    Used the AOE2 color tool to turn the annoying grey into black, and I think this should be standard

    My firat AoE2 meme. Anyone else wish you could queue up an attack move after a waypoint? Right now if you try and do that they will not finish the preset waypoint and just attack the first lumbercamp they see.

    Can we maintain this game... forever?

    Practice is not enough

    A like to have feature - Ability to select a list of civs to random pick from.

    Posted: 15 Jun 2022 10:07 PM PDT

    Similar to the option to pick a group of maps in a lobby, I'd like to see an option where instead of picking one civ, the game selects a civ based on a list of civs.. let's say I get a water maps, I can select a 5 civs and the game would pick one of them to keep it interesting.

    I am not thinking about taking away civ picking but the option of randomizing within a set rather than entire civ list. For example, I'd like random civ in Arabia but maybe not goths or Byzantines. Your thoughts?

    Opinions on buffing Bengalis

    Posted: 16 Jun 2022 09:07 AM PDT

    Considering their ELO rating is below average in closed maps and downright horrible on open maps, it's apperant that Bengalis need a buff of some sort. Though I've seen some rather conflicting opinions on that.

    Some want them to remain purely focused on elephants without any more flexibility and just improve elephants in general.

    Others want to give them more flexibility and consider Elephants to be a lost cause.

    But the question still remains

    How do we buff them and moreover can they be buffed subtly, like how the bohemians were recently nerfed?

    Opinion on Petards? (I'm curious)

    Posted: 16 Jun 2022 11:02 AM PDT

    For a long time, I had thought that petards were a meme unit, or simply not worth training. Still, I decided to try them out, and they suprisingly worked very well , especially on arena. I just wanted to ask you if the reason petards worked for me is the fact that I'm a Low Elo or not. Do people from mid elo or high elo use petards on arena or other maps? I'm just suprised about how good they treated me in arena games 1v1. In my last arena game for example, I just created two petards with 12 gbeto behind them , and made an attack to the eco behind the enemy's walls. Since it is low elo, the enemy just surrendered 11.

    For those wondering, I'm swinging between 700-900 ELO 1v1.

    Would you want a civ with "Trees last X% longer"?

    Posted: 16 Jun 2022 12:58 PM PDT

    Unlike with the Tatars (longer-lasting herdables) or Malians (longer-lasting gold mines), having trees last longer could be somewhat inconvenient on certain maps, as chopping trees doesn't just give you more Wood, but also clears away space for putting down more buildings. Needing longer to chop those trees down could be annoying. Additionally, since there are so many trees, having them last even a tiny bit longer could be incredibly strong in terms of how much extra Wood you get over time.

    We already know how much it can contribute to extra resources for the Mayans, and while they technically already have this bonus, it's for all resources, not just trees. I imagine a civ with this bonus would get 25% or 30% longer lasting trees, which could lead to a large increase in total Wood supply, even if it has to be harvested at the same speed as a generic civ.

    What are your thoughts on this?

    How to defend against cuman feudal push in arena

    Posted: 16 Jun 2022 04:42 AM PDT

    Wondering what can I do to stop cuman feudal push with rams on maps like arena.

    You cant go tower defence and wall because of rams.

    Going archers is also useless. And if I make scouts it can easily countered by pike ram.

    So what can do in that situation?

    got destroyed playing as Aztecs vs Sicilians... 1200 ELO... need help

    Posted: 16 Jun 2022 07:14 AM PDT

    So the biggest issue is how to fight his knights. In early castle age, it's fine. I have good monks and just a 3-4 will mean he can't engage with his small-medium group of knights. However, in late castle age and especially imp, I have no idea how to stop mass knights. Monks are helpful, but I don't have the micro for too many monks. In castle age I can still kind of deal with them with crossbows plus monks. However, in imperial age this strategy is epic fail.

    In imperial age with full upgrades, arbs do 2 damage to cavaliers which means this is even worse than arbalests vs generic paladins. my pikes have no chance to do anything. Monks are good but not in mass fights where I don't have the micro. So what do I do?

    Can we have elite slingers please?

    Posted: 16 Jun 2022 04:38 AM PDT

    We have elite genitour after all. The bonus damage could go from +10 against infantry to something light like +12 for the elite version, +5 HP, maybe +1 melee armor.

    What is the best strategy/procedure to fight mass CA from Huns?

    Posted: 16 Jun 2022 02:23 PM PDT

    I have a very low win rate against this. Mass knights won't work and it will significantly delay my Imp time. If I tech into skirms they will tech into light cav, a couple scorpions are not effective as well. If I wait and defend they will have a death ball of CA and can always reach imp faster. What would be the best strategy starting castle age?

    Drag Scrolling

    Posted: 16 Jun 2022 09:45 AM PDT

    Is there any mod or options in the game for middle mouse drag scrolling? something like dota 2, Stronghold, eu4 or civ. I tried the legacy thing in the game but it not being inverted makes scrolling hard. i want it to have a dragging effect, you move your mouse down, the screen goes up and vice versa. same for left and right too.

    What if the Hindustanis' Villager discount was instead a refund?

    Posted: 16 Jun 2022 12:43 PM PDT

    What I mean is, instead of "Villagers cost X% less", what if it was "Villagers refund X% of their cost upon creation"?

    This might sound exactly the same, but the big difference is that you need 50 Food to create the Villager in the first place. You just get reimbursed afterwards. This means the Hindustanis would not be floating as much Food if they've queued up a bunch of Villagers, leading to more cases of "Not enough Food" when trying to create military units. It also means if you, somehow, have no food left and are getting just a tiny trickle, you need to wait longer to get another Villager. It also means the Hindustanis can't queue up any more Villagers simultaneously than another civ, forcing more manual queueing and more force-dropping from Shepherds or Hunters.

    I imagine the devs won't go for this, since a discount is much more user-friendly, but it's a thought on a quasi-nerf for the Hindustanis. However, I predict the devs are just gonna nerf the Hindustanis' Villager discount as an easier change.

    Need help - units become invisible and screen keeps tearing. Sorry for the bad pic but I’m not sure why this is happening. Does anyone have a fix? I’ve been playing this game on this com for years and suddenly this keeps happening

    AoE 2 DE stopped lauching. Help troubleshoot

    Posted: 16 Jun 2022 04:39 AM PDT

    Backstory: I was troubleshooting other problem regarding razer cortex and nvidia shadowplay not working well in wow after an automated update. I had bunch of software updates lined up, most noteable Win10, Nvidia GFE, graphics card driver, F secure and Razer Cortex. Long story short, I fiddled around, used a restore point which I made 1 week ago and downgraded Cortex. After a while my desktop got nonresponsive, not allowing any other interaction than clicking my taskbar. had to reboot my computer.

    Now my AoE2 DE wont launch at all. my steam status briefly checks me into the game and then reverts my status. Small note: Discord also became bugged but reinstalling did fix it.

    I have tried the following troubleshoots:

    -verify game files, reinstall game, launch with administer rights, disabled AoE2 launcher, rebooting computer, updating GC driver, launching from Cortex&GFE, trying to lauch with compability mode, disabling antivirus
