    I thought the best game I’ll ever see was daut vs lierrey RBW 3. Then I thought it was RBW 5 MBL vs Hera. I’ve changed my mind

    Civilization Match-up Discussion Round 13 Week 9: Japanese vs Turks

    Posted: 23 Nov 2021 10:21 PM PST

    The two civs who really don't like it when you have a Wonder right on your coastline!

    ​

    Hello and welcome back for another Age of Empires 2 civilization match up discussion! This is a series where we discuss the various advantages, disadvantages, and quirks found within the numerous match ups of the game. The goal is to collectively gain a deeper understanding of how two civilizations interact with each other in a variety of different settings. Feel free to ask questions, pose strategies, or provide insight on how the two civilizations in question interact with each other on any map type and game mode. This is not limited to 1v1 either. Feel free to discuss how the civilizations compare in team games as well! So long as you are talking about how the two civilizations interact, anything is fair game! Last week we discussed the Burgundians vs Mongols, and next up is the Japanese vs Turks!

    ​

    Japanese: Infantryand Naval civilization

    • Fishing Ships 2x hp; +0/+2 armor; work +5/10/15/20% faster per Age
    • Mills, Lumber Camps, and Mining Camps cost -50%
    • Infantry attack +33% faster starting in Feudal Age
    • TEAM BONUS: Galleys +50% LoS
    • Unique Unit: Samurai (Powerful, fast-attacking infantry that get bonus damage vs other UUs)
    • Castle Age Unique Tech: Yasama (Towers shoot +2 additional arrows)
    • Imperial Age Unique Tech: Kataparuto (Trebuchets fire +33% faster; pack/unpack 4x faster)

    ​

    Turks: Gunpowder civilization

    • Gunpowder units +25% hp; researching gunpowder techs costs -50%; Chemistry free
    • Gold Miners work +20% faster
    • Scout-line gain +0/+1 armor
    • Light Cavalry and Hussar upgrades free
    • TEAM BONUS: Gunpowder units created +25% faster
    • Unique Unit: Janissary (Powerful general-purpose hand cannoneer)
    • Castle Age Unique Tech: Sipahi (Cavalry Archers gain +20 hp)
    • Imperial Age Unique Tech: Artillery (Bombard Cannons, Bombard Towers, and Cannon Galleons gain +2 range)

    ​

    Below are some match up-specific talking points to get you all started. These are just to give people ideas, you do not need to address them specifically if you do not want to!

    • Alrighty, with KotD now in full swing, we should now all have plenty of 1v1 Arabia on our minds! With this match up, the Japanese M@A opening is incredibly terrifying - particularly in light of the current meta trends. From there, they can pretty cleanly transition into whatever they want in midgame - albeit without an economy bonus. Turks, meanwhile, still struggle a bit due to their lack of Elite Skirmisher and Pikemen, but their scouts are pretty strong nowadays. They also have the better mobility throughout the game compared to the Japanese. How do you see this one going?
    • On closed maps, Turks are generally considered more powerful than Japanese. Turks simply have so many powerful late game options, particularly compared to Japanese here. That said, when it comes to grindy games, Japanese Halbs and Skirms can come in quite clutch, and the mobility of Turkish cavalry isn't as much of an issue here. What do you guys think of this match up on Arena, BF, and Hideout?
    • In team games, I would say that both of these civs prefer the flank position (especially Japanese). That said, neither are quite at that highest level in terms of strength. Japanese have a strong early Feudal Age and solid archers, but lack really anything too special beyond that until you start spamming Yasama Keeps. Turks, meanwhile, have kind of a different issue where they are pretty generic early on, but in lategame they can crush with cav archers and gunpowder. Which of these two would you rather have on the flank?

    Thank you as always for participating! Next week we will continue our discussions with the Berbers vs Indians. Hope to see you there! :)

    Is is me or the walls this patch have alot of holes

    Posted: 24 Nov 2021 06:35 AM PST

    I played 4 games yesterday - every game there was a hole in the walls where the house and the palisades connected. I couldn't even see the hole in any of those games - even fully zoomed in.

    I have played 1K games to date and haven't had that issue that many times over such a short period.

    Unjust queue dodging timeout

    Posted: 23 Nov 2021 11:05 PM PST

    We started a game and a guy on our team (but not partied with me) dced right at the start. The other people on my team left and we got penalized for leaving. Why am I getting punished for leaving a game when someone in the lobby disconnected before the game even started? Are we supposed to play a 3v4????

    Theory crafting - designing a civ without handcart and/or wheelbarrow

    Posted: 24 Nov 2021 09:32 AM PST

    Handcart and wheelbarrow are 2 eco techs which every civ has. How can a civ which lacks one or even both of them be designed so they can be balanced?

    One way would be to buff some of their non-villager resource gathering, such as trade carts/cogs, relics, and market prices. But all of these have already been done by other civs.

    Another way would to just let them have shit eco but have very strong late-game military units, so they'll just rely on their team to sling them resources to steamroll the opponents. Balancing them with 1v1 in mind will be very difficult though.

    Free Ballisitcs?

    Posted: 24 Nov 2021 08:48 AM PST

    Is there a civ that could benefit from this bonus without it being broken? Of course it wouldn't be until castle age anyway, but an underwhelming civ like maybe Italians could benefit. On water they would be op so adjustments would be needed in that example.

    Just wondering if there's scope for this.

    Should Camera Angle Rotation be in AoE2? (Poll)

    Posted: 24 Nov 2021 07:53 AM PST

    Would it be possible to create a mod for it?

    I always hear people complaining about holes in walls, and my friends coming over from AOM have a hard time guessing where they need to place their walls when normally they would just hold ctrl & scroll with their mousewheel.

    AoE2 World Tour Update! (including a thanks DE moment)

    Posted: 23 Nov 2021 09:42 PM PST

    Hi everyone, this last week I set out on the AoE2 World Tour, casting games from the highest rated player in every country. It's been so much fun and so far we've seen games ranging from 500 elo all the way up to 2500, stopping off most places in between. Most recently I had an Australia special to celebrate games from my home country, and next we'll be heading off to Austria and Azerbaijan.

    Unfortunately the latest patch has broken the recs I rely on for my casts. I've been doing my best to get the downgrade tool working but so far have had no success. For anyone already following the series, this has meant a temporary delay while I try to get this fix working. If the worst comes to the worst then I will just have to carry on out of alphabetical order and return to any countries I skip once their top players have played on the new patch.

    Until then, you can catch up on the series so far either on Twitch at https://www.twitch.tv/sea_bomb

    or on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCw0FxuVx7CTrrujwZ3EybLA

    Game is only running at 3.5 FPS

    Posted: 23 Nov 2021 06:57 PM PST

    I have a 1660 Super and a Ryzen 5 3600 running on windows 10.

    Task manager says CPU is staying below 15% utilization, Memory is below 25% and GPU is below 20%.

    My computer runs youtube just fine, but even with the graphics set to low, I cant get more that 4fps.

    I turned off all the mods too.

    Any Ideas as to what's wrong?

    EDIT: Apparently it was Citrix (An app I use for work)

    honestly, they gotta be one of my favorite units in the game. anti cav archer is incredibly fun to use and they also looks cool to me. however, what should I beware of when using them? and what unit should I pair with them?
