    I love the new castle designs! New building design's for existing civs would be so nice to see. I wouldn't mind paying a few bucks for architectural overhuals of my favorite civs. Anyone agree?

    Can we get more campaign packs?

    Posted: 02 May 2022 08:00 AM PDT

    I love the new campaigns so much depth and cool ways to approach the way you play through. Would Microsoft and the Devs be willing to put out additional campaigns as DLC?

    Some of the legacy campaigns are nostalgic and fun, but I would like to see what some of the current scenario designers can do with all the other Civs.

    I really can't find a role for Elephants Archers

    Posted: 02 May 2022 06:37 AM PDT

    After 20 games using only new civs, I really don't get it what to do with Elephants Archers.

    Archers are good for damage input and battle control (because the distance). You don't have any of that with Elephants Archers.

    Actually... what you have with Elephants Archers? A unit that can resist mangonel shots and have better resiliance? So use Elephants. "Oh, I need Archers". Use Arbalest. "Oh, I need both"... use Arbalest and Elephants... I don't know, Ekephants Archers are expensive as hell and don't give half of a combo of Elephants and Aebalests. More than that, they cost so much food that you almost never have meat shield to make your elephants archers usable. If they cost wood... I would understand the unit, use it with some infantry in front and GG...

    I really don't know, you guys use it the unit? Like it? It's only me that don't see any good role for this unit except the meme?

    Sompur Mahavihar - Bengal

    Dear Developers, as a Tamil I want to thank you for the Dravidians!

    Posted: 01 May 2022 12:48 PM PDT

    When the DLC went live and I started a game with my friends playing Dravidians and I clicked on the villager and he asked "Enna kattalai?" I was overcome with emotion.

    Back when a new civilization called "Indians" was released people in our nation felt conflicted about it. The various aspects of what was at the time put together to represent Indians was hardly anything that we identify with. It's like if there was a civ called Europeans. Or Africans.

    While we are definitely a nation state called India, the various details didn't add up to a very cohesive idea of a civilization. It's like if there was a civ with Teutonic Knights but the villagers spoke Portuguese when clicked on. You get the picture. Also in the middle ages the concept of "India" was a more abstract term mostly used by foreigners.

    The Chola empire was a civilization that ruled for nearly 1500 years and we were supremely disappointed that they were not brought into the game while much smaller, more recent, and even briefer lasting civilizations seem to have been brought in.

    Not only have you represented our civilization, you've done it incredibly well.

    The civilization's strengths and weaknesses are well researched and well put together - especially the part that armed forces were mostly naval and infantry in the hey day of the chola empire.

    The voice acting is also on-point. The tone, the accent, the choice of words, the intonation, everything is perfect. You've honored us and our ancestors well.

    Thank you!

    Words do not express how good we feel about what you've done here. I first played Age of Empires in the year 2000 on a computer with 128mb RAM. I am blown away that that game has been expanded to include my ancestors.

    Thank you! Thank you not just from me but all of my friends! We are deeply touched.

    Spirit Of The Law - Mamelukes just got much better (AoE2 patch)

    600elo -> 1200elo - My path so far [4months]

    Humble bragging about elo in aoe2

    Posted: 02 May 2022 11:05 AM PDT

    First thing, im 1400 elo.

    I've noticed how players from like 1200 elo up humble brag about how much they suck. You see 1400-1500 shouting about how much people at their elo suck, belittleling all the effort it takes to get there by saying "oh you can get there in 2 week and learning basic hotkeys and build orders."

    Hotkeys and build orders got me to 900 elo, not 1400. It took 4400 hours in this game and thousands of other hours watching twitch stream (most of this was for fun, but still), to get to 1400, and i can't go any further than that even if i pour my soul into every match, it's just not possible for me.

    Point is, this game is tough as balls, and it's hard to play at an even decent level.

    1000 is hard to get to even. So no, 1400s don't suck. 1300s don't suck. I'd argue anyone above 1000 elo doesn't suck.

    This humble bragging trend is inssuferable arrogance in disguise.

    been enjoying the gujara start

    Posted: 01 May 2022 11:02 PM PDT

    I've been going mill as soon as I find my berries (usually 5th or 6th villager) and garrisoning all 8 sheep then stragglers with wood villagers until I can afford a lumber camp and I gotta say it's pretty interesting and fun. I go 7 vils on the extra bushes instead of 6 and get my boars earlier. That also let's me get deer earlier as well which is a bit safer. I'm 1200 1v1 and 1400 tg elo.

    At first I thought it was a weird mechanic but actually playing with it it's pretty enjoyable. I still lose most games as them bc I don't really know what to do in late feudal early castle and the shrivamsha rider wasn't working well so I switched to camels but overall I find it fun to play. What are y'all thinking?

    Do Heavy Scorpions need any more changes after the latest update?

    Posted: 02 May 2022 07:08 AM PDT

    Hi all! With the latest patch they introduced a buff to Heavy Scorpions (+1 pierce armor, from 7 to 8), which is fine for them to resist a bit more arrow fire from Foot Archers and Cavalry Archers. This change still doesn't address their main weaknesses: Melee units (especially Cavalry), (Siege) Onagers and BBC.

    When discussing Heavy Scorps, many of us agree that their use is very niche and only if your civ has a strong bonus towards them (especially Khmer and Celt get the medal). I'm not talking about Castle Age Scorpions, which are very useful against Archers and Cav Archers. The question is about the usefulness and viability of the Heavy upgrade in Imperial with so many counters out there.

    So, I'm asking to you, redditors, what's your feeling towards a possible extra balance change to them? I can think of a few options:

    a) They are fine as they are: No discussion. Heavy Scorpions have their uses and defend choke points very well. A buff would be too much, especially if you have a bonus for them.

    b) I would keep their stats but reduce their Heavy upgrade cost. 2100 resources (even if they're only food and wood) is too much for such a unit with so many strong counters. If you buff them, they may become broken, but they could see a discount to their upgrade (for example 600F 700W).

    c1) The Heavy upgrade should give them not only HP, attack, pierce armor and extra bonus attack, but +1 RANGE also as well. This would help them at least against Onagers and for Survivability against melee and ranged units. Their weakness to BBC wouldn't be affected by this change.

    c2) The same as c1 (also give them +1 range), but the upgrade should cost food and gold (for example 600F 500G), like all Siege units (except Rams and newly introduced Armored Elephants)

    Please comment if you feel like it. I think it is interesting to promote a little bit of discussion about Heavy Scorps. Have a nice day!

    Independent Architechture and Units for DE is back

    Posted: 02 May 2022 11:12 AM PDT

    is it me or is the waypoint system for the ratha bugged ?

    Posted: 02 May 2022 10:44 AM PDT

    pretty much the title. I'm not able to use the waypoints for the ratha, but it works for the other units so i might just be stupid.

    Resurgence -Major AOE2 tourney without Viper/Hera/Liereyy. Who is favorite?

    Posted: 01 May 2022 04:40 PM PDT

    It is interesting to see another major 1v1 tournament we are looking for. Viper is now playing Aoe4 Golden league. Hera is just coming back from LoL. I don't know Liereyy but he didn't on player's list. Because of some personal stuffs?

    It is going to be interesting to see who is favorite there. Yo probably best player outside of those three. Vinchester also have potential that he beat Hera, Yo, Liereyy in last KoTD4. Sitaux is also dark horse here. Also have to mention our legends like Daut, Tatoh.

    New campaigns

    Posted: 02 May 2022 09:50 AM PDT

    after seeing another post suggesting new campaigns, i agreed with this and thought it would be interesting to think of some, perhaps justinians conquests, the life of suleiman the magnificent, 30 years war, the rise of the Qing, three great unifiers with tokugawa,oda, and toyotomi,the Mayan star war. possibly even the dutch revolution using the burgundians as a placeholder could work.
