To the toxic ~1000 Elo Frank pickers Posted: 27 Sep 2021 12:02 AM PDT You beat me fair and square and I was fine with it. I was about to give you the gg wp and resign, but if you're gonna be rude and keep spamming 11, "noob," and "trash" in chat, then you can hunt for my last villager and break through three layers of fortified wall getting to him. We're the same Elo, my guy. I'm gonna go make a sandwich. submitted by /u/Outrageous_Detail135 [link] [comments]

Customising your UI Posted: 27 Sep 2021 04:38 AM PDT You can actually move around the positions of the interface in your game. I personally like everything at the bottom, since you can get a faster overview of minimap, production queue, and recources. ​ https://preview.redd.it/h77qgb8a61q71.png?width=1926&format=png&auto=webp&s=35f6ce06cb57a9273db98b999890b9cbceeea8a7 This is how you do it. Locate your AOE folder (in steam, rightclick on game and browse folder) - go to https://preview.redd.it/chgoes9k61q71.png?width=601&format=png&auto=webp&s=961cc2cc1e325145e8ce7fb2111ee764e878f44b Inside "widgetui", you'll have a lot of different things you dont want to change. If you're really clumsy or have never coded before, quickly make backups of these files. (if you've screwed up, deleting them will probably cause defaults to be created - cant confirm though) You can open any of these files in Notepad, or any other code editing software ​ https://preview.redd.it/3j9u9eeh71q71.png?width=478&format=png&auto=webp&s=e44ea165a3cc1a84a24d0c0098dae2a226a92aac You can have AOE open while you change these around. After you Save the file, the game will instantly update the position. If nothing moves, you did something wrong. ​ ​ https://preview.redd.it/i5my4v3y81q71.png?width=1916&format=png&auto=webp&s=5d1a9c88d69c188847079b10f857a6d3faffbc0a Technologyprogresspanel.json - production queue mappanel.json -minimap Scorepanel.json - ingame score recourcepanel.json - recources I havent found a way to move the Control groups screen, thats why the minimap is offset a bit. submitted by /u/weikor [link] [comments]

What makes Liereyy so good? Posted: 27 Sep 2021 04:28 AM PDT This is a genuine question because I'm not that good at AoE2 and would like to learn more about its top players. What makes Liereyy so good? From my noob POV, TheViper is good at the following: multitasking, strategies (7/10 11), decision making, map awareness, macro and micro. He can hold aggression like few others and is active all over the map. For Liereyy, aside from the obvious, I find it much harder to tell: Of course his micro, unit control and aggression are amazing. And clearly his strategy, macro etc. must be decent as well, otherwise he wouldn't be top3. But is it possible to be more specific? Because in terms of strategy I get the (maybe wrong) impression that his gameplay is usually like this: - be aggressive in feudal, gain an advantage with usually archer/skirm, sometimes scouts, via aggression and superior micro - and/or an aggressive push in castle age with siege and usually crossbows (plus/or sometimes knights, monks etc.) Is there more to his strengths? Thanks! submitted by /u/TooDriven [link] [comments]

Another civ concept: The Swabians Posted: 27 Sep 2021 05:37 AM PDT Just for fun, don't take this too seriuosly. Of course the game doesn't need this civ - but I need it. :-) Coming from the region in southern Germany which is famous for the world's most beautiful dialect, I don't feel represented well enough by the Teutons. After splitting the Burgundians from the Franks and the Sicilians from the Italians, why not add the Swabians? And after fighting at Tannenberg as Jogaila and Jan Žižka, wouldn't Ulrich von Jungingen's perspective be the next logical step? According to the clichés, the Swabians are known as Tüftler (inventors) and Häuslesbauer (house builders), but also for being stingy and keeping their money together. So I took the challenge to turn these clichés into a concept for a playable civ which adds some new bonuses without being OP. The strengths of the civ are buildings, advanced technology, and using their gold efficiently. A nice defensive fast-castle civ with a good monk rush for Arena clowns like me. Civ Bonuses: Houses and Palisades built 80% faster Can construct buildings of the next age (except fortifications) while aging up Technologies (including age advances) cost -25% gold Gold miners generate additional food (similar to Polish stone miners generating gold) Unique Techs: Kehrwoche: Damaged buildings regenerate Peasants' War: Boosts attack and HP of all trash units in the field (one-time use) Unique Unit: Inspired by a well-known poem by Ludwig Uhland, this is a unit which just wants to go its way in peace, but can get really aggressive when being attacked. Swabian Crusader: Cavalry. High HP, but slow movement and attack rate. Special ability: Returns 40% of melee damage to the attacker (e. g. a unit which deals 10 damage also takes 4 damage at the same time). Team Bonus: Can upgrade palisades to Fortified Palisades by researching Fortified Wall Tech Tree: All eco upgrades available Missing Paladin, Siege Onager, one or two archer techs, Heresy, some dock techs, all non-European units ​ And, of course, the most important thing: their in-game dialogue, for example: Select: Ha no! Dô be-n-e. Wa witt? Move: Dô nom. So isch nô au wieder. Attack: He macha! Emmr feschde druff! Aogschbitzt en Boda nei! Select Monk: Griß Gott. Move King: No ned hudla. No nix Narrets. Construct Building: Schaffa, schaffe, Heisle baua. submitted by /u/samuilfeinberg [link] [comments]

Obuchs need a nerf for one obvious reason: they have no (generic) hard counter Posted: 26 Sep 2021 05:31 PM PDT The fact that obuchs dominate every non-unique melee unit while receiving +4 pierce armor in castle age is nonsensical, cuz it breaks with the game's rock-paper-scissors format. Of course you can take out an obuch army with good xbow micro, but right now there's no viable way to kill them if they're under a castle or TC. This doesn't matter much on Arabia, but it makes the Poles totally broken on arena. Few (if any) civs can outboom them, and it's literally impossible to push them in CA cuz obuchs. They just need 1 or 2 castles and their defenses become impenetrable. submitted by /u/Zircillius [link] [comments]

When you scout your base, and everything is on hills at the front Posted: 27 Sep 2021 06:15 AM PDT ​ https://preview.redd.it/ibieygutp1q71.png?width=1609&format=png&auto=webp&s=b00960688f69a8fe411d6eca993595b63ea11d0b submitted by /u/weikor [link] [comments]

Are there any videos about the development of aoe2 meta over the years? Posted: 26 Sep 2021 11:40 AM PDT As someone who hasn't followed the scene for all of its existence, I'd be very interested. What I know about the subject I have gathered from bits of information occasionally dropped by casters and top players. Also, I have seen one Nili cast of a really old Daut game. Things I'd like to know: Who were/are the biggest innovators? Who introduced the tactics used today? When was the development particularly fast? How has the meta changed during DE time and who are the biggest contributors? How much has technical limitations affected the meta and how fast did it change once the limitations were overcome? Obviously this is a large topic and can't be completely covered in one video, so I'd be happy with something that goes through the big picture. I'm mostly interested in 1v1 Arabia. Or if someone wants to write even a small essay here, I'll upvote. Though it might be best to make it its own post. submitted by /u/viiksitimali [link] [comments]

Cicero’s interactive build guides & other build guides Posted: 27 Sep 2021 08:51 AM PDT Are Cicero's build guides competitive ? Should I learn them or should I learn other build guides that are more competitive? Also what build guides would you suggest for a new Briton player? I can beat extreme AI with a simple 21 archer rush build by Hera, are builds like that good against humans ? submitted by /u/PotatoBigBoots [link] [comments]

Team Games? Posted: 27 Sep 2021 08:50 AM PDT My 1v1 elo is 1000-1100, my team is 1400 now, down from 1450. I had only played teams with my friends who's terrible, first time playing teams again (without him) after the rank changes and man did I struggle. I did 4v4, 3v3 2v2 and I felt like I was playing someone a few hundred higher then me. I check their elo and it was nothing crazy, 900-1200 (obviously around the same team elo) do people just not play 1v1 very much and increase their skill in team games? submitted by /u/yike92 [link] [comments]

What a picture. Just finished watching the whole tournament and I’m so impressed by everything, despite the hiccups.

Is there any mod generating a sound when an upgrade/age is clicked ? Posted: 27 Sep 2021 08:40 AM PDT Hi guys, Question in the title, thanks for helping ! ​ background story : I think all of us once in his AoE life had to face the situation where you are sure you clicked the age, but in fact you "didn't" I was convinced that everytime this happened, it was my fault (miss clicked), but few minutes ago, I paused my mind, clicked on the button when it was clear (not red), and the game did not save the input (I suppose it is somewhat related to lag) Obviously, this was my best window to close the game as I was ahead and was going to clear his army thanks to my arbalester. But you all know the rest of the story ... ;) submitted by /u/InfectedFuture [link] [comments]

Long ques nowadays? Posted: 27 Sep 2021 08:34 AM PDT Im back to AOE2 after about 1-2 years and i have 5-10min ques. Is this normal? edit: elo 1300+ submitted by /u/peace1337 [link] [comments]

Civ win rates by Elo Posted: 26 Sep 2021 01:46 PM PDT I thought it'd be interesting to take civ win rates (like on aoestats.io) and bucket by Elo rating. It seems notable that beginners do well with civs like Vikings and Bulgarians that are bottom barrel for experts, and vice versa for civs like Burmese or Indians. Does this seem accurate? This is using the Kaggle data here (https://www.kaggle.com/jerkeeler/age-of-empires-ii-de-match-data). EDIT: Made some recommended changes to color scheme and Elo categories. Thoughts? ​ https://preview.redd.it/aorbwqljlxp71.png?width=1592&format=png&auto=webp&s=6339b8202a86a732bc0eda148e6db7f375201b58 submitted by /u/entangledphotons [link] [comments]
