    I can't do it

    Posted: 25 Aug 2021 04:33 AM PDT

    I just can't play AoE online. I don't have the APM to keep up with even 800 elo matches, and I'm so frustrated cause I love AoE but there's no point in just playing AI all the time... I can't micro, I can't spam units out of a ton of buildings or make tech switches while still fighting... I mess up build orders all the time... I can't even use siege units that aren't trebs properly. I try to use control groups and all but all I'm good at with it is microing monks

    Guess I'll stick to single player

    Hera argues that walls need a nerf.. with some questionable logic

    https://reddit.com/link/pb56r4/video/st57qx9e0gj71/player

    I love Hera and have learned a lot from him, but sometimes I feel like his views disregard the majority of the player base. I get why he and most pros don't like how (relatively) easy it is to wall, but I don't think he makes a good argument here.

    ​

    When will they make walls more expensive?

    They already did. There's been 3 nerfs to pallisades (less armor in DA, longer build time) since I started playing DE. Given that Arabia is more open now, I don't think another nerf is necessary. If your opponent is going 19 pop scouts, it's usually impossible to fully wall your base before they get in - at least not without crippling your eco.

    Even in the last version of Arabia, when I'd go 19 pop scouts (at 1.3-1.4k elo), I'd break in before my opponent fully walled at least 80 percent of the time.

    ​

    Empire wars, where you wall 2 minutes into feudal age... Everyone does it.

    IIRC, it was common to see 1 or 2 scouts attack vils in early feudal during the last 2 Red Bull tournaments. Sure, everyone at that level walls early. But the reason Hera couldn't break into Daut's base here is cuz he waited more than a minute to make his first scout, opting for wood upgrade at start. Also Daut has a really wallable base.

    ​

    Conqs received a nerf. Same thing with walls, let them receive a nerf.

    Uuh except it's not the same thing. A unique unit being OP is different than a building that everyone has access to being OP.

    TLDR: Walls are fine, not everyone can build an arena in 2 min. I wish Hera would stop demanding a nerf

    Gonna create Independent Architecture mod - Suggestions please

    Posted: 25 Aug 2021 02:59 AM PDT

    At present my internship tests are going on. As soon as I am placed, I will be working on this. Since it is a data mod, you cannot use it in Ranked Games. So this is for lobby players.

    What I am aiming?

    1. Unique monk and monastery (Bohemian monastery will be replced by Teutonic one) sprites based on religion of the culture

    2. Unqiue Castle sprite for every civ (except Indians, Bohemians, Poles, Sicilians, Burgundians). I have already thought about the Magyar and Frank ones. I shall use the Wonders if necessary but Wonders are 5×5 instead of 4×4.

    3. Add a West European sprite to Donjons for civs other than Mediterranean (the sprite of Tower of Flies)

    4. Change the Persian Architecture to Central Asian

    What I am confused about?

    1. Stable Hussars - these are light Cavalry units at a time frame they shouldn't exist. Only Poles, Lithuanians and Magyars should have the "Hussar", which they already have. Probably gonna replace it with Envoy unit, without the hero thing.

    2. Giving Lances to Knights - at present I only have 1 sprite for Knights (Robert Guiscard). I need another two for Cavalier and Paladin. If I don't have, I will drop the plan.

    The game data will be the same despite changing the dataset. I will keep the data exactly same as the official one.

    Malians strategy 1.1k elo (suitable for a more closed arabia than current patch)

    Posted: 24 Aug 2021 06:54 PM PDT

    Hi folks, Just wanted to post about a mostly all-in strategy with Malians which got me from 1050ish to 1160ish (defeating a few high 1100s and one 1200 on the way). This strategy worked for me on the previous patch, but is way more difficult to pull off with the new patch. I would have continued with this strategy, but the new arabia is impossible to wall off without a non-existent eco

    I am keen to understand other players' opinions about it and how you would counter it if you faced it.

    Key part of the strategy focuses on the old Malians bonus of free gold mining upgrade and most importantly on their longswordsmen having 5 pierce armour in Castle (not to mention attack bonus vs buildings).

    1. Start with a standard Drush and attempt to idle opponent vills as much as possible. In my experience, idling opponent vills and keeping the militia was alive and continuing to harass was better than 1 vill kill
    2. Wall off map and FC (usually 26+2)
    3. Make 2 stables and research bloodlines and armour on the way to Castle
    4. Attack with knights (research barding if against an archer civ) and attempt to break through walls
    5. At this point, opponents at my elo go for either camels or pikes, with pikes being way more common (since they make spears in feudal when my knights arrive). As soon as I see pikes from at least two barracks, I drop 2-3 barracks of my own and research supplies, MAA and LS upgrades, squires and armour (usually have forging from before)
    6. Longswords have an insane creation time and with 3-4 barracks, having 20-25 LS doesnt take too much time.
    7. Next step is attacking opponent with knights in front to force them to bring out the pikes
    8. Let the 25 odd LS take on the pikes, while the knights take care of the archers or move into raid
    9. The LS often take the opponent the surprise (since there is minimal scouting being done at thie elo). Others have tried to make more archers since archers usually counter LS, but this doesnt work with Malians. LS are also really good at countering scorps, so this works in that scenario as well
    10. With Arson researched, 20-25 LS can take down TCs and even defensive castles relatively easily
    11. Keep producing LS at this point from the 4 barracks or start investing back into eco

    ​

    Key weakness I have experiences with this strat:

    1. Standard Drush FC weaknesses including an archer push at the right window (while i'm Castling), which would be extremely difficult to defend
    2. If opponents go for camels instead of pikes, I will tech switch into camels myself at which point the game comes down to a skill matchup
    3. Cav Archers are surprisingly effective against Malian LS, since their extra attack and increased hp and speed counter LS
    4. Holes in the wall (obviously)

    Thanks in advance for the opinions!!

    How to fight mass trebs and mangonels behind multiple walls

    Posted: 24 Aug 2021 02:33 PM PDT

    I usually play with my two friends against me. It usually very even, but as of late they just sit behind a wall and bomb me with mangonels and trebs. If i try to attack with my own trebs they get shot down before they unpack. Usually I play byzantines, any tips to break the stalemate?

    Is anyone else experiencing bugs with gaining or losing ELO in ranked games?

    Posted: 24 Aug 2021 06:59 PM PDT

    I just played a game where I won, and it registered as a win, but I lost ELO and the ELO counter didn't appear on the statistics page.

    The next game I played, I lost but I gained 1 ELO point?
