| China vs Japan AI impossible? Posted: 30 Sep 2021 02:28 PM PDT Hi guys, I wanted to take out this doubt of mine. I'm triying to enjoy the classic match against the AI playing as China, but I'm finding this match against Japan almost completely impossible. All their units are insane OP, specially that bullshit 10 ashigaru spam alongside other 40 units (including samurais, yumi archers and cavarly) in less than 10 minutes. I try using the classic meta stategy of rushing two villiages, get 3 villagers and just hunt to age quickly with proper management of the herds next to my TC (to cut idle time) building the summer palace and getting the common military cards of age II. But even if I can get lots of units, they all suck! 20 Chu Ko Nu can't take a single ashigaru in a single volley, while I see my even superior numbers (almost 2 to 1) completely dissapear even when the unit is figthing what their suppose to fight (hard counter). I'm doing something wrong here? or it's just the poor balance between these two civs in a 1vs1 alongside the free resources/XP that the hardest AI is obviously getting compared to regular hard difficulty? submitted by /u/Scud91 [link] [comments] |
| Regarding the implied cut Barbary Coast civ. Posted: 30 Sep 2021 06:02 AM PDT I don't know how much has been talked about this but i'll share my thoughts anyways. So today I found out about the fact that Barbary Coast/pirates had a theme song like other playable civs and a homecity in the files that went unused. Civ theme in files is barbarycoast.mp3 Like Ethiopia they were in the historical missions as a unique civ but didn't seem to make the cut. The only other civ to have this before African DLC was Ethiopia albeit they had more unusued units etc in the files. Unlike all the other DLC excepting AoE3DE there were three civs added together with a campaign but only two were added with the Africa DLC. Here is my theory, there is not much concrete info but it has some intriguing points. I would argue that Barbary Coast was planned as a third civ like Ethiopia and Hausa to cover North Africa in comparison to East and West Africa. Now you might argue, why would pirates count as a civ? I don't think they would be pirates but they would be a collective civ like Germany is HRE/Prussia representing the berber peoples. The berbers historically traded a lot across the sahara being the main proponent of that trade and actually did a lot. Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia would have been represented by this civ. In game with Africa DLC there are berber villagers and from what I know they are the only natives to get a unique villager to work for you? Whilst not all historical missions represented new civs I think its worth considering. From what I remember the Africa DLC was delayed which might have been that it had to be rushed and therefore they decided to cut the barbary coast. There are apparently unique units to them cut in the files. Regarding it being a revolution civ, the US was that too but got elevated to a civ status. Idk what do you think? submitted by /u/zauraz [link] [comments] |
| Is Capitalism a good card for the Ottomans in first Age due to their low Settler cap? Posted: 30 Sep 2021 10:31 AM PDT So I know it delays the first Age-up a bit, but for a more economically-oriented Ottoman build order this seems attractive to me. The usual benefits of the 1.65 coin-per-second (100 coin-per-minute) being worth 2.75 base Settlers on Coin permanently without cutting into your minable resources and making your Food and Wood gather-rate upgrades more efficient because you'll have more Settlers on those resources rather than Coin are clear, but for the Ottomans in particular it delays the cost of the Settler cap upgrade at 25 Settlers (100c) by a decent chunk of time (up to almost two minutes) by keeping your Settler count lower. I haven't seen anyone talking about this or using it ever since Capitalism was buffed with the USA patch. I've been having minor successes at my low ELO with Capitalism in a long-second-age build order, but I was wondering if it has potential at higher levels of play. What do y'all think? submitted by /u/GideonAI [link] [comments] |
| Does Age of Empires 3 use an LOD system? Posted: 30 Sep 2021 12:52 PM PDT Just a quick technical question, do any of the Age of Empires 3 models have any LODs (level of detail)? This is when models switch to simpler ones as the camera gets farther away, mainly to improve performance. I'm guessing not due to the top-down camera angle, but I'm curious if this is the case. submitted by /u/jje10001 [link] [comments] |

| Game 1 ⚔️ Chis vs Snoopa ⚔️ $300 Showmatch Bo7 [AOE3:DE] Posted: 30 Sep 2021 10:19 AM PDT |
| Clarifying Tags and Bonuses Posted: 30 Sep 2021 10:57 AM PDT Played AoE3 back before TAD was released. I actually picked up TAD a month or so ago and switched over to DE a couple days ago. campaigning/skirmishing for a month or so but would like to start refining some builds of my own and have looked in the AoE wiki to try to answer this for myself but would like y'all to clarify... If the unit has a bonus against Infantry, it has a bonus against anything that moves on 2 legs-musketeers, skirmishers, and what is now termed as light/hand shock infantry (Tiger Claws, etc). Similarly, if it has a bonus against Cavalry, it has bonuses against anything with 4 legs-both the heavy cavalry (hussars) and light cavalry (dragoons). submitted by /u/spiritwalker83 [link] [comments] |
| How easy is it to find 2v2 or 3v3 vs AI games? Posted: 30 Sep 2021 10:09 AM PDT I like co-op a lot and I'm considering buying DE. Are there people that play vs AI (comp stomp)? How long would it take to find a multiplayer match vs. AI? submitted by /u/MankAndInd [link] [comments] |
