Re: How did you find out about aoe?

Bought AoK when I was a kid in probably 2002? Got the Conquerers separately a while later. Probably my most played game ever in total. I didn't play multiplayer much because I was on dial up, but went on the Zone a few times. Was never even close to being good at the game, but I got interested into ...

Re: Saturday Smackdown: Status Update

This makes me sad but it's understandable and not totally surprising given the state of AoE3 right now. Coming across some Saturday Smackdown vids is what got me interested in AoE3 a while back after being a long time AoK fan, and I've enjoyed watching your streams immensely. Thank you so much for a...

Re: Open letter to ESOC, regarding Voobly adoption.

Aw, well there go my hopes of ESO shutting down anytime soon. Incog your ideas are great but not nearly enough people will switch. That's the reality of the situation. Yep, they definitely have a team working on this and obviously aren't going to shut down a service one month after upgrading it and...

Re: Would AOE3 be better without expansions?

I like the Asian civs a lot, as H20 pointed out, TAD was made by BHG which added a lot of freshness to the game (BHG's Rise of Nations is a really good game, I wish it still had a player base.) There are a lot of unique new design elements for each of the 3 asian civs that make them all feel powerfu...

Re: Aoe Tourney with handicaps

There's no way to organize a fair tournament but I would love to watch a one-off saturday smackdown style event featuring someone who's terrible at the game like me with like a 50% handicap vs someone like H20.

Re: I don't use hotkey's is that bad?

Like everyone else said, start with a few and add more once it becomes second nature to use them. IMO the bare minimum you should be using are find idle villager, and select TC+create villager. Plus probably build house, attack move, and maybe start using a few control groups You can just do cavalry...

if you go 5 sepoy, wait and see if you can do damage, into either 4 sowar or directly 600w-300e-large woodtrickle (in any order, maybe skip the 300e) you're actually in a much better position eco wise compared the the consulate rush, while having much more flexibility and only a slightly weaker tim...

Re: french vs germans semifinals

As a player who plays mostly French and German, I have to give the edge to France. France is all around a better civ. Their Eco is stronger (even when Germany sends 3 W) and their composition is far better. Skirms-goons-cuirs- cannons is way stronger than skirm uhlan. I don't understand why German ...

Just pronghorn. ^^ This is nitpicky but pronghorn are very specifically a North American desert animal and would seem weird in the African Jungle. I know there aren't any actual African animals in the game but maybe you could use Nilgai instead? It's at least closer to an African antelope. Elephant...
