    How my AOE2 progresses

    I really Love T90, But I Can't Support Facebook

    Posted: 17 Oct 2021 11:19 AM PDT

    I wish T90 the best and I hope this move works out for him. But Facebook represents the toxicity of social media I gave up a long time ago. I'm not creating an account, not watching ads, not subscribing on their platform.

    I do hope they gave him a huge signing bonus though, because this is certainly a major risk for him.

    Looking for twitch channels that cast games instead of streaming POV gameplay

    Posted: 18 Oct 2021 02:56 AM PDT

    For reasons many people will be looking for a new place to watch AoE2 on twitch.

    I know a few of the big names that stream AoE2 on twitch, but most of them are players streaming their POV. I personally don't really enjoy watching player POV, because of how hectic the "camera" jumps all over the place as they power through their hotkeys.

    I am looking for a list of AoE2 twitch streamers that only/mainly do casting. I'm sure I'm not the only one who would appreciate such a list.

    Edit: Thanks for all your suggestions. I will collect them here for an easy list.

    Is anyone else annoyed by the announcement being so hyped

    Posted: 17 Oct 2021 09:29 PM PDT

    I'll preface this saying that I love this game and all things aoe2 and want it to thrive, naturally I get hyped about its future I remember this first being mentioned by Nilli (maybe not the same thing?) late September as something bigger than hidden cup. Well as time went on, every big streamer was talking about this huge announcement and the hype just kept building. After it's delay the anticipation was through the roof only for it to be a negative announcement... I'm happy for the guy securing his bag, Godspeed to him but was all this hype really necessary for something that seems ultimately bad for the community?

    All the best T90

    Posted: 17 Oct 2021 09:04 PM PDT

    Hey T90, i don't know if the FB deal is correct or not, financially yes, strategically, maybe. But one thing i know is that you are a good person. Best of luck mate. Hope everything works out. 😀

    Found a counter to Turk Fast Imp

    Posted: 18 Oct 2021 01:56 AM PDT

    Since the last update I am now forced to play Arena (since I do prefer it over Socotra etc) I now play it semi-regularly. As you are probably also quite familiar with this scene is rife with Turk pickers trying to wreck with a Fast Imp.

    I've tried many strats in the past but I've now beaten two Turk FI in a row by going for a 22 pop feudal, sending 3 on stone and four to tower. Then break in with a tower. Since the FI is so fragile this pretty much already throws their whole build off kilter.

    As soon as I get to feudal I get the eco upgrades so while we do the tower defence game I outboom them to castle and drop a castle, then just idle to imp into the win (play this one by ear).

    Fun strategy to play too.

    List of peculiar tech trees, by civ, incomplete (feel free to contribute and use as you wish).

    Posted: 18 Oct 2021 06:08 AM PDT

    Inspired by u/aflyingnun noticing something only the Malians have and this Trirem post.

    Civs with bonuses that replace or improve techs count as having them (Cumans "have" Husbandry, Celts "have" Squires, Franks "have" Bloodlines for their heavy cavalry,and so on, but Folwark isn't considered to be always better than Mill because of cost). Heresy/Faith aren't considered. If something peculiar is shared by more than two civs, it's not been included (I made an exception for having all eco techs). I hope there aren't too many mistakes, finding these patterns is not easy.

    • Aztecs - Lack Galleons (along with Malians). Lack every upgrade for their Castles. Arbalesters lack Thumb Ring and Ring Archer Armor (along with Sicilians).

    • Berbers -

    • Bohemians - Non-meso civ without Cavalry Archer. Along with Teutons, only civ with fully upgraded Halberdier/Bombard Cannon/Hand Cannoneer. Between Monastery and University, can research the most technologies (only lacks one university tech).

    • Britons -

    • Bulgarians - Lack Fast Fire Ship/Heavy Demolition Ship as well as Dry Dock/Shipwright/Two-Man Saw. Lack Champion, Arbalester and Paladin (along with Tatars).

    • Burgundians - Have all eco techs (along with Byzantines and Persians).

    • Burmese - Lack Leather Archer Armor.

    • Byzantines - Have all eco techs (along with Burgundians and Persians). Full Dock (along with Spanish).

    • Celts - Only civ lacking 3 Imperial age Blacksmith technologies.

    • Chinese - Have Bombard Tower, but lack Bombard Cannon as well as Hand Cannoneer.

    • Cumans - Have Siege Ram and Siege Onager, but without Siege Engineers. Have Camel Rider, but not Heavy Camel Rider. Lack Stone Walls (along with Goths).

    • Ethiopians - Full Siege Workshop.

    • Franks -

    • Goths - Lack Stone Walls (like the Cumans).

    • Huns - Least amount of available techs. Lack Houses. Lack Onager, along with Turks.

    • Incas - Full Barracks.

    • Indians - Non-meso civ without Knights.

    • Italians -

    • Japanese - Full Archery Range (along with Saracens).

    • Khmer -

    • Koreans - Full University. Have fully upgradable Bombard Tower and Siege Onager. Have worst Hussar in the game. Lack Demolition Raft.

    • Lithuanians -

    • Magyars - Fully upgraded Heavy Cavalry Archer and Paladin.

    • Malay - Lack Chain Barding Armor.

    • Malians - Have each and every tech until Castle Age. Lack Galleons (along with Aztecs).

    • Mayans -

    • Mongols -

    • Persians - Have less than three bonuses. Lack Two-Handed Swordsmen. Have all eco techs (along with Burgundians and Byzantines).

    • Poles - Lack Halberdier, Camel Rider or a Unique Unit with a bonus against Cavalry, and have no bonuses for their Pikemen. Lack Mill.

    • Portuguese -

    • Saracens - Can't upgrade their Knights to Cavaliers. Full Archery Range (along with Japanese), Monastery and Blacksmith.

    • Sicilians - Only civ without Watch Tower (has Donjon instead). Arbalesters lack Thumb Ring and Ring Archer Armor (along with Sicilians).

    • Slavs -

    • Spanish - Fully upgraded Elite Skirmisher/Hussar/Halberdier. Full Dock, along with Byzantines. Lack Crossbowman, along with Bulgarians. Have most complete tech tree?

    • Tatars - Lack Chain Mail Armor. Lack Champion, Arbalester and Paladin (along with Bulgarians).

    • Teutons - Have more than five civ bonuses. Have Bombard Tower, Paladin and Siege Onager. Only non-Meso civ without Light Cavalry. Along with Bohemians, only civ with fully upgraded Halberdier/Bombard Cannon/Hand Cannoneer.

    • Turks - Without Pikeman and Elite Skirmisher. Lacks Onager, along with Huns.

    • Vietnamese - Have Bombard Towers and lack Masonry.

    • Vikings - Lack Fire Galley. Lack Bloodlines and Husbandry.

    What is your game plan?

    Posted: 17 Oct 2021 10:34 PM PDT

    Help needed - always get this when opening game (more details in comments)

    Posted: 17 Oct 2021 11:07 PM PDT

    I challenge all of you to the WONDER CHALLENGE (Exhaust all resources on the map, build as many wonders as possible)

    Posted: 17 Oct 2021 06:40 PM PDT

    Japanese - ideal socotra civ?

    Posted: 17 Oct 2021 06:59 PM PDT

    With their eco bonus, you can mill your huntables early and drush too, and use your momentum to steal enemy huntables as well. Age up and your militia are stronger and now you can go archers really smoothly and drop a tower to secure a presence.

    New computer advice + Purchasing AoE2 DE + 2 DLCs

    Posted: 18 Oct 2021 12:18 AM PDT

    Hi all! The time has come for me to buy a new computer. My old one decided not to launch and repairing it costs too much. When DE was released I could not afford a new one, but saving money + my computer's strike led me to look for a new laptop. So my questions here are two:

    1.- Is there any requirement you would recommend to "go further" apart from the requirements listed on the official site? Here's the list below. I mean, are there any other requirements you could advise me to ask for when I look for the new computer?

    Minimum Requirements:

    Requires a 64-bit processor and operating system

    • OS: Windows 10 64bit
    • Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo or AMD Athlon 64×2 5600+
    • Memory: 4 GB RAM
    • Graphics: NVIDIA® GeForce® GT 420 or ATI™ Radeon™ HD 6850 or Intel® HD Graphics 3000 or better with 2 GB VRAM
    • DirectX: Version 11
    • Network: Broadband Internet connection
    • Storage: 30 GB available space

    Recommended:

    • OS: Windows 10 64bit
    • Processor: 2.4 Ghz i5 or greater or AMD equivalent
    • Memory: 8 GB RAM
    • Graphics: Nvidia® GTX 650 or AMD HD 5850 or better
    • DirectX: Version 11
    • Network: Broadband Internet connection
    • Storage: 30 GB available space

    2.- How do you purchase AoE2 DE + both DLCs? Do I need an Steam account or when it says "Get it from Microsoft" you don't need anything else? And you make a transfer giving your credit card number?

    Thanks in Advance!

    EDIT: I know nothing about computers

    Im new to ranked

    Posted: 17 Oct 2021 11:12 AM PDT

    So I just started ranked matches and I just learned how awful I really am at the game, I've lost 6-7 matches in a row, my elo is at like 700 and still dropping.

    My question is, is it better it let it drop until I get fair matches or practice against the AI (standard is too easy but I still get annihilated by moderate)

    Is there a song that's like the famous "Choppa" but that at any point incorporates "wololo (30)"? Asking for a friend.

    How to control scorpion?

    Posted: 17 Oct 2021 04:06 PM PDT

    I tend to have trouble use them effectively. What stance or formation do you press, for example, against pikes and crossbow mix? I wanted to shoot pikes while the knights chase the crossbow. But what ended up happening is the scorpions don't shoot and simply being chased by the pikes. Do you press any target while using scorpions? Some detailed instructions would be appreciated

    Melee vs Ranged

    Posted: 17 Oct 2021 11:23 PM PDT

    Rather new ranked player at about 1000 elo here. I seem to really struggle against massed ranged units aka Arbs, longbows, hand cannons etc. I love playing melee units but nothing seems to be a decent counter. I hate pouring a ton of resources into skirms simply to answer and mangonels can quite often get outranged/outmicroed (still practicing on this). Is there any sense in going for a more melee counter? Is there even one?
