v1 either. Feel free to discuss how the civilizations compare in team games as well! So long as you are talking about how the two civilizations interact, anything is fair game! Last week we discussed the Franks vs Koreans, and next up is the Aztecs vs Goths!

    ​

    Aztecs: Infantry and Monk civilization

    • Villagers carry +3 resources
    • Military units created +11% faster
    • Monks gain +5 hp per Monastery tech researched
    • Start with +50g
    • TEAM BONUS: Relics generate +33% gold
    • Unique Unit: Jaguar Warrior (Infantry with massive bonus attack vs other infantry)
    • Castle Age Unique Tech: Atlatl (Skirmishers +1 attack, +1 range)
    • Imperial Age Unique Tech: Garland Wars (Infantry +4 attack)

    ​

    Goths: Infantry civilization

    • Infantry cost -20/25/30/35% per Age
    • Infantry +1/2/3 attack vs buildings in Feudal/Castle/Imperial Age
    • Villagers +5 attack vs boar; hunters carry +15 meat
    • Loom researched near instantly
    • +10 maximum population in Imperial Age
    • TEAM BONUS: Barracks work +20% faster
    • Unique Unit: Huskarl (Anti-archer infantry with very high pierce armor)
    • Castle Age Unique Tech: Anarchy (Huskarls can be trained at the Barracks)
    • Imperial Age Unique Tech: Perfusion (Barracks work +100% faster)

    ​

    Below are some match up-specific talking points to get you all started. These are just to give people ideas, you do not need to address them specifically if you do not want to!

    • Well, Aztecs are indeed going to be heavily favored on any open map. Their Dark Age is as strong as Goths, and with their better eco and train speed bonus, they can keep up with Goth infantry production. Now, this is probably not the time for eagle warriors to shine, but honestly, Aztecs should just be able to spam their own swordsmen vs Goths, which should work out for them in the long run. Thoughts?
    • On closed maps, things don't really seem much better for Goths. Aztecs have the stronger eco, which can be further compounded by collecting relics. It's true that Goth spam will likely happen, but Aztecs are going to be one of the best-equipped civs to deal with it. They can go for their own swordsmen, Jaguars, Monks, and SO/SR. However, Goths do have access to the all-important bombard cannon, as well as Hussars for a late game food dump. How do you see Goths able to clinch a win here?
    • In team games, both of these civs are a bit awkward. Aztecs do have a strong start, as well as access to Arbalests (albeit not amazing ones), which can make them a decent enough flank... just never play these guys in pocket lol. Meanwhile, Goths are kind of equally "meh" in both flank and pocket. They have a strong Dark Age for flank, but can fall off heavily in midgame while they switch to infantry from archers. In pocket, they lack a big eco bonus or good cavalry, but it can buy them time to get into their late game infantry spam. What do you guys think?

    Thanks as always for participating! Next week we will continue our discussions with the Burmese vs Khmer. Hope to see you there! :)
