i don't get the reason for a little more hp, and increasing the Pierce armor beyond infinity.

What Civ would be much stronger with one unit addition?

Posted: 10 Jan 2022 12:43 PM PST

What are some units or unit upgrades to any civ to make them OP? For example, there are some obvious ones like if Sicilians or Berbers had Paladin which would just make them way too strong. I thought of a couple creative ones to get us started:

Koreans getting Bombard Cannon - I can see why Koreans would not get BBC for balance reasons. War Wagon and BBC would be a insanely strong deathball unit composition, as War Wagon's only weakness are buildings, siege, and mass skirms which BBC could wipe out. Only counter that comes to mind would be mass eagles or paladins which few civs can set up.

EDIT: Apparently Koreans get BBC and I'm an idiot. This also proves the composition may not be as strong as I imagined it would be.

Teutons getting siege ram - Not only would siege rams benefit from the Teuton castle age tech giving it more melee armor, but you could garrison Teutonic Knights into siege rams and mow down entire bases. What could you even do to stop this?

Frank paladins with bloodlines? Briton Longbows with thumb ring? Celts with Squires? Aztecs with husbandry?

Teamgames ~2k+ atm dominated by smurfs? Lost a lot of ELO already and still most of the games are against SMURFS

Posted: 10 Jan 2022 01:54 PM PST

This is my first post on this thread and on reddit in general, so please be kind. :)

I am an old lover of the game and had a lot of fun playing AOE with my friends - our peak was 1 year ago when we played almost every day and had a lot of AOE:DE-games with evenly matched players and ELOs (TG ELO ~2200-2500).

The last months, we were playing ~50% of the games against Smurfs. The last days we were again motivated to play more frequently, but nearly all of our games were over soon because at least one player on the other team was crazy good and had a winrate over 80 percent.

Why is a part of the AOE-community like that at athe moment and what can we do to have fun with this wonderful game again?

At the moment this is just frustrating, I still don't get why people do this and take away much of the fun for lower level players.

My ELO dropped a lot, and I think I am a better player than 1 year ago...

I'm looking for a clan

Posted: 10 Jan 2022 07:28 AM PST

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for a clan that play tg and speak Spanish. I'm learning the language and I would love to learn it by playing the game. Don't worry I can speak it without too much trouble. I'm looking for people at my ELO level between 900-1300 and who are there for the fun of the game :) I'm gmt-5 by the way. Do you have a clan in mind or another place where I should be asking to touch the Hispanic community ?

Muchísimas gracias,

Loading screen, AOE2 DE, the king guy got a cringe expression one time.

Posted: 10 Jan 2022 01:18 PM PST

Hello

I know the topic might be weird but wanted to know if someone got the same experience as me, or if it is my mind getting crazy for some reason

Some month ago i did some game on AOE DE, and there is that load screen with the 3 faction king, from the first version of the game, (not extension)

and i dont know why, but one time, the loadscreen was really cringe, the King, i think Richard Lionheart, got his eyes more open, and the color of them kinda more blue, and he was smiling like a psychopath.

I felt like , why does he look me like that?

And after it never happened again, but each time i have the loadscreen, i expect to have this weird face.

Just wanted to know if those who play the game more often than me did see that, or it is just me.

(can be a joke from the dev after all)

thank you

Help getting a faster feudal time?

Posted: 10 Jan 2022 10:36 AM PST

Obviously, there's some idle TC time in their, and I think I spend a little too much time looking for my sheep; but do you all have any advice for someone who's first RTS this? In terms of hotkeys, I hotkey my scout TC and Scout to 1 and 2, and I use the idle villager button(which thankfully I do an okay job of queuing my guys in advance). Is there a better way? Also, any general advice to crank my APM by 1 or 2, or help use less APM, always appreciated :)

Friend got me to play aoe2 DE, and I got *hooked*. I found a build order I really like (21 pop m@a) and I like to harass their econ b4 I hit castle and make siege. I really enjoy the game and ranked multiplayer, and I drift around 800-900 elo.

In order to "git gud" I have been practicing my build order, and I am really struggling with getting it sub 11 minutes (I know you can do better than that on 21 pop, but this is where I am starting)

Do you think there are too many civs?

Posted: 10 Jan 2022 09:35 AM PST

This is honestly something Ive had mixed feelings on. On one hand I do feel like maybe there are too many. On the other hand Im all for it as I like seeing more lesser known historical factions portrayed in this game, a lot of the new civs made me want to learn more about their IRL counterparts (which is what happened when I first started playing the game), and feel that the devs have done a moslty decent job balancing them and making them stand out.
