    I finally FINALLY beat the hard AI. Granted I stalled with castles and won via wonder... but still!

    I know it's nothing impressive but after 34 years of life and months of getting wrecked I finally beat a Definitive Edition Hard AI for the first time!

    Favourite Arena Strategies - Compilation Thread

    Posted: 05 Oct 2021 07:23 AM PDT

    Love it or loathe it, full blown Arena clown or instant Alt-F4'er, this map probably provides the best opportunity for any civ in the game to try any strat that you can think of.

    As much as I hate to admit it some of the most fun I've had in this game is playing Arena TG's, particularly flank and playing super aggressively. Even if we lose the game, some of the strats are so much fun that it provides a good bit of relief from the open-map meta.

    I thought it would be cool to have a thread that contains a big list of possible strats that people can try out. I think the criteria can be fairly loose (clearly trying naked boom into imperial Khmer ele's and scorps in a 2K4 1v1 isn't going work) but most of us aren't at this level. So lets just say as long as it would be viable in a ranked 1v1 match and/or a TG above lets 1200 TG ELO then let's hear it!

    If you want to add some explanation to quirks of the build etc then feel free. Use the template or don't whatever works.

    I'll kick off with my favourite and a super common one...

    ​

    Civ: Bulgarians

    Strat: FC > Siege Tower - Long Handed Swordsmen

    People are much more aware of this one now, but you can occasionally catch someone off guard. This works with any civ that has access to siege towers, but the Bulgarians benefit from their free Militia line upgrades, meaning as soon as you hit castle age you can deposit LHS over their walls and run rampant in a possibly unprepared opponents base. Also seen this done with Teutons and Teutonic Knights, but is slower and of course requires the castle first as well.

    ​

    Civ: Turks

    Strat: Fast-imp > Hand Canon's & BBC's

    Everyone knows this one, probably the first 'clown' strat that people may try when they want to try an Arena specific strategy. Variations of this build are all over the internet, but it takes advantage of the Turks getting the tech Chemistry for free as soon as they reach imp, meaning you can get a time advantage over any other civ in producing gunpowder units. Turks gold eco bonuses also help here.

    We did some experiments with Villagers and Autobuilding Farms and learned some cool tricks along the way!

    I commissioned a friend of mine to make a Smash Ultimate-style AoE2 remix, and this was the end result! (I had a big hand in its planning, but not its creation)

    How to protect treb?

    Posted: 05 Oct 2021 08:04 AM PDT

    Almost every time when my army stand in front of my treb the opponent army is able to go through and kill my treb and run. But if I do the same thing my army can't get even close to the treb before they die. What army position do you do for this? Patrol and defensive?

    Anyone else has an abysmal win rate with a particular civ ?

    How to respond to player who walled up and then do Halb and siege

    Posted: 04 Oct 2021 06:12 PM PDT

    Just played against a goth player who walled up everything, have pikes to counter my knights and then go straight to imp, and forward with mass Halb and Onagers. How to respond as franks? Since he walled up everything I had no way to know this is his strategy ahead of time and not able to do any tech switch. I also had like 6 scorpions prepared to respond to the pikes in castle but after fast imp he send onagers

    Best custom AIs

    Posted: 05 Oct 2021 03:08 AM PDT

    Hello everyone, Since nowadays I rarely manage to play ranked because of little time available and the inability to play being sure that I won't be interrupted. The few times I manage to play ranked I get spanked really hard and I feel my reactivity is way too low (I peaked at 1350 months ago when I played more often). Playing against AI doesn't help practicing and isn't fun anyway, I don't remember when was the last time I lost against extreme AI, is there any mod for a really challenging AI? Barbarian seem to not work anymore

    OUT OF SYNC ERROR? Is there any reason why this keeps happening? Trying to play some CBA but no luck. I've checked for updates etc but nothing.

    Which civ benefits the most from the PUP buffs to the militia line? (LS/supplies discount, extra MA on LS+2HS)

    Posted: 04 Oct 2021 12:41 PM PDT

    Could only put 6 options in the vote, so tried to judge the possible top contenders? Japanese, Slavs, Aztecs, Burmese, Teutons and Vikings are all possible contenders as well.

    Are there any people on youtube who review their own games?

    Posted: 04 Oct 2021 09:14 AM PDT

    I know hera does but he's too fast so I don't really learn anything because he uses too many strategies that people outside of his ELO bracket would never use. T90 as entertaining as he is to watch, just makes fun of other players. Survivalist barely uploads, and even then its just general startegy. Spirit of the law is the same as Survivalist. And the pros never review their own games.

    I'm looking for someone to explain WHY they made decisions in games
