/v/ who do I main?
Franks of course. I havent player the definite edition tho cus they look silly.
The Saracens are the protagonists
>>740595178You can't have me play the "default" civ that's too boring
>>740595092Any cavalery.Franks are for noobs.Wei if you want P2W imba civ.
>>740595452>weiI don't have that dlc
>>740596005Same, but their Cav Archers and Tiger Cav is insane.I play with Poles but mostly because I like the concept and have excuse after losing.It was the damn Folwarks!
>>740595229This, they have a great tech tree so they're good on every map.>>740595452Archerfags dominate in this game
B U L G A R I A
>>740596409I just tried them, they're aight
i reinstall aoe2 once a year just to load a dozen rams with teutonic knights and smash through an AI base
>>740595092Any of these:>Magyar >Frank>Mongols>Persians
MongolsHunsBerbers TartansGujarasPolesVietnameseAztecs
>>740598748>>740598416Man I wanna main one civ not the whole roster
>>740596409
>>740595092Mainly Japanese since I can make use of the bonuses easily.How do I get the courage to play online? I just play against the AI.
>>740598816Celts
>>7405991961. Lose a bunch of games to get to your ELO. There is no courage needed. Just play solo game with getting killed after few minutes.2. At your ELO people suck as much if not more than you.Everyone is clueless.The hardest part is to get in queue. Then just enjoy <3
>>740599427POOGOOOOOOOOO
>>740599196What difficulty of AI can you beat?
Goths https://youtu.be/YHW4XKlQ83k
>>740599478yeah i should just click queue>>740599717moderate pretty easily and hard with some cheese tactics
>>740600942Yeah if you have to cheese on hard then you're not doing that well. Hard from what I know doesn't cheat unlike higher difficulties where the AI is given extra resources
>>740601094none of the DE ai cheats
>Everyone's best bro>Versatile as fuark>Supremacy memery>FAITH, GUNPOWDER AND STEEL
>>740600203Goths are really fun again with the infantry changes months ago.
>>740600203One of my favorite things to do as a kid was play Teutons against Goths and just watch my Teutonic Knights rape face... assuming the AI didn't rape mine bfeore even getting to Castle Age lmao
>>740601126Are you sure? I'm pretty sure they're given resources on higher difficulties
>>740601910They do not.
>>740595178>I havent player the definite edition tho cus they look silly.Why would you even comment then. No ones talking about the old AoE2 in 2026..
>>740601910>>740602174Should clarify, in standard Skirmishes. Some campaigns still do shit like certain CPU's having unlimited resources and stuff like that.
I've not checked in on AoE2 DE for awhile, have they added some sort of >Starcraft 2 style Co-Op mode? I really like the campaigns and whatnot and maybe I'll pick stuff up on sale. i have base AOE2 DE and AOE3 DE... maybe worth getting AOE4 too?
>>740598250Stop uninstalling it. The game is relatively small on disk. AoE2 is so good it's a forever game. Whatever you're uninstalling to make space for doesn't even come close.
>>740601094yeah i just got the game im still learning hotkeys and stuff. i struggle with remembering to do upgrades especially eco upgardes and keeping villagers queued
>>740602357I struggle with resource management right now. I can't figure out the ratio of vills for each resource
>>740602465Practice the Art of War campaign it helps you learn every stage of the game
The AI seems to be pre-programmed to rush to castle age and then spam build knights. They've done this strat every single game. Makes the games really predictable.
>>740603354Not necessarily. They spam a specific unit at first then they spam counter units to yours
How do you do rushes in dark/feudal age?Militia line is really weak at destroying buildings without upgrades and when all the villagers garrison in the town center, they can easily kill your troops.
>>740603354So learn one of the several strats to put pressure in feudal age (or even dark age) and they should be easily foiled if your theory is correct it's not
>>740603739Pick Bulgarians. They get free militia upgrades and discounts for blacksmith
>>740595092Recommend me a civ. My fav late game strat is to build a trebuchet and have it destroy all the enemy buildings while a circle of troops protect it.
>>740602303I'd get the aoe2 dlcs before aoe4 personally
>>740603879Japan
>>740603739you don't, all you can do in a dark and feudal is harassment aoe is a defensive game you can't really break their bases until castle agethe best you can do is zone them out of their resources and hope your opponent realize they're losing and they resign early
>>740595092Mayans
>>740595092You don'tYou play random civ
>>740595092Random is the only way to improve
AOE3s civs are so much more distinct and interesting. AOE2 might as well not even have separate civs.
