    India DLC campaign no longer editable in map editor?

    Posted: 21 May 2022 08:06 PM PDT

    I used to edit the official campaign to turn them into multiplayer so I can play together with my friends. But it seems the new India DLC campaign is no longer editable? It has a different file type that it does not use the .aoe2campaign file

    (Editor) How to turn off shared exploration?

    Posted: 21 May 2022 06:41 PM PDT

    I've been trying my hand at making a campaign and I can't figure out how to turn off shared exploration between allies. I've tried disabling Cartography in both the options and triggers menus, and I've tried using the 'Set Player Visibility' trigger but nothing seems to work.

    Dravidian Campaign is AWFUL

    Posted: 21 May 2022 07:59 PM PDT

    As far as Indian Dynasties go, I am so glad I put off the Dravidian Campaign off until the end because this campaign SUCKS. It's not that I'm playing on hard.It's not that ALL of the achievements forced me into RPing as a bastard (FUCK this dev by the way). It's that this dev does not remotely reward you for playing smart, makes you grind and grind and grind your fucking teeth into the dirt.

    The Babur and Davanpala campaign were great, and I played them on hard too. I loved them. They were difficult and often long but I felt rewarded and challenged, not drained and demoralized.

    See, when World of Warcraft first came out you got a debuff for playing too long. Everyone hated it. Then they gave you an experience bonus for logging off and getting some sleep, presumably, and everyone loved it. Same difference but different mindset.

    THE SUCCESSOR: The Successor Or Dickhead Lawful Evil Game Master

    One of the side goals is to liberate peasant villages and get tribute from them. What you don't get is clear instructions on what your actually supposed to do: find a staging fort, kill the garrison but not the towers cause you'll take those intact and there's a trail to the elephant enclosure but only if you get SUPER close to tower that shoots at you. There are no hints about these either.

    And, if you liberate ANY of these, the dickhead king will attack ALL of the villages, not just the one you liberated ALL of them AND your ally is hostile to the village garrisons so you have to spend the entire mission babysitting THEM with flares to keep them from liberating the nearby villages so the ones on the other side of the map don't get slaughtered out of existence

    This kind of well you were given hints bullshit is why I will NEVER do tabletop AGAIN! This map was designed by a jackass.

    DEEDS OF THE FATHER: What a fucking Waste

    One this mission glitched out on me at the third wave, it didn't come do I was able to cheese the SHIT out of this, and THANK GOD. This map is a fucking Avocado, a a meat grinder of two corridor of shooting galleries. Orange has at least 15 docks and enough stables to drown Hercules in elephant shit.

    You can't rebuild the old capital, you can't lead a force through the high mountains to seize the crown jewels, can't make a daring amphibious landing behind Purples castle and seize their TC and thus keep their castle intact, and make your king think he's captured blue king intact.

    This is a young king who says he wants to be benevolent? And he's succumbing to darkness? Well have him try clever and benevolent things? Try bribing orange and it makes a truce but it makes things worse. Something other than ENDLESS UNIT SPAM.

    And speaking of such....

    RISING STAR: Would You Like Some Bullshit With Your Cheese?

    Storm in the sea.....not a terrible idea....damage is TOO much, to where I have to restart civilization in the middle of the Adamanese islands to make it through to India without save scumming like a damn Rougelike. And on hard, you CANNOT make it through the coast with your starting ships, the pirates will eat you, Gaia help or no.

    Then if you DON'T cheese the fuck out of this mission and don't utterly wipe the light blue faction out of existence before delivering the cart and envoy they will IMMEDIATELY send waves of trash and a couple of trebs to screw you over with all the gold they were mining while you were trying to keep your fleet alive through all the damn pirates and the pirates will start swarming from every corner of the map like cockroaches from an even less funny version of Joe's Apartment and you'll spend HOURS, prying victory from the jaws of defeat, dealing with one giant spawn after another.

    If you cheese it, it takes just as long but you don't have do deal with all the human waves.

    Then all the Prestige challenges come up, which WOULD be fun fun, except the triggers are badly implemented. By the time you get to the mainland, the second you turn over the yellow kingdom can't be vassalized, has to be destroyed completely, minor issue.

    More importantly, once you have 10 prestige points, you win, end of scenario. Would be nice to have a final win condition like the second Le Loi mission where you had to but a hero unit to finish the mission, that way you could fulfill has many prestige objectives as you wanted so you could do ALL of them if you wanted, without having to game things

    SACRED WATERS: Timed Mission on the Stroll

    I cannot begin to tell you how much I hate this mission. It's one thing to have the achievement require I blow up the Monument before it's completed, and it's on the other side of the map. FINE. BS, but fine. But when it's done there's a countdown to a WONDER VICTORY?! When I have side objectives all over the fucking map?! And I can only build supplies and troops with my king is inside the city?! WTF?!!!!!

    struggle vs castle drops

    Posted: 21 May 2022 05:52 PM PDT

    Basically this. 1v1 arena even if I see Franks and know without a doubt its coming I usually lose. I like Mayan on arena but I feel that hurts having to use eagles instead of scouts. I've turtled back but the constant pressure makes it hard to get out. Any tips to counter?
