    Are MbL's complaints well founded?

    Posted: 06 Dec 2021 09:50 AM PST

    As many of us know, MbL announced on twitter that he was taking a break from AoE II because not enough pro players were showing up on the ranked ladder. I was curious about the objective change in circumstances of MbL's opportunities, and I happen to have a bunch of data from aoe2.net on my computer, so I created a table of weekly results to see how things have been going with him in 1v1 on the ranked ladder.

    Week Number of Games Played by MbL Highest ELO of an opponent Average opponent ELO Lowest ELO of an opponent
    07-14 4 2320 2240 2160
    07-21 0 0 0 0
    07-28 1 2283 2283 2283
    08-04 0 0 0 0
    08-11 4 2422 2031 1852
    08-18 15 2514 2337 2095
    08-25 20 2516 2328 2111
    09-01 10 2473 2339 2142
    09-08 10 2502 2462 2420
    09-15 4 2404 2276 2128
    09-22 28 2497 2317 1731
    09-29 13 2416 2235 1647
    10-06 25 2512 2286 1696
    10-13 30 2515 2367 2043
    10-20 17 2454 2289 1764
    Age of Empires IV Released
    10-28 5 2418 2290 2152
    11-03 0 0 0 0
    11-10 11 2498 2313 2138
    11-17 27 2463 2314 1857
    11-24 7 2336 2170 1876

    I am not a statistician, but it looks to me like there hasn't been a noticeable change in the skill of the players he has been playing. I obviously cannot address how MbL feels, nor whether there are specific players he is missing playing, but the overall quality of the ranked ladder at his level looks to me to be about as strong as always.

    Thoughts?

    PS: I used the Siege Engineers Player data to grab all his smurf accounts.

    Pleasantly surprised by KOTD4

    Posted: 06 Dec 2021 09:55 AM PST

    I was scared there would be only MAA into archer, but I am surprised by seeing so many different openings and strategies. Really love the variety of the game!

    1250 elo and above

    Posted: 06 Dec 2021 12:55 PM PST

    So I pretty much stuck in 1100 to early 1200 for a long time now. If I don't make major mistakes my elo can constantly stay in the 1150-1220 range. 1200 players are still very difficult to me and it almost feels that I can never get to that level and above.

    For those who climbed from 11xx to 12xx and constantly staying at above 12xx to 13xx. What changes or improvement did you make to get there? Which civs did you practice? My background: I am always on the aggressive side maybe it's time to learn defensive play and mostly focus on macro? Any tips or sharing of your experience are welcome!

    How does this mobile game get away with ripping off AoE II graphics like this in their marketing material? ��

    Breaking out of 1200 elo

    Posted: 06 Dec 2021 02:24 PM PST

    So, I've been playing age now since just before DE came out, and I used to play when it came out but I was young and... it was a very different experience let's just say that.

    So I worked my way up to 1100 elo once I understood build orders and basic strategies, and up to 1200 when I got a good understanding of micro and macro.

    For the last year I haven't been able to get higher than 1350. I just wanted to know from the people above this rating, what to do next?

    I watch pros play all the time. I watch my replays and there are some mistakes sure.. but I feel like as long as I don't make any major mistakes, my gameplay is strong.

    I supposed I'm wondering if any 14/1500's out there had any eureaka moments that got them out of this deadlock zone?

    Apologies for the ramble!

    battle elephants

    Posted: 06 Dec 2021 01:17 PM PST

    such an under-used but fun unit types. This is perhaps the only shared land units that have not been used at all in KOTD4. So I think they deserve to be buffed so we can see them a little more in the games. I would suggest buffing it cuz right now elephants are countered by so many unit types: pikes, CA, monks, sieges etc. due to their low speed. Their low speed is already an inherent problem not to say being countered by so many unit types. How about increasing their resistance to conversion? They can still be converted by monks if you micro your monks.

    Vietnamese players

    Please share your strategy/build order, strength/weaknesses or how you like to play.

    Do you make use of the 100+ hp for elephants?

    Do you prefer Rattan over Arbalest?

    I often go 20 pop scouts into archers.

    Does anyone have any idea for beating "Into China"?

    Posted: 06 Dec 2021 11:19 AM PST

    The scenario is REALLY hard. I first go to the siege engineer base where I get the villagers and siege weapons. Then I try to defeat the Chinese Engineers. I started with building a base there, but I get attacked a lot by Tanguts (Red). They start attacking me even before I start building a base. Sometimes before I defeat the Engineers!

    I try to build a base on the same island as Jin (Yellow), but there are no resources besides trees, so I had to go back to the mainland, where I frequently got raided by Tanguts and Hsi Hsia (Green), again and again.

    It's so frustrating! I try everything I can think of, but nothing works. Sometimes I try to destroy Sung (Light Blue) as quickly as possible using the bombard cannons nearby, and one time it worked, but every other time it failed. One time, they sent their villagers all the way to the Great Wall! Also, I was under the impression that they only train archers and are limited to the Castle Age. Yet, they built a barracks, trained infantry, and advanced to the Imperial Age!

    So, could anyone please help? Because I am at my wit's end.

    P.S., this is for the HD version.

    Cheater on DE! How common is this and how do they do this?

    Posted: 06 Dec 2021 05:52 PM PST

    What are these trees ? How can I hide them ? I have small trees enabled but it doesn't make these ones small for some reason

    Posted: 06 Dec 2021 07:55 PM PST

    Do you think adding a mobile civ like AOE 4 mongols would break the balance?
