    Does anyone else REALLY want to see an Age of Mythology Definitive Edition?

    Posted: 23 May 2022 06:38 AM PDT

    The idea of playing as ancient norse and greek gods is such a cool concept to me but the last release seems to be 2002... I'd love to see a Definitive Edition of AoM like AoE2 got.

    Anyone else?

    Can we get maps from Resurgence in official map pool?

    Posted: 23 May 2022 11:33 AM PDT

    Basically the title, I feel like a lot of maps from that tournament have a potential to work nicely on the ladder with Fortified Clearing, Frisia, Sunburn, Fish'n'fish and Plateu being my favourites. Thoughts?

    Updated ageofstatistics.com for Dynasties of India

    Posted: 23 May 2022 02:39 AM PDT

    Updated ageofstatistics.com for Dynasties of India

    Hi all,

    Just wanted to say that ageofstatistics.com has been updated to include data from the most recent DLC. I've also re-included the "Individual civ" panel which contains pairwise civ v civ win rates (though tbh you would be better off looking at older data cuts where we have more data).

    I guess the main headline plots are:

    Solo, Open Maps, >1200 Elo

    naive win rates

    naive win rates by elo

    Solo, Closed Maps, >1200 Elo

    naive win rates

    Team, All Maps, >1800 Elo

    naive win rates

    As always am looking forward to hearing peoples interpretation of the data :) . If you have any questions, spot any issues or have any feedback please let me know

    ✨Vululu Invitational✨ starting 12 GMT this Friday!

    Posted: 23 May 2022 06:26 AM PDT

    most annoying part of the campaigns: giving the enemies galleons and cannon galleons that can dodge individual cannon balls in a scenario where you can't make ships?

    Posted: 23 May 2022 07:51 AM PDT

    With all the civ splitting posts here lately, figured this ironically belongs here, too

    Current favorite team combos w/new Indian civs?

    Posted: 23 May 2022 09:06 AM PDT

    Gurjaras/Huns for insanely fast camel spam. Throw Hindustanis into the mix for extra camel attack against buildings.

    What factions are these? From the AOE2 graphics dlc? The blue ones I’m not sure. Purple is Byzantines I think. Anyone know for sure?

    Climbing ELO - when do archers come back into the fray?

    Posted: 23 May 2022 04:16 AM PDT

    Hey all, I'm at 1.3k ELO.

    My journey over the last year in developing ELO: - play a mix of strats up to 1k. - I played m@a >> archers up to 1150 - then from there I played scouts >> knights up to 1.3k

    I've noticed players at my new ELO struggling a lot with archers. Honestly, I find myself struggling with archers too. There's a positioning element I'm struggling with and they are not as easy as knights.

    In getting to 1150, my archer play was very much based on 1 central thrust, lots of archers and siege. It worked at that ELO but not anymore.

    I feel like I need to relearn archer play and I see very few people doing it at my level. It seems like there's a meta from 1200-1400 where people don't use archers much which is disappointing.

    Is this a common/known thing that archers become more important after 1.4K? Or just how they are used is completely different?

    "Are you playing" & "Resign now" - very satisfying comeback as I sneak an expansion Hindustanis vs Italians @ 1000 Elo

    Where did Bassi and Phillysouljah(Philadelphia) and Hammister go?

    Posted: 23 May 2022 03:45 AM PDT

    They created the best custom scenarios,like top quality. I know Philadelphia left the studio but I thought he would be doing custom maps here too. Does anybody know about the other two? I just miss their campaigns so much.Thank you!

    "win with every civ" - dravidians are cool

    Posted: 23 May 2022 04:39 AM PDT

    As part of my "win with every civ" low elo challenge, I just played with Dravidians for the first time on a megarandom land map. Really enjoyed them. Armoured elephants instead of rams, the UU is a really quick infantryman with a weird charging mechanism, they get arb and cheaper militia line. Great civ to play with imo! Also, for a noob, you don't have to worry about cavalry blacksmith upgrades so one less thing to remember/click. I did Japanese for the first time the other day too and similarly enjoyed militia-line spam with their bonus, but dravidians seemed more fun.

    Edit: UU doesn't shred buildings as previously stated and armoured elephant benefits from blacksmith upgrades for cav.

    How does the Tatar hill bonus work?

    Posted: 23 May 2022 10:16 AM PDT

    So I hear youtubers talking about ´taking the hill´ and what not and I heard them say that you do 25% more damage that way, but I dont get how that ties in with the Tatar hill bonus. Do Tatar units do 50% more damage when attacking from above?

    Spanish rise in win rate

    Posted: 23 May 2022 08:02 AM PDT

    Hi all! I've got a short question:

    According to u/coolio9876 's ageofstatistics.com and u/tetrakishexahedron's aoedash.net , Spanish are now top10 in 1v1 for >1200ELO and for all ELOs respectively.

    This civ hasn't been buffed, except for Towers.

    Is trushing so common?

    Have players been playing Nomad-style maps more?

    Has any special strat been discovered for this civ?

    Is Survivalist playing 100 games per day with Spanish?

    Thanks in advance for the answers
