| Give Incas free squires as a reference to their old couriers tech Posted: 22 Nov 2021 12:52 AM PST What do you think? Also, Incas is listed as an infantry civ but it doens't have any infantry bonuses. [link] [comments] | ||
| Posted: 21 Nov 2021 11:31 PM PST Shout-out to @Chrazini. The way he is running #kotd4 with all sorts of technical issues, last-minute changes, and constant community communication, deserves respect and gratitude. Fantastic job! I cannot speak for @MembTV but would be surprised if he saw it differently. Kudos![link] [comments] | ||
| Posted: 21 Nov 2021 06:05 PM PST Can I just say watching Riley Knight win his first ranked game yesterday was just such a thrill. And then to have him be a part of KOTD is awesome. It's great to see people like him come into the community. Also I'm loving KOTD and the effort Memb is doing with it. This community is the best! [link] [comments] | ||

| Can you still use lan for multiplayer. Posted: 22 Nov 2021 10:31 AM PST Me and my dad want to play multiplayer aoe2. We only have one copy of the game. Can we play local multiplayer with a lan cable on aoe2 DE. [link] [comments] | ||
| Burmese Manipur Cavalry Survey Posted: 22 Nov 2021 08:59 AM PST Hi all! One of the most discussed changes on last patch was Manipur Cavalry changing from Cavalry and Arambai getting +6 vs buildings to only Cavalry getting +5 vs Archers. It's obvious that this has been done to provide Burmese a tool against their weakness to ranged units, especially foot Archers and Cavalry Archers. But is it really that effective? I want to gather some thoughts (both mine and opinions from redditors) and ask you what you think about the change. Burmese weakness One of the redditors here (I've tried to find the name to give him credit but couldn't) wrote that "Burmese weakness is not against ranged units. It is against ranged units protected by Halbs". I'm 100% with this. Arbalesters in Imperial Age (this can be extended to any foot Archer except for Genoese Crossbowmen) are cost effectively countered by FU Burmese Hussars. But when the Archer player mixes in some Halbs, Hussars get eaten. Halbs' best counters are Arbalesters (which Burmese lack), Elite Skirms (which misses two armors for Burmese) and Champions (who get eaten by Arbalesters). A good Arambai micro could deal with Halbs, but with 3 pierce armor when fully upgraded they take 7 damage from each Arbalester (8 damage from some UUs like Longbowmen or Rattan). Scorpions can be good against an Arb + Halb mass if protected properly, but get shredded by Onagers and BBCs, and you need Heavy Scorpion upgrade (1000F 1100W) and Siege Engineers (500F 600W) for them to perform the best. Cavalry Archers also pose a threat to Burmese, who can only chase them with Hussars, seeing that their Elite Skirms, even having Bracer, are the weakest to arrows (only 5 pierce armor as opposed to generic FU 8 pierce armor). Not every civ with access to viable Cav Archers get also Halberdiers, but seeing the poor ranged support of Burmese, even a civ with only pikes (like Mongols) or missing infantry armors (like Tatars or Magyars) could hide their Cav Archers behind a mass of pointy boys. Manipur Cavalry Tech It costs 650F 400G, it is researched at the Castle and it is available from Imperial Age. It feels like the tech will be researched late, since the first resources you will usually want to spend are for Plate Barding Armor, Cavalier/Hussar/Arambai upgrades, creating Trebs or researching Chemistry for BBC. By that time, is it the best to spend all those resources on a bonus attack or would you create more units? How did Manipur Cavalry influence Burmese playstyle when it affected Buildings? Raids were much more effective. A group of Hussars/Cavaliers/Arambai could melt any quickwall and even destroy production buildings (including isolated TCs). Slow pushes were also more effective, with Elephants and Cavaliers acting nearly as Rams. Arambai could even destroy stone walls. How does Manipur Cavalry influence Burmese playstyle now that it affects Archers? Here you have in numbers what u/Sticky_Ice_Cream posted many days ago: https://www.reddit.com/r/aoe2/comments/qqm5in/new\_burmese\_manipur\_cavalry/ It feels like the ones who lose the edge are Cavalry Archer civs. The best meatshield for CAs has always been the Hussar, which is great for a controlled wood + food + gold consumption. But Burmese Hussars could ignore them and go for CAs. Now, with each FU Hussar dealing 11 damage per hit to a FU CA or Mangudai, it seems that CA civs would need to opt for a more stationary push, using Pikes/Halbs as a meatshield instead of Hussars, who get eaten by 13 attack Burmese Halberdiers. Burmese Halbs beat every other Halb, but don't forget that they're weak to the units we're trying to kill (ranged). It's also true that foot Archers (most of them now take 13 damage per hit from a FU Burmese Hussar) are far weaker against Hussars and Cavaliers (I'm not counting on Elephants because of their low speed), but the problem when the Archer player mixes in Halbs remains the same. Yes, it's true that the combat if Hussars catch Arbalesters unguarded is quicker, giving Halbs less reaction time. But with a proper micro Burmese Cavalry still would have the same problems to get to the Arb mass. Arambai have been nerfed with this change, since their building razing potential has been lowered. Someone wrote about them that they're "anti-Cavalry Cavalry archers", so for that purpose they wouldn't be affected. Their performance against Siege, Monks and Infantry also remains unchanged. After this summary, I'd like to know what you think about the change. Have you tried researching it? Did it prove to be successful? I'll give you some options. Have a nice day! [link] [comments] | ||
| What are some of your favourite games ever (that I can find on youtube)? Posted: 22 Nov 2021 11:48 AM PST I don't really ever stream because I don't have time, so I get the dregs of what's happening on youtube sometimes but even then I can't get through whole sets most of the time if they're 2 or 3 hours long. I'd rather be playing than watching streams! It does mean that I miss out on a lot of great games though, I was watching the youtube of Vinchester vs TheMax in KotD 4 today and what a ridiculous match that was! Can people suggest some particularly famous or exciting ones? Crazy comebacks, bold strats, whatever really. Just a highlights reel of the best AoE 2 games available. Cheers! EDIT: I've seen most of the famous t90 ones, more thinking of high quality or crazy competitive and tournament games here. [link] [comments] | ||
| Posted: 21 Nov 2021 09:18 PM PST Felt like this set deserves its own post. Top level clown antics where everyone was in splits for the entirety of the set. The madlad actually douched in a $75k tournament game. [link] [comments] | ||
| I cant play AoEDE on computer (help) Posted: 22 Nov 2021 02:09 PM PST I am trying to get AoEDE on our desktop so me and siblings can play together but it keeps saying "Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition is currently not available in your account. Make sure you are signed in to the Store and try again. Here's the error code, in case you need it: 0x803F8001" and I've tried everything, restarting, updating computer, uninstalling and reinstalling. what is wrong?! (windows 10) [link] [comments] | ||
| Posted: 22 Nov 2021 05:03 AM PST Anyone know when there will be a new high level tournament or where I can find this kind of info? I enjoyed watching the finals of the world championchips on youtube the past few months but would like to follow one of these big tournaments live. Thanks in advance [link] [comments] | ||
| How good are the KOTD4 view numbers? Posted: 22 Nov 2021 02:08 PM PST Hi, I have no idea where to find these stats. I am quite afraid AOE4 will fuck AOE2 big time, and I am really concerned about the views KOTD4 is having so far. Anyone here has some exact stats and can share their opinion? Thanks.

| I get destroyed when I do difficulties moderate or higher. (Help) Posted: 22 Nov 2021 01:51 PM PST I need to figure out how to do better and be able to have a fun time bc standard is too easy but moderate or higher is too difficult. How do I get better? Im always way behind any ai on moderate or higher! [link] [comments] | ||
| Posted: 22 Nov 2021 03:52 AM PST Can I get an F for my pc who hits about 960/1000 on the lowest graphics settings for ranked multiplayer I haven't played much multiplayer as I have mostly always just played the campaigns, scenario editor and vs AI, is unranked still worth playing/popular? I wanted to do ranked so I could find my elo after a while and suitable opponents Edit: should have specified I wanted to play team games [link] [comments] | ||

| Posted: 22 Nov 2021 01:02 PM PST I don't want this to turn into a hate thread-- everyone has their individual preferences-- but personally I just can't watch Memb's content. I'm still very interested in following KotD though! Does anyone know of any other English language streamers covering the event? Thank you! [link] [comments] | ||
| I think everyone got a lot better Posted: 21 Nov 2021 07:56 PM PST I've been getting stomped recently at 1150 elo when I've handled 1300 fine. I've had the ups and downs before, but this time feels different. No more weird walls from opponents when your Elo gets tanked too low, guys are quick walking resources. I think after age 4 came out the people that stayed with Age2 got a lot better. I know I'm not as good as I used to be, but the players I'm playing against in the mid 1100s aren't noobs anymore. Just something I've noticed. [link] [comments] | ||
