    Survivalist appreciation thread

    Posted: 23 Sep 2021 03:22 PM PDT

    I really enjoy watching Survivalist. He invents strategies and execute them pretty well. Also I like how he calculates age ups like a mathematician

    He is the only one using donks (missionary). Conq, donk composition works really well once you get imp, donkeys with imp upgrades convert everyting.

    Another one is full karambit spam, karambits kill archers instantly when you surround them

    What's the most fun/satisfying army composition?

    Posted: 23 Sep 2021 01:31 PM PDT

    I was just in a Megarandom match where the map had quite a lot of gold. I randomed into Koreans vs Spanish, got away with a bit of an overboom to 140 vils and managed to reach the comp of Arb + Halb + Siege Onager with Siege Engineers and Shinkichon. I've never got to SO before in a ranked game and had an absolute blast badabooming Skirms from what felt like halfway across the map.

    What dream army composition do you have the most fun with?

    How to counter a castle drop?

    Posted: 23 Sep 2021 09:16 PM PDT

    Im pretty new, when i started, i crashed down to 600 elo, clawed my way back up to 900+ now. Mostly playing Goths. The last 3 times i lost was all the same thing, enemy puts a Castle down on my face at the start of castle age and i just dont know how to react.

    What is the way to counter castle drops on your face? Maybe i have reached the end of the goths and its time to branch out.

    Choppy animations in large team games

    Posted: 24 Sep 2021 09:20 AM PDT

    I've noticed all animations become increasingly choppy in a 3v3 and more so in 4v4. It's like low FPS but not due to low FPS as FRAPS and Rivatuner Statistics server measure the game's performance over 100 FPS at all times. My computer far exceeds the recommended specs for the Definitive Edition.

    I always play on the nearest server with the lowest ping, but could network issues still be the cause?

    Sicilian Hauberk Cavalier vs Burgundian Paladin

    Posted: 24 Sep 2021 08:58 AM PDT

    Similiar to last vs battle with GFU Paladins now I want to compare to most Unique Paladins in my opinion that are weaker than normal ones but they have trick up their sleeve.

    Cross Play Issues?

    Posted: 23 Sep 2021 10:48 PM PDT

    Hi all. Long-time player that usually hovers around 1000 elo and in the last week have noticed I can no longer matchmake with Steam players at all. I'm using the Microsoft Store version and have never had an issue like this for an extended period. Takes me a good 6-7 min to find another Microsoft Store player and often their elo is 200-300 above mine. Only time this has happened in the past was for ~2 days soon after DE's release when the devs dropped an update for Steam earlier than Microsoft, so because we were running different versions couldn't crossplay. Anyone know if this is what's happening now? :(

    New guy - Question

    Posted: 23 Sep 2021 06:06 PM PDT

    I haven't played this game in forever. A long ass time. And when I did, I never played online, just cheated against bots and caused a ruckus for fun.

    I was platinum-Diamond in Starcraft 2 so I'm relatively decent at playing an RTS, but it seems like even though the game is "slower paced" to an extent I still struggle badly in dark age/feudal age, which, whatever, I've been practicing that for a couple days, that's just par for the course until I get good at it. So my question is this:

    I had this genius idea that I was going to play Byzantine since it's a very flexible, defensive civ while I learn to play. Cool. However, after watching Hera and a couple other YouTubers for advice, I've realized that the flexibility the civ offers doesn't really offer me much as someone who isn't sure how to process information I gather from scouting; is this true? I want to just play a single civ while I learn and figure out all the odds and ends and it's strengths and weaknesses, but I feel like I may be putting myself at a disadvantage if part of the strength of my civ relies on me already having learned a good bit about the game. Am I thinking too far into it, or should I maybe learn with the Mayans or a similar civ who has a clear cut strength that I can use? I know Byzantines get cheaper fodder units to frontline for my gold units, but that's about the only strength I know I can use off the rip.

    Tl;dr: is Byzantine a good starting civ if I have no idea how to process scouted information

    SC2 player wondering if any other SC2 players can share their AOE2 hotkeys?

    Posted: 23 Sep 2021 09:09 PM PDT

    Just wondering if anyone has some SC2-player friendly hotkeys they'd like to share? I'm trying to map everything manually but I'm hoping someone has a decent set up already for someone like me.

    Is the netcode up to modern standards?

    Posted: 23 Sep 2021 08:49 PM PDT

    I've got a friend I want to play AOE2 Co-op with but I'm in Australia and they're in US, usually it's fine in games nowadays but I was wondering if AOE2 netcode had been updated?

    TC targeting sheep instead of scout?

    Posted: 23 Sep 2021 09:48 PM PDT

    I just had a scout run straight through my tc, so I garrisoned. As the scout ran through he stole my two sheep, and the tc killed them both BEFORE firing on the enemy scout, who happily trotted away and survived (I only had 2-3 vils there at the time. I didn't think units or buildings would aggro herdables, but certainly surprised they would prefer them to a scout!

    Is this a normal tactic that is used? How do you stop it?

    Can you beat AoE2:DE's hard AI?

    Posted: 23 Sep 2021 08:42 AM PDT

    60% of active players have mastered the "Hard AI"

    We all know that there'a a huge and highly competetive skill gap in AOE2 with some people only being comfortable on 1v1 standard difficulty and at the same "Spirit Of The Law" managed to beat 7 extreme AI in a 1v7 which is absolutely insane.

    For my part, I can defeat moderate 100% of the times but I struggle very much with hard AI as I've only beat it once in my life, then as Incas on 1v1 Black Forest. It was the proudest moment of my life lol.

    Edit: Seems as SOTL used mods in his 1v7. The real record is TheViper beating extreme AI in a 1v5.

    "Sheep hoarder" achievement seems to be bugged

    Posted: 23 Sep 2021 10:10 PM PDT

    I've tried it on a Ghost lake random map vs an AI and I've slaughtered and collecting 20+ sheep, but the achievement still didn't come out.

    I set the vision as "all visible", was that the probably that caused it not working?

    I Start Every Multiplayer Game as Green..

    Posted: 23 Sep 2021 01:21 PM PDT

    Hello,

    I have been looking around for many days regarding an issue I have been having where I ALWAYS begin multiplayer games as green. This makes three player games extremely confusing as there will usually be another green player. Has anyone else had an issue like this and how do you fix it?

    Thank you so much for your help!
