>>2319367...Can't tell if that's sarcasm or not
>>2319371Sorry, missed Armenians.
>>2319375Armenians deserve to be in the game.
>>2318838>Similar wheeled artifacts have been found across Mexico, dating as far back as 1500 BCEThey demonstrated the principle of the tool with toys, and then never actually applied it over the next 3000 years? That's profoundly embarrassing.

>>2319386Yes, actual armenians. Not whatever that civ is.
>>2319402Human power is also effective, look as Meso trade carts
>More spear chuckers JFL. Is this somehow more grounded than three chinkdoms?
>>2319414...but I am playing as Armenians in that screenshoot.What the fuck are you talking about?
>>2319418no
>>2319419Civ called Armenians that has nothing to do with actual armenians.
>>2319427Ok.
They should flip the Tupi UU bonusesClubmen who wear nothing are only good en mass.Archers who have an attack effect, can be be damage over time to represent the Tupi’s poisoned arrowheads. The origin point for the notion.
>>2319399>>2319415As I said, they seemed to have used wooden rollers, and used wheels with rotary motion in textile and ceramic production, but as far as using wheels and axels on full scale carts rather then just the miniature ceramic models? No, probably not.There are some depictions of wheeled carts in the Codex Duran (pic) and accounts which describe their use transporting monuments, but it's generally thought that this is more the result of Post-contact practices and technologies being retroactively applied to Prehispanic events. It's possible that they really did just use carts before contact too, but if they did it would have been very uncommon.As >>2319402 says, without draft animals, and especially in a region which is largely swamps and jungles in the lowlands and mountain and valley ranges in the highlands, wheeled carts simply aren't that useful over people using back mounted carrying frames. Look at transportation and logistics in Japan for much of it's history, they even had beasts of burden and still relied on human driven logistics for the most part.As for why no wheelbarrows, as I understand it, those show up pretty late even in Eurasia, and you need more complex wheel designs to support them and other devices that make use of wheels like water mills, and without an initial incentive to develop/use basic wheels for carts, they may have never had a reason to experiment with other uses and more complex wheel designsPart of that might also be because wooden wheels benefit a lot from metal supports to avoid splitting, and Metallurgy shows up late in Mesoamerica: Gold, Silver and Copper smithing only becomes a thing around 600AD, and Bronze was only smelted starting a few centuries before Spanish contact. The lack of wheels might also have been a reason why metallurgy shows up so late, because making those metal support bands for wheels was a major driver for the development and iteration of utilitarian metallurgy in Eurasia.1/?
>>2319438>wheels with rotary motion in textile and ceramic productionIs this some kind of semantic trick or do you have access to secret history? My art history professor was a viciously anti-White La Raza type and even she didn't claim that Central Americans had developed the potter's wheel.

>>2319438>>2319399>>2319415>The lack of wheels might also have been a reason why metallurgy shows up so lateMeant to also say "and metal tools" here.cont:Lastly, it could might also be because in Eurasia, metallurgy developed alongside cities and complex civilization (tho I've seen some sourced dispute the timing there), so their infrastructure and logistics was able to be designed around metal tools, wheels etc, wheras in Mesoamerica, you had cities and civilization for thousands of years already before metals show up (Teotihuacan, see pic, for example, rose and fell before metallurgy shows up in the region, and it was on par with some of the largest Roman cities), so even if they now could use metal tools, make supports for wheels, it wasn't worth rethinking society to switch over to them. >>2319418I admit that going with the Tupi, Muisca, and especially the Mapucha is a bit baffling for me too. If they wanted a South American theme, the Chimu and Moche or Wari or Tiwanku were right there, and would have been a better ft by being fully urbanized civilizations (at least I think the Moche were, I've seen some sources describe them as Chiefdoms though for some reason). Certainly I'd have at least picked one of those over the Mapuche who weren't even organized into semi complex towns the same way the Tupi and Muisca were.Really though if I hjad my pick, it'd be the Mississippians, Purepecha, and Chimu>>2319451I don't mean potter's wheels, they didn't have those. It was another kind of device though I admit off the top of my head I don't recall the name. For textile production they're just spindle whorls. 2/2 for now

>I am forgotten...
>>2319457There are narrow circumstances in which a yard wagon is better than a TumplinePlease I beg of you, just spend some time thinking about how your backyard in 2026 might be a different context to Mesoamerican terrain and needs
>>2319475Not by me.
>>2319475AoE1 was fun again as a little nostalgia trip, but it really just served to demonstrate why 2 is better. I can't ever imagine replaying those campaigns, and I've played every campaign in 2 twice over.
>>2319402you don't need draft animals for>wheelbarrow>hand cart>treadmill crane>(wind or water)milland those are just examples from game techs. wouldn't a water pump be useful for people who built their city in the middle of a lake?
>>2319480>wheelbarrow>hand cartin their circumstances, inferior to a Tumpline>treadmill craneprimary usecase is lifting many heavy stones when constructing multi-storey masonry and required significant tooling. There just wasn't sufficient incentive>millmaize is ground wet, water mills focus on dry grinding.

Speaking of gimmicks, DE is still running on the Genie engine, right? That means they still have three gimmicks in store (well, two, since the Shrivamsha Rider already uses one).https://expanding-fronts.fandom.com/wiki/Shieldinghttps://expanding-fronts.fandom.com/wiki/Powerhttps://expanding-fronts.fandom.com/wiki/Stealth/Detector
>>2319493that's bullshit. the aztecs had highly urbanized areas where someone might spend their entire life in a city. are you telling me that a cart would be worse for these people that carrying shit on their backs?
Earth and Water was a good scenario
>>2319475I'm a bit disappointed that they never backported all the campaigns, but then again what was ported is ridiculously easy and overshadowed by the newer campaigns they made for it. It leaves AoE I's situation being in an awkward segway between three releases, since DE also redesigns entire scenarios. Though they did finally import Regicide after Chronicles released, the king is slower than villagers with the wheel researched.
>>2319504>are you telling me that a cart would be worse for these people that carrying shit on their backs?Yes, they'd be using canoes or tumplinesEven European cities mainly used carts for inter-city transportation, after which they'd be unloaded for porters
>>2319507>segway
>>2319506truly a masterpiece to make a naval scenario in AoE2 not dogshit
>>2319418yes>>2319427elaborate
>>2319520>elaboratenta but the armenians civ is really based more on armenian cilicia than armenian... armeniacase in point: the naval bonuses and focus on infantry instead of being another byzantosphere heavy cav faction like the georgians
honestly the Georgians are similar enough to what "Armenia" Armenia would have been anyway
>>2319475Sargon and Pyrrhus were kino and I will never forget them
>>2319525thanks for elaborating
please buff handcannoneers. they (and i) need it.

Why do elephants take six gorrilion bonus damage when monks already cuck them hard?
Cilician Armenians are Armenians though.
>>2319561yeah and bretons are celts, but it’d be weird if the celts civ was based primarily off of them wouldn’t it?
>>2319577That's a bad comparison. Celts are more of a linguistic group than anything else. An extremely vast one with many different cultures, from Ireland to Central Anatolia.The Celts should in fact be renamed to Picts. There is nothing Irish, Welsh, Cumbrian, or Breton about them. A more apt comparison for your argument would be if there was a "Caucasian" civ and it was exclusively focused on Armenians, rather than a nebulous wider Pan-Caucasian civ that included elements of the Georgians and other various Caucasian peoples like the Albanians or Circassians. Or if a "Greek" civilization was based entirely off land-based Sparta, ignoring everything else. Cilician Armenians are just Armenians.
>>2319402yes?
>>2319586thank you for failing to read any of the discussion around the post
>>2319590you mean you insisting that a cart could never possibly be more useful than a backpack?
>>2319542None of the new civs will use you and my Tupi zergling archers will eat you alive, get fucked

>>2319953African Kingdoms was over a decade ago, anon.
>>2319998It's not about APM. You have to memorize build orders. You play either knights or xbows.
>>2320033>You have to memorize build orders.What does he do after the first 8 -12 minutes though? You know the game doesn't end when someone hits feudal right? There is more than "memorizing" a build order.
I want to avoid playing archers, skirmishers, knights, or scouts wherever possible.What civ do I play?
>>2320121aztecs
>>2320121Celts>2320122>Aztecs>Not playing skirms
>>2320122>monk and infantry civKino. What's the play? Monks and Pikemen? I assume Monks are good at high levels due to the conversions, and not because of the healing and stuff. Seems like an extremely gold-intensive strategy.>>2320129>Infantry and siegeI'm really low IQ and I always end up killing more of my own melee units with mangonels than the enemy's crossbows. I don't understand what people are doing that makes them so effective, outside of them being good against bunched up units. I do love fast infantry and Scorpions. Isn't that ultimately more of a Romans thing, though?
>>2320140Infantry scorps is a totally viable strat, and yes, Romans and Khmer are the best scorp civsKhmer you can do elephants, Romans do infantry
>>2320121learn to phospheru and you can play with every unique unit in the game. Mass militia and/or town center drops can also be fun.
>>2320121Goths
>>2320148does phosphoru fc still work? I thought it made the devs seethe so they nerfed it. how do you do it with uus that cost gold?
>>2320140>I always end up killing more of my own melee units with mangonels than the enemy's crossbowsSometimes my mangonels demand a sacrifice
>>2320169yes it still works, the market nerf did not hurt the strat much (except for some food heavy units). And you usually position your castle covering gold and wood or put your reinforcements near your gold and wood for protection. If you meant food UU's you usually add farms and/or buy some food to produce units.It can be a hard strategy but with some practice getting used to it, you can wreck people and make people salty with it.Should of included a build order with my initial post, works mostly the same with all civs but some can do it faster i.e civs that don't make castle UU's or civs with good eco bonuses like ethiopians.https://youtu.be/TjkQv15Q_kM
why do some people just hate good graphics?I get making the trees smaller, but geez isn't that a bit too much?
>>2320121Bulgarians
>>2320203nobody hates good graphics, we hate unreadability in dimetric perspective, which your insane example actually makes worse than base DE
Just giving you my worst take, But I honestly think that every civ should get a hero general unit. I know people would rather remove them from the chink shit civs, but I kind of would like to see what other civs would get.
Just giving you my worst take, but I honestly would love to see a Roman civ in Age of Mythology. I know people will screech that it's just like the Greeks, but Roman mythology has many cool deities very different from the Greek stuff like Janus, Saturn and Quirinus and if they lean more towards Italic/Etruscan influences it could be very cool.
>>2320212>Romans in AoM but instead of their gods adopted from the Greeks it's their emperors who were elevated to godhood
>>2320212Sure, probably wouldn't be hard to make as a counterpart to the Greeks, I'd play it. Then again, I would also play an AoE II-like civ themed around Abrahamic religions or some shit.
>>2320217This is an idea far too based for Microsoft to comprehend
Romans should get Isis as a major god. You know it to be true.
>>2320204bulgarians play knights and scouts>>2320121>>2320140>I want to avoid everything that's not barracks
>>2320229some posts are just too based of sissy jannies, but I saw that
>>2320212The god artist for AoM called the Atlantean gods Roman. And several of their units are gladiators or Roman siege equipment.
>>2320202yeah I meant food uus. when do you add the farms? I want to do it as spanish.
>>2320121Incas, if you can manage to MAA + tower rush you can probably get away with eagles vs archers until you can mass slingers.
>>2320368ALL of their units are roman + their ships.It's just that their buildings really aren't, which throws people off.
>>2320368They also have Mesoamerican aspects too, llamas for instance
>>2320534>Mesoamerican>llamas
>>2320534Meso = middleLlamas are exclusively from South America.You fucks don't even have any excuse anymore now that the Inca are getting their own architecture.
>>2320212>>2320221>>2320229I'd only want the romans after we get Mesopotamia, the Andes/Inca, and Hinduism first
HD or Definitive Edition? haven't played in almost 7 years (2019) and still consider myself to be a newbie
>>2319339anyone?
>>2320707DE, only reason to play HD is if you have friends playing that refuse to move or for nostalgia. Like 90% of people play DE.
>>2320710Sorry lad, not today.
>>2320293#NotMyBulgarians
>>2320707HD barely justified itself when playing CD on Voobly was generally more consistent. DE more or less supplanted the former two with both campaigns and online.

>>2320584>Mesopotamiathey better have those goofy ass donkey chariotsclosest we ever got was background art in the Sargon campaign, I want to see those guys as a real unit
>>2320771But siege towers are a joke
>>2320771they will do literally everything before admitting fire lancers are a retarded gimmick unit that should never have been added to the gamewatch people start using rams instead of siege towers and be exactly as obnoxious as before, leading to a ban on rams
>>2320771buffing siege towers so hard they had their cost cut in half and now go as fast as cav is retarded though. They should just be removed from the game since they have never functioned in their intended role.
>>2320802Rams are much slower and take bonus melee damage, they won't function in the same way.
>>2320806just slow them down and make it empty fire lancers' ranged timer when they jump outez fix
I like the sound design for siege weapons being progressively deeper drumsThe rat-a-tat of scorpionsThe deep booms of trebuchets
>>2320771>Noooo i don't want infantry in my Age of knight and archer 2Total pro death
>>2320830Siege and Building sounds are an underappreciated artform. I'm glad it was all set in stone for AoE during the very last moments of the 90s.

Make siege towers as slow as rams, make them drop out troops one by one with a slow delay, and make it so units can enter them from both sides of walls. There, fixed.

>Siege towers is too strong it is just koreans siege tower fire lancers on ladder>Now we have gotten rid of siege towers we can play a wider variety of strategies such as koreans guard towers plus fire lancersYou all owe the siege tower an apology, the real culprit is fire lancers being OP
>>2323297What if it's just Koreans being op
>>2323297fire lancers were always the problem, but to address it redditors would have to admit adding more shitty DLC gimick units is a bad thing and that's never gonna happen
give me your unit gimmick ideas for the next dlc after this one
>>2323311What is the siege tower if not a gimmick DLC unit from HD?
>>2323299You never saw Koreans on land maps before fire lancer addition>>2323311It would be alright if Fire Lancers were good in castle age but then fell off in imperial age, they don't they are still good because they have 85 HP and they benefit from gambesons so they can be pretty tanky, and Korean fire lancers are cheaper than champions.>>2323316A man at arms but it is actually 2 midgets in a suit of armor, upon dying it splits into 2 manlet in arms.

>>2323329don't feed the trolls, dude
When in doubt, sling the GothAlmost died to their combined castle age push tho
>>2323316A support unit that gives every unit in a small radius around it that extra hp "dodge" bar that the Shrivamsha Rider has.
>>2323325guy who does extra damage against low-armor unitshe doesn't actually have high base damage, he just gets a damage bonus against units under a certain armor threshold
>>2323316Feudal age weaker version of scorpions that auto upgrades like camel scouts.
so let me get this straight, aztecs have the best raiding eagles, mayans have the best eagles for battles, and incas have just worse mayan eagles?
>>232339090% true other than incas are best at anti-ranged in post imp. incas have cheaper eagles and aztecs have faster training eagles, mayas have nothing before expensive imp techs.I personally like aztec eagles for noburu rushes since feudal eagles train super slow. Also they are good for supporting aztec monk siege rushes.
>>2323190Name one main game DLC which had new civs but no multiplayer. There’s only v1 of R&R which is aoe1 and chronicles which is aoe1 2. If they brought out proper DLCs with new civs and campaigns for the actual main game (like they did without issue from The Forgotten to DOI) and did it 5 times more frequently than they do now, ignoring all multiplayer shit, it would be a success

>>2323316Court Wizard unique monk that has a manually targetable AoE ability that curses enemy units to damage themselves when they hit other units.
>>2323316Short ranged foot archer that can fire while moving. Slow moving heavily armored archer. Infantry unit that when it kills enemy villagers it converts them into a militia line troop, or converts enemy trash units it kills. A javelin chariot unit that has a button that you can press to allow the chariot to make a cheap disposable infantry unit. An infantry unit that can steal the weapons of its enemies, if it kills an archer its attack becomes ranged, if it kills a cavalry unit it becomes a cavalry, if it kills a gunpowder unit it gains a gun. A cavalry unit that provides aoe healing to other units nearby each one providing 1 hp/min to a cap of 30hp/min, It is otherwise an okay melee unit. An infantry/villager hybrid unit that can collect resources and repair siege/buildings.

Queued some ranked 4v4 with my mates last night. Arabia favorited the whole time.10 queue pops for Arabia.6 of them someone queue dodged or had their queue crash.4 times actually launched the game, but had one or multiple players immediately desync the second the map loaded.0 actual games played on Arabia during a 4-5 hour session.Is it fair to call this literally unplayable at this point?
>>2323602Arabia 4v4 being the most boring, unimaginative shit might be a reason. Other than that, yes dodging is a problem lately.

>>2323696>What's wrong with siege towers?Pros learned that Fire Lancers still recharge their ranged attack while inside a Siege Tower so they're being used as taxis for those units who instantly get out, shoot, then go back in and run until they recharge.

Is there a reason why the ingame recs are working like putrid trash? I'm trying to watch my previous matches and it's laggy and even froze my PC once already. This didn't happen last year.

Holy fuck, that was nailbiting tense. So glad Vinch vs MbL game counted, it finished at xx:59:12.
Vinch better not lose now. Also why is Mbl such a faggot? Nothing would change regardless of the result of that match.
>>2323796The fuck do you mean? MbL is a hero. That was awesome by him to play and give Vinch a chance but he also played honestly. He deserves immense respect.

Goddamn, got matched with an actual honest-to-god hacker in ranked. Didn't even know these kinda cheats existed.Dude had full vision of the map, knew exactly where his sheep and deer where hiding in the fog of war at the start (including bonus neutral sheep), perfectly tracked and hunted down vils he had no vision of across the map, and perfectly tracked our armies he had zero way of seeing.But worst of all he had the ability to attack and destroy unbuilt building foundations we placed. Sent villagers to wall of a section with a gate? He saw it instantly through the fog of war, ran to the foundation and destroyed it, and then hunted down the vils. Even did it to a castle my mate tried to build on a hill because his scouts just ran up to the foundation and destroyed it before the vils could even get to it.And of course he was fucking Chinese because where else would these fuckers come from.
>>2323984That's still being generous considering WotR still falls within the game's original timeframe.
celts should get more bonuses actually.
Romans should lose Knight and gain that Achamenid Chariot unit in its place.
>>2323762For once I agree with the jeetmaster, remove Arabia from the team pool forever please.
Make Chu Ko Nu a unique upgrade to the Crossbowman, make Fire Lancer the Chinese UU. I have now fixed your game.
>>2323833Not quite, you'll have to memorize what civ has siege engineers and treadmill crane first
>socotra won the map votelets fucking go, can't wait to favorite the map for the entire pool and never get the map
>>2323264AhSo why are the devs willing to give the Inca accurate architectural graphics but the Aztec and Maya are still stuck with grey ruins instead of painted buildings?They even DID update the Jaguars (which legitimately looks good now) and Castle but the updated castle still looks like shit
>>2324068>>2323264forgot my image
>>2324046I like the idea of Longbowmen replacing Crossbow/Arbalester better, but I wouldn't know how to fill the void beyond an infantry or cavalry unit.
>>2324068Because Inca was never an original civ while Maya and Aztec are and devs are extra careful to not change these civs from pre-forgotten too much.We should get unique Caucasus architecture and Persians using Central Asian architecture before attempting to ruin Meso buildings.
>>2324073>Longbowmen replacing Crossbow/ArbalesterThis goes against my agenda of preventing Britons from having nice things.
>>2324084I don't think they'll get touched for the reason that they're very much a legacy civ a lot of people remember that has otherwise been largely unchanged over the years, and unlike Persians that did get a small revamp to overcome a newfound identity crisis - are also just kind of content being the most straightforward archer civ while the Longbowmen are more or less meme-tier.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xhHfiAy0bWkThey're a decent unit who just has the most redundant overlap while the civ is tactically pigeonholed compared to many more newer civs. Full upgrades on infantry isn't exactly stellar when plenty of others have capable infantry and archers alike and then some, even if they're not getting the same initiative.
>>2324068>>2324069what would you pick for the tlaxcala civ's UU, wonder, and castle?
>>2324100Having tlaxcala as a separate civ would be almost as bad as having Wei, Wu, and Shu as separate civs.
Would bulgarians getting crossbow make them too OP? Maybe making stirrups apply to cav archer and taking away their thumb ring could keep it balanced.
>>2324115Archers themselves are OP, so yes
>>2324115They're already doing very well for themselves since the infantry buffs. Generic cav archers only missing the final armor upgrade, yet can tech in much faster (like, their only real fundamental problem) is already good on top of strong infantry and cavalry, on top of cheaper siege workshop techs what fucking else do you need?
>>2324100I have to agree with >>2324105, I think it'd be a waste to have Tlaxcala as a separate civ when they were culturally quite close to the Mexica and other groups within the core of the Aztec Empire anyways, even if politically the Tlaxcalteca were enemies.Bluntly I'm not sure I know enough about AOE to answer the question also, but obviously either the wonder or castle would have to be the Tizatlan senate.I'd go with the Purepecha, Mixtec or Zapotec, or Teotihuacan for additional Mesoamerican civs.
>>2324115Their whole identity is having no crossbow. Adding that would be silly.
Is siege + monk the ultimate patrician combo?
>>2324183no it's halb + organs + bbc
>>2324183dies to light cav
>>2324183needs camel/pike/fire lancers
>>2324243>>2324241the halbs are an unspoken obvious inclusion
>>2324140Zapotec and Mixtec are neighbours who I think are both descendent of the Mont Alba civilisation. Not Mesoamerican-anon, so don't quote me on that.I'd do Zapotec and PurepechaA pair of champion/wood and archer/blacksmith civs.
What civ has the most viable battle elephants for 1v1 open maps? Perhaps malay?
>>2324305No wait I thought of a super-specialised gimmick for Zapotecs, based on the names of their AoE3 techs. They gather resoucres faster, the higher elevation the tile the resoucre is on.
>Epirus>Nicaea >Trebizond>Latin EmpireThe spleet is coming
>>2324316Latins for crusader states and crusader orders should unironically be a civ.
>>2319314OFFICIAL confirmation>>>/a/285395395As discussed previously, the mangaka is an AOE3 fan. /aoeg/ is now LEGALLY obligated to support him.
>>2324330>>>/a/285397299

>>2324326>LatinsItalians are already in the game.>Crusader Ordersnot civilizations
>>2324373>not civilizationsHalf the "civs" aren't empires despite being in age of "empires". Shit argument. The only requirement to have something added to the game at this point is whether or not someone can justify a few unique aspects of it.
>>2324311Yes Malay, your goal is to eat their TCs quick with Elephants.
>>2324374Still not buying your shit DLC, Cysion
>>2324311Just wall and skirm with malay into all in elephants + scouts for sniping monks.
>>2324373>not civilizationsStrange way of saying "I don't know anything about history".
>>2324316>Venetians as a Civ>campaign is a revenge story>starts with the mass arrests of Venetians and the Massacre of the Latins>ends with Constantinople burning, Dandolo sipping wine in the Palace of Blachernae with the city burning behind him, says "shame I can't see it" and chuckles to himself
>>2324373>Crusader Orders>not civilizations
>>2324034>Romans should lose Knightthat's right, they should have Equites->and gain that Achamenid Chariot unit in its placeno. No no no no no no no. Shut the fuck up retard.
>>2324467That unit is cool as fuck and barely used and Romans had chariots.
>>2324373And yet you consider mud hutters with no writing system to be civs? Curious.
>>2324495We already have Vikings, Huns, Dravidians and Malians.
>>2324495They are distinct cultures and civilizations instead of just political organizations, yes.
I say no to the miltiary orders and yes to the Crusader states.
>>2324105I'd also agree with this.The Tlaxcalans were a regionally small confederation that, militarily, was similar to the Nahuatl (Aztecs could be renamed that so that they could be more of an umbrella). They were culturally unique by not building the grandiose palaces and temples, but more spread out settlements with more democratic functions, not only between settlements but also within their cities, but there's no good way to represent that ingame without some gimmicky Age4-esque "play wide instead of tall" area of effect strcuture.Otherwise, they'd be pretty redundant when there are more unique other groups that could be captured as well; they just had influence during one pivotal moment, but I don't think that earns them a unique slott. Visit Tlaxcala last year (for work)
If Venice gets in then Genoa needs to as well. If Genoa gets in then you need to add Florence.
Celts should get the Chronicles war chariot.
Persians should get the achaemenid tech tree.
So what are the odds we finally get North Americans next year?
>>2324539I can't wait to quit this game.
>>2324494then replace centurions with chariots. Cavalry and chariots were two very different troop types, not to mention chariots were much more expensive
>>2324548Chariots were already considered very out of date by hundreds of years at that point, suitable for ceremonies maybe, but not combat. The proper way to do it would be to have chariots as an age 1 thing, but they are prohibitively expensive and take a long time to train. Once you get to age 3, you get normal horsemen as units that are as effective, but less expensive.
>>232453966.666% repeating of course
>>2324641Well that’s a lot better than we usually do.

>>2324365Cute girl FX trading is high IQ.
One aspect that I really apreciate about AoE2, and which I missed when playing AoE3, is the concept of gold runnning out and trash wars. You can go for a double gold comp but have to keep in mind that you will run out of steam earlier. Some civs excel at the hyper late game and others are put on a timer.It's also part of the reason why I don't like team games.
instead of new civs, how about new campaigns?

>>2324796>Have you thanked the sun today yet?I don't worship Sol Invictus, so no.
>>2324799You should. Sun is the only constant in our lives. Other than Death.
>>2324800>the only constantAir? Water? The ground beneath my feet?
>>2324801>AirOxygen levels were much different when dinosaurs roamed the earth>WaterThe oceans change all the time, lakes dry out, waterfalls gain a lot of flow and flood nearby towns, rivers change direction and require new bridges>GroundEarthquakes, avalanches, ground sinking, buildings falling, everything is possible. But the Sun will always be there, even when it rains. It will shine somewhere.
>>2324803>But the Sun will always be thereNo it won't.
>>2324806List one single day where the Sun did not rise.
>>2324808536 AD
>>2324812>The Roman historian Procopius recorded in his AD 536 report on the wars with the Vandals: "during this year a most dread portent took place. For the sun gave forth its light without brightness... and it seemed exceedingly like the sun in eclipse, for the beams it shed were not clear">For the sun gave forth its lightIf the sun gave forth its light, then it rose, even if the AIR was polluted.
>>2324814>If the sun gave forth its light, then it roseThen my examples also count because they're all still there even if they aren't perfect conditions for humans or fucking dinosaurs.
is this the most dogshit unit in the game? You need like 20 of them to destroy a castle in 10 minutes when an infantry ram push could kill one so much faster and they suck in combat.
>>2324817I don't even know what unit that is.
>>2324816The whole volcanic eruption thing made the air bad, not the sun. It was still there, but couldn't reach the people.
>>2324818not surprising given that nobody makes this unit past the launch week of the dlc when people realized its useless.
>>2324821>but couldn't reach the people.Then it wasn't really a constant for them now was it?
>>2324826Yes it was, they could still tell when it was day and when it was night, even if days were shorter. Only SOME plants died, otherwise all other animals wouldve died too and humans gone extinct, so there was still light getting through, feeding the trees.
>>2324725I want new civs and new campaigns.
>>2324725What if we had like a civ rotation? Like only 30 civs on the ranked ladder and it would change like every 3 months or something?
>>2324539Next year unlikely but I’d like to see it. I think another africa or SE asia dlc is more likely.
>>2324833No.
>>2324833Then half the ladder would stop playing because their favorite civ is gone, doofus. Just delete mudhuts.
>>2324725Instead of new civs, how about we remove 3K instead?
>>2324817>>2324822It's one of the coolest units in the game, they should buff them and nerf Jians
>>2324854This, I think the wu is a really cool civ but everyone just sees them as the civ with jians...
>>2324899Fukc yuo
>>2324833If I can't get my daily fix gothspamming noobs I quit
>>2324069I don't see much difference honestly.
>>2324817Their DPS against units is only slightly worse than the archer line, and they're the only unit in Castle Age that can outrange castles. In Imp they even have one more range against units than Arbs. They're vastly underrated.
>>2324970>Their DPS against units is only slightly worse than the archer lineyou're leaving out the fact that they are more expensive, comparing unit to unit dps is useless. Or how bad they are to micro vs knights due to the high attack delay and animation.Their one extra range in imp doesn't make up for being lackluster everywhere else
>>2324183Throw in some militia
>>2323316Spearman but fast
>>2324817Their long range siege gimmick seems extremely annoying to deal with so I'm glad everyone thinks they aren't worth usingLongbowmen are bad enough
>>2324463Are you retarded on purpose or by accident? Teutons refers to the Germanic tribes.
>>2324983They're more of a slow push unit than an agile raider, but they're still really good at their job.
>>2324326>niggas will do anything to play AOE4 except play AOE4
so is this game like clash of clans but for the PC?
>>2324983>>2324989>>2324986They're a Stalling unit, meant to drain the opponent of stone slowly.
>>2324817They should have been the Tupi UU, shooting poisoned arrows.But no, now we have spam archers and Clubmen UU in direct opposite of what they Tupi were actually known for.
>>2325081great, you stall in castle age and then resign in imperial because wu's power spike got wasted on fire archers
>>2324814>Roman historianhe made that shit up
>>2324988Just look at that wild savage germanic tribe bushman of a crusading teutonic order with crusading order insignia and crusading order armor. He represents the primal germanic protopeople worshipping wodan
>>2324988He's a civ spleeter, of course he's unfathomably retarded by nature
>>2324988>Teutons refers to the Germanic tribes.Yes, that's why the Saxons are represented by the Teutons in-game.
Why is the top25 like 55% third worlders?
REMOVETEUTON
>>2325217Why did Teutons get the coolest unit...this is bullshit
I love AoE2 campaigns Like, they're all really easy but it's comfyCan they just hit us with a HARD campaign? Like some really tough shitWould probably just get them bad reviews from players confused at the concept of having more than 1 TC, or attacking less than 30 minutes in
>>2325249What about Chronicles, anon?
regarding buildings to advance an age, I know you need two but can they be the same building (like two stables in feudal to click up to castle)? what about if you made the buildings but they got destroyed? Say you never made a SW, a monastery nor a uni, but made a castle and it got destroyed before you could click up, can you still do it?
>>2325266Alexander is the first "difficult" campaign
>>2325268you could have answered this yourself in Skirmish in 2 minutes
>>23252682 different buildings iirc 2 stables wont count but stable+blacksmith will
>>2325270do you people answer this everytime there's a question?>just make a skirmish everytime you wonder about somethingwhat do you guys even do here if you won't answer questions about the game to a nuplayer?
>>2325277thanks, now i feel bad about making the previous post
>>2325279Ah yea also the castle won't count if its destroyed before you click up but its ok to lose it if you already started researching
>>2325217>horned helmetcheck>fur capecheck>barbaric behavior (doesn't die)check>speaks g*rmanchecklooks likea savage tribe bushman to me
>>2325278play the gameliterally just play the gamethis is all answered as soon as you play the game
>>2325234>Bloody bitch bastard benchod tower rush saar
Dude it would be sick if they added a DRUID for CELTS who could convert ANIMALSImagine dying to a BOAR rush
>>2325309next AOM pantheon if the game get any dlc after Aztecs
>>2324539it's inevitable nowyou retards were supposed to be quarantined in 3, but 4 killed it and upset the natural order
Has anyone here or anyone you know had their game casted by t90? A few of my friends have been casted by t90, one even got their own legend of series.
>>2325340it's just "cast" in all casesthere's no such word as casted
>>2325346>autism
>>2325347keep speaking like a retard then, not my problem
I dont know
That same game the map glitched out and there was a chokepoint deep in the forest connecting red and greyFirst time in my life I have seen this happening in Arena
are there any games like this that have a better town building aspect? it looks like in aoe you can just plop houses down wherever you want instead of needing to attach roads to everything
>>2325358that's called "city builder"
>>2325359
>>2325227The United States is very bad at RTS games and isn't a popular genre there. You used to have a couple extremely good Canadians (Slam, Chris) but they've moved on with their lives and don't play much anymore. Not sure on France/Austria. Norwegians and the Finns are autistic so RTS appeals to them. RTS is big in Asian countries so I think that explains there. Not sure why AoE2 is popular in South America. Argentina especially seems to love it, though. I think their President challenged his opposition to a 1v1 on Arabia at some point. Then you got the one random fuck from India with Dragonstar. AoE2 also can run fairly well on most machines and doesn't require anything super robust, so third worlders with older machines can play it which probably explains SA.

>>2325217Where do you think the word Deutsch comes from dummy?
>>2325396>The United States is very bad at RTS gamesBut there's Daniel...oh wait he's chinese-american or some shitBut there's T90...oh wait he's a caster.Burgerland supposedly has tens of % of the playerbase, you lot have to step it up
>>2325396>I think their President challenged his opposition to a 1v1 on Arabia at some point.That was Manuel Adorni, the spokesperson for the current President and govermentKinda based if you ask meAnd yes, back then, technology arrived slowed in southamerica and you had 'newer games' with old machines, that's old RTS, specially AoE2 are very popular. Other old games like CS 1.6 are also popular, or were, back then.
>>2325227Because it's not worth the time and effort to go pro for many first worlders. Like it's going to take 10,000+ hours to get good enough only to be able to get a chance to play in tournaments that pay nothing compared to the effort.
What's the equivalent to Forgotten Empires for AoE III? Microsoft should have ate them like they did with the guys that made The Forgotten mod to keep AoE III alive.
>>2325604Wars of Liberty would've been the best, most elite team, all of the small civ-mods wre all scattered about different individual projects
I wonder (no pun intended) what's gonna be the mapache's wonder.
>>2325695Looks like it'd be the building on the right, given by the size of the perimeter
>>2325712That is so obviously their castle.
>>2325234How much izzat did you gain after this victory?
>>2325309this could apply only if you got a free starting druid in dark age (who could get sniped by the enemy scout immediately)
>>2325724The shit with the wooden people totems, I guess.
>>2325754Bottom building is the settlement.
>>23252682 different ones from current age (and house or farm or town center don't count).The castle is special, it alone is enough to unlock.imp.So, for Feudal Age unlock, pick two from (lumbercamp, mill, mining camp, dock, barracks).Castle Age unlock, pick two from (blacksmith, market, archery range, stable).Imperial Age unlock, pick two from (monastery, university, siege workshop) OR build a castle.I don't remember how Krepost worked here.
>>2325754Oh yea I thought that was the same stairway from the castle but it's really a different model, certainly their wonder then.

>>2325863I find curious how much you care about the lack of Armenian historical accuracy in this gameAre you Armenian, you simply care for Armenian history/representation?
>Historically accurate ArmeniansRome's bitch or Persia's though?
>>2325918Both, it bounced between them
>>2325918The entire Middle East's bitch and the Caucasus' punching bag

>cheater I reported got bannedjustice always prevails
>>2325221I'm a spleeter too, but along ethno-cultural lines, not statal lines. There's AOE4 for the latter.
>>2325913I care nothing for historical accuracy I just want good sounding voice lines. Feudal Longswords is such a fun civ bonus but I just can't enjoy Armenians as much as I do Celts, Goths or Romans because the Armenian voice actors sound completely dead and spamming right click fills your ears with this horrible ZZZZ buzzing izen vurador bullshit.
>>2326212I personally like these voicelines
>>2326109hey wait a second, why is that hairy drooling retard wearing a teutonic crusading order armor?! I thought tevtons meant the germanic tribe, not the crusading order!!!!!
>>2326306now tell me who founded and manned the crusading order, and what the "Teutonic" in "Teutonic order" means
>>2326109What did they do to cheat?
>>2326423Used siege tower + fire lancers
>>2326451fuck off hera
