    The current state of the game is frustrating me

    Posted: 16 Jan 2022 03:14 PM PST

    First of all: I love Age of Empires 2, and that's part of the reason why i'm so frustrated. Please don't feel offended, if you are fine with the game right now. Then i'm jealous of you to be honest 11

    In the last weeks it was really hard to play Multiplayer games. More and more bugs make it a challange even to start the game. You join the queue with your friends, find a game - but wait, Player 2 isn't able to select a color or a civ. Should we quit and restart the queue? Well no, because we don't want to get the penalty for Alt-F4 (which by the way isn't working nearly as intended...). Over the weeks we learned not to use the techtree or the civ selection screen while queuing, but sometimes we forget and the mess starts again. Sometimes this clicking bug occurs from the beginning of the queue on. What a great start (irony...).

    Finally we have a game, everyone has the civ and the position they want to play with... aaand there is the next problem: smurfs. In the last weeks the amount of smurfs we played against was insanely high. I personally will never understand why some people have fun doing that. However, it lowers the chance of a fair/balanced game even more.

    On the top, some people behave unfair or toxic in the game. For example today a teammate paused becauce of small technical issues, the oppnent player instantly resumed, without any comment, over and over again. Of course, that's not the end of the world, but this type of behaviour, toxic comments or insults... it is getting more and more and eliminates the fun part of playing a game. Maybe i'm a little bit old fashioned, but usually i play games, because i want to have fun...

    And this all together is really frustrating me. I'm ok with losing games, ok with getting clapped from time to time, thats part of the game. But those things i described shouldn't be part of the game. Maybe some people share my mood, some will disagree. It's ok, just wanted to "write off" the frustration. Thx.

    Unique civilization/Ethnic skins and architecture

    Posted: 16 Jan 2022 01:40 PM PST

    This is by far the most consistent request from the community that the devs have never implemented, even as an optional DLC. Modders (as they so frequently do) answer the demands of the community and then some. There was the Omkar reskin, that had architecture as well.

    It's still up on steam for the 2013 version:

    ​

    Apparently there was an Omkar mod for Definitive Edition but it's no longer around? Is there any way to find this and use it. A good appropriate civilization/ethnic unit/architecture reskin along with a blood and dead body mod has in my experience been essential. The later two can be accomplished via crimson blood and the body decay mod. The HD version had a reskin mod as well. Where's the DE version we need?

    ​

    EDIT update:

    I did recently come across this:

    https://www.ageofempires.com/mods/details/20549/

    No architecture though and I tried it and it doesn't work. Says the data set contains an unexpected number of civilizations and is not compatible with this version of DE.

    Could this be because you need all the DLC?

    New to multiplayer, quick question

    Posted: 16 Jan 2022 05:51 PM PST

    I clocked over 200 hours on AOE2 campaigns, and now am going to try multiplayer. My question is, is the Magyars civ recommended for newcomers, because I read the civ details and they are a very straightforward civ?

    I hope this was a bug and not a new gen. Every "neutral" gold and stone mine is closer to teal.

    HD vs definitive

    Posted: 16 Jan 2022 05:42 PM PST

    Hey guys, i got a question, i have the aoe HD with its dlc. I am wondering if i still need to buy the definitive as well? If i do, do i get to play the dlc in HD? And moving forward will be playin definitive instead? Or can i have definitive without the HD version and still play its DLCs? Sorry for the poor words, english not my native language.

    Favorite campaign pack?

    Fellow idle villages, what’s the best way to defend your castle, once you’ve castle dropped?

    Posted: 16 Jan 2022 02:05 PM PST

    I love an early castle drop and overcommitting a load of eco to get one up as I find it puts me in a strong position due to panic created or an instant GG, but as I've got to a higher Elo I find my castles being toppled due to a quick military response I.E knights/rams

    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

    I've also tried using the Francs and double castle dropping due to their cheap castles which is great fun
